...KTM 950 Adventure owners beware if you get a puncture.
950's use tubes in a tubeless tyre ( because of the spoked rim's ). This means that if you are unlucky enough to get a puncture, it is almost impossible to do a roadside repair. You will need to break the tubeless tyres bead and have access to a very high pressure air compressor. A normal garage forecourt compressor won't pop the tubeless tyres bead back onto the rim. A tubeless tyre repair kit won't help either, as to fix the puncture you'll need to repair the tube. It is worth ordering a centre stand with your 950, as without it, it's nearly impossible to get the wheels off.
