Ian, Did you get your bike fixed. Is everything good now,

Are you going to be heading up to the Coles ride at Timithy Lake? If so, I hope to see you there. I think it will be fun having a bunch of 950's around to compare notes and modifications.

Yep, the bike got fixed sort of. It quickly became evident that the wiring loom was on backorder, so I told them to bypass the offending wire (outside the loom) to keep me going. They did this and removed the emmisions stuff at the same time, raising the needle by one slot as well.

Bike goes fine and I absolutely love it. No real offroad yet, but I have a load of stuff coming for that, like Bars, Nobbies,high fender etc, so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Will be doing the Dead zone (in 3 weeks time) and the Coles run on it, so I look forward to catching up with you there, if not before.

Cheers Ian:hb:

what knobbie are you going to use on the rear? I would like to use the TKC80 150/70 - 18, but they seem to be a little hard to get.

Metzeller Karoo's. I think the tck's are probably better all round, but I got a fairly good deal on the Karoo's. Probably much cheaper to source the tck's from the states. Try http://arizonamoto.com.

Hi: I ran a set of Karoo's in Baja in April....put them on at the border and ran about 1,500 miles on and off road....the tires lasted just fine...in fact I made it all the way back to my truck in San Francisco with tread to spare.

The Karoo is the tire the KTM factory delivers with the 950 Enduro so it must be sumpin.....and I figure if your going to be rammy with the throttle it won't matter what tire you use...you can destroy it pretty fast

The TKC is a fine dual purpose tire also...bout 50-50 and you will get better total mileage
