After half a tin of WD 40, she decided that it was rusted tight. I paid $900 for it and restored it. Felt like a hippo and was very difficult to kick once in a dodgy position. Their cam chain adjusters were dodgy and a simple to make refashioned one is the go. Never ridden a KTM but they are the go to for many.
    Looks a lot flasher than mine - yes those cam chain doohickeys often get a mention on the various forum threads. A bloody good score for $900, that's the only benefit of hanging around people who are "drama" - they often make irrational economic decisions to the benefit of others
    I see you had your set up for road by the look of the tyres, mine has an old Land Transport plate on the neck so it was registered at some stage and while I do like the idea of a Motard I figure something that does two things (trail and road) often doesn't do each thing properly
    Just my opinion, many would say that Motard is a thing all of its own..

    I want an elec start on my next bike as it's a helluva lot easier if you've stalled it halfway up a steep bit
    Also I'm really aware that tech has moved on a lot since the mid 90s and the modern 300/350s are pretty damn quick
    Also I love two strokes

    Do you still ride?

    My mate has one of those new tyre setups with the inflated rim-wrapper that runs at high pressure so he can run the actual tyre really low pressure for more grip - he reckons that they are the absolute tits
