Road trip up Mt. Parnitha, on a cold, wet, foggy day. With the KTM 990 Adventure

Tempature was around 4c, but with the proper clothes, KTM heated grips and touring Windscreen, I was kept both dry and warm for 140km of wet weather driving.

DNA Air Filter for KTM 990 Adventure

I just installed the DNA Air Filter for my 990. The difference is obvious. More low end torque and high end power. It put me back around 120 Euros. However the factory filter needs changing with every big service, but this one can be cleaned and re-used, making it cheaper in the long run. Has anyone else used this? Please post!

KTM 990 Adventure S Vs Kawasaki zx10

This is what I like about this bike: It does it all (almost). Goes on long trips loaded up and with a passanger, can go on enduro rides, and (like I did the other day) can out-accelerate a Street Kawasaki Ninja 1000cc (At least untill 180km/h...). The grip off the line is just increadible!

Wheel balancing for KTM 990 Adventure

I had started feeling a small vibration while at high speed (Over 170km/h). It was finally just a case of unbalanced wheels. Make sure you do so on the Adventure, because the large diameter of the wheels (In comparison with 17") makes the vibration even more noticable IMO. Now at 200km/h I can hold on with one hand (Or so to speak). Also it is best using the lead weights that stick on the rim rather than those on the spokes.

The 990 Adventure on the road

 

The KTM 990 Adventure loaded up and ready to go. Even with the KOBI cases, Roll bag, Tank bag (All full), passanger and a head wind, the bike could easilly cruise with 180 km/h. The range was also pretty good. Around 10L/100km. When cruising at 150km/h the consumption would reduce to around 7L/100km! (with the Akra mapping)

Garmin/Touratech For KTM 990 Adventure

I have a Garmin NUVI 510, and just ordered a lockable support bracket from Touratech (130 Euros) for the 990 Adventure. The original one I had from Garmin with my KTM 690 enduro was no good...

My 990

One recent change I made on my KTM 990 Adventure was swapping the original 'magura' clutch slave cylinder, with one from 'oberon' (UK based). It's made better, it looks better and it works better. Around 170 Euros inc Post.
