Bought a few bits for the ktm.
Pair of indicators from later model (look better than earlier ones)
Clutch cover (original had signs of corrosion from winter riding)
Graphite seal for exhaust (need changing annually, riding into manchester with a bike that sounds like its opening fire on overrun is not ideal, someone will shoot back one day!)

Whats surprising is how cheap ktm oem parts can be (some at least).
Genuine indicator (complete) £12

Clutch cover casing £42.

Spent 2hrs trying to get the bandit started with no result but a flat battery and some serious shotgun backfires, so went in had my tea and a beer and then eureka it hit me. ...... Only had the HT coils on back to front. DOH !!

Re-aligned the back wheel on the [JAPANESE OGRE] as it was way out (was delivered to me like that it seems) it cured the high speed wobble it had though :)
Ordered some new bars for it too and got one of the new tyres.delivered

Saw a lad last year on a minimito with a little 3 or 4 year old girl on the tank, caning it thro dunwood park at Shaw, proper mossy uneven bad cambered path. Neither wearing helmets and no thought for pedestrians either. Dickheads aren't they.
