    New toy time!


    Just picked up a new KTM 690 Enduro R over the weekend. Cant wait to finish running it in and get out on some more adventurous rides
    Selling the GSA very soon. Was just time for a change. Still have a soft spot for the GS's and would definitely own one again. Fantastic bikes.

    Let the farkling begin! (just picked up touring screen and handlebar damping system).

    Two things you will want to do.
    Replace that exhaust (love my Leo Vince)
    Remove the 2&3rd gear restriction

    Congrats on the new bike. It is a total fun machine. Theres lots of mods you can do for adventure riding on the 690; I would recommend an aftermarket exhaust and seat along with the screen. Keep the oil changed regularly and get the valve clearances checked anually and you'll have no worries.

    Welcome to the OC
    ....wherezz that track go

    Hehe.
    Already ordered an FMF 4.1 Racing (with quiet insert). Should be here in the next week or so. Fitted the handlebar damping last night. Picked up the screen - just need to find the right drill bit to drill the holes in the mask. Will do the derestriction once she's run in. K's not happening so fast at the moment because i'm busy but have signed up to a riverhead ride at the start of march.
