Title: new bike day
Post by: komp on October 03, 2016, 03:52:04 PM
no guessing games im afraid and a day late, but didnt get home til after dark yesterday so didnt have any decent photos to just now
finally scratched my ktm itch and got myself something much more suitable for putting in the miles while still being a bit lairy

came with loud cans, heated grips,  panniers and topbox, std cans and few other spares
low mileage and very clean

hope to get missus to come along on a few more trips again now i have something a bit more comfy
only negative so far is some pulsing from front brakes, i am hoping its the pads and not the discs

well that is what i thought, but after reading up on ktm forums lots of people seemed to think they cured theirs with a switch of pads or even a clean up of the pads and discs
figured no harm in trying the cheaper option first
