How difficult was the front end conversion? Was it just a case of mounting the new forks and wheel and then connecting the brakes or was it a case of changing the abs module as well? Id be very interested in doing a mod like this to mine to make the bike taller.

The bike is more than capable of long distance on tarmac, you just need to adjust your speed to 65mph and avoid motorways. The engine is a Husqvarna te630 , which was an Italian Husqvarna merge of the cagiva and husky fourstroke. The dohc and head of the te450/510, it is a strong reliable engine with a nice wide ratio six speed box. The lack of centre stand is easily overcome with an easily available snapjack.

@FranksWay absolutely, light is right, CCM nearly had it right with the gp 450 adventure, 126kg dry, but chose the wrong engine with the bme g450x, ironically they use the swm/husky engine in their spitfire range, but failed to transfer it to the gp for some weird unexplainable reason

Hey FranksWay - my 2007 990 superduke blew its motor. I'm looking at purchasing a 2011 SMT 990 motor and installing it. Think this would work? I know the gearing will be different. Engine cases, cylinder heads, and pistons are the same part numbers. SMT 2011 has a new ECU, dashboard, wiring harness, but the 2011 SMT engine should plug and play into my 2007 Superduke? Any help is much appreciated

Yes in deed as I spent a lot of time deciding that the DR 650 was the bike for me. Time has proved that it was a very good chance. One has only to test a bigger bike to see you do not have the agility. Big power is not really an advantage unless you are only road going.

If you can just buy a DR650 and never sell it, its still arguably the best all rounder today, the KTM 690 is basically a high performance DR650, but its twice the price, more complex, probably less reliable, and do you really need 70hp on an adventure bike?

Where's Yamaha with an Itchy Boots edition 550-600cc single? If they could put shin height 20L 890 tanks on it along with a kick start and decent suspension too that would be great. Other than the amazing handling upgrade you get from those tanks they also offer a lot of crash protection. Instead the manufacturers have decided we want small displacement twins this year.

Hello. I have a 2008 KTM Super Duke 990 R in the USA. I think the second throttle valve stepper motor has failed and I've read that other have deleted these and plugged the holes in the throttle body. The second throttle valves flaps have already been deleted by the previous owner, so the stepper motor serves no purpose anyways other than keeping code clear. Is there a way to delete the stepper motor and keep codes clear? Thank you.

As a long, long time 990 rider, who loves my girl off-road, I've been eyeing the 1290 R since it launched. Once you are hooked on that LC8, and the way the big KTMs play in the dirt, it is hard to go somewhere else. While I don't love all the computers on the latest KTMs and agree that the headlight is shite, it is what it is. Thanks for your measured review and perspectives.

My story exactly. I have a 990 Adv S and with a few years lifespan to go, the newer 1290 R does appeal to me for road trips (mostly offroad) with my wife. I used to do more gnarly adventure bike festivals & skills challenges but at 60 now (still in good physical shape), I now do more risqué stuff with my 690 or, go play in the hills with my 300 to scratch the technical itch. This is to preserve my collectors item. The 890 is a nice bike, but at 6'4" it's too cramped and the 1290R is the only KTM option out there that's roomy enough for my wife and I. So, while my 990 still soldiers on, the 1290R remains in the back of my mind.

Thanks Frank! After more than 15 years, I can't bear to let my 990 go so your tips are helpful. For those that might have an issue with the pad laying against each other when you are trying to get them on the disk (as Frank mentions at 00:03:00) try making a spacer with some stiff cardboard that keeps the pads separated but can be pulled out easily when you get the disk in.
