If you only buy one thing for it before an enduro, go for a set of wrap around handguards. Busting a lever miles from parc ferme is a pain in the arse.

 

I've had them on every bike I've owned and so far, I've only ever broke one lever since and it was bad enough to break the handguard too

 

MD racing have got some UFO ones on offer at the mo at £13 instead of £44

 

But like Geoff said, a sump guard's not a bad idea either.

 

Geoff, I remember reading something about the WR 426's having a throttle stop on the side of the carb that didn't let it open as far as the YZ one. It was in an american mag so don't know if it applied to the UK spec ones too? Apparently if you modified the stop it made a bit more top end.

 

That's right mate, & it's job done on the mod. it's quite an eager bike once into the mid range:biggrin:

 

Your advice about the handguards is spot on

Nice one - so when you taking it racing?

 

We're at a two day vintage event in Northumberland this coming weekend - Hare and Hounds on the Saturday afternoon and timecard on the Sunday.

 

KTM's coming together nicely - managed to get hold of an original front mudguard and headlight for it as well as a proper EXC subframe and mudguard. Even managed to get the forks working something like now too.

 

Well looking forward to it as haven't ridden it properly since June.

Thinking of going back to a Triumph.

Hoping to go try out a Bonneville America and a Speedmaster today.

Anyone owned one of these?

My mate has a bonnie, its a nice bike, his one is basic & not blinged up & makes a really nice easy fun bike to ride.

Found an old pic of my cr500, I'm lusting after another one of these, but they seem to be fetching strong prices nowadays.

You can probably do that on my Ducati Hypermotard. Only £5k.
