KTM Super Twins Forum

Nice bike, welcome to the forum. The Beast is just as much fun as you can have on the street. and comfortable to boot.

Congrats and welcome, I love the way this bike handles! I read all the reviews that complain and I get that the front is light but try and get an I4 to tighten its line mid turn or better yet toss one from side to side, forget about it. as to the power being comparable...just wait for whats coming a...

This bike does ok at low rpm's in the first 3 gears but try and keep it above 4k in 4-6th that will also help with the lash of which you speak. I've broke in 2 1290 SDR's now and only having 3-6500 rpm's to play in gets boring really quick, besides I read motoman's break in page and it made sense so...

they look so nice when they're clean

I think it depends if the bike is 14-16 or later? either way I passed on the mini arrow cat and got a mid pipe with a couple bends to it for back pressure for both my 15 and 16 model. Both bikes were considerably louder than stock with the cat removed, but still quieter than the modded harleys aroun...

somebody nicked you when parked

I was in the same boat last year after a kid on an atv pulled out in front of my 2015 sdr and totaled it. I wanted a BLACK SDR and my ins ck was $15,350. The best I could find was $18,500 2017, $13,200 2016 orange or $16,250 2016 SE. No black leftovers anywhere I could find so I bought the se becaus...

I'm keeping an eye on it. so far it hasn't repeated and running temp is normal.

I meant to post there was a puddle of coolant about 3-4 oz worth on the floor and there doesn't appear to be any gasket leaks. The oil in the sight glass looks normal and the little plastic coolant reservoir is dry. Any suggestions to why the bike decided to release several oz's after a ride? I'll a...

I get done from an 80 mile ride saturday evening and park my bike in the garage then sunday morning there's a good size puddle of what appears to be water under it?

Congrats! The mirrtors work great. Enjoy your new beast.

As we all find out after the 600 mile service the back lighting on the instrument cluster goes off during the day. Is there any way to get it back? I can't see sh!t.

When I read the title I thought it was a joke. I like how it came out.

Awesome bike! nearly 15,000 miles later and still laughing every time I ride mine.

He probably saw what they cost new and retracted! Apparently KTM considers the stock can worth $650. as the promo Akra in spring of 2016 for new leftover 2015's was valued at $350, same as the ins paid out when bike was totaled. Akra's prices are just stupid!

Go ahead and buy the tuono, you know you want it, it stole the show this year in every shootout and I think the Italians have figured out how to get more than 20 mpg out of that motor! personally still reading to many problems over on that site tho they seem to get better every year.

I used a bodis midpipe with the akra slip on and akra map and got slightly different results from my 2015 than my 2016 and I think the 2017 is similar to the 'GT' models in that just swapping the mid pipe and downloading the map will screw things up! if you have the arrow with the small cat built in...

thanks for the reply. I asked my dealer about the midpipe swap and they said ktm wouldn't void the warranty for doing it so long as it was done responsibly, which I took to mean if my conversion didn't cause a malfunction I would be allright, coarse factory warrantys and aftermarket are different be...

My 2016se warranty will expire early summer and i'm wondering if getting an extended one is worth the money? I managed 10,500 on my 2015 incident free and I didn't baby that beast. I join forums of bikes i'm interested in to help me decide and the aprilia forum convinced me I won't be buying a tv4 a...

The shops here get $75 to change the tire on a bike I ride in so longer lasting tires will pay for themselves. We do have a guy locally that will change tires for $25 if I bring the wheel in, but i'm the guy that would get in a hurry and knock the bike off the stand working on it so anything more en...
