Hey Opto, I was in a Fastenal the other day and you'll NEVER guess what sealed bearings they carry on the shelf.... all of them:angel:. 6003-2RS, 6005-2RS, I think the idler and steering neck bearings were there too. Derrrrrrrrrrr....
Isn't KTM having all kinds of problems, I just googled it, I wouldn't buy one !

I agree actually. I am really trying to get him on a Ulysses. Easy to work on and relatively few electronics. Sportster based engine. The plan is already to hit up as many harley dealers along the way as possible. Carry an extra drive belt and evidently wheel bearingsI would not go with Ducati or KTM for a long trip. If it's a brand new bike under warrenty, it's too hard to find reliable dealer service.
Something as simple as an oil change could void your warrenty on one of those uppidy brands.
That's just my 2cents.
So true nj. You can't damn an entire brand for issues with one bike. I know a guy sworn off Chevys because his dad had problems with his Chevy. In 1959
What year Tiger ? I have a 2013 Explorer (1215cc) they're usually pretty bomb proof but, nothing is perfect.
That's exactly what happened to my 2013 engine, I now have a new engine and trans which, come as a single unit. I agree with you, simple is better !
