New and improved KTM690 WUNDERFEST

[WIsixfitty]

simple question (I think).

What is the valve check interval?


I checked the lc4/690 index but nothing jumped out at me.

I can tell you what 690 says.
Section 9 in my 2013 690 owners manual says 10,000 KM's. it used to be 7,500 KM's. I gonner get mine done at 5,000KM's.

A link to 2011 au model here, check valve clearance page 52 7,500KM's

I did not check the valves on my 2009 690r until 6,000 miles-about 10,000Km and they were all tight and just barely in spec.

Yeah I'm concerned about doing an inspection on Cam Rollers and Cam Roller Bearings rather then the valves

I have just installed a Safari tank on my 2010 690 and am having trouble fitting my Renazco seat back on the bike with the tank on. The Olympic way to install the seat is to put it on with he tank unbolted and then bolt the tank down. I have the tank installed as high as possible and still be able to bolt it up, so what am I doing wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

I'm pretty sure the Rally Raid guard had been sitting around for a year before the Sigutech group buy... check!

Rattle canned the guard and finally got around to it on this dreary southern winter day.

I have a Corbin seat and a Safari tank. The seat fits very tight under the tank. The front mounts on the frame & seat need to be removed. The previous owner also left off the tank bracket up front. No need for it.

Thanks d2d. I will remove the bracket for the seat.

6K miles. Every time my intakes were tight, When I got about 18K miles on the bike they were always out of spec tight. The 690's definitely a bike you don't want to go past the interval without checking. It's simple to do and cheap to shim when needed.

Yesterday I learned why the rollover sensor exists.
No pics. However, my Ginger threw me to the ground in slow deep sand. The wheels ended up above the handlebars. Rollover kill worked great. I had to cycle the power to start up again.

I've decided that feature will stay on my bike.

I'm totally satisfied with how my forks are working. The shock need TLC bad. Taking it off to give it to the surgeon this week. Forks I can do. Shocks are wayyyy over my head.

Made up a set of these this weekend. Worked good .

I'm busy fitting the RR Evo 2 kit. After getting the principle bits fitted, I took it for a shake-down run. Everything was fine. Today messed around with getting the headlight aligned, getting fairings to fit and cleaned up the cockpit wiring.

When I wanted to take it for a run this evening, it started and idled fine. When I opened the throttle, it would either bog or flame out. It is possible to pick up revs when I open the throttle very slowly. Wicking it at any RPM causes a flame-out. It has fuel and no errors are display. All fuses OK.

Any ideas? I'm keen not to un-install everything.

Pinched fuel line?

I'm also leaning towards low fuel pressure.
