Default Re: KTM SMT 2011 - Ongoing Impressions For My Second Bike

I'm currently going over my 950SM with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything is as it should be. Its the wildest thing on 2 wheels i've ever ridden.

I concur...have fun Rob

I am still slowly getting used to the raw power available on tap....every now and then I push it too hard and suffer the consequences of not feeding the throttle carefully enough and realise what a beast I am riding...you've gotta love the torque available and the rev pickup these bikes have got!

I had a small issue today with the bike, the dash keep resetting...it didn't cause me any issues other than not having a display for a few seconds but was worrying, especially after being caught in a down pour on Sunday...it got the mind wondering as the dash is arguablyt the worst thing about these bikes and have gone wrong for a few owners. It turned out the negative terminal on the battery came loose and that was causing the issue, no problem now

Going down a tooth aye, wheelies will be top of the agenda then

Not sure if the 950 is the same as the 990 but there is also a restriction for 2nd and 3rd gears, it can be taken out by disconnecting the gear sensor connections (info on ktmsmt forum somewhere)...
