Hey Ladies and Gents,

I just wanted to drop a line and introduce myself.

NeedPetrol here just looking to learn more about this awesome setup (KTM 690 SMC.) Selling my Ducati StreetFighter 1098, and going lighter and nimbler.

The extra clearance also appealed to me for the purpose of getting to trailheads here in Colorado.

Regards,

NP

Haha, how did you know!?

Any insight as to the valve-train service interval, and cost, on that motor? (looking at you Ducandy with your 701)

Thanks in advance!

Now I know what they mean by "Down Under".

The 701 SM manual says to check valves at 6200 miles, 12400 miles and after that no info! I have no idea what that costs.

Does all the blood rush to your heads???
