I managed to find a bottle of repsol that matches the specs as shown in the book. At nearly R100 bucks a little it better do the job...

Who has got an after market pipe on their bike?
Is it worth it? And what make?

What's the funny "clatter" noise when shutting down?

It's the starter clutch, sits behind the flywheel.
Quite normal when you shut down.

If it makes a graunching noise upon startup that's a different matter.
Often goes in the 40 000 - 45 000 km window.

Mine was just replaced, about R 6000

A Bosson can't say I can feel more power but it sounds much better.....so it must be faster

I managed to get an 18 L tank from a Duke II & the seat in the UK. I shipped them to SA & fitted them. The seat pan took quite a lot of chopping to get it to fit, at the rear. Currently the seat gets help on with a robber bungee.

An issue is that my FCR 41 is really difficult to get to for the choke & hot start.

The mirrors are also close to the tank!

There's a guy that used to work for/with Darryl Curtis & he'll make me stickers for the tank for R600. I was thinking of doing something like this.

Just bought into the KTM family! '07 model 640 with 42,000 km on the clock. Needs a lot of work, but with that Bosun on, it sounds amazing. I want to respray all the plastics, but KTM Cape Town told me there is no sticker kit for the tank though... Any thoughts and suggestions?

Welcome to the 640 stable.

Hey Guys.

Just purchased a 2007 640 with 7700km. I am looking for an after market slip on as well as steering damper. Looking forward to taking it on a longer trip. Hope it wont disappoint as I am used to my 990?
