I bought a Wings exhaust from Locomoto Dec last year. Sounds brilliant with the db killer (nice deep sound). I'm not sure that there is a performance increase though, but definitely lighter. Locomoto Wings exhaust

You can also try www.fuelperformance.co.za I've bought from them before, and no issues with my this fuel pump afterwards.

Thanx Exploratio. I'll contact him soon. Travelling for work at the moment.

It's a nice cheap trick to get a bit better performance from the front on high compression while allowing the same damping on lower compression scenarios.

Anyone know where to get progressive springs for the forks? My forks started leaking, and I'm considering progressive springs while the fork service is done.

I'm very happy with the helmet. Fits my head shape.  :thumleft: Quality is top notch. You'll have to go fit it to make sure it fits your head shape though. BW does have a huge selection of helmets if that one does not fit.

As far as I know, the frame is the same from 2009 to 2018. I know the side panels are interchangeable between the model years. I had some 2016 side panels on my previous 2009 model.

This looks to be the correct one for the 690. https://rekluse.com/product/torq-drive-clutch-adventure/ They also have an auto clutch, which I'm not to convinced about.

Found these from TracMac https://trac-mac.com/clutch-kits-components/9366-ferodo-racing-complete-clutch-ktm690husqvarna-701.html

I totally agree! I noticed that the clutch plate set is the same for all model years 2008-2018 My previous 690 was a 2009 model with 654cc and now the new one 2017 has the 690cc. So logic dictates that the clutch plates can't be the same without having issues later. I even had clutch issues...

It's definitely not normal. None of my previous bikes has ever been as harsh on clutches.  :deal: I'm thinking of switching to Rekluse or Ferodo.

Oil does have a huge influence on these bikes. Level and type. Where are you sourcing the plates and springs? I enquired at Raceworx KTM this weekend, and apparently no stock available. Also no estimated delivery from KTM factory. I need a set too!  ::) Although I know where I burned my...

Perfect! See you on Friday!  :ricky:
