KTM 690 Enduro R on-road

KTM 690 Enduro R during break-in. TKC 80 mounted means a little caution advised. Otherwise... the bike I caught up with in the end is a 690 SMC ;-)

very very nice and very fast.What is your max speed ?

I have recently acquire a 690 enduro and I try to become a good enduro driver as I am a beginner ( 37 years old).Here in Morocco we have a lot of road to explore.

I am not very tall (1,73 m ) so could you advise me about the best features for the suspension (rear and front) to be safe when you go fast.I follow the manual : standard 15 clics.

Kindest regards.

Re speed: Thanks for the kudos but I guess I wasn't far beyond 100 kph

(which is the limit on this road). Must be the camera perspective. You can

hear me not reving hard on the straights - I just had fun. Racing is for tracks.

Re setup: Standard setting should be perfectly safe on-road, try "sport" as

suggested by KTM if you think it's too wobbly for you.

TKC 80, is that on/offroad dual purpose type, tires? Or just pure offroad, I looked em up, and they sure do look cool.

And oh, I LOVE, the image quality of your cam, and the sound is just excellent!, No anoying wind bruise and it catches the engine sound pretty well.

What kind of a cam is it?

Thanks!

With best regards,

Continental TKC 80 are marketed as dual purpose type tires. They offer

decent performance on-road and allow you to do off-road as long as it's dry.

Changed to Metzeler Six Days Extreme as I decided to learn enduro.

The cam is a GoPro HD Hero with chest mount, movie captured in R3 mode

(720 p, 60 fps) with OEM water-tight-case-back installed.

Yeah, I just bought a XL125V 08, no enduro, just a big commuter, but it will serve me well for a year or two before I go to a "real" bike, probably will be something more road oriented, like a Ninja 250, ER6-N or something alike, but, you never know :).

Be proud and take care of any machine you own and you will be served well for years. New "it" machines get released every year.
