I was till March this year my friend. Back home in Monaghan now, only reason I could get insured is cause the bikes stored in a Garage so I'll be staying here

Be hard to miss that yoke around. Never really looked at KTMs much till I got talking to a lad in work here with a Super Duke. Then I started looking. And walked down to dealership. Now I want one....

Well wear anyhow

There's a nice twisty road from Cootehill to Ballybay if you're looking for a small route

Going there today with a friend.

goblin59 · 22-11-2020 04:59PM

Here it is in its current state.
I'm off to a place tomorrow to see about bead blasting and powder coating the frame and a few other bits.

I might have done that during the summer, I took the back roads to Cootehill before.

Heading to Monaghan on Wednesday, registering a German import to a southern reg.

Yup that's a 202 Reg. I changed it from my previous 2015 CB500F.

I am a sucker for a Honda CB..Before that it was a CBF250! :pac:

I've seen a CB300R in the work car park a few times, lovely little bike.

Cleaned out the back of my garage over the weekend and found this. Roll on the good weather...

batman_oh · 01-12-2020 12:35PM

Snapped this up last week - always regretted selling the previous one and they are getting even more rare in good condition now. Full Akra system and 4k miles - it was stored in a heated garage for 8 years!

Wheelie machines them 990s are.
Happy Riding.

Interceptor · 01-12-2020 02:31PM

I still regret selling my 990sm back in 2013 - well done finding such a clean one!

H_Lime · 01-12-2020 03:49PM

Looks like fun!!

Yeah there really isn't anything like them. I've had a few goes of a hypermotard 950sp recently and it's flash but just doesn't work as well on the back roads that I want this for.

Japcati2020 · 01-12-2020 08:28PM

Only 1 way to ride a 990sm.....;)

Japcati2020 · 01-12-2020 08:29PM

Make sure you upgrade the water pump impellor,do the water pump shaft,seal and bearing,and fit a low temp fan switch too.

I'm seriously thinking of getting the one in City Spares. Seems like a good deal.

Japcati2020 · 02-12-2020 08:45AM

Oh and do the 0.5mm clutch oil jet mod too.
Makes a huge difference.

H_Lime · 02-12-2020 09:12AM

No second to first and first to second anymore. Same on rotax.

Japcati2020 · 02-12-2020 09:18AM

You can buy the 0.5mm oil jet from zen overlanders on ebay for a fiver,or bring the existing 1 to a watch repair shop and ask them to drill it out to 0.5mm.
I went with the Ebay option and bought 2 of them.

On the rotax you get one shot with a good screw driver or you mangle it. Tis sunken in the casting bout 2 inch down on mine. About 30% of fellas who went at it wrecked it and left as is:eek:

That's the same on the LC8 engines.
Pain in the hole,but bit of time,a flathead and a bit of tube does a great job.
Slow and steady with the screwdriver too.
