Jody's KTM690 is it broken?

[Jody]

As some of you will be aware my 2016 KTM690 duke dumped it's oil out a few weeks ago. I finally managed to helicoil the broken thread. I've put 1.5 L of cheapo oil in (1.7L capacity) and started it up.

Bear in mind the bike has always been noisy, it is a KTM after-all! I'm not certain it's noisier. Compared to the second video, it's questionably quieter !!??





What say the RTTL minds ?

not broken.

Sorted my sound issues....

That's a normal 690 engine there.

Quieter! (Particularly as the first one is indoors).

Job jobbed.

They're different bikes. First is his, bottom one isn't

If I hadn't listened to the second video I'd be concerned, but sod it, put some decent dino blood in it and go for a rip

I could go start mine up, but honestly that sounds exactly like a 690.

I'd be out already

Yebbut...his still sounds quieter than the second one - which I assume is a 'healthy' bike. Not that either of them sound like a sewing machine exactly.

For sure, they're not your Japanese machine for sure.

Or even a Ducati.

Thanks for the feedback

I'm going to run it up to temp again, drop the cheapo oil and replace with the pukka stuff and take it out for a ride.

As far as I understand, if it is knackered it will get louder and be sluggish quite quickly !

[weeksy]

I'd leave the shit oil in then for 5-10 mile tester

[Supermofo]

Only just seen this.

That sounds like a regular 690 engine to me.

Good luck, hopefully you've dodged a bullet.

[KungFooBob]

Maybe a little bit of extra wear has helped it?

Like how bikes run in at full throttle on the dyno make more power, etc..

Probably true of most engine faults

So any update?
