Which is good. Only qualified and trained KTM technicians should have access to the spark plug. The tank will require a special socket to be removed, by the way. The motorcycle will explode if you attempt to fix it yourself.
Oh wait, my Husaberg already has this feature.
One of my buddies has a 450sxf, it took him half a day to get the plug out of that, first of all cutting down a plug socket, so that it fit between the rocker cover and the frame, drop that in, and then had to machine equivalent length of 3/8 key steel to fit the socket, with the machined hole up the middle for the plug insulator to fit.
I dare say that KTM have a purpose made tool, but heck - why so difficult?
Azza.

If that truly is the case & they have designed this KTM like this, I would suggest it was a design flaw. Either that or they are trying to encourage the public to take their bikes to the shop for everything that needs to be done to it. Less public intervention, less warranty claims ? They dont want you working on your bike. :shock:

You know, there are a lot of Joes out there who don't do squat on their dirt bikes or quads and pay big bucks to have mechanics do it all. Without these Joes, there would be no little mom and pop shops like Z Moto in Apache Junction, 3 miles from my house, when I can run for new tires, new tubes and tools.
I command KTM's effort to keep these guys in business.

He frog how in the world are you wearing out tires? do you push them down the street with a stick like "hoop rolling" cause as far as anyone here knows you just sit in the garage and look at your bike....

If you try to ride your bike underwater (within the Intake limits), the Lambda will be ruined. They need to be vented to atmosphere to have a reference to Stoich. Plus dirt and grime ruin them too.
Another note. A well designed bike won't need access to the plug, it will simply run, especially with Fuel injection mounted. Sounds counter-intuitive, I know, but it makes sense the more you think about it.

Ouch! You funny. Seriously I have not ridden since about January, not because the bike is in parts but because of a new job and longer hours.
I hear ya, I went to Moab in march, and have taken only 4 days rides since then.... and now the new baby is here, I am switching jobs and wont be working from home any longer, more hours and all.....
man life sucks.... :lol:

There is a test of the '08 FE 550 in January's issue of Dirt Rider (US magazine).
They seem to like it.
