2019 KTM 690 enduro

Right I am having some trouble with my KTM, that I cannot pin down. I have noticed that it is very vibey lately, but can't pin down if it has always been like this, or something new. Although I am leaning towards the latter as it is becoming uncomfortable to ride, and can't remember it ever being th...

Re: Iceland an Scotland lightweight ADV tent

I have one of these https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/15978721/b ... t-15978721 and found it very good so far.
Pitch outer first, is always good in my book. I can fit in the porch in a helinox style seat, so good space.
NOt a bad pack size and ok weight for packing on a motorbike.

Re: Soft panniers/saddle bags - any recommendations?

I use Touratech (Ortlieb) 27l universal bags. They have been in torrential rain, used as bike rests and generally used as intended
for 2 years now. No problems so far and actually quite good value for money as they are sold in pairs for less than other
top end brands sell 1 bag for.

Re: Russia

A lot of footage is also from 'video games' such as DCS, which are incredibly realistic. ;)

First ride of the year.
Only a commute to work but dry clean roads and 3 deg C. Beautiful sunrise to start the morning.
Life is good again :-)

Re: Route advice (again), please

Why not up towards Bordeaux, then take the little ferry further north, Royan, then carry on up towards LeMans?

Re: Tell me about heated grips...

I fitted some Oxford grips and they get nice and warm/hot but my hands are used to thin and supple MX type grips and the Oxfords feel like im holding a couple of pick axe handles Looking to replace with some of those elements that go under grips (ive been saying that for months) What he said.

Re: advice wanted please

Don't forget the things that are irrelevant of build year.
You can still get a puncture.
Your chain can still snap.
You could still break a cable/ lever/ pedal
etc, etc
