Pre-ride Checks - Workshop Wisdom: Episode 1 | BikeSocial

[@TheDervMan]

Good stuff 👍🏻

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

you have an rc8 as a daily?

[@macmasters1163]

Yes Daniel, I do, or at least I did. It snapped an inlet valve on the rear cylinder a couple of weeks ago. It's on the bench now and I'm going to start the repair tomorrow. It's a brilliant bike, fast and comfortable even on long trips. The story will be on Bike Social later this year, complete with photos of the wrecked bits.

Engine oil should be warm before checking the level on my bikes. Different for a KTM?

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

Bobby Backmarker different on every bike, some also want the bime to be on the side stand instead of being straight

[@macmasters1163]

Strictly speaking Bobby you are right, and no, it's not different for a KTM (ho ho). In practice I have found that the co-efficient of expansion is sufficiently low to make very little difference, certainly not if you are checking regularly.
