Fork change and getting the KTM ready for inspections.

In Sweden we have to do annual check ups on cars and every other year on motorcycles. Since I didn’t get the KTM ready for it before heading for America I missed the inspection and it was put out of traffic. No worries about that but its not legal to drive before getting the inspection over with.

The clutch problem I had was solved but the battery was DEAD, it was drained to 0,3 V had been used since the autumn 2009, and was a cheap replacement from Biltema so went with the Shorai from Raid Designs:

Also added the 12V “outlet”:

Need to get or make some kind of cover for it:

Battery in place:

Fired right up:

Also had a badly leaking fork leg so needed to do something about it, choose to just swap to the other set of fork legs I bought a while ago from a 2005 S Adv (the low S model).

Using CJDesigns wheel axle pusher:

Comparing the two fork legs:

Ran into trouble that the mounts for front fender has changed some between years so had to skip two of the bolts holding the fender:

Final thing needed to be done before inspection was to swap the head light to a stock one since it wont pass with H.I.D lights mounted, just unplugged everything and covered the connectors:

Also added the torque tables I had laminated to the garage wall to have them easy to view:

Apparently it had stood still long enough to gather more then dust:

Waiting outside Bilprovningen for the inspection:

Bike being looked over:

And it passed without any problem:

Now we just need to find some time to ride, been hectic at work and a lot of other stuff to catch up with since arriving home.
