Riding a SM really does bring out the best in one doesn't it
Yep, I couldn't help but ride like a complete twat, cutting through traffic and just acting like a teenager on my first bike again

........
All very tempting
but managed to leave with my wallet still intact but waiting for a call back on a part ex price for a new 1290 SAS
............
So, today's task is to see if I can get the engine management light to go out, no fault codes displayed on the dash and get the TC and ABS to work again..............
Looks like on on my own with it being a 2021 model with it's new dash and tweaks to the electronics. As far as I can ascertain previous years just need the speedo recalibrating, TC and ABS aren't affected so I'll be using the procedure from previous years to recalibrate the speedo, hope that it works sorts the TC and ABS. Of course, there's always the chance they aren't related. We'll see....................
I’d that a tyre warmer ....?
Something like that……..having failed maths O level I had to resort to a practical way of measuring the wheel’s circumference

Stand the bike upright with the valve at the bottom, put a chalk mark on the floor, wheel the bike forward one full revolution and put another chalk mark on the floor then measure between them. It’s much easier than using masking tape and string

..................... I suspect there must be a digital 'switch' in the EMS as surely they must use the same unit for the Enduro and SM Back to the drawing board and some more digging...............
Wouldn't it just be easier to buy another bike?
Edit: In addition to this one, not instead of. Wouldn't that save you faffing around with lights on dashboards, bits of string & sprockety things?
Yeah, but, where's the fun in that?

I'm getting bad thoughts involving an FE350 and a 701SM
Wot he said ;-)
My FE350 is a great trail bike and good at making up for my lack of skill in the tricky bits, but a 701 for country lanes, easier tracks and going further (without involving a trailer) would be the perfect compliment
Then all you need is a Tomos for shits, giggles and cruising around on and you have the perfect stable of awesome steeds!
Jobs for today:
Phone calls; I've also found a UK based guy that makes custom tone rings for 1*90 KTMs so currently seeing if he can be persuaded to look at 701/690's. I won't tempt fate but it's looking hopeful.................

How does that go, to the tune of "For he's a jolly good fellow" with the lyrics of "it's probably the feckin fuel pump" ?
