KTM motorcycles and engine heat, a problem?

Posted on August 27, 2023October 8, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

KTM motorcycles and KTM engines are often associated with engine heat issues, in addition to mechanical problems and quality questions.  But is the heat and heat dissipation really an issue?

Fyresdal to Oslo, a 2022 mini adventure (2)

Posted on June 28, 2023July 13, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Fyresdal to Oslo isn’t a very long ride. Probably something like 230-240 kilometers. But then you have to take the main roads. Consequently my plan was to take an alternative route which involved all sorts of smaller roads. And gravel, dirt based of course. Then later onto E134, from Notodden via Kongsberg, to Drammen.

Posted on October 7, 2022January 28, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

2500 kilometers on KTM1290 Super Adventure S

Posted on April 25, 2021April 30, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

2500 kilometers went quickly, or quicker than I thought. During and right after Easter we had good spring temps so I wasted no time. That did not last. Now we’re down into single digits Celsius. But with proper gear it’s not an issue, gusts or no gusts. It’s been day rides only. The longest this…read more>>

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, first impressions

Posted on April 3, 2021January 8, 2025 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is a very different beast from my previous bike. So different it’s almost like comparing apples and oranges.  But compare them I will (attempt), although there are some other variables to factor in. Some variables are related to me. For those who’ve not read previous posts, here are some reasons….read more>>
