Robs bargain MT500

[rob reznik]

A few photos of my MT500 - Came to me with a seized engine and had been standing for at least 2.5 years that I know of - new rings, honing and head Gasket seem to have done the trick - mate of mine made a lowered twin seat so the wife could ride it and its very comfy although you tend to sit in it rather than on it which I actualy like - to give you an idea she is 5' 4" - done about 200 miles on it now and apart from a bad stutter at very low revs seems to run fine and pull like a train - front brake is bedding in nicely and feels much better but looks like the cable needs replacing and then I think it will improve more.

Rob, never known her to stutter, usually she's never lost for words.

Thanks - forgot to add the reason its a bargain is it only owes me £195 - also just fitted a new front brake cable and with the bedding in of the softer front shoes has improved the braking a huge amount - softer shoes on the rear lock it up a bit too easily - or is it my heavy right foot .

Was it a heavy right hand on the KTM.
