So I got my 21' KTM 125 Duke a month ago (loving it) but i wanna get a small toolkit that i can either store under the passenger seat or in a small bag on my person.

Any Suggestions would be great :)

2013 ktm 450 exc in the service manual it only mention it effects lever distance and not engagement can anyone confirm as well thank you

Hi, wondering if anyone has encountered similar problems to me. My little brother has brought himself a KTM RC125cc from 2016 it has less than 5k miles on it and seemed a good buy. He came to show it to me today and I gave a lil test ride. Seems to run great. Now I’ve cleaned it for him as it need one and as he went to set off it wouldn’t start so I’ve thought must be some water maybe in the spark plug and I understand the spark plug is on top of the engine so might have water. I’ve checked it and it’s bone dry, checked other connections and found nothing out of order. The bike’s fuel pump primes normally and dash lights fine and it wants to start but won’t. After trying a while I was worried about burning out starter motor. I forgot to check air filter so proceeded to and found oil in it a large amount after checking I discovered it has very little amount of oil, after cleaning airbox and replacing air filter I tried starting again and the had a massive backfire and have now run out of battery to start again. I will charge the battery and try again but am unsure what has happened if it’s coincidence gland help would be much appreciated.

So picked this bike up a couple days ago noticed the leak not to long ago so now I just wana know how to fix it would a cylinder base gasket do the job or would I need more parts (https://fortnine.ca/en/ktm-cylinder-base-gasket-77230035000) that is the gasket im getting thanks let me know what I can do to fix this

I have a 21 500 excf with a Midwest mountain engineering clutch lever. Love the feel of it, and want a matching brake lever. Can anyone confirm if MME still takes orders? Or if there are other similar options you like, let me know!

I love the 2016 and up plastics, would it be possible to fit a full kit (airbox and seat included) on my 2015? I know it will need modifications but how big of a modification, and will the plastics line up to each other??

Please help

I installed a Coober decat pipe

I didn’t see a washer present

Maybe it was crushed or it stayed in place?

I am reading about damage caused by leaks (burning up a valve)

I used soapy water

I do not see or hear a leak

But it’s unusual that there wasn’t some type of washer

Any experience with this ?

TY

Ktm rc 390

The night I got it home I signed up for my first hare scramble at tamarack. It had been sitting for a couple years so we ordered a fuel pump and i managed to get the old one working again. haven’t changed it out yet. mostly stock with suspension work. I can’t say enough good things about the IRC VE33S or the Bridgestone M59. photos are newest to oldest.

Been running the Dunlop Q5 up front and Q5S 190/55 rear. You?

So umm i rode my bike 5.5k km its a new bike i hav it for 6 months nd i dont know whether this is the right sound of this engine i feel sus nd this sound is far better before the ride nd very irritatingly bad after completin a ride .. so guys comment ur opinion

The state of my swing arm after 5000kms

Any body with the same problem?

So a little bit ago o asked about any graphics kit recommendations and I decided to keep those plastics with the stock stickers but recently my friend has offered to give me his 22 plastics as he's replacing it. Anyone has experience with those plastics or know of them fit? I've looked it up and Google isn't sure.

Reposting here since I didn’t get any replies. I have scoured the web and have found conflicting information. I wanted to know if anyone has installed one of these and what their thoughts are. Thanks! 🏍️

I did it boys & girls 😎💪

Bought this 2014 350exc Six days today.

Nice that it has low, mid and wild power adjustability, did not know that.

As iam just doing slow "old mans enduro" the slow one was fine for me today.

So it has a recluse.

Actually not sure how I fell about that. (I can understand there are a lot of mixed opinions about recluse.. If I have understood it correctly it helps with some things and removes the possibility for a few things,, right? Like clutch ups??

It has a tubeless in the front hmm.. two separate air valves.. need to read up on what pressures could be good for me, for slow enduro in damp Danish forests.

If you have an advice or 2 regarding pressures in such an Xgrip front tubesless tire. Feel free to tell me.

And maybe also a tip or two in regards to that recluse 😁

Thanks a lot!

Iam looking forward to reading up on these bikes.

Hey yall

I have 2018 1290sar and a few weeks ago I tried to lock the handle and from then on its not starting. The light on the screen is flashing 4 times which according to the manual means the steering lock is stuck or something. I can move the handle left to right without any problem. The battery is new, keyfob battery new. This issue happened before and when I turned the handle right to left it started again but this time its not.

I have tried moving the handle rapidly, unplugged the battery for 1 day but no luck. Would appreciate your help guys!

2023 KTM SuperDuke 1290.

Today the "Key Battery Low" warning came on the dash during my ride. So I buy new Duracel CR2032 3v batteries ($5) and change the battery. Warning light still on. Then I do some research and see some folks reporting that a low bike battery may contribute to this, so I charge and check the battery, which is fine. Then I read that the "bitter" coating on the Duracel batteries to prevent kids from eating them may interfere with the connection, so I try to clean the battery with rubbing alcohol. Warning light still on. Now I'm considering ordering different batteries that don't have the "bitter" coating ($6).

All of this because some genius decided to replace a standard key that worked perfectly fine with a keyfob. What improvement has this made in the life of anyone who rides a motorcycle (or drives a car for that matter)? We went and screwed up something this basic, thereby creating an electrical problem where one didn't need to exist.

Having said that, if anyone has experienced a similar issue and knows the solution, do tell. While I started the bike, I didn't ride it yet to see if the warning light would go out but I understand that shouldn't be necessary.

Been wanting to trade duke in for an RC 990. None available in my area.

please guide me in comments

Changed new oil, gasket, filter, screens on my svart 401 2024 by myself bfr 500 kms. Noticed that the top right part of gasket was sticking out yesterday (was perfect when changed oil & stuff). Naturally I wanted to know why so removed the oil filter cap & inspected.. the gasket was jammed, it was stuck & I wasn't able to remove it. So I peeled it off bit by bit, bt still there were small amts left that I wasn't able to remove no matter what I did. After this bought a new gasket & fixed it.

Btw I torque speced the bolts of the cover to 10nm as per manual so most def didn't over tighten it.

1. Do y'all know what caused this gasket prob?

2. Also, used the metric 4t 10w50 amsoil, within 200 kms of riding yellow oil changed to black as you can see in the video (properly drained) & bike feels very vibey everywhere right frm handlebar to pegs which was not the case when I used motul 7100 atleast not for the first 1.5k kms. Why is this happening?
