KTM Super Twins Forum

I'm not convinced that 'Brembo' are as good as their marketing reputation... :| . They might have a great reputation on the track (racing speeds without the milages we do or the hill starts with hot pads etc etc), but for road riding, I'm not so sure they are worthy of the extra price for so called ...

Hi all, I've run with PR4's eer since they were released and never got less than 20,000kms to the wear indicators ( fuk where's that calculator buried on my desk......oh right....12,500mls)....... and that's the tyre I'd recommend for anybody doing lots of long distances on fairly straight roads as ...

....... I can't get any speeding tickets on my GT.......... .... But then again, I can't ride it for a few more months either.....

Wish I was 'scrubbing in' a set of PR5"s .......... :cry: My Angels are wearing so slowly........ :lol:..... (that would be because I haven't been able to take the GT out for some exercise since early this year :shock: ). Oh well...... I'll have your experience with them when I do get around to ridi...

G'day Mick, Actually........ Lorenzo won his first race start to finish....... my BMW mate got that wrong (about VR46 winning :roll: ). My good buddy c/w a 2017 model RT1200 which needs a new ECU to fix a failure in the electric screen and security alarm (he's not impressed with BMW Euro's service e...

Yes to DaveNZ's summary........one of mine went warpy at 7,000kms (that's when I first noticed them in city traffic riding and red light stops). The dealership did their check ride to confirm my report and KTM Aus supplied two new disc's. I shouted for a new set of pads which turned out to be identi...

G'day SuperGT....... from Downunder (Aus). Welcome to the forum and enjoy tricking that weapon up with bling. When you look around at the competition, all the bikes in this category have become very pricey. Others have very small fuel tanks/ low horsepower/ no panniers/ massive weight etc etc... and...

Well........ now I'm feeling like I'm a really old oldbugger........ :lol: The esteemed doctors at the big hospital decided to adjust my tablets and also slice me open to install an ICD (errr, that's an internal defibrillator with pacemaker) to make sure my heart rate doesn't go too slowww or too fa...

Yep, you guessed it.. :roll: ..... I overdid it yesterday...... moving bikes, pumping tyres up (with my compressor) and also doing the Tucson's tyres....... shoulda known to leave it for another week.. :roll: . Oh well, my local GP says driving approval has to wait about 3 weeks to let the most rece...

Cheers pk1, I usually carry no more than 10kg of stuff in the top box. If you need to carry heaps, then have a look at the SW Motech web site. There is an alternative side case rack that allows Givi/Hepco Becker/etc etc bags to be fitted. It looks robust and would let you run much bigger normal shap...

Hey Dave Un Zud........ you're not helping at all with pics like that! ;) :lol: :lol: Got a ride in today.... ;) ........ of sorts - I am strong enough now to start my bikes and ride them from temporary storage in my neighbour's spare garage, across the grass and back into my garage......... bikes w...

Ditto for me....... well I would have had around 20-24000kms up if I hadn't had a coronary artery blockage :( Anyway, my GT is waiting for 'me' to be fixed under warranty :lol: , and only has 11,300kms due to my unreliability ;) . The Brembo brake is a safety recall (on behalf of all Brembo equipped...

Hi from the other end of the horse ;) We of the never never (that's Aus) have to be careful when you northener's talk gallon's.... I US Gallon = 3.78 Litres but 1 UK Gallon = 4.54 Litres .......... From memory (as I have been laid up for 2 months) I suspected my 17GT had 3 Litres reserve for sure......

Cheers all, thanks for the encouragement :) Hoping to be strong and ready for some pulse raising excitement in spring...... hopefully my run of 'bad luck' has ended and I can get back to >90% so I can throw a leg over the orange bike :lol: Counted the pills I take daily........ so far 11. Some will ...

Back again........ :o Lap top had a bung RAM card........ and I had a virus that put fluid around the heart causing some AF (Arterial Flutter) .......so, 'another' two weeks in hospital,with a drain put in under local anesthetic....... that was fun :roll: ...... and the removal was almost as uncomfo...

Cheers DaveW, My (get this terminology 8-) ) CABG wound (pronounced by medical staff = 'Cabbage' and short for 'Cardio Arterial Bypass Graft'.......yeah and I thought all graft was money... :roll: )..... is wired together and feels very solid...... gotta remind myself not to lift our fat cats or oth...

Ditto for me......... only 11,300kms but chain looks new. I'll expect around 60k kms maybe more (though it is a V2 with uneven power pulses and bulk horse power.. ;) ). No snow grit on our roads ( :lol: ) errrr, lumpy tracks. Cheers from Scar (they are healing nicely so I'll have to think of a new n...

Well that was fun........ :o Fainted while at 'Outpatients' waiting for my appointment....... ended up in ED again (bloody cold aircon) and then in a ward for the weekend (no bloody TV......arrrgh...... missed the Moto GP :( ). Will have to catch the replay on Friday morning....... ;) . The Doctors ...

:lol: :lol: Cheers Brett. Just call me 'Scar' eh? :lol: I put up a good fight too...... but no match for the chainsaw the doctors had waiting for me....... Better than dying but holy cow Batman....... best to be avoided if it's just diet and lifestyle related (unfortunately mine was family genetics ...

Hey Davo........ you realise it was "April 1st"......... eh? GT might have been playing a trick on you?
