Hi Rob, not sure if I already mentioned it but I bailed out from KTM. Mid last year I had a stupid long wait for recall parts to be supplied/fitted. Then my dealer gave up his KTM franchise and he informed me of the upcoming financial problems for KTM. I managed to sell the bike at my asking price and then buy a brand new pre-reg speed twin at a massive discount with 4 years warranty, road tax and the first service thrown in. I have to say that I never had a problem with the KTM and my dealer threw in The full tech pack at no cost. I dont regret buying the KTM but I am pleased to have got out of it at the right time. I’m looking forward to some more relaxed rides on the ST this year and won’t stop watching your vids just coz the SDR has gone. Take care, regards Paul

Thanks and congrats on the new ride. Was your dealer Kestral, as that was my local one who just disappeared over night. I don’t think the SDR will go due to the silly money that’s offered by for them but we will see.
@pauljoel45145 сағат бұрын
My dealer was Popes down here in Gosport (near Portsmouth). KTM just kept making more and more demands on him so he let the franchise go meaning my nearest dealer was 50+ miles away. It was the final thing to drive my decision. 👍

3:10 The tools included in the SM700 i got are quite handy and ok quality. Very well thought they include a plier, a multi head T screwdriver and many socket and screwdriver heads, as well a front and rear axle tool that combos with the preload adjuster, which seems pretty tough. Some Torx Ls too. There is some extra space that could maybe fit a small tyre repair kit or other necessities. The funny thing is that you need one of the torx Ls to remove the side panel on the first time. Then, you put the torx snugly in a dedicated slot on the inderside of the seat. In KTM 690s the side panel is divided in two and the panel that hides the tools can be removed without any tool. Very clever design.

@RobbiemotoАй бұрын
Thanks. I appreciate that. You feel the main difference when riding in slow moving traffic or around town riding. Standard the bike is lean and so you’re having to ride the clutch more along with constantly feathering the throttle. ECU tune is the best way to go. Dongle fools the bike into thinking it’s cold and so pumps more fuel in.

2020 KTM 1290 Super Duke R - the "Race-on" button, key, or whatever the manufacturer calls it, isn’t working. The issue is signaled by the dashboard flashing 4 times. The root cause? An oxidized ribbon cable and soldering point inside the steering lock mechanism. Even if the cable doesn’t look separated like in the photo, it can still be faulty because the wires inside the cable itself might have oxidized. Get a pro to fix this - if you mess it up, you might permanently damage the part.

At the time these bikes were pretty close to stock and just an after market exhaust on the 690 isn’t gonna make a huge difference between the two. A stock comparison won’t be possible now as both bikes are now modified with a remap, fuel dongle and exhausts.
@RIKWIDАй бұрын
@@Robbiemoto interesting - whenever I complain about how little power the 690 had after my test ride, everyone tells me they're like that stock and they really need an exhaust to open it up.

It does make a bit of a difference but it’s not huge. These bikes were pretty much on par.
