  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  14. I bought one off Lazada for ~B350. Had mech install in ceeber along w/ changing burned-out rear running lamps. The old plug was platinum and prolly would have out-lived papa.
