    2014 KTM 690 camshaft failure

    My son's 2014 690 had the same failure at about 33000 kilometers. It was repaired by KTM without splitting the cases. Whether it is worth the risk is something you'll have to decide yourself. But the one thing to bear in mind is that it is unlikely that any needles are inside the engine. The...

    Saturday morning assh*le

    That's the problem with those futuristic designs, they get pricey. Although, taking inflation into account that is not a bad price for a petrolpump 892 years from now.

    The Sadist down!

    I didn't realise that even the 990s were made out of cheap "break at the first sign of trouble" IndoChina materials. And clearly Mark spilled his coffee all over his nice hospital gown when you showed him the picture of his bike. @Just Blip It! heal up soon.

    I just hope they don't get "woke" and ban the grid girls like they have in F1.

    Wanted KTM 990 Magura clutch master cylinder

    Does anyone have a complete KTM 990 Magura clutch master cylinder to sell. Including the switch if possible. This is the one that uses mineral oil (not brake fluid). I am trying to make a hydraulic clutch conversion for my 890.

    Pan-Africa bikes

    I did the very same trip with my son 10 years ago on XR650Ls. No need to spend a lot of money on modifications. A 23 liter Acerbic tank, a bit of reinforcement for the subframe and a good luggage rack and you are good to go. We also added a 10 liter jerrycan but that was more a hang up of my...

    Top Box....Pros and Cons?

    I can tell you that it is not a good packing spot for a 6 pack of beer, your thermos should be a bit sturdier.

    Pricing! Where is it going?

    I will have to change my forum name to Johnny-come-lately as I can't keep up with you lot. However, I can answer @FJR1300 's question easily: I posed the same question to an e-bike salesman some years ago, pretty much when they first started appearing. His answer to this was "there is so much...

    Pricing! Where is it going?

    In my few hours absence there have been lots of posts, excuses for not taking all those into account. The idea that everyone in Europe earns so much money is a bit skewed, more than a bit in fact. Motorcycles like this are a luxury item there as well. And the point I was making was more from a...

    Pricing! Where is it going?

    Whilst it doesn't really help you to know that it is way more expensive elsewhere (in Euros in the Netherlands in this example) it still makes you feel that you better buy now as it is an indication of where it is going.
