[Arsey]

So... That means that there are more cünts on KTM than BMW

But there’ll always be one **** on a GS

Personally I don't mind the 'thing', even though it seems like you have a disliking to it.
I guess that explains your nick.

Don't worry, I am openminded,. You may enjoy your 'thing' all you like

What is this ‘thing’ you talk of ?

Good job they did.
KTM are already the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in Europe. Just think if all of the cûnts who bought GSs off the back of LWR and LWD had bought KTMs instead.......







(KTM sold 261,000 bikes in 2018 compared to 165,000 by BMW.)

KTM are mainly an off road competition bike manufacturer, whose bikes need servicing every few hundred miles, not good for reliable road use - they were late to the game of road bike manufacture and they are still learning - they’ll get there eventually - and when they get their bikes properly sorted I’ll consider buying one.

There was a recall on the Brembo calipers on my bike.....Front and Rear.

Brembos on front and rear new 1250

 

[Flappytabs]

I dont have a 1250.

The recall was on my Ducati a while ago. according to the service chap Ducati were on the brink of ditching Brembo because of the numerous issues they were having with quality.


Not sure how he knew this but didnt care as I got lots of spangly stuff and a day out on the new V4s for the inconvenience.

Happy days

Ah ok makes it more clear now, where they the same Brembos as on the 1200 GS LC by any chance, or totally different...........

 

[Yox]

They wouldn't be the same ones unless you shared them?

Cost cutting maybe.........

IIRC the KTM road bike range has 9500 mile service schedules

Remind me again what the service schedule mileages are for your new GS ?

With extended warranty, every bloody year even if you do ,s and back............

He doesn’t have a new one as he isn’t confident enough to buy one yet,due to all the issues such as this thread.
But he’ll have to buy a new bike before his warranty is up,as nobody ever keeps a modern GS outside of warranty due to the shocking reliability.

far greater than the mileage i will do on mine

At what year do you reckon modern bikes are not kept anymore, or do you mean the whole LC range...

I’d say since the LC range started.
My 800 looks like new and is 10 years old.But that was before BMW got greedy and enticed in muppets like The Fuse Tester who would have to change their bikes every two,now three years or risk it going pop just outside of warranty.

 

[Flappytabs]

I have always changed my bike with great regularity, the only exceptions to this have been a couple of Speed Triples and my R1 which i have had for about 12 years.

everything else tends to last between 3months and 3 years.......I hate MOTs

So what, that’s just a marketing ploy, as most people will change their bike before a service is due.

I have kept all my GS for at least two years, which was the warranty period up until last year, so you are yet again completely incorrect

I change my bikes because I actually ride them and pile on the miles, rather than just dick about on them like you do.
