KTM 690 SMC description

Note: For sale locally and ad can be deleted at any time if a local buyer comes through.

Clean title
23k miles (will go up slightly as I ride)
This bike is completely 100% stock. No FI lights. 
Filters/screens and oil were changed every 2500 miles w/ Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W-60

Asking $5200 OBO. Willing to negotiate. If you pick up locally w/ cash, I can reduce the price by a $100 since I'll be avoiding eBay.

This bike is very rare & sought after and that is why the asking price is what it is. Uber light at 305 pounds dry with fully adjustable suspension and 63HP make for an awesome ride. This bike was used purely for commuting so very light use in general.


Most recent maintenance:
- Fresh oil change about 100 miles ago
- New Throttlebodies (replaced at 13k miles)
- New Magura Clutch Master Cylinder (replaced at 17.5k miles)
- Fork seals with fresh oil (replaced at 18k miles)
- Engine Ice / Coolant Flush (20.5k miles)

Major service at 22k miles included:
- Top-end Rebuild
- New D.I.D. Chain & Sprockets
- New Spark Plug
- New Front + Rear Brake Pads
- Front + Rear Brake Fluid Bleed/Flush
- Clutch Fluid Bleed/Flush w/ KTM clutch fluid
- New Pirelli Diablo Rosso II Front Tire

I have ALL maintenance-related records in a KTM bag. 

Bad:
Previous owner kept it outside so the plastics and gauge cluster are faded and there is some minor rust. The left side is okay, but the right side looks a little rough as somebody attempted to remove the sticker residue with sandpaper. Overall, I'd give the exterior a 6/10. If you want it to look pretty I'd replace the plastics for a few hundred bucks. The rear brake lever is bent from somebody knocking it over in the parking lot. Mechanically, the bike is in great shape. However, it is prone to stalling when pulling the clutch in and coasting to a stop (common problem on these 690's). Likely a mapping issue and as long as you give the throttle a quick blip as you pull in the clutch the bike is completely fine. It didn't bother the previous owner and hasn't stopped me from riding it or bothered me enough to fix it. 

Please scroll through ALL the pictures. I tried to picture any issues as best as I could.

Sold as is.

Helen Kurt Caselli Send-Off Attracts Thousands

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

In a touching tribute to Kurt Caselli, one of America’s brightest off-road racing stars, who tragically lost his life in a crash while competing in the Baja 1000, a gathering of over 2000 people descended upon Glen Helen Raceway to pay their final respects in a rolling tribute. The line of cars stretching back to the nearby freeway was a fitting reminder of just how many lives Caselli touched and how important a figure he was to many. Caselli’s KTM crew and teammates were just some of the many who came to pay their respects and take a ride-out in Kurt’s honor with his mom Nancy and fiancée Sarah at the head of the vast pack of motorcyclists. Motocrossers like Dean Wilson, Blake Baggett, Cole Seely and then other luminaries like AMA Superbike racer Chris Fillmore and off-roaders like Destry Abbott were part of the group.

Talk About A Log Jam

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

The Red Bull Romaniacs enduro rallye in Sibiu, Romania is one of the most challenging events on the calendar. It must be, if this Enduro-Cross-style prologue to the four-day race is any indication. Here, we ride along with KTM Factory rider Johnny Walker (definitely one of the coolest names in motorsports) as he makes riding through balance beams, wall rides and a brutal tree stump pit look like child’s play, while the rest of the field wonders why they even bothered getting out of bed that morning.
