Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Well after giving it a good wash ...deceided to check out in more detail...one of the package of parts that he returned had sigh of mouse damage..just wanted to make sure nothing worked it's way in the air box....I'm stund now just looking at it the lack of wires and ecu shit...the under seat of the 1290 looks like the deck of a star ship battle cruise compared to this...everything is looking just fine in there.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fallsalot Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I think the fuel pump on those is the same as my old Africa Twin, it might be that the points have stuck together on it. If you take the cap off the fuel pump and clean the contacts with some emery cloth you might get it working again. You can also just change them if that's whats wrong instead of replacing the whole pump. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361230833944?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338365712&toolid=20006&customid=EB235517545& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test rode one around Porto streets, I had only been on a Transalp 650 so far and it was on a full exhaust as most test ride bikes are. It was not a Transalp 650 On the 950's , yes but the last of the 990R's was slightly taller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I think you'll find that the rear K60 doesn't offer much traction if you're a little aggressive with the throttle, Marcel. To me, the Mitas E09 Dakar is smoother and quieter on the road, and much better off-road, and doesn't last much less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not rated for high speed. I think 160kmh or something like that. It doesn’t explode at 200, but doesn’t feel like it’s happy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
