What does 'didn't work' actually mean? Is the lever solid, does it pump the master but nothing happens at the slave or is the lever dead/floppy.

It's the way of the World. No point blaming dealers, it's market forces. Punters want new or low mileage used bikes in the UK, where a majority of bikes purchased are for discretionary leisure use. Something like 4000 pa or less is the sweet spot. High service costs for say valve checks &...

You live adjacent to a desert - probably just dirt/grit under the seal lip, after say some heavy braking. Have you tried one of these: -...

TB sync won't be having any significant effect at 4500 rpm +. The usual issues with vibes are missing bar end weights, the clutch basket on gen 1 bikes, failing coil sticks, dodgy spark plugs (there are fakes around) or the drive shaft UJ failing. Otherwise, I wonder if this is a TPS/APS...

Sometimes, if they aren't too distorted, it's possible to use a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tyre. Gently tighten & that's often enough to allow you to get them inflated

Unless you have off road experience, green lane riding, trials, MX, then I suspect you will find the S10 a huge challenge, as some have suggested. At some stage, a fall is almost inevitable, so it's best to start out riding something lightweight & purpose built, that you can pick up easily...

I agree. There just has to be a slight run-out on that front tyre. Either the bead isn't seating, the tyre was damaged/distorted in transit/storage, or the rim is out of true. The max runout that is acceptable is less than 2mm IIRC. There is some chatter on the KTM forums about the bars...

Welcome from a snow covered Bedfordshire, UK.

You posted a code 19 side/kick stand switch error code on your other thread, so I don't see the point of starting a new thread here TBH. The stand switch, which links with the clutch switch, stops the bike being run when in gear with the stand down & the clutch out. It is a common problem for...

Very sad indeed. One has to wonder quite how this could happen on a freezing cold January night up at 2200 m, so it will be interesting to learn more idc. The last time I passed through, was summer 2018, when our schedule didn't allow us time to stop for a look around the place after we got...

The fuel pump/filter wouldn't be the first place I would be looking TBH. Before embarking on a hunt for the reasons behind your hard start issue, it's always a good idea to start by checking for fault/error codes. You can interrogate the system via the dash on a 2012. Have you checked the...

GSF are doing some promo deals at present, nearest store for C&C is Cardiff: - ................. https://www.gsfcarparts.com/parts/car-battery

This was said to be water ingress, but remember the bike was whipped away by KTM UK for a fix; I don't think they used the local dealer. There is plenty of clever & attractive tech around, on bikes & in cars with complex TFT dash displays, but one does wonder how it will stand the test of time.

It's really only a KTM with Husky styling & we are still only seeing the concept bikes rather than pre-production - it seems that roll out is a foregone conclusion though, with deliveries sometime in early 2022. It's different; I quite like it too, but not enough to tempt me to change.

Definitely....... NO. Don't be tempted to overtighten the exhaust studs. If they are blowing at the head interface, fit new gaskets (rings) part #17 on the attached diagram. https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/5944967/xt1200z-super-tenere/exhaust
