Off Topic / Obnoxious Dogs
« on: January 24, 2017, 05:31:22 pm »
Anyone annoyed by the barking of neighborhood dogs? The situation is ridiculous in this neighborhood. I can recognize the bark of nine dogs within a 200 yard radius.

One neighbor actually told me his dog had a right to bark. Eased into letting him know that he or his dog doesn't have a right to prevent others from enjoying their property--something that has evolved from common laws.

This belief of dogs being able to freely bark seems to be rampant everywhere.

Thoughts?

Suspension / Shock Spring Spanner Wrench
« on: January 02, 2017, 06:58:55 pm »
Looking for a strong narrow version that will work with the shock in place for increasing and decreasing preload. Either direction, the tank still looks like it has to be raised.

I have a few here, and the Motion Pro spanner accommodated a removing of preload, but not increasing preload until I darn-near removed the shock. If nothing else, maybe a few minutes at the grinder will help.

Maybe the one in the tool kit if the wrench portions were cut off.

Introductions / Hey there from middle TN!
« on: December 28, 2016, 08:37:27 am »
Yesterday, I brought home my first KTM and a new 690. Have been riding since I was 13--some 40+ years ago.  ;D First new bike was a 1975 Honda MT-125 for which I paid $515! What difference 40 years makes in technology and prices.

Have been adjusting the controls and applying blue Loctite to various fasteners. (something I learned from my KLX650C). Still formulating a plan for getting this bike to squat, and will most likely see what I can do with spring preloads. The seat height on my previous WR400F was higher, and I was able to make that work for me. Hoping for similar results.

See you folks around the area!
