KTM 990/950 Adv thread

[offrd]

wish it was worth a million bucks as well.

offrd whens your new slave cylinder arriving, and whats the cost for the item and freight.

JMJ

Still waiting to hear that its on the way! was 244 inc freight NZBucks
306 for the org KTM heap of scrap metal! so worth a shot if they are as good as read to believe!
Fingers crossed!

Dont think i will bother dealing with XXXmoto, still waiting for a price for the cylinder and quote for service n tune. Better luck getting it done in china! Yes please i will have melamine in my oil.

Thats a very funny photo....just look at the front fork stantion, not much travel there.
He's doing it....but, right tools for the job.
Bet he wished for an off roader later

That's quite possibly an effective gravel hill climb weapon. The shorter & stiffer suspension, and reduced wind resistance, MAY be an advantage over the longer-legged 990 Adventure.

[junkmanjoe]

would have a low COG, well lower than those EXCs and SXs in the photo. Would be a shit load of scary fun

You Know your a 9XX owner when . . .

You pin the throttle and the front wheel doesnt come up, the rear wheel goes down.

you know you're a 950 owner when, you change rear tires more often than the oil.

...you are riding on a dirt frontage road and are passing motorcycles riding on the interstate.

...your only worry on a teeth-rattling, sweaty, rocky, slippery and rutted off-camber trail is whether the temp gauge will stay below 7 bars.

You have small giggle to yourself each time you ride your bike.

You hear the words "How did you get that big thing in here?"

You're the only rider in town to upgrade your bike to a more restrictive 2 into 1 exhaust.

You add bar risers so you can ride your streetbike standing up more comfortably.

Ha ha - every time I ride

[junkmanjoe]

there just had to be a adventure in the middle of that lot..

[Waihou Thumper]

new clutch lever fitted tonight,, crashing just became expensive....

JMJ

Yes, things aren't cheap.....I know the Suzuki levers fit, I bought one for the 640, cost $16....KTM lever $48, so I could trash three before buying the KTM one....You might wanna have a look at that and get a couple.
