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

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....
I keep telling people I'm in shape....round is a shape

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.
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.
