Other Great 690 Enduro Sites
« on: January 27, 2014, 02:40:39 pm »
There are some other great 690 sites out there, MuffinMan's 690 Wiki immediately comes to mind:

The 690 Wiki (http://ktm690.info/index.php/690_Hall_of_Wisdom#Handlebar_Position
--this site draws much of it's wisdom from ADV rider posts.  Props to MuffinMan at ADVrider for his heroic effort to parse through the mega-threads and create concise entries for common 690 issues.

Do you know a great site out there that would help fellow 690 owners?  Post a link so we can all take a look!

No real rules here.  If a site is useful to you, provide a link so we can all take a look.

Hi all,

The KTM 690 Enduro has it's own Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/Ktm690EnduroRFrancophone

There's not a lot of information there, but there's some great photos of the 690 Enduro in action! ::)

Don't have this yet but I intend to!!!!

Also really like bulletproof designs, had a radiator guard on a wr250 and they make awesome stuff, not much for the 690 but they do make a nice swingarm guard that could save some heartache down the road  ;)

Those radiator guards look stout!  Too bad they don't offer one for the 690! :-[

I totally agree Rusty. When I talked to them they said it would be to expensive to produce because the radiator curves on the 690. I would have thought they could make something like a 3 piece unit or something. This is where a guy like Outlawguy A.K.A Jack could maybe work his magic at his machine shop (I hope he's reading this)   :D

Site has been down since last summer due to a domain registration issue it seems. If anyone knows the owner, have them contact me. I can host the site, register the domain, put it on a new domain or at least put up the wiki info up where people can find it. My biz has a web server so easy-peasy and free of charge.
