humor corrupts and leads to bad behavior like drinking and sex

So the KTM might be toast

coolant droplets on the floor this morning. Further investigation revealed the front cylinder is soaked. It's either a base or head gasket. :(

I just cracked 9100 miles yesterday

Not sure what I'm going to do :P

You're sure it is coolant and not the water pump issue/failure that seems to frequent these things?  

Sucks either way.  Think this was cause at all from your playing lawn luge with it?

A coolant leak hardly toasts it.

Call Knight...he fixes stuff good. ;D

Unrelated I think. I dropped it on the left at like 8 mph

the outside of the front cylinder is physically wet with coolant starting at the head/cylinder seam on downward.

All I know is *I* don't feel like fixing it

I also don't feel like paying to fix it if you catch my drift.

Not sure how far I'll get with KTM and my dealer
