I agree with Wonky. Personally you can normally tell if it's been well maintained and not just polished.

ABS brakes are shit though and my oil pressure switched failed last year at 12000 miles. £406 or so to replace it !

You my friend had your pants down, that is an absolute max £50 job including parts for any dealer. And as Bob said £7 and half hours work if you can use a spanner.

Unless you're looking at my shonky looking 60,000 miler Allan, Looks like its been through a hedge backwards, in fact it has,forwards and upside down a fair few times as well. However it wants for absolutely nothing mechanically with every single service fully completed and documented.

You cant always judge a book by its cover.

It's amazing how you can misread something, oil pressure switch £4.95 from Dingbro? Remove all of the airbox etc to properly access the oil pressure switch and give the engine a check over and service while I'm stripping it down.
While it's stripped down install the Rottweiler kit, snap out bracket, and storage box. https://www.zenoverland.com/ktm_950-adv ... e_ktm.html
Best mod I've done to it.

Well picked mine up today. Superb bit of kit. Very snatchy and surges at low speed though. Might see if remapping will help a bit.

Check out Hall Of Wisdom too for advice
