Re: what have you done to your bike today??
For a while now started to have battery issues and decided to get a new battery. It hold OK for a couple of months but then started to have difficulty starting the bike again. Decided to check the voltage with the bike running and the voltimeter wouldn't read more than 13 then. Decided then to get a new stator. Very easy job, just take cover out, remove old gasket and put new one, replace stator and get all together again! Battery problem solved

Re: what have you done to your bike today??
this is the ram x grip large as I have a s7 and it fits great , I was concerned at first that I would see my phone disappear behind me on a lane or in the wind but this thing grips very well and I can say that my phone will still be there after my ride , also when I want quick sat nav directions it flips into landscape mode easy , the sled has a usb point under the seat so I run a cable up and can keep the phone topped up or charge my go-pro batteriesi can recommend RAM XGRIP,

Split the casing on the ktm 640 to find the horrors inside
and this is what a ktm 640 looks like tucked under your workbench waiting to be fixed
Needs all new bearings .. as there seems to be alot of grind going on in the bearings and can only assume they have alot of the shards of this lot in it
Also needs new piston rebore nikasil coating new piston and the con rod needs renewing as it as a few milimeters of play upwards .and this is what a ktm 640 looks like tucked under your workbench waiting to be fixed
All things built not bought . The only way is adventure .
