I commute 80 miles per day. I love KTM brand and would like to get one for my commute. Any recommendations?

I was excited 2 years ago to buy an Aprilia 125 supermoto style bike. I got to the point where I was about to go and make the purchase.

I thought living in rural wales I could potentially get away with first year riding on a brand new bike as the insurance wouldn’t be that high...

Well I was very wrong. My Dad rang me just as I was about to head down the bike dealership and told me to get some insurance quotes for it... 1800 pound for first year and the bike was 3100.

I quickly informed the guys at the shop that I won’t be buying it.

Ended up getting a 2015 Yamaha 125r and halved the cost.

As the title says. Not after the SAE connection, I’ve got one of those. I need the mains plug to plug into the device to get it power.

Literally nothing from google or eBay.

I’ll be giving Oxford a ring tomorrow but any heads up would be great!

Hope you all have a nice Sunday 👍

So I went for a cruise round some twisties after work. I was having an amazing time, felt like my cornering has improved a lot since my last non-commute ride.

Anyway, I’m on a bendy road but it was open and wide. I end up behind a big wagon. I played it very safe and couldn’t see any possible point of overtaking. So I stuck behind the wagon.

A round about approaches an for some reason I thought it opened to two lanes so go along his right hand side. He doesn’t indicate and I quickly realise I’m in a tight situation as it didn’t open to two lanes just slightly wider single.

I decide due to no approaching vehicles to our right to accelerate. Possibly the right thing to do, maybe not. Either

So I went out on my newly put together ride, bars are epic, setup feels great. But the chain kept coming off along with the cranks moving say 1/6th of a rotation before the hub responded. I've taken the rear wheel off and if feels loose or as though it's worn but I can't say. Anyone know of any decent YouTube vids to check out or have any advice regarding this? Cheers
