So, I sold my KTM and bought something a bit more sedate. 
Of course, I paid too much for it - I always do
. (Need some cash in a hurry? Add a few hundred quid to the market value of whatever bike you happen to have in your garage and then offer it to me. Job's a good 'un.... 
)
It needed a thorough service and a new chain, plus some higher bars and spacers for my gangly frame. The rear suspension link also got some new bearings and a good clean up. (If you ever get one, Totally TTRs is the place to get bits from.)
Took it for a spin this afternoon and it's a cracking little green laning bimble bike.
Some adjustments and updates are needed. The suspension seems very hard - time to revisit the settings. I don't like the enormous droopy-draws rear indicators, so some thinking is needed on replacements. I could do with lowering the footpegs if there's a solution out there somewhere. And it needs a tail pack - my Kriega is too long and you can't get the original Yamaha bags anymore. But that's all for the future...
Happy days!
