2nd bike has arrived. Been out for x3 seperate hours. I always come back knackered. Today i went out and tried some routes over the south downs. Managed to get 73mph on a road section and then experienced a tank slapper! That woke me up! Also towards the end i was kicking it down the box to slow down and then it would cut out. Couldn't work it out to begin with as it was a bugger to restart - thought i had flooded it! In the end i figured out what it is. The fuel feeds from the back of the tank. I was low on fuel and as i was slowing down rapidly i was starving the bike of fuel! I am pampered on the GS as it has gear indicator and a fuel guage. No luxuries on the KTM! Also learning how to deal with chalk paths, tree routes and the bank end stepping out.
