KTM 990 Adventure
Hi all,

I recently bought a 2008 KTM 990 , I have never had one before, it seems like it gets hot extremely very quickly, is there any way to check this. When riding technical or even stop start in traffic it gets hot after 10 min and then the fans come on, what made it worst over the past weekend is that after starting the bike for the 4th time or so the battery was drained.... so

1. Is it normal to heat up so quickly ?
2. What should I do to troubleshoot this
3. Should I go and buy a new and stronger battery as well ?

It also took a while to cool down and kept on running a bit hot .....

Any advice appreciated
