    HP2 - Throttle bodies synchronization

    For the HP lovers--I rode a 990R back to back on Saturday. The HP2 pulls the 990R in sy moer in....en dit met 'n diep grom sonder 'n moerse lawaai at a fraction of rpm! ps. I am of the opinion that the 990's are overpriced at the moment. Both 990's i rode had funny vibrations coming from the...

    KTM 990R screen improvements for taller rider?

    I tested a 990R on Saturday on a open road and was very surprised/disappointed to find that the helmet buffeting on this bike is much worse than on my HP. I am 1.89m. Same helmet, same day my HP, with only a very small screen, is actually a lot more comfortable. From past experience a lack of...

    HP2 - Throttle bodies synchronization

    Morning all, The reason for this post is because I suspect there are other owners that also put very little miles on these bikes.. Let me remind you to have the throttle bodies synchronized every few years and also the valves set.. I have put on only a few kilos during the last few years, and...

    Handle bar grips

    I noticed this weekend that my OEM grips are really worn and "glad". Bike is 2008 model, so I assume about time to replace What is a good brand to replace it with or should I go for OEM? If it can dampen the HP trademark vibrations it would help as well... thanks in advance
