Aussie 950/990 Owners Thread

No not really, I got 265km to the tank on the weekend, 80/20 offroad/road, and I wasn't holding back in the dirt, which is about normal.

Eeeked out 46km to home with the low fuel light on, I haven't filled it up yet, but reckon it will almost be empty.

Usually my range is between 260 and 310km, depending if I'm riding in the dirt, or just highway cruising at the speed limit.

The R map is only different in that the secondary throttle butterflies are set to open to 100% at high RPM, giving you more top end (12 extra HP from memory).

So if you are just cruising, you are riding in the exact same map parameters that were in the std map with Akros.

PS. Leave the 02 sensors enabled for best economy.

If anyone has an 09-10 990, they should be dumping the 11 map into it to smooth out the throttle response. KTM have sorted the map out from 11 onwards. The 12 models run the same map as the 11's.

Pre 09 bikes ran different cams, so you can't use the 11 on map on those. But there are other tweaked maps out there for the earlier bikes that improve them, some are available on the Tuneecu web site.

The only difference engine wise between an ABS 990 with the low suspension, and an R model is the Map loaded on the ECU.

As you can see, it's a bit wider where you sit, but still narrow for standing.
A bit of a fiddle to fit, but I only had a cheap staple gun.
It even helps take out some of the small bumps normally sent through the seat.

Thanks for the suggestions guys - I'll give them a go

Well I don't truly trust any KTM dealer I've met so far! I think it was Dalby.......

Oh no paul don't start him up again, his blood pressure has only just normalised since the last time he lost it.

I did the Gibb about a 18 months ago on the DR with standard seat no sore bum, bugger all standing up. Its nowhere near as rough as it was 30 years ago.

Hi all,

I've been contemplating purchasing a Rottweiler CPR filter for a while...

Q1: what are the thoughts of those who already have one?

Q2: As they are quite expensive is there any interest in a group buy to try and get a better price?

Doing a trip across the Simpson later in the year. Currently have Heidenau rear on with TKC front. Looking at putting on a HP4 front with a 908 rear. How will they fair across the desert. I have a 800km bitumen ride to get to the off road section. Will they handle that amount of road work, and still be servicable. Or should I change over to them at the start of the dirt.
Also any ideas where I can get some UNI filter prefilter sock for a 990.
Cheers

Those tyres should be as new after 800k's of tar unless you smoke em up or sit on silly ( high ) speeds . Just put em on before ya go and go . Fuel load is usually more of an issue than tyres for the Simpson .

+1 on the tyres, I run these on my 950 and get good mileage. I have been told by a former Safari winner that the HP4 is not the best in the sand, but I have limited experience with this and had no issues in short runs. Maybe others can chime in.

Speaking of fuel, what would be a safe fuel load for the Simpson without Safari tanks on a 950adv?

Hello All,

I thought I would ask the experts.

Does anyone have a part no for the points in the Mitsubishi fuel pump. I need a set fairly urgently and am hoping to source some in Perth.

If anyone has any info I would appreciate it.
