We bought this KTM 950 Adventure that has been sitting for 10 years. Will it run? did we get a good deal? Watch the video and decide for yourself. Thanks, Crusty

The side stand is a relocate kit because the stock mounting is on the engine case which can be cracked it you’re not careful. The centre stand is stock.

Nice! I’m betting you’re probably right about those carburetors, they are gonna need a little love after sitting for 10 years.

You can adjust the steering stops to stop the handle bars from hitting the windshield

Thanks.Yes, we got that figured out. It took a minute, though. We ended up putting on that solid fiberglass windshield.

if you're looking to get rid of that fibreglass windshield, i'd be more than happy taking it. been on the lookout for one in that shape for a while now

@@CrustyCycle9317 just a bit of a different shape with the lip on it. it's said to help a bit with wind buffeting. but I mainly like the look of it and because of the lip my nav setup could/would fit a bit better

30k is low miles on a 950. I have a 2010 990, they're great bikes.

Thanks for the reassurance. It seems to be doing fine so far. It's a super fun bike to ride and very capable.

Clean the carbs, change the waterpump

It's been running good so far, didn't change the water pump though.

@@CrustyCycle9317 Just keep an eye on the coolant levels, and the oil pressure light. If the coolant levels fluctuate and the OP light flickers the water pump seals have gone. It's relatively easy to do the change; the Orange Crush HoW has all the info you need.

Triumph Trailblazer in the background?

Yes, that's right. I bought that at a vintage swap meet in Tenino, WA. It's original and complete, but I've never even tried to start it. Someday...

@@CrustyCycle9317 Quite a find...can make a decent little bike. (there was a BSA version too and all were made in the BAS factory, but I think they all got rebadged as Triumph for the US after BSA went bust).The last attempt by the British to counter the Japanese in that sector (an important one in the UK market because back then a 250 was as big as you could go without taking a test). Good luck with it!

Yeah, a screamin deal. But I had to buy it and that 750 Honda as non-running motorcycles, sitting for 10 years. They both ended up running good, and I sold the Honda for 1250. The 950 has 36k miles.
