KTM 690 Mega thread rev 2.0 E/R/RR/SM/SMC/Duke/Duke R

Seth S · 09-07-2011, 08:36 PM

As they say: " Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptangya Ziiinnggggggg Ni" the old thread is no more. The new thread for 690 questions, banter, comments etc is here. This thread will reside in the background and will slowly be used in an attempt to catalog the 690 collective into a helpful and easier to navigate region. I'll try to avoid a massive pile of links except for specific threads like the exhaust thread etc. I'll try to pull the actual problems out and then put down the resulting fixes etc. This will take some time. PM info is appreciated.

Here are some of the documents that you can freely download off of the KTM site. (thanks to Ini88 for the assist)

These are for the 2011 690R *there are differences between the 2011 and the earlier bikes*

Ooooh! Kudos for your method of organization

Reserve twice as much space as you think you'll need, AMHIK.

I'll nuke this post once we get going here - so as not to mess with your flow.

Here is a link for a 690 Website someone has already started. I don't know who, what or how but came across it one day and saved the link.

It really jacks me off loosing the last thread . I spent several nights last week going through it & writing down the pages of the info & links I needed . ie removing the sas , making a tip over sensor bypass ( for emergency ) doing the 2nd 3rd gear limiter , fuel line & filter fixes etc & are about to start these jobs . Hope you guys don`t mind if all these questions get asked again when the time comes .

Great news that your bike is going again Uller .

Seth S · 09-08-2011, 07:32 AM

Bartron has an excellent thread that has pictures and instructions for all the usual fixes and mods. All the info is posted at the beginning so you don't have to wade through hundreds of pages of irrelevant posts.
