Thank you for the video. Explained a lot well for me. Just out of interest, how has the SSB battery gone over the long term? Still start well now in cold conditions?
Drivability definitely improved. Also feels like more torque earlier in the rpm. Mated with the exhaust changes though, haven't tried with stock system.
@@DriveOnLeft nice. I found a Monty exhaust recently and put it on my 3.2. Your video helped me pull the trigger on that pipe. You located in Melbourne?
I was in Melbourne in February. I drove to Torquay along the Great Ocean Rd. Absolutely gorgeous! I saw a beautiful guards red 911 as I was leaving Melbourne that morning. Chance that either of you have seen it or know who it is? I was in a rental, but missing my ‘84 3.2! Would have been a perfect drive!
Just a tip - we usually make such measurements with A-weighting on (so it responds a lot like our ears.) I suspect your reductions seem greater in number than it sounds because it was measured in dB not dBA.
Yep, realizing how light my 22 FE 501 was, I went further and set it up for hard enduro. With all the crap removed it weighed 106.6kg. They have achieved a very low center of gravity, particularly the 'lowered' 21-23 models. People need to ride a well set up bike to believe it. Oh, and buyers, don't be put off by the 'inertia' crap...one can sling these in and out of sharp corners as good as most could wish for!!
😂😂I have a problem with my right hand...LOL...so on my 950 Adventure S, 9-13L/100km. No backpack, no luggage, no highway...just RPM and GAS...lots of GAS....
Thank you kindly for sharing this. I had mounted a little stubby windshield, and 3d printed a little spacer to mount it to. But I will be reconfiguring, as it wasn't upright enough. I will see if I can incorporate some elements from your design, as I want to go with a little bit bigger diy windshield. I had printed a small box to hold my electronics and connections. Zip tied it above the wiring harness. I had also cut out some of the number plate to fit the box. But with a more upright windshield that was likely not necessary. But something died recently (while powering up my cheapo heated grips), so now is time for a rebuild. My gps was powered from this box, via a delay off relay. It held the power for 10 minutes, so It wouldn't loose the gps signal when I stalled, or stopped for gas. The heated grips were switched independently. Cheers.
Great tips. I have motion pro tire leavers cable tied to frame like your levers. Spare tube(s) between bashplate and engine. Patches for tube under the seat. All tools inside that little WR250R toolbox with some cable ties. Gorilla tape, small bottle of visor cleaner, and small microfiber towel in the air box (all inside a little waterproof plastic bag).
I had one of the 1984 models in red. Fantastic bike! Sold with 63,000 trouble free kilometres on it. I think Acerbis made a 23 litre fuel tank for them, too.
KTM moved Husky/KTM production to China. Its increasingly hard to import China batteries to other countries due to regulatory issues. Thus, they put a crappy battery in the bike to comply. LiPo batteries do not charge below 35f degrees. They need a heater in the battery to function below 25f degrees. Yes, you can be riding in the cold and your battery is not using the alternator to recharge... All depends on the air temp. Expensive LiPo batteries have built in heaters. The heater actually consumes power, from the battery itself...Causing other starting issues. Getting a better battery is the way to go. My peers just dont ride in the cold... KTM/Husky riders miss more ride days....
The condition of your SE is ridiculous! Such a diamond , I'm green . Would love to own one but one of those in that condition here in the USA is approaching $20k . The 990 adventure is much more attainable but I have to settle for my little 450 exc-r for now. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks!
Wow ! Dude is out riding a KTM SE totally broke. Go to work man so you dont have to order fake aftermarket parts from China and swap your one steering damper between 2 bikes. Work first bro , play second. Priorities!
