connector of the old tail light are on the left, new ones om the right. how do i connect it?
the connecter thing the old one went in is also visable on the left of the picture

4 weeks since the start of the cut, small visable changes in the back already, could be the angle though.

had extra support nodig om verdere trips met meer tassen te rijden, even langs de bouwmarkt gegaan en wat in elkaar geflanst, erg stevig en ziet er helemaal niet zo verkeerd uit (hangen natuurlijk tassen overheen wanneer dit erop zit)

both the main and the spare tires blew on the trip to france. my ass was worrying about the correct tire pressure for the trailer whilst the tires were 24 years old (0402)
couldnt check that date because it was on the inside and id have to crawl under to see. tread was perfect, they didn’t even have micro tears anywhere and still blew.
had to abandon the trailer and ride my very uncomfortable ktm rc390 850 fucking kilometres back to the Netherlands.
did it in about 12-12.5 hours.

going to take my bike on my trailer with me on vacation, i want to drive as efficiently as possible, what tire pressure do you guys put in your bike trailers?
1100km trip to south france, bike weighs 150kg, tires are 165-185’s not sure which size exactly. the trailer is small and doesn’t weigh alot on itself.
ps: i know this isn’t a typical trackday question but i know most people take their bikes on their trailer so i thought this was the place to be.)

So we found out the cause for the sudden clutch disengage problem. The hole (see on picture) that that guides oil to the bearing (that is inside of this part) that makes the inner and outer clutch basket spin separately, didn’t have oil.
the sudden oil starvation inside this part (idk what its called i forgot the name) caused the bearing that sits inside to melt and fuck up the inside which caused both of the clutch parts to dig into each other.
both the inner and outer clutch baskets got saved and didn’t need a replacement, only the part in this picture.
the cause is still unknown, the oil was not that old (08-25 and sat still for most of the year).
is this something i NEED to look into or is this something that can just happen? i don’t want to risk an oil starved engine but have no idea how to look into this. oil didn’t have ANY metal shavings or glitter into it, looked really healthy. bike has 25k km and well maintained by experienced previous owner.
bike has new oil and everything now.
any advice or possible causes?
everything’s appreciated!

my ktm has a race seat from fiberglass. i am planning a trip with my gf so shell be on the back which leaves me 2 options in terms of storage: on her back in a backpack
or on the side of the bike.
i already own 2 very large saddlebags that are made to hang on the side, however i don’t know if that’ll be possible on this bike without them destroying the turn signals.
any advice?

PS: Comfort or ergonomics aren’t important. the trip is only 2h of driving since we’re going to take the bike with us on a trailer to south france and go from there.

i need some help estimating my bodyfat percentage, my guess is somewhere between 19-21% and im seeking advice on whether to bulk up (trying to get to 73-74kg) or to cut down a bit of fat. i store the most fat around my waist. What would y’all advice?
(Edit: pictures were made post workout, keep that in mind)

(2015 ktm rc390) the clutch does not disengage anymore so i took it apart, i was thinking the plates sticked together because of the bikes winter sleep and me riding the bike pretty hard after just 1 slow ride, what do you think the state is of the plates, and what could maybe cause the sudden failure of disengaging?

gebeurt af en toe, dat ik de rem volledig kan indrukken (wel met enige vorm van weerstand, niet weerstandloos maar wel met veel minder) en dat hij dan ook niet volledig remt. Normaal stopt hij al bij de halve hendel of 60% ervan bij het indrukken. op zulke momenten kan ik hem tot 80/90% indrukken. Ik dacht zelf aan lucht in het systeem. 1e stap de remvloeistof verversen?

zou ik op deze glasvezel race kont raceschuim kunnen plakken, en houd het glasvezel dat vol? zou namelijk graag een passagier mee willen nemen zonder mn hele tail gedeelte te vervangen naar origineel
