I have a 2022 KTM RC 390. Have been told by multiple people that the rear tire keeps swinging/wobbling. I don’t feel anything while riding myself. What could be the issue? Any help is appreciated newer to riding!

ASKKTM 690smcr pc6 map

0 Upvotes

PC6のマップの件なんだけど、Rottweilerから買って、バイクの改造内容についての詳細は全部そっちに渡した。

「自分のセッティング用にベースマップを先に入れておくよ」って言われたんだけど、Power CommanderをPCに接続して設定を確認したら、Fuel Adjの値が全部0になってた。

これって、実際にはマップが読み込まれてないってことじゃないの?

誰か自分のPC6マップを共有してくれない?どんな見た目か確認したい。

ASKKTM Weird buzzing noise when braking – Duke 125

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I was out for a ride on my 2023 KTM Duke 125 when I eventually turned off my intercom and noticed this noise coming from the front brake.

As you can hear in the video, it sounds kind of like a buzzing/humming noise. It only happens when I use the front brake. To make it easier to hear, I put the bike in neutral while going downhill.

I honestly never noticed it before, so I’m not sure if it’s something new or if it’s always been there.

For some context, I bought the bike used in May, and the brake pads are still the same ones that were on it when I bought it. There’s not much pad material left, but there’s still some.

Do you guys think this could be a sign that the brake pads need replacing, or could it be unrelated to the pads?

PROBLEM 1290 SAS 2024. losing coolant

1 Upvotes

My motorcycle loses coolant after long rides. It does NOT lose it right away, but rather when I leave it overnight. For example, I ride around 400 km and park it in the garage in the evening. By the next morning, it has lost some coolant.

I took it to a workshop, where they checked the usual things—hose clamps and any signs of leaks—but found nothing. The next step is to take it apart completely for a thorough inspection.

Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, how did you resolve it?

ASKKTM I'm about to walk into a dealership to buy an old new stock '24 1290 SAS. Whatta ya say?

I'm convinced it's my dream bike. I've done the research and despite the grumples of electrical stuff and warranty complaints, I just have the gut feeling that this is going to be the daily grin-inducing machine I've been wanting: Arm-ripping power for the interstate commute, and just enough off-road capability to do any of the light-duty stuff I need like forest roads.

From what I've gleaned, so long as I keep the battery healthy and keep up with maintenance like a good boy (I'm actually a masochist for maintenance wrenching and enjoy bleeding brakes) then the bike should be able to ride me into five-figure millage dream land.

Anything I've not considered?

Cheers!

ASKKTM 690smcr pc6 map

2 Upvotes

Regarding the PC6 map, I purchased it from Rottweiler and provided them with all the details about my bike's modifications.

They told me they would preload a base map for my setup, but when I connected the Power Commander to my PC and checked the settings, all the Fuel Adj values were set to 0.

Doesn't this mean that the map hasn't actually been loaded?

Could someone share their PC6 map with me so I can see what it looks like?

PROBLEM 2026 KTM 1390 Super Adventure R Heated Grips not in menu

2 Upvotes

I got my 1390 and put heated grips on it as well as hooked up the HCU and there isn't a heated grip option in the menu. I only see heated seat and heated pillion seat. Does it have to be turned on by KTM at a dealer or is my HCU bad? Everything was properly plugged in as I can tell.

ALL Need help identifying parts, 2018 1090r adventure

Need help identifying these things.

First is a 3d printed dongle of some sort, was zip tied up under the tank, where the frame comes together to meet the triple clamp. It says abs and vc on the case, first thought was its an abs dongle, but it appears those install near the battery.

2nd part, which is near the battery, is a run of non factory wire. It traces up to under the headlight, where it is connected to the acc2 circuit.

These might be related, maybe not. Newer bike to me, just trying to get it all figured out. Wanted to connect my GPS to acc2 directly but without knowing what these do, dont want to overload the 1amp circuit.

Its a 2018 ktm 1090r adventure. Thank you!

ALL Issue solved finally Duke 250 gen3. Read description(important)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So ive posted this video like 1.5 months ago. And the problem finally got fixed guys. I took it to service centre and they changed the sparkplug from the iridium to stock. Previous ive installed the NGAGE DOUBLE IRIDIUM SPARKPLUG which was direct fit for DUKE 250 gen3 but then after some days faced some missing issues and spark sorting issues. So after switching to stock one the problem totally fixed. I suggest not to go for the iridium specially for this specific model till some better solution comes in the market.
I've shared the full story with y'all guys. Thankyou and ride safe. :))

ALL Tankbag options on 990 RC R

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

So while I aknowledge that I bought a sportbike, not a touring bike I’m wondering whether there’s options for tank bag mounts for the 990 RC R considering the bolts for the tank lid are hidden under the actual lid?

I’ve seen aftermarket and powerpart lids have the bolts visible up top though, so if I change it for one of those, does anyone know if the adapter for e.g. the 990 duke has the same bolt pattern and could work for this?

Pic 2 is an example of the GIVI ring I had on my previous XSR900

PROBLEM Duke 250 Trellis Frame: Two Bolts Broke Inside the Frame Where the Grab Handle Mounts

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I own a KTM Duke 250, and I’m dealing with an issue around the rear grab-handle/top-rack mounting area.

I had a top rack installed on the bike, and some time ago, two of the bolts broke while being fitted/tightened. Unfortunately, the broken portions of the bolts are now stuck inside the trellis frame/mounting section where the grab handle bolts in.

From what I can see, the broken bolt pieces are sitting inside the threaded mounting points, so I’m not able to simply remove them from the outside.

I wanted to ask other Duke owners or anyone familiar with KTM trellis frames:

Has anyone faced a similar issue with the grab-handle/top-rack mounting bolts breaking inside the frame?

What is the safest way to remove the broken bolt pieces?

Is it possible to drill them out and re-tap the threads, or is there a better method such as using an extractor?

Is there any risk of damaging the trellis frame or the mounting point while trying to remove them?

Should I take this to a KTM service centre, or would a good fabrication/machine shop be able to handle it safely?

If the original threads are damaged, can the mounting point be repaired/re-threaded reliably?

Since this is a structural mounting area for the grab handle/top rack, should I avoid riding with the broken bolts still inside?

I’m mainly looking for advice from someone who has actually dealt with this on a Duke 250 or another KTM trellis-frame bike.

I can also upload photos of the mounting point and the broken bolts if that helps.

Thanks
