Part 2 KTM 990 Adventure Oil Change

Part 2 of 3 - Oil Change on a 2008 KTM 990 Adventure, model: Black USA.
Didn't see a video on the 990 Adventure oill change and think there should be one due to the many tasks that are involved. Enjoy

I have a 2011 KTM 990 Adv R and it is possibly the most complex oil change in the industry. Pull the skid plate BEFORE draining the case oil or you will have a mess. Not necessary to pull the gas tank. Unbolt the bottom of it, remove the top front skid plate mount casting and use a long small mouth funnel to drain the main oil tank. I've never found anything in the screen with ball check on the back of the oil tank. It's not worth all the trouble. Use all metric tools and Mobil 1 synthetic oil.

Billy Squire Rush part one had better music. Lol thanks for this info👍🏻

This is the proper procedure to change the oil apart from the fact that when you drain from the upper drain bolt ypu need to have the bike leaning on the side stand. I think yours was on the center stand.

How in the name of God can an adventure bike have such a complicated oil change procedure?

[@nyndmrts]

I guess because it has a good dry-sump lubrication system.

I'm curious about the 1/2" wrench.

You need a T10 Torx. 7:08 in the film recapitulates what tools You'll need.

for a new to 990, how much time should I expect this to take? Thank you! My dirt bikes and the 690 are piece of cake compared to this one :) Cheers

OmG it took me long to understand your part1.2.3 titles are in wrong order :) part2 -1 are confused. If you want to watch the proper order is 2-1-3. Maybe you can correct that...

[@Ducati11s]

The video is OK, but it's not necessary to remove the fuel tanks to do an oil change. All the filters and screens can be removed, cleaned or replaced with the tanks in place.

Michael Palmer Michael Palmer that's not possible for checking the uper barrel screen (the one behind the oil hose right besides the upper drain bolt). The one that he puts in at around 6 mins in this clip.
