You guys suck. Riding while I’m at work in the heat. Jealous

Welcome fellow rider / fisherman. Ill be in SQ in a few weeks on a ride. Ill get tracks to do it again. Totally down for a fishing and riding trip later on.

I own a glass company but don’t do chip repair (bad for business). What I can tell you is have it drilled and glued while it’s small. Once it’s starts to late.

About to purchase Montana 610 or 680. Wondering about the T model. Do you use the Topography part of it? Dont need a camera built in but the photo with the ability to find the spot again sounds nice Let it roll What are your opinions

Thanks. Trying to keep it simple but with a large enough screen that I don’t need my reading glasses.

Sounds like an awesome trip Paul. Sounds like you got another bike. Congrats.

The Trail Tech fan is a game changer. You can set when it comes on. I set mine at 175. Pulls a lot of air thru the radiator. I’m very confident I haven’t overheated a bike while running this setup.

Huge fan of Evans plus Trailtech Fan If gone this route with The WR450F. 500EXC and 300XCW. Never overheated or boiled over since. Worth the investment.

Or go all out KTM with a 50k garage like mine

Nice for a beginner around town commuter but you’ll probably want more bike very quickly. If your looking for a more entry level bike that’s dirt worthy shop for a Suzuki DRZ400(good in dirt ok street) Or the Dr650( better street than dirt)It’s a bike that will do it all. Most people out grow the Honda 250l very quickly.

We we’re there yesterday as they were grading. Good part is it is smoother. Bad part. Be extra careful coming around blind corners for head ons. Ive been witness to too many on that road. I ride it at 1/2 speed.

That’s my style. Except I have mine dropped of at my mechanics house. Just a tad bit lazy.

I’ve been using this Kawasaki stuff. Had 10 cases of it given to me. I wash my filter in a bucket of diesel followed by dawn dish soap. Oil very thoroughly. I do it every other long ride. Maybe every 4 rides on 1 hour rides and rotate between 4 filters that fit both KTM’s. Throw away and replace once deteriorated. I think the most important thing is to have a clean filter. Also I’ve been using Twin Air pre filters especially on desert trips where we play in the dunes a lot and most of the sand is in the pre filter. One good spill in the dunes can completely cover your air filter in sand.

I got an amazing deal from MotoWorld on my 1090r. $13500 out the door. About the same as I paid for my 500exc. Not bashing them.

Love it Zubb. One of the best qualities of sand is it makes for a softer landing.

Let us know how they work out. Im so content with the GT333 rear and $50 Shinko Fatty combo it would take a lot to get me to try another tire combination. Unless Golden tire lowers the price on the Fatty I’m happy having a new front tire every 50 hours at $50.

I used to dread sand. Got over it by going to the desert every weekend for 6 months straight. And having Suspension 101 setup my bike properly. I now love sand

ShaftEd Nice bike. Post up a ride. I’m in Alpine on a new 1090r. Still a big bike newbie.

Welcome. Post up a ride or join in on one. Nice stable

I’ll take 2 3x.

Btw. I’ve fallen I love with my 1090. Got off work early did a Boulder Creek - Julian - Banner to S2 - Mud caves to Blue Inn back thru Julian to Alpine solo ride.

Moto World got 2. 1st one sold for 26k out the door. 2nd went for around 23k. Great dealer profit. Justin the KTM tech likes it a lot. Says it a wheelie machine.

I rode hard route last year and came up short about 40 miles on my 500. Its no joke. Last year was 100 plus and the fuel was boiling in my tank after climbing Malcolm Smith the hard way. Kudos to those who finish. There a lot tougher than me. Lets do a SDAR ride up there. I kinda know my way around the area.

I was impressed. My wife barely cooks.
