boboneleg Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The water pump seal is a common failure on this bike, KTM brought out a better seal from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago But I did get a few compliments for some older guys...Frank the salesman and and older dude from the service department has they only ones they've seen were mostly all trashed by now...most of these bikes were ridden hard off road..and not really looked after cosmeticly..the paint on this thing looks almost showroom new...lol.

Not sure exactly what this one has into it...it will be the third time that it's service...im keeping a close eye on the coolant overflow tank for now if I notice any level changes it will be parked...

To be considered half and expert on this antic bike is actually a compliment now...lol I've come to the conclusion that people who use to be knowledgeable about these bikes are now retired or have moved on to another life...90% of the staff were either not born or babies when this bike was around.. My bike is coming along fine, unlike your bodge job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
