KTM Super Twins Forum

There's a thread on the camshaft thing. Let's be clear; there wasn't a catastrophic engine failure. There was very slight blueing on the cams and they were replaced as a precaution. The dealer did that under their own steam; I probably would never have known. Remember also that my bike is an early 2...

Interesting to find a topic like this on a day where I find myself pondering the idea of just selling the beast and buying something not necessarily my style, but something that doesn't fill me with regret every time I see it or ride it. A bike where I don't have that looming fear and expectation o...

I'll be very interested to hear how you go.

This is an update on the camshaft issue I hinted at in the front brake thread. At the 30000km service the dealer contacted me to inform me that I had scuffing on the cams requiring replacement under warranty along with new oil jets. This was a bit confusing because it turns out it was more about blu...

For sure. My first rotors were toast.

Thanks for the response. I'd imagine the shipping time would be somewhat similar to your country as to the USA if it came from Austria. How long did it take for it to arrive, since that last post it's been nearly a month, and like you I bought but not yet received some Brembo HP 5.5mm rotors, but t...

I am waiting on new front wheel as we speak. I had my discs replaced under warranty; things improved slightly for a while but the problem was still there. I purchased a set of upgraded Brembo discs that float more easily because I was tired of it. The bolt holes on those discs were indented and had...

After investigating what is available for the 1290 my suspension tech has come up with the following options: 1. Front & rear gold valve upgrades and sprung to my weight. The rear is a relatively simple upgrade, but the shitty setup on the front requires a heap more work. His advice is coming from ...

Top right, there's a flag - pick the Union Jack - that'll give you English. For the front. http://www.andreanigroup.com/products/motorbike/105|KT3/ That's in Italian! Thanks but it's not much help for some of us who don't read or speak Italian. Phew. Thanks JasonK. Now we can all get some sleep.

For the front.

I use the Kriega tank converter. It's not a dedicated tank bag, and doesn't have the same features, but it works fine.

The KTM Powerparts fender eliminator works.

Thank you for the post. I've been waiting for this.
Just a quick question; it looks like you went with the top option (K911 cartridges and Evo shock). Do you believe you get better street performance with the more expensive option?

Fragoulis; thanks for that little bit of info regarding Rapid Bike modules and the relationship to the Akra map and stock map. I wasn't informed about that and I need to do my homework. I currently have a Rapid Bike Racing installed on top of an Akra map.

KTM Oz have done a few of those now. That horse has well and truly bolted. Confirm the fault in the shop with a dial gauge and you should get some action.

Overall I would have to give them a thumbs up. Unlike my dealer they went into bat for me on the wobbly rear wheel situation and got it resolved. On the other hand, I had the front brake disc problem and asked them to look into that for no result (I got that one resolved back at my dealer in the end...

No issues whatsoever. When I started to look I was surprised at how hard it was to find a bar with the right dimesions. The only other bar I would look at is a Kwala Flo handlebar, low version. It is low, flat, less sweep, and is ok on clamp and control areas. However it is wider again. As I said, I...

After searching around I ended up with an LSL 'Cross" bar. Be aware; it is a bit wider than the stock bars. This suits me because I am a big bloke with wide shoulders. Bar looks good, fits perfectly and is lower with less sweep. I'm very happy with it.
