Re: GoreTex + Exhaust = Mess
Hi, this has happened to me a few times over the years. The exhaust will clean off, its harder to repair the pants!!? Just get the exhaust nice and warm use a heat gun or propane torch if you have one. As the burnt on material softens, scrape it with a sharp blade, paint scraper etc. When 99% remov...

Re: GoreTex + Exhaust = Mess
Will take a pic when I get home, but it looks similar to your first pic.
It's quite far back from my leg so isn't normally a problem, I'm not quite sure how it happened but I suspect it was when paddling the bike around in a French Toll Booth whilst swearing, there was always swearing

Re: GoreTex + Exhaust = Mess
It's done well over two thousand miles since it happened so I reckon it's going to need some encouragement
I wasn't sure whether it was better to attack while it was hot, and risk it spreading, or try and chip it away when cold :unsure:

GoreTex + Exhaust = Mess
As the title suggests I've managed to melt some of my trouser on the exhaust link pipe, resulting in a big black mess :unsure:
Anyone got any suggestion for getting it off without leaving any damage?

Re: Tyre recommendations for KTM 1190 Adv on road only
So, big boy, big baggage and big bike.... = averaging 4,500 miles on my PR4's then squaring off a lot. (To be expected really, its asking a lot!) I appreciate that the Trail isn't the best choice - I think the PR4 GT variant is the next thing to try its a more heavy road use variant of the PR4. But...

Re: Tyre recommendations for KTM 1190 Adv on road only
Thanks, yes have also been advised that you need a KTM dealer to fit these because of the pressure sensors. I've completely taken this set for granted and had forgot they were bike tyres not car tyres, but it was dull motorway miles. Best value tyres I have ever owned I'm not sure they need to be f...

Re: Tyre recommendations for KTM 1190 Adv on road only
I also got great mileage out of the original Trail Attack 2s - I changed them at just over 9k miles but reckon they would have been fine for another 1,000. They were a good tyre but didn't half make the handlebars shake. I put Pilot Road 4 Trails on as I've used these on other bikes and have always ...
