[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 118272, member: 21"] Parts? People are afraid that it will be like KTM of 15 years ago. Not that I've needed much, but from what I can tell there is really no issue with availability. They will fly over anything from Italy that they don't have in Paso Robles. Heck sales went up some this year and they air shipped entire bikes. You must not point your bike at the same obstacles that I do. I had issues with 14/45. I went to 13/48 for the tech stuff. Giant improvement. I put the 14 back on for less technical riding. With the central sprocket bolt, it's not nearly as easy to swap as the XR. The torque on that bolt is real high and I plan on only reusing it 4 times or so. After my 6hr45 minute seat time ride my ass and the rest of my body were not on speaking terms. I think I rode the last 70 miles back from Cal City standing the whole way. My bike came with MT21's and even that front sticks so good it amazes me. Yes, even in the sand. I've got those oil seeps and at least one more from the kickstarter I think. It really doesn't bother me as much as I though it would. I'm about to do the valve check and I'll try a new gasket. My battery is a joke. Still got the original, but it will not start the bike anymore if it's in gear. I can start it with the kick starter in gear. I think that I'll go with one of the lithium batteries. I'll get that filter for the vents. [/QUOTE]
