...performed. I think this cable needs to be a tad longer if the speedometer/odometer is expected to function. 15,300 miles. Considered going the Speedhut route, but decided to replace the "odometer cable 01760492". The break was up near the instrument panel. Are their any consumables I need to worry about at the other end at the "odometer gear 01762560" interface?

On more occasions than I care to admit, I've warned an upcoming turn of my arrival.

I approached tanking my take off (2004 V11) for the first time with some trepidation after reading others experiences. FWIW, turned out it was NBD getting it back on.

FWIW, following replacing the fuel filter on my 2004 V11, the bike "screeched" at key on. Went away fairly quickly after everything "primed up". Hasn't been an issue since. I know the OP mentioned it came from the area of the relays...but this is the only time I've encountered a screech on my bike....errr, I mean...from my bike!

I came early to the party....just after they knocked 40%-50% off MSRP when HD announced jettisoning Buell. Still in the middle of rotor replacement with the EBR "final fix". This will be stator #3....

The RAT looks like fun, too...but its scheduled over my summer road trip's prep time. Yeah, I'm a procrastinator.....

Have used these in both applications without any issues on my V11, including re-use. No drips, seepage, etc. Did buy a torque wrench capable of the in-lbs they spec.

"Anyway, The front is the business end, but a working rear is a handy back-up." A t-shirt worthy philosophy.....

Works for me.....

I guess that would be..hmmm....essentially east, eh? Sounds good!

Sweet! Enjoy......

Thank you, Sir!

Ditto on this. I hadn't left enough slack in the harnessing going into the ignition switch during my foray into switch lubrication. At full lock, I was able to disengage the removable bottom "cup" of the ignition switch assembly. Exhibited the same symptoms...

KTM curse....or some other travesty? Glad your adventure has everything back home and a plan forward....

New rear tire arrives tomorrow. I'll let them socialize for a bit.....and if the weekend weather isn't inclement, may even leave her in her "room" to see if she really prefers to pout vs getting out to strut her stuff .....(anyone know where I can get a tee with "Anthropomorphic" emblazoned front and back?)

My 2004 has never marked her spot.

Lordie no, at the rate the day that verrry bad girl would've never let me get out of the dealer's parking lot if I dared put the KTM between my legs! Seriously, short of a major fail which I trust would have already been mentioned in the various bike-specific forums or magazine road tests, it takes me a few hundred miles...at least...to make a final judgement as to the efficacy of any future addition to the stable. Usually do without.....

I knew it was bad form, but after discovering a KTM dealer only 50 miles away with an in-stock 1290 Super Duke decked out for sport tourer duty I figured why not combine a V11 ride with window shopping? I barely got underway before the rear brake expressed its discontent with my intentions by refusing to obey foot commands. Since this was just a leisurely ride and not corner carving, NBD. Made it to the dealer and ogled the bike (surpisingly erect seating position, hoses going to all sorts of unusual places for that push-button suspension adjustment stuff I read about, looks like it has an servomotor controlled valve in the exhaust after the cat converter for euro noise compliance, single-sided swingarm...and the bags looked ginormous). It does have a..distinctive..look, something like a streetfighter grudgingly accepts the audacity of hard luggage while its sibling dirt bike heritage is still there somehow. The ride home was uneventful but enjoyable, of course. The recently added GPS and voltmeter were working and the speedometer bezel (which has come off twice) was secure. The bike was running strong and the previous uncertainty in the front end I had felt in previous outings apparently been solved by adding a few psi to the front tire. It hadn't been outrageously low, so I was surprised at what a difference it made. Pulling into the garage, taking off my helmet, shutting the garage door, and heading into the house I stopped, hearing this loud hissing. Well....I hadn't spun up the air compressor recently soooo....sure enough, I was able to witness the V11's rear tire giving me the equivalent of..the bird....as its opinion of the outing. Total round trip was ~100miles. Glad it wasn't 110......

Enjoy...and welcome!

I swear I'll take a shower next year...errrr......I mean...y'all are slow!

You know it! Even considering washing and waxing the bike. Might even scrunch down and take a swipe at the wheels......

Wandering in the vicinity of Cedar Vale,...took a break from the traffic in Sedan, KS.
