Genuine ktm.Nice one Mikey, looks like you were just in time with the cam followers
What make of gaskets set are you using?
I'm interested in what you've decided as I'm tearing mine down for a new piston etc this winter.
Camshaft is fine,No 58,
Prolly just the camera, but that cam looks as if it has two bands of pitting round it ??
Genuine ktm.
They do a full gasket set that includes absolutely everything,about £160.
But it is everything
(Includes coolant pump seals)
Yep, that figures and it's what I'll use.
Managed to a get a new OEM piston for £80 recently
Around 35k of hard riding but I have the fcr carb which may give the piston crown a harder time.
I use the bike almost exclusively for bigish trips so always needs to be 100% reliable oh and I'm being inquisitive
Water pump and cam followers were changed a while ago but will also be renewed again. New sprag clutch earlier this year as a precaution.
Another precautionary thing is to strip the starter motor and give the brushes a once overMany thanks for the feed back Tim, I've just been to Spain (Pyrenees) on my 640A bike was faultless and once on the trails and tracks it all makes sense. My 07 with just 6K miles was checked over by Mikeyboy prior to leaving, top end was okay but as precaution Mike fitted new water pump shaft and seal. My bike has standard carb but I do have an FCR in stock.

When Andys bike was in the workshop the starter packed up,a quick strip down revealed stuck brushes.
An inoperative starter would be a right pain in the butt on the trails
