I need for this to stay a focused thread about where to get a 85/80 thermoswitch in the US?

My RC 390 and my 690 Duke both say the same thing in the owner's manual: Run the engine to normal temperature (or just ride it!), then turn off and wait 1 minute with the bike bolt upright to check the oil level in the glass. It works for me. Ah, no. Look, oil is assessed by standards, and the repsol stuff exceeds the API and JASO T904 marks of the motorex 10W60. The weight difference is marginal and if a 690 blows up because it's running 10W50, it's not because of the oil, it's the engine and engineering. Remembering #93 Stacy Summers, 1972--2011. sweat, don't bleed. You can fix a leaking fork seal for about 1 dollar and 5 minutes of your time. Youtube SealMate then you either buy a SealMate or you make your own and clean your own fork seals. My right one leaked and i simply made my own sealmate, cleaned the dirt that made the fork leak and badda bing badda boom, no more leaky front fork. XUjRw4. Now, the KTM Duke 690 is the closest model to the first Duke ever, and is known for its exciting ride and advanced new features. The motorcycle is powered by a 690cc engine, and features a six-speed transmission. The bike itself only weighs 148.5 kg, so the weight to power ratio makes it an incredibly efficient machine. Thanks very much! So the key engine related items I pick up from that are: Oil and filter ever 600 miles. Valve clearance every 6k miles. Air filter change every 6k. Thanks for your help! keith-iow. This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. KTM is not the only company by any means that specifies 10w-60 oil. As is true with any motor, and especially this one, being a big piston with high compression, the majority of the wear happens before the engine reaches operating temp, so the thinner the oil at startup the better. In other words, a 0w oil is best for any engine in the world at 116 posts · Joined 2017. #1 · Jul 13, 2017.

It works for me. KTM 690 fuel pressure is 3,5 bar or 3500 hPa. The amount of fuel being delivered to the manifold is defined by 2 things; pulse width (injector open) + pressure difference. Injecting the same, let's say 8000 µs, at 0,2 bar MAP compared to 0,9 bar MAP makes 19% difference in the amount of fuel injected. 7392 posts · Joined 2016. #15 · Jun 25, 2019. 2010_RC8 said: your not wrong. Probably change out the small top filter that's before the pump every 10,000km or less. Maybe a track bike every couple years. A bad one has to strain the pump, trying to suck the volume and keep the pressure at high revs.
