How difficult was the front end conversion? Was it just a case of mounting the new forks and wheel and then connecting the brakes or was it a case of changing the abs module as well? Id be very interested in doing a mod like this to mine to make the bike taller.

Hey Frank, as you will have seen on my Facebook post, I just bought a 1992 RD04 Africa Twin! I really enjoy a nut and bolt restoration and will be stripping the bike right down for a full refurb and rebuild. Cheers for the info, very helpful!

Hi Frank. Do you have details of the software your using? Thanks from Ecuador

Would be an absolute beast with the turbo kit 🤙🏼

Magazines weight this AJP at over 400lbs, so lightweight can be subjective. AJP claims a lower weight.

Well done!

Much Enjoyment 👍😎

The bike is more than capable of long distance on tarmac, you just need to adjust your speed to 65mph and avoid motorways. The engine is a Husqvarna te630 , which was an Italian Husqvarna merge of the cagiva and husky fourstroke. The dohc and head of the te450/510, it is a strong reliable engine with a nice wide ratio six speed box. The lack of centre stand is easily overcome with an easily available snapjack.

Hi there great video, so year do you reckon is the best to buy?

This beautiful bike is not sold in my country. Hopefully Yamaha or Honda take a look at this design and remember the beautiful big bore thumpers they used to offer that their customers still long for.

Hey Frank hope your well bro 🤛 The AJP is reminding me more of the nc700 but don't ask me why it just does 😉 I'm curious to know what standard tyres these new bikes are fitted with as I'm looking for a pair of good mainly off road tyres for my RD04 in preparation for a super long mainly off road trip around Spain so any info when you have a minute would be appreciated 👍

Hey FranksWay - my 2007 990 superduke blew its motor. I'm looking at purchasing a 2011 SMT 990 motor and installing it. Think this would work? I know the gearing will be different. Engine cases, cylinder heads, and pistons are the same part numbers. SMT 2011 has a new ECU, dashboard, wiring harness, but the 2011 SMT engine should plug and play into my 2007 Superduke? Any help is much appreciated

Yes in deed as I spent a lot of time deciding that the DR 650 was the bike for me. Time has proved that it was a very good chance. One has only to test a bigger bike to see you do not have the agility. Big power is not really an advantage unless you are only road going.

Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Love it Frank. Keep em coming.

The lights are not good!

6:50 AJP PR7 saddle is excellent. Thin but top quality high density foam that feels super comfy.

Living in a small island in Greece for 7months a year and Athens the rest of the time owning a xt550 Yamaha was the best bike considering no mechanics at that time on the island 14 years with it no problems.

Everyone knows You can't ride without a 270 degree crank twin cylinder tubeless tyred cruise controlled 190kg Adventure bike with ultra HD TFT monitor . I remember the 90's when around the world motorcycle trips were done on 600cc/ 650cc bikes with huge aftermarket tanks

If you can just buy a DR650 and never sell it, its still arguably the best all rounder today, the KTM 690 is basically a high performance DR650, but its twice the price, more complex, probably less reliable, and do you really need 70hp on an adventure bike?

Large singles singles vibrate and have limited power for highway riding. They are mostly terrible.

Where's Yamaha with an Itchy Boots edition 550-600cc single? If they could put shin height 20L 890 tanks on it along with a kick start and decent suspension too that would be great. Other than the amazing handling upgrade you get from those tanks they also offer a lot of crash protection. Instead the manufacturers have decided we want small displacement twins this year.

Salut, pourquoi ne pas avoir acheté une transalp V-Twin plus adapté pour le OffRoad d'origine sans investir une grosse somme d'argent. Ancienne transalp ~2500€ propre.

I bought the Superduel X. Put it on a diet .....removed twin exhausts for a single . Did some other small mods and I have a phenomenal Cracker. The use of Motoz Tractionater tyres is a game changer. Great powerful bike.

I recently realized KLR 650 disappeared from Kawasaki 2025 lineup for Europe.

just get a KTM 500 or bigger. problem solved!

I own a XT660R. Love the bike. Have had the opportunity to ride the T7 on various occasions & in a perfect world, that would be my "up grade". Great video 👍🏼

Great feature, shame about the AI voice constantly buggering up pronunciation.

Needed this! You got a like and a sub! Awesome work

Hello. I have a 2008 KTM Super Duke 990 R in the USA. I think the second throttle valve stepper motor has failed and I've read that other have deleted these and plugged the holes in the throttle body. The second throttle valves flaps have already been deleted by the previous owner, so the stepper motor serves no purpose anyways other than keeping code clear. Is there a way to delete the stepper motor and keep codes clear? Thank you.

Gorgeous!

Every detail is perfection!

The direction is brilliant!

This video elevates the song!

Pure magic from start to finish!

This video is pure gold!

Great review.

Who's talking? Where's Frank?

As a long, long time 990 rider, who loves my girl off-road, I've been eyeing the 1290 R since it launched. Once you are hooked on that LC8, and the way the big KTMs play in the dirt, it is hard to go somewhere else. While I don't love all the computers on the latest KTMs and agree that the headlight is shite, it is what it is. Thanks for your measured review and perspectives.

Still one of the best bike to ride! A proud 2012 owner

Well done Frank. ! In the true South African way, n' boer maak n plan. !

Do you think that bike is good for first bike for a fat guy? i have 180cm (5ft 10) and 350 pounds. I'm not planing to do adventure roads, just touring and daily to work. thanks

Hi Frank. First, thanks a lot for your videos, all are fantastic. I have a questión. I I bougth recently an RD07a from 2001, and i work to tune up to original stage. Works relatively well, but i pretend buy a new jet kit tu restore the carbs. I saw the Keyster kits on ebay and the Sigmas, who supuose bring a few extra power. ¿Do you recomend this (Sigmas) or the Keyster?

And you're cams will shit the bed at 11000 miles !

Hello could you share where to buy the LM sticker kit ?

The three yellow wires on my rd07 have melted the Plug. Sometimes it has no electricity at all...if i move the cables a bit power comes back. She starts but drives only with a massive loss of power. She has 160000km on her back. Change the rectifier? I already renewed the connection. The loss of power comes after 10 min. of riding, if she doesnt turn off before

What grease do you recommend for the o-ring? Are you worried about getting that grease into the fluid?

Thanks Frank! After more than 15 years, I can't bear to let my 990 go so your tips are helpful. For those that might have an issue with the pad laying against each other when you are trying to get them on the disk (as Frank mentions at 00:03:00) try making a spacer with some stiff cardboard that keeps the pads separated but can be pulled out easily when you get the disk in.
