Howzit guys, Last Thursday evening I dropped my bike on hard ground. I couldn't see the pole I braked for as I was turning to an entrance at zoo lake. The bike must've run for 5 seconds while lying on it's right hand side. The crash bar bent, knocking the valve cover on the back-most corner...

That's a good looking bike!

I can have a look, though it will have to be tomorrow afternoon. PM me if you wanna take me up on the offer.

Hi Chris, I'm pretty sure I asked you for a quote when you sent this to me yesterday? Apologies if I didn't.

Bump!

Hi guys, As stated above, I'd like panniers & racks for my 2012 1200GS AC. Preferably the Vario cases. I'm overseas until the 26th of June, and would like to pick them up the moment I get back. Thanks, Michael oh7nine 3one9 four57three

You should change your nick to "Bwaha"

Okay, so I won't need for a while then. Bike had the plugs replaced before I took delivery of it. Thanks Mr. T :D

Fecking hell!!! What're the replacement intervals on the plugs for the AC? I've a 2012 model so I believe it has 4 plugs.

This is my gripe with KTM too, I took them up with this and they said it's due to them moving over to SAP. Problem apparently still remains. IMHO this aspect of their business model is broken, and needs to be fixed very quickly. Though when my bike was in for a service, the powerpart I ordered...

I'd like a SuperDuke GT one day. It just talks to me <3

Also, on the 390 (I weigh 85kg) I had to preload that thing to the max. But that 390 did handle very well. I will eventually miss it.

Build quality, comfort, reliability, fuel economy.

Do yourself a favour. Once the G310R is available for test rides, go compare the 2. The KTM will only win in performance. BMW will trump it in every aspect.

My 390 is the one that blew a head gasket. 4000km after the rebuild, the engine kakked again, spewing smoke out like a 2 stroke on start up if the bike has stood for 8+ hours. They apparently couldn't find anything wrong, so they replaced rings, stem seals etc. The one ring snap was...

So I've owned an Indian made KTM 390 Duke and have sat on a G310R. The quality is as different as chalk and cheese. The KTM feels cheap, stuff feels loose, everything that shouldn't be able to move, moves. The BMW is amazing for a cheapie. That bike feels solid, everything stays as it should...

I got 6500km on the BT 023 on my 390 Duke. Do not recommend. Try get Michelin Pilot Street variant rather.

Hey guys, My Vario Top Bracket broke this morning, resulting in the top box jumping off and leaning on my back. I'm getting a new one, but would like to know if there's not some way of reinforcing it to prevent it from happening again. Thanks,

I'd also like one!

When the 390 first blew the head gasket in December, they loaned me an 1190 ADV S for 2 weeks. THAT was a learning curve. I rode to Klerksdorp, Cullinan and Harties. The BMW's power is nothing on the KTM, I hit 246km/h and the bike still had the guts to go faster. But I'm happy with the...
