Worse Sunday. Peddle bikes everywhere and those Sunday drivers that sit at 30 mph, whatever the road they're on.
Anyway, went out on the KTM this morning, god does this thing feel like I'm sitting on a little 125cc. Nice to get some cool wind to the body.
Question. Whilst riding the RT, only the RT ...

Took the old girl for the first time in ages. Hips weren't happy, but managed to do a 100 mile round trip. It reminded me how good the bike is. But in temps on the dash showing 28.5 c, I got home in a soggy mess. I always keep an ice-cold towel with me, but that just caused me to get hotter.
Take ...

Except for the spring replacement, which was a copper-plated pig to put on.


There's a trick to the spring. Put a screwdriver through the center of the spring and slide.
My kit, as i said, came from China, but the destruction was a copy of Wundelic with the name blanked out. This was the same ...

Ive Aliexpress on my RT. They work without any fitting problems

It is not recommended to reuse the bolts, but saying that ive always reused them with Loctite. Can't see how you can mix them up. They are all the same size. Unless you had vibration before disassembling, there should be none now unless you've fitted them wrong

Used Gripp Puppies for years. Yes, they do make the handlebars feel thicker, but over time they do mould to your hands. You can still feel the heated grip working. I have D. Trump sized hands, but standard grips always seem so narrow for me. I've never felt any vibration through the grips, even with ...

Working is nothing compared to retirement. You will work harder than ever with no days off for the rest of your life

Wish you all the best

I've got large sized, and with the dash trim removed, I could squeeze my hand inside. I ended up with only a few scrapes

Japan's best muff maker. Never heard of them but with the name of Beet J a Pan or Peter Pan am sure they will go far

Notice that only 2 people work there, and they have new uniforms and new gloves. Sounds like a quiet company to work for
Looks like ...

Found this video of a company that makes really great helmets. You can see how much each stage of quality checks improves the helmets

I've thrown better helmets in the rubbish tip

Today, so far, I've done diddly squat. May have to see what goodies they have on Temu

Must say you've looked after the bike. Good luck with selling it

The clip just clips in. Simple job if you have small hands.

Welcome to our site. You will find the RT a lot lighter than a GL. Ive owned both. The GL is a more sit-back bike, while the RT has more of a sport tourer sitting position. Servicing if done by yourself, is cheap, and no special tools are needed. As for the main dealer costs it is quite expensive ...
