Good time to inspect and clean everything else.

The battery on my KTM is literally one bolt to take off the seat, making it the easiest of all of my bikes. And the front sprocket is held on by a circlip and the brake pads are held in by a single hitch pin each. Just sayin'. :-)

Didn't someone's brake pad fall off due to caliper failure

That was a failure of the "Bullet proof" disk guard... All better now though!

I keep my bike on a battery tender. I'm too lazy to use the push button to remove the seat so I put a pig tail on so I don't have to. I might not see my battery until it failed completely if it was in front of the mud flap like that. On the plus side that puts a bit of weight down low on the freeride.

I dont even do that. If its a been awhile it just takes a kick or two first thing in the morning, then the magic button works fine for rest of the day

Ah, I didn't put the kickstart kit on though. I still win the laziness wars. I haven't missed having a kickstart yet but I may some day. I remember towing a 1990s kawi 650 dual sport (don't think it was a klr, had a low front fender) with a 250+ lb rider out of the woods once. That was an adventure. At least the xtrainer and I only amount to about 400 lbs.

Looks like all the 2018 beta 2 strokes come without the kickstarter.

If you keep your battery charged then you really dont need the kicker...
