Hello, Is the difference between the R model and the regular very big? I would think they would be almost equal in power delivery? Is the regular model more comfertable for road use? Thanks in advance.

Anyone used Bren tuning on their SDR? I'm wanting to get their hand held tuner for mine. I've gotten all the parts I'll be replacing on the bike but I'm waiting to see if the tuner for the SDR makes their black Friday sale. They are having a ten day countdown where they list one item per day...

This topic has been extensivily covered by this and other forums. Here are some links:

Sprocket sizes

What size are the stock sprockets ? How did changing gearing affect your bike ? Thanks

Bottom line:
-Long Track or Highway- consider leaving OEM
-Cannon Carving- Consider at least 16/ 40 sprockets; does not require a change in chains

Best,

Doc

 

nice.

 

Make cardboard hardware holders and mark where every screw came from . KTM hardware is mainly specialty stuff and has special places .Like the screws that hold the tank side covers Two have special washers that the plastic cowl hooks under . They won't interchange when reinstalling. Don't add extra confusion. Mark it like someone else would understand. Sharpie and cardboard.

 

SERVICE WARNING RESET FOR 2019 SDGT/R

I stumbled onto this in a 'First Service' thread and thought it might be better listed here......

Hey Andy, how did you reset the Service warning on your 2019? I just started getting the warning message and need to reset it as I just did my oil change. I'm searching the forum and what the older bikes did doesn't work on the '19 GT.

Hi,

This is what I did just a few days ago on my 19 R and it worked perfectly.


Turn on ignition.
Press "kill" switch.
Press "set" twice to get to menus.
Scroll to "settings" menu.
Press "up" and "down" buttons simultaneously until screen shows service interval information.
Press "set" to reset miles to 6,000 (next service date will automatically be extended 12 months).
Press & hold "set" until "settings" menu reappears.
Turn off "kill" switch.
Turn off ignition.

Confirmed - this works on the '19 GT. I was able to set the miles to 3600 (it goes in increments of 300) and the months to 12. You can set the months to anything you like (up to 12 months I believe). Thanks Andy!

Found this really cool shim calculator someone posted a while ago which makes it so easy to select the right shim as long as you measure correctly.

Don't neglect to measure the replacement shim also. I measure removed shims and re-catalog them into the kit, but they can vary.
