tell me about your 1190

[Rob J]

Fitted bar risers today (courtesy of Rob J) and for a tweek so subtle, it's made a really good improvement.

glad they did the trick Giles.

I'm sure the Pyramid ones I've seen are only gloss??? Time to look again.................


EDIT - Davy, yours is for the Std 1190 - Pyramaid don't do one for the R (different radius on the guard 'cos of the 21" wheel)
Andres

Another little heads up with those with an 'R' - I took a punt on the Pyramid extender which they say doesn't fit and...........it does............and it's also the same finish as the original mudguard

Bit of indulgence really but why I've always bought 2nd hand up until now.

i'm just going to slacken the fixing bolts on mine. dab of loctite - job done

my 1190 seems to have developed a typical trail attack weave when slowing down from 40mph, no hands on the bars.


suppose i'd better hang on then

Mine did something like that this morning on the way into work - a flattened drinks bottle got blown by a gust of wind under my front wheel - proper woke me up that did!

Sooooo................. I've never had Trail Attacks before, how many miles before I have to start holding onto the bars?

i've had several pairs, and this is the first one that's done it. 2600 miles.

plenty of anecdotal evidence on this site though.

 

[Deleted account 211025001]

A thousand miles to go then...............watch this spot

So far, I have to say, I'm very impressed with the tyres - cold, wet, warm or dry they seem to be very predictable and, well, do what they should I guess.

of course, i haven't checked the tyre pressures since, um, ever, so might have a look at that


that's what TPS is for innit


now i come to think of it, i did think it was dropping into corners a bit when i first got on it this morning. thought i just wasn't used to it, as i hadn't ridden it for a couple of months

Here you go Giles, as requested.....................








Just prior to fitting them I lowered the gear lever one 'notch' - ideally it'd be perfect at 1/2 a 'notch' IYSWIM but with the Pivot Pegz it's now spot on as I guess the fact the peg moves makes the lever position less important. Anyway, done a hundred miles or so since fitting and, as ever, I'm very pleased with them. They also make standing on the pegs and changing gear as you enter Tesco's carpark much easier
Oh, and they're lovely and shiny

Andres

 

[Giles]

Aha. Very good, and certainly shiny. I completely agree about the placement of the gear lever. (size 11 boots here). I've been looking for an adjustable lever but nobody seems to make one - I could do with a 'half' notch worth of movement to get it perfect and I guess the movement of the pegs could solve this.

Not sure you should have the bike on the front room on the carpet though ....

 

[Giles]

heh heh heh .....

 

[bowser]

cant give an opinion on the 1190 but have the pivot pegz on the 990 and love them to bits, one of the best farkles I have ever bought.

heh heh heh .....

Nice pegs, shame about the cheap gin!

Was it pressures in the end? I've gotta say the front on mine seems to keep pressure ok but the rear tyre needs a few pounds bunging in on pretty much a weekly basis making me wonder how air tight KTMs tubeless spoked wheels are?
