Nah mate, haven't changed the gear set, although first does seem a bit tall for the technical riding.
Like so many of us, I got tired of waiting for KTM to build the 690 Adventurer, and went about building my own.
The kit is 100% bolt on, no welding or modifications to the original bike, fits 08 to 14 models, and from there the usual bolt on stuff is added like steering stabilisers, mufflers, grip warmers, GPS, power sockets, spot tracker, LED light bars and the list goes on to make an awesome adventure bike that can do it all.
I'm getting too old for lifting and man handling those big twins these days but still love my riding and this thing ticks the boxes for me.
