KTM Super Twins Forum

I have managed reasonable power wheelies in sport mode, never tried in street. I have noticed lately with my new tires I'll do a burnout before the front has a chance to come up the engine cuts power, so no 1st gear wheelie, but if I keep on the throttle it will float the front thru 2nd & 3rd. I don...

Arrow makes a few mid pipes, If yours is strait thru you and your not feeling a loss of mid band power around 6k rpm you probably already have the akra offroad flash. 6th gear is really tall on the sdr/gt but there are a few members that have claimed the OFT completely fixed the low rpm stumble in 6...

Any progress?

I was 2 1/2 hours from home and ambient temp was around 80f. I pulled over a few times, checked things over, for glowing orange pipes the best I could, but there was no hint the bike was in any trouble. I have no doubt had I been in traffic she would have gotten hot but sticking to the back roads an...

The top seam on my 2016 se also started leaking. I used marine epoxy, capped one end and used suction on the other to pull the stuff in and 4000 miles later knock on wood. I got rid of the cat and loaded the akra map and I rode the bike home DRY and while at stop oil temp would get up to 208f once r...

Nice bike, welcome to the forum. The Beast is just as much fun as you can have on the street. and comfortable to boot.

Congrats and welcome, I love the way this bike handles! I read all the reviews that complain and I get that the front is light but try and get an I4 to tighten its line mid turn or better yet toss one from side to side, forget about it. as to the power being comparable...just wait for whats coming a...

This bike does ok at low rpm's in the first 3 gears but try and keep it above 4k in 4-6th that will also help with the lash of which you speak. I've broke in 2 1290 SDR's now and only having 3-6500 rpm's to play in gets boring really quick, besides I read motoman's break in page and it made sense so...

they look so nice when they're clean

I think it depends if the bike is 14-16 or later? either way I passed on the mini arrow cat and got a mid pipe with a couple bends to it for back pressure for both my 15 and 16 model. Both bikes were considerably louder than stock with the cat removed, but still quieter than the modded harleys aroun...

somebody nicked you when parked

I was in the same boat last year after a kid on an atv pulled out in front of my 2015 sdr and totaled it. I wanted a BLACK SDR and my ins ck was $15,350. The best I could find was $18,500 2017, $13,200 2016 orange or $16,250 2016 SE. No black leftovers anywhere I could find so I bought the se becaus...

I'm keeping an eye on it. so far it hasn't repeated and running temp is normal.

I meant to post there was a puddle of coolant about 3-4 oz worth on the floor and there doesn't appear to be any gasket leaks. The oil in the sight glass looks normal and the little plastic coolant reservoir is dry. Any suggestions to why the bike decided to release several oz's after a ride? I'll a...

I get done from an 80 mile ride saturday evening and park my bike in the garage then sunday morning there's a good size puddle of what appears to be water under it?

Congrats! The mirrtors work great. Enjoy your new beast.

As we all find out after the 600 mile service the back lighting on the instrument cluster goes off during the day. Is there any way to get it back? I can't see sh!t.

When I read the title I thought it was a joke. I like how it came out.

Awesome bike! nearly 15,000 miles later and still laughing every time I ride mine.

He probably saw what they cost new and retracted! Apparently KTM considers the stock can worth $650. as the promo Akra in spring of 2016 for new leftover 2015's was valued at $350, same as the ins paid out when bike was totaled. Akra's prices are just stupid!
