I grenaded the rear shock on my KTM 990 adventure. Where is a good place to get it rebuilt/ravalved? I know a lot of guys like superplush, just wondering what else is out there. It's a lot different than a normal dirtbike shock. Thanks. Oh, and have you guys seen the trailer for the new "on any sunday" ?

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic about the tank having to be full, but there's a vacuum operated pump in the tank to pull fuel from the points lower than the petcock.

Also, the weight difference from stock is only +11 lbs when full.

Stock tank empty. 10.5 lbs.
Shrouds. 3.0 lbs.
HT PD bars and
required mounting bars 11.5
6 gal. gas 36.5
------------
Total 61.5 lbs.

IMS tank empty. 11.5 lbs.
10 gal. gas 61.0 lbs.
-------------------
Total 72.5 lbs.

 

I hope this comes out locally. We don't get a lot of these kinds of films in small midwest towns.

 

Me too. I also live in BFE and know what you mean. Sometimes they still play movies that are out on DVD already lol.

 

Picked up a 2012 F800GS a few weeks ago, what a great bike! It replaced a 05 F650GS.

 

My A* Toucans just arrived, and they don't fit. When I meant a US 13, I didn't mean a boot that is meant for someone with petite feet.
At least returns are free.

 

Metric

 

Badass bike.

 

Nice looking machine , I just picked up a Triumph Tiger Explorer , I'm usually a jap bike rider so this is my entry level british bike .
I still have a wr250r which is the tacoma of light weight enduro bikes .

 

My local dealer started carrying Triumph. It's good to see more manufacturers getting into the adventure bike market. How do you like it?

I ended up getting my suspension revalved at Konflict Motorsports, and they did a fantastic job. I had a WR450F and CR500R before my KTM, and this is my first "street" bike. Konflict valved it like a dirt bike and I am as happy as a puppy with two peters with how it rides now!

I also spooned on some fresh shoes for the big girl.

 

I need to go to Konflict and get set up as well. I get some pretty heavy nosedives

 

Finally gonna be warm long enough to hit a few trails this weekend

 

I just got the Tiger XC last week and its been dumping snow on us so I only put 50 miles on the bike .
It has more power than I can use on the dirt . I was and still am leary about triumph and really can't explain outside of my Yamaha's and Honda's never let me down .
I rode my buddies tiger last year and is a solid bike , there was a dealer 45 mins from me and gave me a awesome deal on a 2014 13500 with hard bags . The 2015 are 17k+ with no bags .
I traded a FZ1 I was not using and got a good number on that .
I really like the 800 XCX , got to see that bike close up , I would buy that over the KTM 690 Enduro R , having had a few of the KTM's had to put a lot over money in them to get them to run correctly .
As I said this is my entry level triumph , got it cheap enough if it does not work out I won't loose my pants .
I will post some feed back once I get rid of this white stuff .

 

1.0 led bar setup, gonna redo the plastic

 

What bike is that and what are the handguards?

 

2012 klx 250, moose contour hand guards. Not the best fit to the bars but that take a beating

 

I like the integrated leds. Think they could be hooked up as turn signals? I would like to put them on my KLR650.

 

They dont have integrated leds, I think you are looking are the reflective stars

 

06' KLR- Love this bike... Just noticed the DS thread after all these years. Better late than never I suppose.
