The wheels are 600 miles old from a '23.
The tyres are new, and the discs are brand new.

My discs are warped, and I needed a new set- they're £600 or so.
The tyres are over £400 a set V3 (not the latest V4, but they'll do fine).

I paid £1000, so I get a set of '23 wheels for free. And it makes a change from the dayglow orange ones.

The po bought a set of wheels, put new discs and tyres on them but never used them.

I should be able to get £200+ for my wheels, or I'll keep them so I can have a set of summer tyres and a set of wets available; I can swap them before heading to a weekender or track day depending on the weather.

No-one said it would be a cheap hobby!

Result!

If I'd won the lottery they'd be carbon wheels with ceramic bearings...

Looking cool Tony

It always amazes me how little tread the Supercorsas get away with

Chris.

The fan override switch I fitted to my Tuono last September failed recently, and the switch itself turned out to be the faulty item. But because it was sending a wrong signal the ECU decided to turn off the fans entirely, not just disable the override switch.

That made for an interesting ride!

The dealer I bought it from, P3 Tuning in Liverpool, swapped it straight away and I fitted it today- all back to working as it should.
It's a bit of a faff, though, the airbox needs to be removed to get to the relay, which is buried behind the headstock.

looked at dori. kicked the tyres and thats it ready for MOT on saturday morning.

MOT done for another year…..I quickly checked it over the day before and lucky I did as the front brake light switch had decided to stop working! Fortunately I had a spare one, so fitted that and everything worked as expected.

But it was p1ssing down so bike got all muddy from the single track farm mess and I had to put waterproofs on….well at least it passed.

Only did just over 1000miles on the old girl as the KTM gets all the long haul work these days.

Dug em all out, Frank got a spare bracket out of stock for Mr Chesshyer...

Ripped some bits off Dresden as he's going to the stock pile in the sky...

Huge number plate day means mot time.. have to say they gave it a good going over this year but got my pass ticket.
