Standard front tyre and TKC80 tyre will fit under the lower black front mudguard, however wider tyres like Dunlop Geomax will need the guard raising as it catches on the left hand inside

Cable tie the electrical speedo cable away from the steering lock bolt, else it can get hooked up on/behind this and rip the wire in two.
(You could also reroute the speedo cable where it exits the front wheel drive inside the lower left fork leg to protect it from being caught out on the trails)

Cable tie the throttle cables to sit in front of the fork tube, else they can move forward and get caught in front of the ignition key assembly and cause the engine revs to rise when on full lock. Also in picture below you see a rubber band pulling the brake cable and wiring down lower than normal, this stops them blocking the view of the instrument panel

Take off the paint/protective coating on the metal tips on the footpegs as it's very slippery when wet, and your boots will probably slip off

Is there going to be a 2017 version then ? , I'd seen they'd been removed from the WK webpage .

Hi all just a few pics to share some ideas, if you find your fuel gauge is way out on the WK remove the sender and bend the float gently down, ive tried to show roughly
where it can go if you place a steel rule horizontally across to meet the float after bending.........
