It worked earlier . Not sure what happened ?

When I click on it, it turns counterclockwise 90 degrees for a split second then turns back and that’s it?

Yep, I can’t make it play either. Can’t wait to see it though.

Hmmm... its playing now . Weird

 

[mbaird]

It turns sideways because some idiot turned his phone sideways while recording it . If I ever get my hands on that guy .....

 

[yellow rose]

Yeah, still not working for me. I click on the button and the picture rotates and then it goes back to where it started.

 

[tjpatte]

Still the same here.

Do we have an updated video yet?????? I’d love to hear it.

I took it out for a ride on Saturday.
Getting used to the old chassis. SO much different than the modern KTMs I have been riding for 15 yrs .
I will get some video this weekend.
