    May I add that a good service with fresh oil ect makes a huge difference? When last was your bikes suspension service? I had mine done recently at MP in Capetown, and apart from other work, he found one orifice or valve thingy clocked up. His explanation was that pressure would have built up at...

    Hi Piet, My side stand is nou about 80 mm longer (at the bottom) and the existing spring is not strong enough to keep it up when "enjoying the bike"---small jumps etc. Did you use a stronger spring? @Kamanya i will take it thanks. Watsapp send

    KTM 990 Adv - making suspension longer

    So...what did you do with the side stand spring after making the side stand longer?.... Did you move the connector on the side stand and replaced with a longer and stronger spring? IS the side stand for the S and R models longer at the spring section or longer at the bottom end of the stand?

    KTM Virgin ...

    I owned a GS many years ago, since then on 2 HP2's (also Boxer engine) and now also a 990. This is a very old debate, so I think I am in a position to give an alternative view. Just park for a minute the discussion what bike is best, and look into the designers "intent", or "Brief". Maybe it...

    Sudden loss of front tyre pressure?

    Happened to me last year on my way from WARR. Front went flat in the Nuwekloof pas. I had to use both lanes through that little pass. Was on my first trip on the 990.
