New and improved KTM690 WUNDERFEST

That is indeed a rubbermaid! I was shaking, wet and cold @ Target when I bought it and they just gave it to me..

Sorry I can't get any pics of the cases right now as the bikes out of the country (or I am depending on your perspective). They are 1550's with the KTM hardparts rack. Quick thoughts on the set up:

Waterproof and tough
Fairly easy to access the box on the side OPPOSITE the kickstand, but if I did it over I'd have a top loader on the kickstand side.
I can pick the bike off the ground with the pelican handles so pretty impressed there.
Off road they often smash my foot; even worse they encourage bad riding habits to keep from smashing foot again; at the same time they do protect the bike in a fall (and maybe your leg too).
I put reflectors on the bike and it probably makes the back of the bike 3X as visible to approaching traffic.

Not the 1550's like Ricky's but the 1500

Thanks for the input folks.

Cheers,

I have the lowering link on mine & it works fine...I still need to shorten my kickstand so it will lean over a little more...

Thanks - sounds familiar - would be great if you were able to find out the map that was loaded - lots of them to chose from ...

I've no experience with the lowering links but just thought I'd mention I was amazed how much better my '11 does over washboardy type terrain, big hits, stairs etc than the 08 and the whole time I'm riding it I'm thinking it that the difference 1" of travel made in the rear end? I've no idea if lower links would take it back to the 08 harshness or not,...

Need to get my boingers all taken care of for my weight and the TAT this summer.

Who are people using today. I was thinking of sending them to KTMworld, any other suggestions out there???

Apparently the shop did investigate the oil filter and all OK ...

Thx for the heads up. I think I will give the lowering link a go just cause it is so cheap.

Cover didn't need modifying, I couldn't get the it to work by flipping the axel. may be me if others have been able to. I'll give it another go.

is it possible to add a tacho/rpm gauge to an R model?

Koso makes some nice stuff! Anything can be done..

I have one available I'm taking off of the bike I just got. Pm me if you want it.

thanks i had a look , the seperate meters use a wire wrapped around a HT lead for the signal, no use on the 690 though.

Man, this bike is sweet, but boy do I hate being 5"8. I might have to sell it or trade it for a different bike. Gonna try a link first.

Get Back Honkey Cat-

Getcha some riding boots sorta like these-they work for me.



Or a pair of laceup lumberjack boots like these

Awesome

I recently had some problems with mt 690. It would just die during a ride and no fault code ect, Wouldn't start, trailer it home and in a few hours it would be fine. Anyhow this happened a few times so I checked all the wiring, all good. Pulled the fuel pump and a small piece of foil had blockced the fuel pick up, would fall off when left to sit then suck it bck up again.
Anyhow a cheap fix.
