Bikers!?

Neee fok, sies. That should be a sin.

Motul chain cleaner, motul racing/road lube. a lot of people say wax is better than lube, but I personally like the racing lube.
I hate hearing a chain while riding, and its a lot quieter than the others I have tried.

Let me tell it to you, like it was told to me;

You can buy any brand of consumables for your bike, as long as its motul. :p
90% of the bikers I have met, swear by Motul, and I agree with them.

Edit for links;
Chain cleaner
Factory line racing lube
Road lube

I normally pay R500 for a can of cleaner and a can of lube (moto mate rivonia or Custom Creations krugersdorp). And I buy 2 of each at a time, then I am good for a year depending on the KMS I do.
as a guy that has used both wax and traditional lube over the past 2 years, and has a KTM with orange rims, let me tell you.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A NON SPLATTER LUBE! at enough rpm everything throws a tantrum and makes your orange look like a speckled egg.
But yea, I exclusively use motul raceline chain lube and I love the stuff, the motul chain cleaner cleans it off like sunlight does a dirty plate, honestly the chain cleaner is one of the best degreasers I have ever seen. EDIT: I usually just put some on a microfibre cloth and wipe my rims with it, it comes out looking brand new!

BUT, motul also have a rim cleaner, that stuff is SUPER awesome, spray on, leave for 2 minutes, and wash your bike as usual....

Told you im a motul whore :p
 
Show the ktm!

You didn't get the optional colour changing rims on the KTM?
When I bought one brand new years ago, I didn't know it had colour changing rims.

The KTM racing orange but after two weeks they changed to brown.
 
I messed up, i got a tricky parking spot for my bike.
I have to do many point turns to get it in the right spot so any ways i accidentally scratched my exhaust on some face brick and now there's a line scratch, its not to deep but my heart hurts , what to do to fix it?

And to think, I even packed up your chair for you.....
 
Oh nooooo! :( I would use a permanent marker and colour the scratches in until you can justify having that piece powder coated or till you get a new slip on... What bike is that bud?
Thats good idea! I gonna try a permanent marker! Its a Rc390 so I'm not gonna waste money on a slipon, slipon doesn't make it rawr.
Gonna use that money on more fancy gear!

Ohhh. In that case, remove exhaust, tape of the silver cap, sand the barrel a bit and spray with some matt high heat black enamel paint. Good as new for R300 and a Sunday morning's worth of effort. Or colour in with permanent marker. :D
 
Basically the only thing that makes going to gym worth it is riding there and back! Change my mind….

So much want. This is the ONLY bike that gives me the same tingles as the Streetfighter. Test rode one not too long ago and the want has only increased

You won't be disappointed. The new hoonigan machine from Triumph is also a great option. Loads of options currently in that segment.

Isn't the new 1200RS underpowered?
I haven't test ridden one, so I'm basing the question off of comments I heard.

O HELL NO! Its amazing bike, smooth but fuck fast! Very torquey! If you read my article in Moto rider world you will see i say, i paid for my ktm what the RS is new. And buyers remorse is stupid real.

I know it sounds daft, but while both the speed and street triple were absolutely amazing to ride, I can't wrap my head around the front design choices. It just doesn't give me that Ron Swanson giggle that the KTM does

I get you. Aesthetics definitely plays a large part in the enjoyment of a motorcycle. And a woman.

Livin' my best boomer life

Also, which pipe is that? From this angle looks like it's sitting a bit too low to be the stock or Akrapovic
 
Its a arrow, got it with the bike, does not sound too bad... on delivery inspection we also found a rapid bike race system under the seat :devilish:
