    KTM 500 EXC for Dual Sport riding

    I currently run 1.2 on my DR650 with D606 and that gives about a 2mm rim clean. Traction and feel are great at that pressure with this combo. The current batch of 500’s we’ve done, guys have used different tyres.. But 1.2 is a good starting point, then adjust up or down to suit feel.

    Not so great ending to a ride

    By the looks of those chicken strips, the furthest that GSX-R has ever leaned is on its side stand… ’Got the bike, but got no idea’ Al the best to your mate, on a speedy recovery. Vin Guts N Gas

    Ladies first bike.

    I’d second the XR150, street legal adventure ready and not intimidating. They’re lightweight, nimble and incredibly easy to ride. We ran one here as the shop bike a while back and racked up 70000km with no problems + when she’s ready to upgrade, you’ll sell it instantly. Vin Guts N Gas

    Rim bent and smiley

    If it’s on a spoke rim, give Kieran a shout at RaceWorx KTM. They have the equipment to roll out smiley's. Vin GUTS N GAS

    Alterative way to reduce helmet size?

    You can drop me a WhatsApp with a pic of the helmet and I’ll try sorting it out for you. We are an Origine helmet dealer. What size is your daughter supposed to be wearing? With some of these helmet brands you can change sizing with liners, but going from say an XL to a small is not going to...

    Fancy new BMW riding gear?

    There is a difference in the materials they use and the armour/protection. Generally the higher end stuff comes equipped with CE Level 2 protectors. Also the on of the biggest difference is that if in a year you went and bought the pants, you get a perfect match in materials. That’s where...

    Fancy new BMW riding gear?

    As a retailer in the industry, I can honestly tell you that it’s not us… Our margins are tiny compared to other retail industries, but as you go up the food chain it grows rapidly. Vin GUTS N GAS

    KTM parts always this useless?

    3 weeks is their standard answer, but it usually takes less. They can fast track your order, but you’ll cover the extra expense for shipping. This option takes a couple days. Cheers Vin

    KTM 500 EXC for Dual Sport riding

    With regards to the 500 and balancing of your wheels- Remove the front rim lock, not needed for Advenduro.. Then with the rear, rotate the tyre if you want to save on the amount of weights you use. But not necessary. Vibrations- Pro Grip Rally grips work a treat-either version. Also wrap...
