We get lots of questions about which is better - the ktm or the bmw.
Expect OC to resoundingly say the ktm. Doh!

Therefore a bit of almost humour about the eternal GS v 950 debate from a fellow who had owned both for a little while. Looking then buying his bike, now he's got a few miles on the 950 finally oops, guess what happened!

On a more serious note, people ask what are the first modifications to a 950.
Obviously the choices are quite personal but the common answers seem to be:

• exhausts - lose weight, heat and gain sound!
• jet said bike to suit pipes and altitude.
• if USA spec canisterectomy is a must do...
• tune suspension to suit rider style and weight
• perhaps crash bars and pannier mounts to help your toy survive the inevitable
• centre stand if you don't have one.
• fit ultra heavy duty tubes as field tube repairs are one PITA :huh
• going to an aftermarket seat seems popular but you will get used to the stock one...

Here are some. Will add to them. Dont know how to make em fancy and linky with a nice description. Anyone wanna let me in on the secret? I use Firefox.

How to change the front sprocket

fixing that rear flat:

beforehand grinding the bead is one solution to make it easier to bead break
using the side stand to break the bead

I note I've ridden 30 miles with a flat 908rr rear fully laden up to about 40mph - didn't break the bead tho...

Awesome compilation of Carb/tuning information.

The HOW has moved to a new server. It is now located at:

KTM Hall of Wisdom

Many of the threads discussing canisterectomy, flapendectomy, SASectomy, motorectomy, carburetion/jetting, individual modifications, suspension, common problems/issues, How-to's, and many more subjects can be found there.

Can we add this one to the High Fender Conversion section in the OP?

It is 990 Non-S specific.

I struggled for a long time trying to source a facet in the UK. I finally found one and they stock the 40171 plus all the brass fixings and filters.

Hope you find it useful.

They're also available here and here, even though they're not shown in the respective online shops.
