Got it now Gokhan, you applied shrink tube. Not a bad idea
I just wonder if it can withstand very high temperature as PTFE does.
Time will tell us which one is best but I hope that both will work fine for years.
Happy it works for you too. I was confident...
Well done and thank for sharing your pictures. I'm sure that they will be useful for others. Isn't the concept of such forum ;)
From my pictures, you see clearly this tube around each coil.
I removed it (I was not the 1st one to do so) and remounted the same coil without after a good cleaning.
I thought my tutorial was clear enough but it sounds not. Sorry
All good here :)
Exactly 83200Km on the clock when I went down to hôtel parking to take this picture (birthday gift for Black Panther owner). Incredible, I could not believe it. should had play Lotto today (referring to...
I made 300km today by 35°C and bike is running like a shame. Cool.
This place is for sure not close to ambient but it can't be higher than oil hot spot (110°C maybe). I believe it is FAR from PTFE application range (400°C)
Anyway what bad could happen? It can't be worst than what it was before...
Ignition coils & water ingress: don’t change them too quickly!!! (Part3)
D) Remounting
I applied a bit of pur NON-DRYING silicon to coils and to engine (a tube found in car spare parts shop)
It says: Electrical insulation compounf. Seals electrical equipemets... Protect automobile ignition...
Ignition coils & water ingress: don’t change them too quickly!!! (Part C)
C) Live testing, coil + spark-plug, one by one for 2-3s only
Air box is still away, air sensor not connected
Use coil connector 4 for testing
Reconnect the battery
Connect the spark-pulg to battery minus
Key ON & fire...
Ignition coils & water ingress: don’t change them too quickly!!! (PartB)
B) Prepare the coils
(last coils cleaning with window spray)
(Try to mount the coil to cylinder without spark-plug. It is a bit lose, therefore water can get inside)
Add PTFE to coil top + ZIP attach to top coil
Add PTFE...
Hi Folks,
Frenchie in Cape Town… I love South Africa, except when it comes to rugby maybe (2023 world cup, quarter 28 FR – ZA 29, grrrrrr). East and Western Cap are really 2 wonderful provinces for motorbiking.
For years, I’m happy to share this good time in CPT, often with my best fried. KTM...
Not KLG but Kappa KGR46 + KGR33, 46l +33l, Givi Monokey system.
Kappa KRG are exactly like Givi Trekker, except the cover who is in one piece. From this video, you can see how easy it is to mount/dismount them in 20s. You can also notice the 2pcs plastic fingers dedicated to Givi Trekker...
Hi,
On my KTM 1190 I do have the PLR (Removable) that I never remove... Thus, I went for the PL standard for my XT1200ZE.
Im wearing Kappa KLG46 & KLG33 + Givi V56 topcase. We are really in love how quick & easy it is to lock or unlock these suitcases on bike once arrived at hotel for a nice...
