Clutch failure

Post Image

The clutch has failed on my 950 Supermoto. Pressure just drains away as you operate the clutch. My guess is a slave cylinder leaking into the gearbox, a fault my 640 suffered… Well done the AA.

KTM RC8 launch and 990 Superduke demo

Post Image

Today Premier Bikes unveiled the fabulous new RC8: a good day to be in for a service. The RC8 is simply gorgeous. The crowd seemed divided, with some girlfriends expressing a preference for something perhaps less orange and expensive. I want to build a reinforced shelf in the lounge… The team were kind enough to offer a 990 Superduke demonstration while I waited: A tremendous piece of kit: super light and small, yet spacious enough for my 6 foot form.

KTM baffles fitted

The standard Akrapovic baffles arrived today: fitted over lunch. Still sounds great, just rather more polite. I don’t know why anyone would cut them down if they knew what to expect. So, top tip: do not cut down your Akrapovic baffles. It’s pointless and rude.

On the one hand, I have to spend three hours a day commuting, but on the other, I get to spend three hours a day on a KTM 950 Supermoto. Brilliant 😀
