Thank you for your video and mentioning something usually no one cares to report on. Despite my appreciation for loud exhausts I don't want to harass the public and damage my hearing. Do you mind letting me know if you had ringing in your ears using ear plugs? I looking for buying an aftermarket slip on for my GasGas SM 700 and now thinking about hearing loss twice. Thank you in advance

I was in Melbourne in February. I drove to Torquay along the Great Ocean Rd. Absolutely gorgeous! I saw a beautiful guards red 911 as I was leaving Melbourne that morning. Chance that either of you have seen it or know who it is? I was in a rental, but missing my ‘84 3.2! Would have been a perfect drive!

Just a tip - we usually make such measurements with A-weighting on (so it responds a lot like our ears.) I suspect your reductions seem greater in number than it sounds because it was measured in dB not dBA.

Yep, realizing how light my 22 FE 501 was, I went further and set it up for hard enduro. With all the crap removed it weighed 106.6kg. They have achieved a very low center of gravity, particularly the 'lowered' 21-23 models. People need to ride a well set up bike to believe it. Oh, and buyers, don't be put off by the 'inertia' crap...one can sling these in and out of sharp corners as good as most could wish for!!

Thank you kindly for sharing this. I had mounted a little stubby windshield, and 3d printed a little spacer to mount it to. But I will be reconfiguring, as it wasn't upright enough. I will see if I can incorporate some elements from your design, as I want to go with a little bit bigger diy windshield. I had printed a small box to hold my electronics and connections. Zip tied it above the wiring harness. I had also cut out some of the number plate to fit the box. But with a more upright windshield that was likely not necessary. But something died recently (while powering up my cheapo heated grips), so now is time for a rebuild. My gps was powered from this box, via a delay off relay. It held the power for 10 minutes, so It wouldn't loose the gps signal when I stalled, or stopped for gas. The heated grips were switched independently. Cheers.

KTM moved Husky/KTM production to China. Its increasingly hard to import China batteries to other countries due to regulatory issues. Thus, they put a crappy battery in the bike to comply. LiPo batteries do not charge below 35f degrees. They need a heater in the battery to function below 25f degrees. Yes, you can be riding in the cold and your battery is not using the alternator to recharge... All depends on the air temp. Expensive LiPo batteries have built in heaters. The heater actually consumes power, from the battery itself...Causing other starting issues. Getting a better battery is the way to go. My peers just dont ride in the cold... KTM/Husky riders miss more ride days....
