Placed under the rear part of the seat.

This allows me to keep the battery charged when the bike is in the garage – and to keep power on the phone when travelling 🙂

Preparing for LED flashers

By Jens|2012-11-25T12:20:11+01:00November 25th, 2012|KTM Duke 690|

Installed a new tiny flasher relay that can handle the smaller electrical load from the LED flashers.

The top picture is the original flash relay, the lower picture shows the new one.

These Parts are hand made by Christoph in Austria – carbon freak and fellow KTM rider.

Very good craftmanship 🙂

Mmmmmmmm…..

The parts are ready for the final touch – a few layers of clear paint coating.

First longer tour on the Duke

The KTM Duke is not excactly the perfect touring bike, but I’ll give it a try on this 1000 km weekend trip to a Drag Racing event.
I’m in no hurry today, so I’m avoiding highway riding and head for the smaller country roads in stead.
The GPS stays hone too 🙂

Rear tyre lasted 1700 km !!!

Including 1000 km running in !!
No burn outs, and mostly with both wheels on the ground.
The pointy profile of the Dunlop Sportmax is probably to blame.
Will install Bridgestone S20 instead.
