It might not be important to most but I got my bike back today after it was unridable for a a period of close to 3 months :ricky:
I last rode in mid Dec last year and decided to have my rims replaced, a new facet fuel pump installed a new back tyre and some general issues looked at.
While the bike was at Runners shop they noticed that the steering neck bearing is shot.
I had this bearing set replaced 3 times over the last 7 years while doing around 50 000 k's with the bike since new.
Runner commented that the steering shaft is so worn he could not replace the bearing on it.
So - time for a new steering neck triple clamp shaft - only about 650 ronts from KTM :thumleft:
The problem is - the part had to be imported!!!
So I waited another 7 - 10 days
Got it back and took the first ride today
Geez man - I had a smile around my face
Suffered from serious bikeless depression!.................im sure such a thing exists?
