    Overfilled Oil

    Hi Guys, I have overfilled the oil in my 990 with about 1 cm above the MAX mark on the dipstick. Any cause for concern as I really don't want to have to drain the oil? I have not ridden it since. Was planning to do a trip to the shops.

    Bikes with broken number plates

    I drove to Cape Town yesterday in peak hour traffic. 4 so-called adventure bikes passed me with the right bottom side of the number plate broken off over the last 2 or so numbers. Some coincidence or is it just a sign of how stuff the law SA society has become?

    How long does it take to do a 60 000 km service on a 990 Adv?

    Took my 990 Adv in for its 60 000 km service to KTM CT today. Booked the service last week Wednesday. Arrived there at 8h50 so they reckon I can only get the bike back on Friday afternoon because it is a major service. Is this normal? I shudder to think what the labour rate is going to be.
