Well with the nights drawing in I thought it time to give the KTM a good strip down, clean and fettle whilst I had the time. The first part off to be given the cleanup treatment was the SXS pipe. I decided to send this off to be chromed, I also stripped the silencer down and sent the steel parts off as well.
