yes

Thanks for the clarification.

Getting ktm parts can be challenging.

thank you for sharing your wisdom.

If you happen to be in Pattaya, you could take it to iMoto on Sukumvit for a proper hot patch, not expensive.

2nd sunny day in a row. Have been getting some snow. Riding the TY350. KLR running w/ new battery. Tings are looking up.

Made it to Colorado. 29ºF or -1ºC each morning. Got one of the TY350s going and riding around, fun. KLR needs new battery. USA seems weird.

Any roadside mechanic can replace a Honda starter.

Like you said.

Why. They won't do anything helpful.

You could add some auxiliary lights if you anticipate much night-riding.

Naaa...

Rode the 15km loop this AM. Velly nice. Washed bike & drained fuel. Told Mrs Landlord of upcoming USA trip and tried to pay ahead 5-months rent. She wouldn't take any money.

Why.? Seems senseless if sprockets are not worn appreciably. The rear sprocket on my dirt bike is original, 32 yrs old. Still ok. I change front sprocket and chain ever year or so.

Print this yourself and hand to tech. B100 wouldn't hurt.. Or complain online. Up to you.

Your fault.

Right. Excellent DID 520, O-ring chain for my Duke was ~600baht, Lazada, & peanuts for labor to install. I'd expect a re-seal of forks under 1500. While you wait/have lunch. Dealing with any KTM shop is 100% pain in the arz. Would drother be punched in the gut.

Climber: The rear brake has been bad for a while, but was happy with just the front. Alas, today, 5 km. in, papa somehow tipped over in some rocks. Busted the F brake line. Getting back was real exciting on the downhills. The good mech was able to replace the front line, got the welder out and fixed the rear. Also had a prob w/ the L chain adjusting screw. The steel bolt into aluminum swing arm was all corroded & stuck. Needed torch to extract, then, re-tapped, oiled chain & ... good to go. ~1.5+ hrs. P & L = 825baht . B175 tip. Feelin' born again.

5 5 Thanks for clarifying. FAF. Bravo.

The molecules are bouncing arena real fast.

Starting solenoid dirty & sticking intermittently.

Maybe side-stand is down or kill-switch is actuated.?

Maybe some debris in the spokes.?

My Thai mechanics know 100x more than papa about fixing them thangs. Thx Buddha.
