Is this the big seven oh , if so remember that they said you'd never make it and where are they, haha. Best wishes.

I don't imagine that I'll be doing much to stress the brakes around here but thanks for the tip.

Was yours an ADV ? My fuel consumption never changed, it was 17km a liter or 6l/100 if you prefer it that way around. Speaking of 950's I found this in my YouTube feed, very interesting video for 950 fanciers.

None that would fit my bike, there are Kwaka, Honda etc but no actual KTM ones and the prices are outrageous when you include postage, anyway the ones that I have are going back in so we are trying to find a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

Remove the tank shrouds and the plastic covers that are either side of the radiator, and unscrew the large tank bolt at the rear of the tank (I'm sure your already there). Underneath the left hand rad plastic cover there is the horn, and a couple of plastic electrical connectors. The horn and one of the electrical connectors (can't remember which one) needs to be disconnected. Shut off the fuel tap valves that are at the front lower part of the tank, both sides, they look like small (10mm dia) silver valves. Disconnect the fuel lines from both sides. The fuel pump is attached to the left hand side inner surface of the tank. You could either disconnect the lines that run to and from the pump (=faff!) or pull the fuel pump from the tank (easy). You need to pull it towards the right hand side of the bike. The pump is mounted in a large rubber block, which has 2 slots in it. These 2 slots fit over 2 metal tongs. Its quite a tight fit and takes a bit of effort to remove, helps to have one person lift the tank and the other work at uncoupling the fuel pump, but you can lift the tank and rest it in a lifted position to give you more room to work on the pump. Once the pump is disco'd the tank should lift off. Its a bastard of a job and the bike seemed to be running just fine, due to the age of the rubbers I think it took two of us about 30 minutes to get it off, anyway it doesn't matter now and I look forward to the enhanced performance from the new filter and cans.

I have some.

This is my cat, Pepe, he was so tired that he fell asleep halfway around the corner.

You, me and Tango, any other real men on the forum ?

Thanks for the input, my pistons measure 34 but the Brembo site only mentions 40's, anyway it doesn't matter because these ones are going back in, cheers.

Went out to photograph the dawn and there were a couple of roos at the end of the street, it doesn't get much more Australian than that.

Not sure what you mean by all the problems, the only problem has been the brakes and they're under control, the suspension needed to be done anyway as did the air filter, the new cans were just because and anyway the standard ones were getting to hard to clean, weighed lots and the new ones look better, weigh less and sound great. The important thing is that the engine has been running recently so the carbs are clear, when I knew that I wasn't going to be using it for some time I let it idle until it stopped from a lack of petrol so that was a good idea I think. I did eff about trying to zinc plate the engine bolts but then I found the S/S kit so that was that, on my to do list now is tidy up the radiator and refill it, install the new plugs and put the bits back on and then it should fire up and be ready for the road. So its not that far away, it will soon be entered in topbox of the month.

They've done 43,000 k so far so they're staying, for the cost of getting S/S turned out here I could probably buy a new bike.

I have come to the conclusion that those marks and the ring of dirt have come from the piston being extended under braking, that being the case they will only affect the dust seal and not the main brake fluid seal so they should be good to use. The local Brembo site only has bits for KTM fittings back to 2009 so mine aren't there.

Marcel, attention.

So here are the photos of the pistons and calipers, the little marks are baffling me as they have never been out before and they weren't dropped when I removed them. You can see a build up of matter around the pad ends but that scrapes off with a fingernail, maybe a light sand will sort them out, they aren't at a crititcal spot and the seals look OK so I think I'll reassemble them and see if they leak. I'll be doing the other side ones soon, the air gun I used didn't have a rubber sealing tip so I may try and use a rubber glove with a pinhole in it or something, until I get to see the condition of those pistons I'll bide my time.

I've just been searching for the model number of them, do you know how many calipers they make, effing hundreds and they all have tiny differences, nevertheless I have managed to get four of the pistons out from the passive side of the units and will be updating my tale soon. Cheers.

You're not just a pretty face are you, here's the YouTube of the exact one being rebuilt but sadly its on an MV so I don't think that I'll like the prices.

Brembos.

Trimmed it for you.

There are differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and other nuances, but essentially the official Spanish in Mexico is the same as the Spanish in Spain and throughout most of the world. It has a distinctly Mexican flavor to it today, of course, but it hardly counts as a separate dialect or language on its own.

Isn't that an electric bike in which case it does have a motor, all the other entries are therefore disqualified because they have engines.
