Some bikes are not service friendly

This KTM is a beautiful bike to ride, but service is not the best for end users.
Elevete front 19.7 inchs to bleed air out of cylinders cooling system.
One hour to remove fuel tank.
Crash bars block tank removal.
Fuel filter sock, and paper filter replacement
:(
Front axle removal is fun. Very easy to damage threads, nothing to grab to pull it out. Luckily I have the special brake piston removal pliers designed for Tokiko 6 pot calipers (gen 1 bird or Zrx 1100 / 1200)

It sounds complicated, you have more patience than I do for certain....

Both my lads have Katanas from the mid 2000s and to get at the carbs is a big job...especially when they need to be drained...

The designers of things are not usually the ones who have to repair them it seems.

By the way I'm uploading a video from yesterday for you ;)
