Hey everyone. I'm about to buy my first bike. When I was younger I raced motocross for 5 years (YZ125) a few months back a friend got a Duke 200 and let me ride it. It was fun but it just wasn't enough for me. Should I buy a 26 390? Or just go straight to a 790 and maybe run it in rain mode for a few weeks until I feel comfortable? Also looking at a 2021 triumph street tripple r.

I'm 5'1-5'2 150lbs. When I sat on the Duke 390 the balls of the front of my feet were on the ground. On the triumph I was almost flat footing.

I am mostly doing city commuting. But occasionally using the highway to get across town.

Thanks in advance everyone 😊

I guys im viola

I'm about to buy a 2022 Duke 890. It has low km, but it's still a used bike. What specific things should I pay attention to when I go inspect it?
I've already run a background/title check and everything is clean. It has very few km, and the tires and setup look like they belonged to a 60-year-old who only used it for coffee runs.😂
Any tips or known issues I should check for?

Hi guys.

Just hoping you could give me a little advice. Im having an issue on my 2013 ktm 690 enduro r at the moment where the idling is not instantly coming down after I touch the accelerator.

When I rev the bike to 4k rpm it lingers there for about 1 or two seconds and then drops back down to about 1.5k rpm. I've tried googling and researching for a few hours but cant seem to find anything and its proving difficult to ride when the revs are not instantly dropping back down.

I've cleaned the throttle housing where the accelerator cables attach to the grip and it doesn't seem to be binding or sticking. Id appreciate any advice if you could offer it 🙏🏻

Hi ktm adv bikers please help. I am getting a single tak sound from the front end fork when ever there is an bad patches and in the morning a hump as well (even slow moving ) gives me good single tak sound. Had tightened cone set twice

Hello guys,

I am currently sitting between two chairs. I am trying to decide to get a new 1290 Super Duke R EVO, which is one of the last new 1290 in the country, or get used 1390 Evo for around the same price but with approximately 15.000km already on it. The new 1290 would come with 4 years of warranty, the used one would have the remaining factory warranty (1 year).

Is the 1390 that much better to get the used one or should I just get the new 1290? It would be a 2023 model year.

I already tested the 1290 which was amazing, but now saw the offer for the 1390.

Hi all,

I have a set of unused orange swingarm spools / bobbins from PUIG in the M10 x 1.5 size. Pretty sure this fits the 3rd gen 790, 890 and many other newer generation KTM bikes, however most other bike manufacturers use a 1.25mm thread pitch. KTM just being KTM lol.

Bought these by accident, as my SDGT has a single sided swing arm, and these obviously won't work for me. I've offered them up in random threads as it came up, but everyone who has been interested happened to be outside the US so shipping cost wouldn't make sense.

I'm offering these up for FREE + cost of shipping for anyone in CONUS (most likely less than $10, depends where you live and if you want USPS or UPS or dont care). I have to ship out a couple other things later this week, so it wont be an issue for me to drop this package off too.

PM me if youre interested, and just to discourage people from trying to snag them to resell or something, send a pic of your bike and what you love (or hate) most about it so I know you're a real person haha. First come first serve as long as you follow my request.

Mods, please delete this if its not allowed, as I know this isnt a sales forum. I just figured this was the most straightforward way to get rid of these and find someone that needs them.

Thanks!

I am wanting to add 6th gear to my 2020 KTM 450 XC-F. Anything I should know beforehand or special advice about the parts or process? Thanks guys

I have duke 200pro 2026 model
3800km done and showing me service indication?

Do i need to do 2nd service?

I just got my second bike, the Ktm Duke 790 (2023 a2 restricted). And it only has the quick shifter + unlocked. Are the other benefits worth the 500€ ?

Hi ktm adv people, recently bought ktm 350 adv having two issues.

1. A single tak sound from the front end of the bike while going on even small potholes and humps. Got into sc they tightened the cone set but still it is there.

2. A continuous tak tak sound comming from rear end when going on rough patches of the road. Asked SC guy told that its due to chain slapping against chain slider. Dont know whether is genuine or not

Please help i am new to sc replies 🙏

weird click sound at around the 12sec mark . happened after cold start. sounds like a stone chip hitting the underbody of a car. does anyone know what it could be? bike has done 31500kms
