Bike number 3, I can stop any time I want

I was semi-looking for one, but a bit put off by the prices, stuck a cheeky bid on this one and was very happy with the price. Lucky for me the bloke lived at the Lake District so it was a nice drive there, and a brilliant ride back via Hartside Pass and the usual roads
Extra are:
Wings end cans with 2 baffle options
Scottoiler
Heated grips
Givi top box
The bikes a proper beast, and also surprisingly smooth. It seems to be on par with my other 2 much lighter SM's in the twisties, maybe the really tight stuff would catch it out but haven't tried that yet. ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Welcome to the club.
Mine's sort of broken, but I'm sure you'll enjoy yours. |

I wanted the 2013 white one with the orange frame at first, and also under 10k miles but to lower the standards a bit in the end
Yeah the clutch is apparently meant to be crap. It is due a major service so I might get that done at the same time before it causes issues. Also needs new front pads which I bet aren't cheap. Issue is the owner did the oil and filters a month ago, but dealers will be charging winter rates soon so I'll end up pissing expensive oil down the drain basically if I get it done soon, unless you can drop that part of the service, I'm not sure.
Haven't had any time to ride the thing lately, still haven't tried it without the baffles in the exhausts. Not exactly good riding weather lately either, I'd rather just hammer overtime at work until the weather picks up, then go back to normal hours and enjoy myself. Plus buy lots of bike bits ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

KTM require liquid gold in their bikes, it really is expensive If it was normal 10/40 I wouldn't be so tight about it. ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

I already make sure to park away from the riffraff aka Jap bikes, Euro bikes only thanks.
I think KTM owners should be nice to everyone, more chance of getting help when we break down ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 169 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
