Re: A New Chapter -KTM 690 Set Up
Been a long time since I posted here. I see this thread gets a ton of views, but not a lot of comments :thinking: I still ride this bike and still very much like the 690 platform. I'll try to catch up on where I've gone since we left off. Basic bike with the RR tanks is still unchanged. I upgraded t...

Re: Kids 2 Stroke for woods bikes?
Well, I can chime in as well. I believe the 2 strokes are great trail bikes for kids, but I would strongly suggest going KTM I'm not sure about the YZ 65, but the KTM was/is the only 65 with a power valve. What that gets you is a very tunable power delivery, just like the big bikes. Yes you can make...

Is there a place to get the single trail maps. I checked the Mclean creek map but it is missing a ton of trails.

Re: A New Chapter -KTM 690 Set Up
One thing 690 & 701 owners should know is that flipping the tank up for easy access to the fuel pump is the ticket to quick services. IMG_5868.JPG One of the only down sides to this is that the stock lower connection is two bolts into a hollow threaded sleeve. While this in itself is not a huge deal...

Re: A New Chapter -KTM 690 Set Up
Thanks DB for the encouragement. I hope that people get something out of this. It's always possible to make a great bike better through a few mods, and I believe that set up is EVERYTHING. The best bike with bad set up is the worst, and visa versa... The rides on this bike are better and better and ...

Re: A New Chapter -KTM 690 Set Up
I've really been enjoying this bike, and the places I'm seeing are all new (to me) and fantastic. I have been playing around with gearing a bit, as these bike have a close ratio transmission, and my gearing for technical riding has me reaching for 7th gear a lot on the road. I've been running 15/50,...

Re: A New Chapter -KTM 690 Set Up
Still sorting out all the small details that aren't necessarily a priority, but make the ride easier in some small way. This time it's a set of fork bleeders (quality Motion Pro ones), and some small damping adjustment knobs for the forks, because well, they're orange :D I plan for some suspension s...

Re: A New Chapter -KTM 690 Set Up
It was a great day to get out yesterday, although the ride was shorter than I hoped. The two track around my place is slick, with black loam and ice just below the surface. Not to mention some big puddles...

Re: A New Chapter -KTM 690 Set Up
Yeah, in regard to the rotopax it puts the weight high and aft of the rear axle, kind of where you don't want it. For pavement rides I'm sure it's great, but I don't do many of those. I had to order the bottles from Amazon USA, as I could not find a Canadian seller. About $30 each or so. although th...

Re: A New Chapter -KTM 690 Set Up
It's lighter and quieter, although I only run it with the insert. Also came with a little muffler key chain and a t-shirt so :thumbsup: I'll post some pictures when I get my shipment from dualsportplus. Im sure I'll upgrade to the wings once I get busy with work again, as it's still relatively quit...
