Not many ADV bikes can do this.... ; )

Hey Guys, Does any one have any experience of fun gravel routes in the following places?: 1. Carlitzdorp Day route and back to Carlitzdorp 2. Carlitzdorp to Cederberg Oasis on Gravel, 4X4 routes etc... Look forward to hearing any ideas! Cheers James

Hey Guys - my 990 screen has taken a beating over the years and has some cracks and chips and a big chunk came out of the top now. Does anyone have a stock screen lying around that I can buy? Perhaps someone who has upgraded or gone for a touring screen. Thanks! James

Hey 990 Guys - I had a side stand issue which I have now bypassed - but Speedo display was dishing out things like SOFT 33 and DAT 10 which relate to battery and voltage I believe. So, myself and Superfoxi checked the battery and running on high and low beam with revs and without and it was...

OEM Filter 990  - dusyt as hell after one ride.... spoke to Pros and they said; 1. Quick wash in petrol, straight into soapy mixture and rinse in water ( same as foam enduro foam filters ) 2. Let dry and them spray with fabric filter spray underside and let dry in sun 3. Reinstall and good as...

Hey Guys - I have seen this to varying degrees on 990's, its not causing any specific problems other than looking shit. Have you guys had experience with this, and did you manage to fix it by taking it off and getting it re-powder coated. Is that a mission or can I just lock off that nut and...

To be more specific…. range from when the fuel light came on… I made 52km into Ceres, and PSteyn 53km!!… and we were still going as we pulled into the petrol station. We did nurse them at about 100km/h and freewheeled down the pass into Ceres, but I was pretty surprised. Now I know how far can...

14 on the trot now for KTM, absolutely dominating across the field still from the pro's to Malle, down to amateurs… Honda doing well despite challenges, even Sherco making some good ground with basically ONE rider… but Yamaha, ( as we have some serious experts on this forum )  :loll: just really...

Looks tit.. I understand it will work off road well enough... How does it fare on the road - high speed cruising, that inevitable part of ADV riding. Head shake etc… especially above speeds of 140 or 150kmh I notice in the Dakar they swap between high fender and std wheel arch fender depending...

Hi Guys, I am planning a section of a ride from Hondeklipbaai to Orange River Lodge. I have a section of the Richtersveld already earmarked from the R382 heading North, but I wanted to know if anyone has gone up past Hondeklipbaai tight on that coast up to Port Nolloth. We are coming up the...

Hey Guys, I have just changed my front brake pads on the 990R - wheel does not turn freely, lots of resistance on the disc from the new pads. I have changed them on my enduro bike plenty, and while that is only one side, there is not any real resistance with a fresh set? The pads are sinter...

Hey Guys, I know that this has been discussed at length, I was just wondering on the feedback from the TKC80 front in the bends on the tar. It seems to have a pretty square profile on the front and doesn't seem to look like it would corner too well in the twisties.

I saw this come up a while ago - can't seem to find thread. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Speedo Display started re-setting while riding and I could feel this affecting the mapping, or fuel delivery, or spark as each time it would reset I would feel a dead...

Hi Guys, I wasnt really keen to hardwire it in, its a Zumo 660, but battery life is an issue so needs to be done. I have heard that you can just wire the line into the ACC 2 which is apparently taped into the right hand front fairing, without soldering. I'd like some advice from someone who...

Posted this in the 990 section but thought some other WD's would also be interested for thirsty bikes.... https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=133873.0

The 990/950's are thirsty beast as we know, and running out of fuel on the longer trips has always been a niggle at the back of your mind the longer you ride into the route, hoping that you'll make it, not get lost, not have to turn around for a flooded river and back track, reach a dry fuel...

Atlantis this Sat, after the rain was fantastic - we had a great ride, great conditions for the most part, except for some plastics that had chopped up some routes before us. FreeRad and myself managed to make it, and others fell away... Ultimately 2 people make a great ride, no hold ups and we...

Any takers?

So, when I saw the bike and all the hype I immediately thought about the drop in clearance and having a 990R wondered how much difference the drop in clearance would impact damage to the bike. Lots of assurance from KTM that its a non-issue... I cant help but laugh, and I am not sure if anyone...
