What Did You Do To Your KTM Today?

Thanks Guys,

Brown Dog I'm gonna hang onto the mirrors but it sounds like WP has you covered.

The stock mirrors stick up a little higher than I care for. These can also be folded in out of the way but I rarely do that on purpose, but they seem to end up like that from hitting tree limbs. Not that I would ever do it but I bet they would fold out of the way if I dropped the bike

Going to pick up a new battery and front tire, then I'll be good to go!

Fitted the Dog with his KTM collar

Did some improvement to the old bellypan. The new one is Mucho betterrrrrrr

Nice, Qwik. I want one but don't want to part with that much money for a piece of metal. I know, cheaper than a hole in the block, but still...

I decided to check out how the paint turned out on the bottom of my skid plate

Nothing to see here.. move along

From what I can see, that's a damn fine paint job...

Whats the story on the vent routing?
I see you have them T'd together?

Panniers turned out great, highly recommended for someone trying to save some money. Total investment about a $100.00. Dave in Reno

Now that's downright sexy. I want to molest the hell out of this bike!

Wow! Is there a thread with the details on this? I'd like to learn more!

Not sure, but I'd bet that the KLR boys have a write up for a similar set-up. Seems I recall something similar posted a while back. But

Nice work.

No thread. Actually easy to do. 2 ammo cans $15.00 apiece (Craigs list) Some pucks $50.00(Happy Trails) sand paper and paint and a couple hours labor. Oh yea stickers (ADV rider) Thats all it cost as long as you have the racks. The only draw back is they weigh twice as much as the alum.ones. Oh yea the tie downs on top are from Home depot. Thanks

sorry been occupied trying to nutter the GPI out
reading wiring schematics arrrrrh got a head ake :lol
one thing i do know adv,sm,se,sd are all wired with same dash well going by the PDF lol


i thought having 4 x vent lines is bound to suck dirt in one. so i T'ed them so there be only 2 x lines & hopefully less prone for it.
the 2 x lines are up high along the frame.



also as for the fairing 150kph no buffeting at all (im 6' 3") that's with a MX helmet too.

Finally got around to to installing hontri's extra space option. Really like it. Lots of extra room for my tire patch kit and air pump.

I loaded the Akropovic mapping on my 990R (with FMF Q4) with TuneECU. The bike is running a lot smoother than before and from very low speed I can't make it stall anymore!

The stock 990R mapping was probably running too lean because of emission regulation. Now with de new mapping, it run great!

Thanks to TuneECU!!!

Got up to go for a ride and nothing...no lights nothing dead. Battery was charged, pulled the right side off and skid plate. Blown fuse on main relay. Replaced. Started. Put back together and this time no starter. Take it back it apart again. Find the fuse for the starter side is dirty and loose. clean, reinstall, add dielectric grease, put back together and nothing.

Take it back apart, shop for a new main relay see they are $70 decide to do some investigating. Remove batter and cable to starter, all cables are good. Remove the engine support check the wire loom and see a pinched spot. Cut it open and find this.



Pinched between engine support and hose clamp for the oil return line. Repair reassemble and nothing. Check fuses in glove box and one has blown. Replace fuse, start it up and ride the living piss out of it.

All is right with the world. Running like a raped ape again!

I love electrical problems.

Rode the bike a week with the new sprocket, much happier in slow traffic and slightly better acceleration. No help with the FI response, still surging and twitchy in the lower gears. Will see how the Akra's help.

Money well spent!
