Here's another video from yesterday
I was poking along but you can see that it's a fun roller coaster of a road especially if you take into account that the GoPro flattens out hills and straightens corners
Now, Sad Panda, get to putting up a video here. Your bike is prettier than mine.

Video requires a video cam! Which I do not possess
What flavor of tires do you run btw?

right now Pirelli MT-60Rs of which the rear is now pretty bald
I've got a pile o' parts coming soon which includes knobbies on another set of rims. So then the decision will be, replace the tires on my current rims with the same as they currently have or pure sport rubber?

The 690 duke's have a different* motor. the Enduro and SMC are only 654cc the duke is 690 cc
same motor different cc.
The Duke is a 654 as well, except for this years model.

That explains that then.
A local'ish shop quoted me 2 hours labor to flash the ECU. Seems like a lot of time for that. Anyone have this done and care to comment on the hours?
Sounds about right. I did it to my Duke and it didn't help much. Since I had it Dyno tuned with the Bazzaz it made a big difference. Still finicky as make the beast with two backs though.

Well, I dropped the cash on getting the cables needed for a DIY mapping.
There's a series of established base maps and a Freeware uploader/tuner. I'm expecting to see the factory map on the bike and can then upload the KTM created Akro map. It won't be 'perfect' but I expect it to run better with the slip-on. The program, TuneECU, also allows one to disable the O2 sensor which has been pegged for the erratic idle, surging and some twitch which I've got. It also allows one to shut down the SAS. I'm quite sure mine's up and running as I was getting some decel popping once I started getting frisky.
Like most tune progs it allows for detailed tweaking - though that's probably best avoided. Though one can adjust the base trim without editing the detailed table and folks report positive results by richening the mix over all just a touch.

Cable arrived!
Giggidy
*edit as there's really no need for a new post.
The 690 was running the stock maps - at least the files were label so, and different from the slip-on maps. Only had enough time yesterday to pull the current maps down for archiving. The FI table was pretty fast. the EP took the better part of 30 min to pull off the bike.
So next steps are to upload the Akro maps, then there's the TPS reset and the 15 min idle reset.
*Edit 2
Got the Akro maps uploaded. Boosted the base line by 2% for most of the table and 3% the bottom of the range and throttle under 30% to address teh stalling. Also tweaked the F-L switch per recommendation to address twitchy idle.
Did the 15 min idle reset run and TPS reset.
Too bad it'll be a couple days before I can give it a test.

I am the master of techmology!
Finally got a ride in. Though I think a bit more tweaking is in order things have definitely improved. The Akro map upload, adding a couple % to the F-Trim and shutting off the intrusive 02 sensor and stupid SAS have made a positive change. Feels liek to pulls a bit harder - nothing epic but a bit more peppy. The low end herk-jery that's been pegged to the 02 sensor seems to have vanished which makes the bike more pleasant to ride.
Of course it's all rain this weekend so I get no real play time.

Oh hey, I like me some rain. When I was playing rugby I quite enjoyed a light rain during a match - but I don't really have any good gear for wet stuff or really any adventurey kit - just street gear. So the problem is really getting cold - wet I don't mind much but wet to the skin = cold. Having ridden in leathers 70 miles in a downpour I learned there are few more miserable experiences than being soaked to the skin on a bike.

you're right about it being the cold and not the wet. i've been soaked plenty of times while riding. as long as it's warm i don't mind. if the trip is long enough the wind will dry you off before you reach your destination.

Yee haw!
tank looks to be a direct swap but needs to use the other seat.
I have to modify the other seat slightly as it looks like the Adventure must have had the battery in a different spot and there is a hump under the seat that hits my battery.
The front brake caliper that goes with those other forks looks so little compared to the one on my bike
It'll be nice to have the option of running the 21" front too.
So if any one has an Adventure, I have a bunch of parts that I'll probably not need and will just be hanging onto otherwise.
