I hope I can make this wherever whenever it is!

The right hand guard didn't seem too happy. When I took the inner mounting bolt out with some difficulty it sprung out a few inches, having been in a stressed position from an apparent drop. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/KTM/IMG-20150813-01043_zpsefzluaes.jpg So I decided to take i...

I had to adjust the position of one of the hand guards to fit the turn signals. Bolts had been in there a while. I decided to take them all out, apply anti-sieze and reinstall.

Thanks to Troy's generosity I have a spare, clean and oiled air filter to install!
I don't think I messed that up.

Things like "water weter" claim to increase the ability to transfer the heat, similar I guess to water being a better coolant than glycol mix. However the consequences of just using water outweigh the lower transfer ability of the glycol coolants. I used to be a fan of the "water weter" type additiv...

TROY, do you have a preferred coolant you reccomend for this thing?

Thanks

It was almost like an oily clay that dispersed into minute independent particles on the rag. My uneducated guess is met...

New stator gasket on the way.

Well darn. Being my overly anal self I decided to check for water inside the magneto? case after having just washed it. I don't know if you have ever had water freeze in that area and spent a lot of time troubleshooting and being convinced your motor has locked up for some unknown reason, but if you...

I am thinking of a pop up or some kind of camper as well. Definitely if one of the Miatas sell but maybe if they don't! I wish I had a pop-up to trade you! I've alway wanted a Miata- one of those would be a blast on the curvy roads around here! :mrgreen: Yes, we just took my girlfriends 95 with 170...

Let's see, car wash or bucket and brushes? Well it's nice day, I have some time (and not to mention the scolding I would probably get for car washing) so I got out the stuff at home. After all, when you spend $6K on a used bike you like it to look good for a while. :shock: http://i103.photobucket.co...

OK, I know it's a dirt bike and will get dirty again but I like to know what's under all that plastic and get familiar with at home rather than explore for my first time on a trail somewhere. So I think it's time for some cleaning before I go any further. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carl...

Did you put the case saver back on? I trashed a kx way back in the day over some such foolishness when a chain let go. Not yet partner! :) After looking round at the parts I took off, I don't think it's got one. I have seen those break out the mounting holes and the clutch slave on other bikes so I...

Hey easy, you will get me crying!

OH shoot, I need riding gear too for this. It never ends!!!!!

Oh, trials tires?

Let's talk about the value of that too.

Yeah!
Set a date and location. I will speed up the work on new bike!

Do you remember riding it up and down my street when you bought it?


Yea just messing with you.

OK OK I get it!
