I have a 2016 and I've noticed that when I drop the bike on the trail, the handlebars can get off center. Once I get the bike back up and I notice, I can apply enough force to them in the opposite direction to straighten them back out.
Has anyone else noticed this happening? Has something gone badly wrong? What do I need to check?
Especially looking at you, wallflowers and other shy people.
Asking for a buddy who doesn't have a Reddit account.
We were riding home from a rally, and my buddy's 790 Adventure (non-R) started running rough like it was about to run out of gas. He managed to get off the highway to a gas station before it stalled completely. The engine would then start, run rough for a few cycles, and stall again. He topped up the gas tank, and there was no rush of air when he lifted the tank cap. There was no check engine light. The bike got towed to a KTM dealership who hooked up the OBD scanner the next day, and there was no error code. The dealer checked the fuel pump and it works fine. They also verified the spark plug and verified the injectors and they appear to be ok too. Bottom line is they do not know what the issue is, and the mechanics are away for a couple of days so the bike is just sitting.
Any thoughts on what the problem might be?
Has anyone spent some time in the saddle of the new WR125 from Yamaha? I'm curious how it performs. Would mostly ride on gravel and forest roads. Maybe some tarmac which would be two up. Looking at either this or the Trail CT125 from Honda.
Have you been to the last show during a previous tour? What was it like and was the experience different from what you expected?

I only discovered their full catalogue maybe a year ago, though I have their first two albums on CD. I got tickets to the concert in my home town (ok the show is in a suburb) and it happens to be the last show of the tour. I've never seen them live before.

Premieres and closing nights sometimes have something special about them. Do you have any experiences like that?
