Just renewed my multi bike policy,and having also recently bought a yamaha was dreading having to add it to the list and to say there are some tricks of the trade is an understatement,oh which yamaha?? An MT10 😳

I was suprised that KTM let them do the bit about how trick the bike is,the carbon swing arm is one thing but a top and bottom yoke in carbon 😳😳 so heaven knows the the th8ngs that didn’t get mentioned.

I’ll not spoil it but if you haven’t seen or watched it live it really is something special.

Having recently had a trip to the tarmac on our XR I sympathise takes some getting over,no panniers but a fully loaded 50l and tankbag helped,oh and locals on the way to work who helped us pick bike up outside of Portsmouth docks.

Look forward to replies cuz ever since the demise of Clark’s on top of the Lickies and the complete lack of any attempt from BMW to fill the gap,their are good mechanics out there(as in put a 1300 gearbox in my 1200 as a favour ) but I’ve been looking for a true independent ever since and that’s got to be 6 years or more.

Very early on with my K ownership made the decision that A it was long haul ownership and B buy what ever spares turn up along the way combine both of those with use of my K has also needed a decent 3 day weather warning and it’s hardly been wet never mind subjected to winter weather,although  I’d recommend avoiding any HS2 construction because even with the many road sweepers they can muster still desperate road conditions.

And the decision on what transport this Wednesday for Le-Mans(Moto 24 hour) is still open to debate looking out the kitchen window.

Welcome to the madhouse,cheapest advice is do lots of homework and understand how these K’s tick,they still need a few bob(Euro’s) to bring them into the 21’st century but it can be done,and I say that who is currently trying to get his head around(and failing) a MT10,can we have some photo’s.

Did the rear brake bleed last night,cap back on the res,tighten it and all is good,go out for a test run this morning doesn’t feel right and then brake warning light comes on  :evil: and I’m thinking Jeeze….just about to phone my other half to bring the van!!! Have a look at rear res see I’d tightened the top too much and it had twisted in the metal clip twisted the rubber brake pipe  :o,twisted res the other way and all’s good….phew

Had the ABS warning come on and I’d done nothing and with an XR that would tell me it needed servicing when it didn’t a 10 vin GS911 was just a fact of life.
