#3I bled the clutch system and she's as good as new again!
Only problem was that when I went to my dealer to buy MINERAL OIL clutch fluid which is recommended by KTM, my dealer hands me synthetic brake fluid and says "sure that's what we always use!!". I informed him him that it had to be mineral oil only as synthetic would rot the seals. He just shrugs his shoulders, the other 2 KTM dealers in Dublin had the same lame attitude.
When I bled the system the fluid was like the bottom of a murky pond!!! Is anyone else getting unsatisfactory service from their dealers? i.e. dealers not setting up their bikes correctly for them. For example: when I was changing the front sprocket the other week, the sprocket nut came off in my hand when I bent back the lock washer!!! How fooking dangerous is that?
Sorry for the rant lads, its just one of a dozen things my local dealer has fooked up on!!!
I still love my SD though
