I think the common spelling is "farkles," in case you want people to be able to find this thread in a search.

Farkel........

Sorry, but there called disco biscuits!

That word is illegal now. From this day forward use mods, upgrades, fixes, embetterments, deshitifications, badasserization, fuckyouicizing, etc.

Wow.. this thread is off to as good a start as it’s “parent”...


Love the idea, though! This will be much better than searching through 800+ pages of discussions on weight and country of manufacture!!

Kudos!!


First Q I want to see verified:

KTM factory heated handgrips:
1) integrated into TFT controls (a-la 1190), or;
2) require separate controller as with 790 Duke??

Source for cheap replacement fuel pumps?

Re: luggage... The lord said... Kreiga.

Bang for buck and as an integrated system can’t be beat by many. Sure the buckles can be little fiddly but unless you’re in the middle of muddy Siberia they perform, crash well and are totally water / dust proof!

No commercial affiliation either!

I own the Kriega hydration bag, 20L, fender bag and cube but for my 790 luggage I'm going Mosko Moto Reckless 80L.

Perhaps just pannier racks and a tank bag for starters.

confirmed (Or speculation?)

Thanks!
- if 2; under-grip element kit it is!

Eyeballs

It's the same as for 790 Duke.

Awesome! I've used KTM heated grips on three bikes and much prefer the discrete control over the menu driven system I had on my 1190R.

No menu driven heated grips and a real ignition key. Good stuff.

.. I dunno - I just much prefer the ability to choose whatever grips I like - and use a heating “element” kit - if it’s a separate controller, anyway...
- are there any particular benefits to the KTM-branded add-on set, then? (If not hard-wired into the main controls?)
And I’m asking honestly. (@tomdubz; feel free to lend more than just your ‘eyeballs’ here. :) ).

Because otherwise: aren’t the KTM PP ones thicker than standard; and a less aggressive /more street/less off-road suitable grip than say: a dual-compound half-waffle?

All good points! I was focusing on the the differences between the two KTM types and prefer the controls readily available versus embedded in the menu system. Though as you mentioned grips with the heating elements embedded in them (I've ridden with 4 different brands) were all thicker and harder than a dirt bike style grip.

I've got XXL hands so the extra diameter doesn't bother me but at times it would have been nice if they were softer and had a more textured surface. Sadly the two brands of wrap type heating elements I've tried offered very weak heat even on max. Maybe I just haven't tried the right ones.

I have the KTM heated grips on my 1290 SAR and they are very small. I added a thin grip buddy and they're perfect now. On my favorites menu, all you do is push the down arrow and you can adjust the temperature. They work great. I wish they would be integrated into the tft on the 790 but I'm sure as a cost saving they decided not to. I will install them on the 790.
