KTM 990/950 Adv thread

[Waihou Thumper]

Ltd edition. specially ordered in for this guy. Last of the carb models. sticker pack. When this was in the shop there were 3 people wanting to buy it when they saw it (well probably more than that but 3 serious about it)

.........Can do a lot with a special sticker pack aye...

so is it a fairing less adv or is there more to it than that?

[Eddieb]

so is it a fairing less adv or is there more to it than that?

In essense, The frames have different mounting tabs so are different, the suspension is taller, there lots of small differences but in laymens terms ans in 2 words or less, Yes.

?

Care to enlighten us as to why not DJ?

Its not rocket science, but a good 2 into 1 system will shed 8kgs from up under the seat, improve fuel range considerably, reduce the engines heat retention via the cats removal and produce a magnificant sound without bugging the neighbours.

Best $900 or so anyone could throw at a 990!

( oh and of course, they look WAY trick over any 2 can job!!!!!)

I would rather shed 8kg from on top of the seat but it aint gonna work in the short term. You also have some room for a long range tank on one side as well for those moments...You know, those uncomfortable walking moments we may have had in the past...
I like two pipes on a bike, sort of the same reason I like two headlights....
Maybe I am seeing double too much.....
Note to self, get eyes tested......

there was a whole thread on this at aadv riders..I am sure a guy there made a tank to go where the LH muffler went so the bike had a two into one which exits on the r and a 2 gallon tank on the left rear.I thought it was user neduro but i cant find a thread on it

Ok, I understand the weight loss, that makes sense. My factory pipes are de catted so I've already got some weight loss there and the associated heat reduction, but one of those pipes still weighs more than both the FMF's together.

As to the fuel range, is there a gain from going to one pipe or are you referring to the ability to mount a 2nd tank where the pipe once was for greater fuel capacity?

[junkmanjoe]

wouldn't the weight from the fuel and tank = same or even more.

[junkmanjoe]

we made it out this morn for a play, bit of exploring up the forestry tracks..
2 950's and DR650.

some great view up the old logging tracks.

have to return some day soon..

yep the two into one allows the fitting of aux tank in place of the lost muffler

[Eddieb]

I'm aware it allows the fitment of the Neduro tank but the question was whether it's that that DJ is referring to or whether changing the pipe configuration changes the bikes economy in some way.

I'm no rocket scientist alright so its little wonder I'm a bit confused buy the above reasoning as the best $900.00 to spend on ya big Katoom....

The heat/noise reasons can be acheived regardless of twin or single pipes

If you take the $900.00 for the pipe convert, then add say another hummm I dunno...say $800.00 to $1000.00 for a new tank the cost benefit is not such an advantage? add in the addtional fuel & tank weight, then the weight advantage lessons.

The "considerable increase in fuel range" is a bit curious ? If your not refering to the ability to fit an extra tank then in most cases less fuel consumption generally equates to a reduction in performance/power?

Still looks like a personal coice decision to me. If this is fuel capacity debate why not buy a safrai tank they hold more than the small rear ender don't they?

yea it is... running sweet and sounds great..
covered me in clay today....i got to remember not to stay to close next time..
