That sounds good Steve, a little advice on most of the above would be very welcome.

PS. I do have a pair of KTM handguards which do fit the Tenere with the bar end weights. I will bring them along. Anybody want a brand new plastic bash plate?:047:

Cheers Steve.

I agree with l8ktm, any advice is always welcome and in my case usually necessary!

I for one am more than prepared to give a demonstration of how to remove the back tyre, for instance!:laughing1:



Simple things like oil level check, chain tension. Might sound simple but some of the guys still are not quite sure and it will be a good opportunity to address these issues.

How to make up a relay for auxiliary power, how to change break pads.

Just a few ideas.

See you guys soon. Cheers Steve

I'd be interested in looking at relay & fuse box options. My battery terminals are looking a bit crowded!
I've never really tampered with suspension either.

Anyone travelling from the East Midlands (Nottingham) on Friday early afternoon?

Cheers.

Ok, that's good to get some feedback.

My plan at the moment is to go to the bunkhouse this Thursday evening as I'm getting the ferry over to Ireland Friday morning to meet up with some mates and see some racing. I will stay over until Tuesday afternoon and then get the ferry back and again stay at the bunkhouse. I will then have a go at a route for the rideout. I do have some good ideas for roads and tea / pee stops etc and hope to get a route of about 100 miles. This will be in and around the Snowdonia National Park.
I know time is getting on but if anyone has a particular road that they can recommend then could you either pm me or reply here and I'll have a go at incorporating it. All ideas are good.
I will stay until Thursday so I should have enough time to do something interesting. Nothing is set in stone and the route can be changed as we, as a group feel appropriate.

PS I will be bringing along a set of KTM handguards that do fit the Ten (with standard handlebar weights) and an MTC single side silencer,matt black, brackets and link pipe, for the hard of hearing!
Open to offers!

Cheers Steve

If anyone on the Wales meet wants to swap for a few hours, I'd like to try an uprated rear shock in return for my 51bhp hooligan. That'd be fun!

Looking forward to checking out everyone's tool kit, and general kit list. I like stuff.

Wales is my final test before I head off for three months round Europe so it'll be fun to see what I've missed.

Not long now, can't wait!
