Yeti 0 Posted June 27, 2015 My first ride after my neck surgery was to bring this beauty home yesterday! 17,400 miles. The previous owner did everything to it except the suspension and exhaust. I've got a set of "S" model suspension on its way to me so now I just need slip ons (and taller side and center stands.) She is way too clean and will not remain this way for long, I've already got two trips to Baja planned... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted June 27, 2015 Nice. You are going to love it. Side stand relocator should be high on your list of upgrades. The stories of cracking cases are true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vacman 0 Posted June 27, 2015 Grats! Just bought my second 990, a 2007. Not nearly so clean. Lol There's a single Akro on adv. Buy a 2 into 1 and the Akro and then you have room for a spare tank or tool storage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted June 27, 2015 Congrats- reach out to some of the self-professed ktm geeks on "must-do" mods. Sidestand relocated is one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Diego 40 Posted June 27, 2015 What a beaut. I have an extra side stand re-locator (BDCW or Weld86, can't recall which) that I should've left with you the other day. Let's ride, buddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are going to love it. Side stand relocator should be high on your list of upgrades. The stories of cracking cases are true. It's already got the CJ Designs side stand relocator on it. This guy did EVERYTHING except the suspension. It's got the upgraded water pump and clutch slave, side stand relocator, skind plate, LED lights (BD Squadrons!!), Fuzebloc, etc. AND, I have a set of S suspension (forks and shock) on their way to me too! Going to have Georga go through them, but Superplush set them up for a 220 pound rider so they're already set up for me!! Grats! Just bought my second 990, a 2007. Not nearly so clean. Lol There's a single Akro on adv. Buy a 2 into 1 and the Akro and then you have room for a spare tank or tool storage. I have thought about doing that. I've heard opposing views on the 2-into-1. Some people say it kills the engine, others say it improves it. I dunno. I guess if a 2-1 set up came available, I'd have to jump on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's way more subdued than the dual akras on my last 990. It also came with an aux fuel tank in that spot. Oh, and Safari tanks. Doubt I will need to fill it up anytime soon.

Mikey777 44 Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome to the big bike club...Nice bike! One of these comes in really handy from keeping your heavy bike's side stand from sinking in the dirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bp619 104 Posted June 28, 2015 Congrats on new bike I just installed the rottweiler intake with advmachines jetting on my 950 and holy ---- wakes the bike up like crazy what a beast, plus for me in dual sport and desert riding in 1000 miles already due for new paper airfilter and at the cost of them the new cleanable foam filter is gonna pay for itself in a year, plus super easy to take off.

Yeti 0 Posted June 28, 2015 I will definitely be looking for a 2-1. I could certainly use the extra gas. A wide side stand foot is on its way to me already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeti 0 Posted June 30, 2015 I know nada about big bikes, but ask Randy about mud and the advantage of a higher front fender. Coincidentally, I bought a high fender for it yesterday. Should arrive tomorrow. The S suspension arrives today and goes out to George for a tune-up!! Cannot wait. This past weekend, I had a few minutes between birthday parties and beach volleyball tournaments. So I put the P3 lights on: Got a new seat to keep my ass happy: And started stripping her down to change a few things and install a few things: Box o' Goodies: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted June 30, 2015 I'm happy to see someone else has the same addiction to outfitting bikes. At least I'll have company in rehab. If anyone ever tells you they didn't see your brake lights with the P3's on there, they're lyin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did a little looking on that single Akro pipe for sale on ADV. It does not have a spark arrestor and I cannot find one available on-line anywhere. Not going to ride without a spark arrestor.

Vacman 0 Posted June 30, 2015 The guy who bought my old 990 with akras used fmf quiet inserts in them. Not sure if the bend is the same but it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
