KTM 950 / 990 Adventure GPR 2 into 1 Full Exhaust System

Just in time for your Christmas list to Santa. We are proud to announce the addition of the KTM 950 / 990 Adventure GPR 2 into 1 Full Exhaust System. Weight reduction (19 pounds on our scale!) and styling are just the start of what this full exhaust system will do for you. The kit includes a quiet core insert and spark arrestor screen so you don't have to worry about the rangers when riding offroad. El Jefe ran this system hard down in Mexico with great results. We are even throwing in the Carbon Protection that mounts to your stock skid plate, and protects the header pipe from road debris and rock damage. At just over what a slip-on Akrapovic system runs you can't go wrong. Available while supplies last so make sure and tell Santa to kick it in high gear.

KTMTwins 2009 LC8 Water Pump Upgrade Kit

We have been working on the KTMwins 2009 LC8 Water Pump Upgrade Kit for a little while now and it is finally ready. We bought out all of KTM USA's stock on the individual parts and made them put in another order with Austria. We caught them off guard with the demand of this system.

If you are running the stock Water Pump on your machine you could benefit with the additional flow and redesigned water pump impeller in this kit. The impeller has better flow and the cover(with all of the necessary hardware) gives you additional volume. Next time you are ready to do your water pump pick up the upgrade kit. You only have to do it once!

"After upgrading your water pump kit to the new version don't forget to choose our 2009 version of our water pump rebuild kit".

Look for this kit and probably our picture to show up on the other sites soon. Seems to be a pattern...

KTMTwins Tech Tip of the Month

When doing your coolant on the 950/990 Adventure there is a couple of tips that should make the process go smoother and faster for you:

1. After draining the coolant for maintenance or replacing the water pump kit. Fill the coolant in the radiator as normal.

2. Here is the trick! Get the front wheel in the air approximately 18 inches. At home the trick is to put the bike on the center stand with the stand feet on a curb with the rear wheel in the street. Push down on the rear to get the front wheel up in the air.

3. Run the bike with the radiator cap off. The coolant will "burp" a few times while warming up ( 3 to 4 minutes ). Top off the coolant from there.

4. Install the radiator cap "check the rubber on the cap for damage or dirt and debris".

5. Set the level of coolant in the reservoir and your good to go.

6. Now get out there and live the adventure!

Customer KTM of the Month

Our friend and customer Mark Bothe has decided to sell his beautiful and well-sorted RC8. From Mark: " Mileage is 1,251 miles. First service was completed at 600 miles. All KTM factory recalls have been performed by KTM of Gresham. The SuperCorsa Pros were removed at the 600 mile and Pirelli Corsa IIIs were placed. This bike is very unique. It is one of less than 50 model year 2009 in the US. Also, unique is that this is the only bike in the US with custom GP Suspension 25mm Superbike Cartridge forks. Special fork caps and compression needles. The suspension is set for a 175-185lb rider. The bike comes with the original WP fork guts, original shock spring, levers, exhaust, sprocket and SuperCorsa tires. This bike also comes with the KTM Briefcase, 2 sets of keys and the orange key. This bike has the factory Akrapovic map installed. I have installed a Cox Racing Group radiator guard and axle and case sliders. I did scrape the right foot peg, so there is a scuff on the underside of the peg. Everything is immaculate on this one of a kind machine. I have never been talked to by so many strangers than when I ride this bike. $14,900 USD/obo".

Seems like a steal! If you are interested in talking to Mark, contact us and we'll forward your contact information to him.

If you have a well loved machine that you would like to see in our newsletter to please send those photos to us and maybe your bike will be the next featured ride. Good luck on your next project, Mark.
