    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    Without seeing it in the flesh and going through it, I'm afraid not. I will say one thing though, that it is a big gamble to not strip the bottom end. It definitely looks like there was a drop in oil pressure or possibly even a lack of oil there. To determine which it was and what caused it...

    Learning how to wheelie ("Wheelie school")

    Shjoe.. As I say, I'm no expert.. But I do have a lot of experience. I also have the scars to verify the experience that I have. Please be careful with that speed and a drunk motorbike. Get it higher and slower. And try relaxing and leaning further back. Pulling yourself closer to the bars has...

    Learning how to wheelie ("Wheelie school")

    Ha ha ha.. You Afrikaners just have a really special way with words.. The one beauty of your language is that if you understand what is being said, you also have not the faintest doubt, exactly where you stand. "N pot kak".. Is there a way to word that better!? I highly doubt it.. 😜😂

    Learning how to wheelie ("Wheelie school")

    I battled with a new 85 Suzuki 500 doing that. What can only be described as a "rear wheel weave" Swingarm bearings, tyres, wheel bearings, I don't even remember what all was checked and replaced just as a matter of "incase". Nothing changed.. And then just one day, it stopped doing it...

    Learning how to wheelie ("Wheelie school")

    One more thing. The guys who have videos on YouTube doing stunts, have been doing it for years. Admire their abilities and aspire to do what they do, how they do it. But now, you're a novice. Realise that. Baby steps and now and again, leave your comfort zone to learn something new and push...

    Learning how to wheelie ("Wheelie school")

    I was lured to this thread by my dear friend @JustBendIt. Thanks for that Justin. I learned to wheelie almost dead on forty years ago. Yes, I turned sixty the other day. I think the main contributing factor was my absolute obsession with it. I would actually dream about wheelying very often...

    My 990 - General questions, learning and experience

    I don't get what you're asking for.. 950 suspension to swap for an S suspension because the guy is short..! Which S suspension are you asking about..? And there are different 950 suspensions.
