KTM 690 Enduro owners show off your bike !

Looks like your having some fun out there Oldbear!

Got her all put back together with a fresh top end!Took a quicky test ride and it for sure feels stronger. Makes me realize how much the DR sucks

Prepping mine for the MX1K and decided to have a little fun while it's in my living room



Happy Holidays everyone!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Love the pics.

Went on a ride to help a friend break-in the engine on his new 690 Enduro (his old bike was stolen about a week earlier).

What make is the pannier frame and skid plate?

Two items I installed as well on my '12 that have survived the Mayan apocolypse. I have a sneaky feeling they both will also outlast Keith Richards as well.

Sturdy kit for sure!

Thanks Oldbear and Dirty.

Here's a pic of my new 690, picked it up on Friday last week and 3 days and 450km later it feels lighter already.

Santa was good to Me this year! Just fitted Guard-it technology bash plate, Cycra Pro Bend CRM Handguards & a Renazco Ergo Seat in full Black Suede.
Bash Plate was a breeze to fit & the quality is awesome,Not too noisy & looks great in Black. Hand guards were fairly easy to fit with a bit of tweaking here as there as the CRM mounts fouled on the Scotts Underbar Damper mounts.The Renazco seat is the ducks gutz. I got lucky with the seat when I contacted James with a few questions about his seats. He had just had a seat returned to him as it was too tall for the guy that ordered it, so I jumped on it at a reduced price, Seat base & all.Total time from Email to riding on My new seat was 6 Days so I cant speak highly enough of the Renazco brand. James & Sonia were very helpfull & the seat is just as good as everybody says they are. Top quality!
Happy Dayz!!

Are you able to tell me what the overall outside/fitted width is of the TT pannier racks at the rear please? Just trying to find out if the TT racks are narrower than the RR racks.

Cheers
Trev

Awesome, thank you for that. TT racks are narrower by about 4cm then.

Yep, I prefer to use furlongs as a unit of measurement.

The max width of the TT racks I have mounted measure 0.00239899 furlongs, but for the imperialist bastards out there, this converts to 19 inches.

Dirty

Do you also use furlongs per fortnight instead of MPH?

Cheers,

MrHix

Creedy nice rig. Noticed the scotts damper, its high on my list as the bike really needs it. Love the seat, did you go though the renazco website or do they have someone in AUS distributing them?

As a surveyor I prefer smoot as a measurement..
48 centimetres = 0.282054295 smoot

Thanks Mate,
Yeh, the Scotts damper is a trick bit of gear, really well made.
I got the seat from contacting James here: info@renazco.com. I just got lucky.

I’m keen to know what effect a steering damper would have on open dirt roads – I love the 690, but suspect that I might have maintained faster average speeds on dirt roads wringing the neck of the old DR (albeit substantially modified) – it just tracked so much better – far more stable – the 690 would have left the old DR for dead on fire trails, but not on open dirt roads – feels as though you can’t use all that horsepower to its full effect – once over about 110kph, it gets very twitchy at the front end and every now and then the terrifying wobble kicks in ...<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Does the steering damper help the 690 to track better at speed?<o></o>
It would obviously help to smooth out hard rocky fire trails, but I’ve got used to riding those without one ...<o></o>

Get your suspension set up properly, with correct springs/sag and you won't have any issues like that.
