I recently had to purchase a new rear tire for my 02' Duke II. I wanted to try out the Michelin Pilot Road 2ct. I put the same size it had before 160/60ZR17,...

Over the weekend my 1996 Duke I and I was on a 160 mile ride. Started out on the freeway, then some really heavy-duty backroads blasting (kept up easily with a...
... That is exactly what happened, I'm sure. You'll likely find a teaspoon or so of oil still in the airbox, as confirmation. Best clean it out. It happened...
... Not really, it's just that some 160/60's have that trouble on the Duke, as their carcases and tread section is bigger. There can be quite a variation ...
... I should have said : this is a known, common issue. It doesn't signify anything wrong, it's just a quirk of the Duke that it likes to pretend you've just...
How would larger wheel spacers help in squeezing on a larger tire to the rim..are you trying to make the swingarm wider? bad idea, stick to w/in one...
... The issue is not swingarm clearance but clearance between the chain run and tyre edge. By placing spacers behind the sprockets (not wheel spacers!) you can...
yep, I read emails out of order :-) put some road 2's on my streetbike, probably the best non track tire I've ever had. Putting a...
I did stick with the stock tire size (160/60zr17), but apparently some tires are wider than others. I'd hate to have to buy another tire. I didn't notice the...
So, does anyone have any idea where I can begin to search for the spacers? How could I possibly backtrack to those old forums where they might have some info...

Greetings Duke2 Lovers and Fans! I have an offer to trade in my duke2 + some cash for a KTM 950 Super Enduro; while browsing I ended up checking out the 950...
... You could search the list archive, but I don't think a source was mentioned and I suspect anything like this will have been a one-off knocked up by a...
... Very tough choice. Get one of each :) the 690 for town and short trips, the 950SM for longer/faster. Better get a 950 Adventurer for touring and an RC8 for...
If I could have two from the current line-up, it would be a Duke 690 and an RC8. If I could have only one, it'd probably be Superduke. ... From: Tony...
I just bought a 950sm,not the R though and find it to be excelllent at everything from motorways to back roads to gravel,it reminds me of my beautiful 98...
... I've ridden a 690SM and 950SMR and now own a 950SM. I wasn't keen on the 690, while the engine was very smooth it didn't seem overall to offer a great deal...
... Does anyone know what the V's are like to maintain/work on? A great feature of the LC4's is that they're easy DIY prospects. I'd be interested to know if...
... They're bucket & shim but done TL1000S style so the cams are gear driven from an idler. Which will help with ease of maintenance a bit. I've never serviced...
... Yep, much nicer than many bikes as the cam chains don't get touched. Until I take my LC8 to bits though I don't know if it makes for an easy job there too....
I have an update on my Duke that died on me a few weeks back. My 01 Duke with about 9000 miles had the Red temp light coming on. It started just before I put...
I had the same problem when I put a Dunlop Qualifier on my Duke. The shop tech solved the problem by taking a grinder to the tire! He only had to remove a...
Got a question for all your guys.. Do you have your license plates mounted with the stock setup or something different? I found the stock plate holder to be...
I got my plates on the stock brackets From: KTMDuke@yahoogroups.com [mailto:KTMDuke@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of tim_from_co Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008...
Ever since I did the top end repairs - rocker arm bearings, valve adjusters, new cam shaft - I have not been confident of the way the engine sounds between...
