1290R vs 2007 KTM SD · SuperDukeNet Forum Archive

Post 1 by Aphex, 04 Oct 2015, 01:13

I have a 2007 KMT SD with a Rottweiler airbox and Yosh pipes. The bike rips and is great fun to ride.
Negatives: heavy clutch, whole big vibrates at speed, could be faster, suspension not great over the freeway

I want:
More power, better suspension, easier clutch and brake pull, better cornering and turn in, more refinement and less buzz and feeling of being on a dirt bike on the street.

I welcome comments from those who have owned or extensively ridden both

And, what is the difference between the 2015 SD and SD R?

Thanks for the suggestions.
What's aQ2/3? tyre brand? Will try.
How do I get the clutch and brake to be easier to pull?
Less buzz over all?

The bike is pretty amazing, I am torn between fixing it up and getting a new one.

I would like to have a suspension that doesn't bang me up as much.

Thanks for the info on the tyres. Has no one on this forum ridden both bikes? Hard to believe. As to the other comments, only a coward says shit in a forum.
