'02 KTM Adventure
My '02 Adventure has over 30k miles and is running strong.
Just my 2 cents. Grease everything, wheel bearings-pop the grease seals and dab some in, check the cush hub bearing for rough rnning, grease steering head bearings, swing arm bearings/bolt, shock linkage-grease all the bearings in the pivot, bleed brakes to get new fluid in circulation.
Pull off valve gear cover and check cam followers for wear at the roller bearings, rebuild the water pump/replace seals at least and rotor. Reseal the valve gear case with Hondabond.
Torque the headbolts and ESPECIALLY tighten the front and rear head bolt nuts. I would remove them, add some locktite and reinstall them.
Replace the clutch/trans bearing as suggested. When you have the clutch case off it is manditory to replace the lip seal on the end of the crank that is mounted in the clutch case. If it fails your engine will die.
