My new machine ;)

oooh, looky looky, a time-bomb ......... tick, tick, tick, Katooooom!!

Is this the bike that needs servicing between services?

i'd prefer 640....

Looks lovely and I have a funny feeling this may be the only photo of it with the engine in...

hi m8 i have one of those and it has 12000 miles on it i have used it for green laneing and supermoto
not had a problem with it just service it and ride it
have fun

Thats good to hear mate, this ones only on 700 miles!. Has your mate had the piston replaced at all or just done regular oil changes and valve adjustments etc?

hi yer it is mine actually and yer i changed the the piston at 250 hrs i think it was about £150 inc piston camchain, seal, and gaskets not a difficult
servicing wise try and and do it every 10 hrs use , just a oil change new filters x2 every now and then , valve clearance and remember to clean the two oil screens under the engine .
other than that great bike , i have just bought new body work to change the colour

Ah rite, sounds good alright then, good to no uve not had any problems. Will have to stock up on some oil and filters then!

yer i bought a pack of 8 (2 oil filter ber oil change) off ebay or some thing and use semi sinth oil not the ktm approved stuff cos it is a bit priccy
