I had a power commander V + autotune on my 2009 KTM 990 Adv. and somehow the module malfunctioned (or was it autotune - not sure) and the rear piston melted and noticed it from the oil burning (it still operated)! I always had it tuned on the rich side too! Since then I avoid any aftermarket modifications on my bikes. Thanks for the clip.

As far as changes , i went to the adventure mirrors , ditched the hard panniers and frame and went mosko moto reckless 80. Just sold it 3 days ago and built a norden 901 as her replacement

price and options
@johnaquad2 жыл бұрын
the nomad has more configuration options and is alot cheaper . the downside is they are a small company and a gamble for time to receive on top of supply chain and covid issues . it does not come partially assembled and is very intimidating at first but as you install it gets easier thats if you get all the parts and the rite parts . they are great to work with but there are occasional slip ups .

How does the two tanks work in practicality? Is it seamless? Does the switch that moves flow from tanks work well? Would you suggest the LR vs single tank model?
@johnaquad Жыл бұрын
in practicality it works great if you are taking very long trips and it lessons gas stops and lessons keeping up with mileage stress. seamless? yes at the flip of a switch instantly switches pumps . the switch does require some maintenance of cleaning contacts or you can buy and wire up a more water proof switch , the oem switch contacts are subject to corrosion. as far as recommending ? depends on what kinda of distances you plan on traveling. if you want a light adventure adventure bike for long distance travel then yes i recommend it . if you plan on more ruff terrain and tight trails i recommend the standard single tank with rade garage 1gl aftermarket extra tank . the LR is very top heavy making ruff terrain and tight trail's challenging, this one weighs 406 pounds without gear heavy for a trail bike but light for an adventure bike . choose wisely for your type of riding you want
@Coldgecko Жыл бұрын
@@johnaquad Wow, no clue it weighed so much. So the non-LR bike starts off at 342lbs wet. I guess the extra 3 gallons for the LR adds 20 lbs wet. So that means you added over 40lbs of add-ons? I'm learning. I'm coming from a F850GSA weighing in at 550lbs and I took it from Florida to Thailand over 5-6 months and 25,000km -- heavy beast in Kazakhstan, trust me. So I am planning another long range trip and will beef up my bike for safety and reliability and extra fuel range - and if its a 701 then I was wondering which to go with... But over 400lbs is low for me -- but I was hoping it would get to 380lbs all loaded... Guess not. I just want to ensure that if I did get an LR -- that it works properly without any issues.
@johnaquad Жыл бұрын
@@Coldgecko i was under the understanding the LR version is 364lbs wet. that 406 is with some weight loss items like exhaust ect but adding the weight of the tower and the "tool bin bash plate" full of tools, paniers and steering/bar clamp kit , all the extra mods really add up quick. sounds like the LR is more up your ally , your not the first ive heard of asking or actually getting an LR from a F850GSA . now as far as problems most of the problems have been solved , but it is a KTM product and luck of the draw sometimes leads to a problematic bike if that makes sense . their is a group on facbook if you have it that is strictly for the LR if you find and join could be a great place for info
