It's going to early next year, gone into a local garage in Chard who has good KTM knowledge - it's only a once over.

I have asked him to fit chain & sprockets, new tyres, new rear fat bas**d spring. That way the wife doesn't see what I'm spending on it!!!!wink He is very honest and has matched all web prices.

Touching wood before the service, touching cloth after it.  Sorry, couldn't resist it, I like using the old "cloth" phrase.  I'll get me coat.....

Chain and sprockets never arrived in time, will do them next weekend.

Valves - slight adjustment needed on the inlet valve (170hrs)

Suspension - just needed setting up for me.

Brake light - loose connection.

And the bill? Sod all!!!smile
