KTM 990/950 Adv thread

[Taz]

Posers bike.....I don't get it??? All that bling and OEM mufflers???

I heard of someone who built up a KTM 690 Adventure and he doesn't even ride it....

I've not bothered looking but there should be a an engine parts manual as well. The one you linked too is the chassis manual only. I got both in the satchel that came with my bike. The good thing is that there is generally common spec info included as well i.e. bearing sizes, bolt diameters and thread pitch etc. Unfortunately this is not complete i.e. clutch slave cylinder O rings for example (that example is not a big deal though).

Also be careful using the parts numbers for older bikes as when upgraded parts come out they get a new parts number i.e. clutch slave cylinder etc. As I understand the dealerships system knows that a part is superseded and will supply an updated part but I'm not sure if all of the on line systems do this.

There is a link for an Engine PDF on this page: http://www.mikescyclektm.com/04.html however the document appears to be corrupt.

"Oh you are awfull"

The covert spelling change from man (as in post modern expression of exasperation) to "men", changing the context of the text into an unsavoury missrepresentation of the exclamation has got you confused.

I hope that clears that up.

Wow you got some big words there. I'm just a simpleton.

Uni make one. No idea who sells locally. KTMtwins sell them for $49US

Thanks, it looks like Northern accesories are the NZ distributor for Uni.

My local dealer tried to get price and availability details out of Northern Accessories to supply a 950 pre-filter but apparently Northern seemed pretty much unaware they even sold Uni products, despite Uni being listed on the Northern website.

I've just tried to order one direct from Uni Australia, $40Aus including delivery. I think the order worked but their secure payment system closed the site browser window on completion so I didn't get a confirmation that all was good. I've emailed Uni to check whether it went through OK.

I also just picked up a new factory filter this morning so when the pre filter arrives I'll open the girl and put both in.

What's the factory filter worth? Is it better to get a DNA reusable filter (K&N in disguise) - about $250 (I think) though.

Factory filter is $70NZ, bloody good I thought given the size and design of the thing. Mine was ex stock Auckland so took 2 days to get here.

The Uni pre-filter is washable / reusable same as K&N etc, and much easier to get to than the main filter.

The only downside is you loose about 15cm of fording depth, which on a 950 still means you should be able to go about crotch deep.

Yep the only thing limiting the forwarding depth is ya balls, the desire to keep them dry

Yup - this was Cold Kiwi Weekend two years ago, and I think they've only just dropped back out...

Oscar, do you know any easy learner friendly trails / interesting roads near the Kiwi site for a gentle Saturday morning ride?

Not sure if any of you fellas have tried this to break the bead on a LC8 adv but it works really well. Only tried in the garage but handy to know if you in the sticks
