Fuel Tank Removal, Emissions equipment removal for GT

[dasjefe]

I like the orange engine guards. Is that aftermarket or did you paint the stock ones?

[AndyW]

Stock items blasted and powder coated...RAL2004, nearest 'pure' colour match, KTM orange is obviously a blend. The colour match is not perfect but as the parts are not close to any oem orange parts, good enough.

Just admiring your bike Andy, Full system-nice, i see you fitted the ESE, hiding the plug is awkward, i see you zip tied it to the frame, i made a bracket up for the rear brake fluid container, looks similar to yours, did you do the rotweiler O2 sensor removal plus and dongles?, seems to help with the low end fueling i found.

Hi Dave, I'll look for a tidier solution for locating the ESE (if possible) when I get time.....maybe when the tank is next off it could tuck under the rear of it somewhere.
SAS and Evap cannister physically removed and dongles for the electronics - O2 sensors left in place and active as I've got Hilltop Motorcycles ECU 'tune' which actually benefits from the O2's being in place still. Very happy, all running good, propably as smooth as you can get at low rpm e.g 30 and 40mph at constant throttle in 3rd and 4th respectively....pulls from 3000+ rpm (gentle'ish throttle). Not I4 smooth but then this is a big V Twin.

I have read plenty of good feedback on the Rottweiler fuelling/O2 dongles (other brands are available lol) but obviously a remap of some sort and/or Dyno work is best.

Exhaust hanger is still my own fix, ok but not as neat as I'd like....waiting on mate to complete a CAD drawing for a bespoke hanger

Anyone thinking of fitting the SDR Akrapovic EVO full system.....be aware, it's not too easy in some respects

Seems the photos in the first post have disappeared again. I’m digging under the tank looking for the O2 connector from rear cyl and was hoping to lift the rear of tank enough to find it but no luck.

Anyone else see the photos or maybe just my problem?

Thanks!

G'day Vinjah......

Same as you...... photo's are gone from the first post...... all called 'image' now

I use a laptop and google home page for access (I know, so old skool/out of date ) so i think it might be a forum archive thing as Tancarkar has moved on to another brand.

cheers

Aussie Dave-- you are a king among men! Thank you thank you!! This is going to get me moving in the right direction. Thanks mate!

(I work in a University library and people ask me all the time why libraries still exist... after all there's Google. Well, this is a small example of how nothing is permanent. And Aussie Dave proved how having a secondary repository is a very good thing!)

Glad to be of assistance........ also very glad I had the 'brain snap' to save Tanc's procedure as I have not yet attempted to remove my fuel tank........ still trapped by warranty period (2 years here in Aus) but also nothing has needed attention/forced me to go under the hood as yet.

When I am allowed to ride again, and clock up enough kms to get the 15,000km service done I'll have my KTM tech's install my K & N airfilter as well as do the fuel pump and brake plunger recall........ in the meantime I'm just running the motor up to full temp each month and charging the battery..... waiting for the day I'm given the all clear to get back into driving & riding.......

OK, loyal subject, bow before your mighty ( ) king and I will knight you....... if I'm allowed to lift this heavy sword......

Best wishes from the dark side of the planet......
