You will learn!!
Anyway, got the new one run in yet?
lol, collected it today. Weather isn’t so great and I want to get everything coated in WD40 before putting any miles on it.
Will start it up for the first time tomoz and hopefully get it run in by pub time!
and with my old 250’s spare plastics:
Need to get some rad cowls and airbox plastics along with a sump and handguards
Covered 1.5hrs on the engine today, am just into the powerband now. Will prob do another hour on it tomoz to get me to full rev range, drop the oil and then start working towards full open throttle. This is going to be so much fun, it is soooo light and responsive to changes of direction. Its pokey too… even sticking to my running in procedure it was sideways on a roundabout earlier spinning the rear tyre! [
]Went over to Ginger’s Farm today, put another hour on it this time in the bikes more natural habitat lol
What a little beasty this thing is!
it is quite literally bonkers!So so light and responsive, not just the chassis, but the engine too.
Am gonna drop the oil during the week and give the air filter a clean along with any other maintenance that the book says to do. Hopefully get out again next weekend too (must remember to lower the tyre pressure next visit, was running road pressures today and it was a tad slidey like that!
The KTM found its first green lane today, was only a little one but plenty long enough to get the bike rather splattered, am gonna go back to Ginger’s this weekend, gonna be a soggy one by the sound of the weather forecast but needs must! lol [
] Hopefully a mate will be along with a decent camera and we’ll grab some action phots.I spent an hour yesterday setting the suspension up, am sticking with middle of the road settings to start with, will harden them up if I go to Goldingbarn Raceway tho as its prob a little soft for the table tops landing lol. I was by myself so have only sorted the settings with respect to static sag, was unable to do the rider sag, will have a fiddle with that next time a mate comes round to give me a hand while I sit on it [
