It's crazy I tell you, I mean , they give you all the other tools you might need , but not a plug spanner ?
Then they have the cheek to give you a bl***y bottle opener, WHAT!
So then gents, why is this ? Are KTM trying to promote alcohol or what ?
And to top it off, a normal plug socket won't even fit in the hole ! How daft are the people that design these bikes! They can't even make the bash plates on time.

I've used the bottle opener far more than I would have used the plug spanner. I've only got one cylinder, but the fridge is always full :wacko:

You'll understand when you get that bit older Jamie, a bottle opener is the most important commodity in lfe. I have one on my key ring, I have one in my tool box and one in my Hockey Kit bag......some day young master Stokes you'll understand.... :wacko:

Maybe one day they will incorporate a bottle opener into the plug key. That way if your plug fouls you can crack open a nice cold beer.

Bike breaks, phone for recovery, go to shop, buy beer, get hammered, recovery arrives, lift home, get more hammered.

Sounds like a great tool to me.

and in a drunken state try to make some toast in your bright orange KTM toaster and wonder how the KTM logo appears in the middle of your toast. :rolleyes:

First rule to remember is, always treat your bike, like you treat your women. Get on her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.
