KTM recently announced an AMA Superbike program for 2012 with HMC and Chris Fillmore. HMC and Fillmore really turned some heads in three appearances in the AMA paddock last season with their immediate pace, and the presentation of the program. We are very excited for Chris, as in December it was looking like 2012 was going to be a season spent defending his XR1200 #1 plate. Read the full KTM Press Release and watch a 2011 interview with Fillmore here.

Bazzaz KTM 690 Duke/Duke R Z-FI Fuel Control Unit

We just got the skinny on the new Bazzaz KTM 690 Duke Z-FI Module. It provides all the same features of the outstanding Bazzaz Z-FI line which includes 2 pre-programmed maps that you can select from their handlebar switch. This works well for all of you Duke to LC4 conversion customers who like to rip it around their favorite track, while everyone in the paddock is wondering what you are riding.

This module will also give you access to building and tuning the perfect map for your bike with their accessory software and a little dyno time.

Sato Racing KTM Parts

We want to introduce our newest supplier to all KTM 690 Duke and RC8/RC8R owners: Sato Racing. They are well known in the sportbike market for making nice components. Made from Billet Aluminum and graced with Double Ball Bearings on the levers, Sato has spared no expense in their function and design. They are the only ones who have designed and built a set of rearsets for the KTM 690 Duke and Duke R. They also make some really nice protection accessories for you RC8 Owners. Check out their KTM RC8 Carbon Case Covers and matching KTM RC8 Delrin Case Cover Slider.

KTMTwins Sigutech Billet 690/LC8/RC8/RC8R Clutch Slave Cylinder

Sigutech and KTMTwins.com have partnered up to bring to the market a new Billet Double and Triple O-Ring Slave Cylinder for the KTM 690s and RC8/RC8R. The all Billet Double O-Ring 690 Slave Cylinder is a must have if you want to make sure you aren’t stuck in the middle of nowhere with a broken or leaking Slave. The stock unit runs only 1 O-Ring, and with it's production quality cast aluminum case you can’t get the tight tolerances that a billet unit gives you.

The engineers at Sigutech have taken it one step better with their LC8/RC8/RC8R unit. Their LC8/RC8 Slave incorporates a 3 O-Ring Piston in an all-Billet Body. They have never had a failure with one of their units and will back that up with a 2-year Warranty!

CJ Designs KTM 950 Adventure Facet Fuel Pump Kit

Calling all you KTM 950 Carburated Adventure Owners - We are sure you have seen the threads, and have read about owners retrofitting odd and unique fuel pumps on their bikes to get around the faulty stock fuel pumps. KTM fixed that with their 990 bike but we love Carburetors and simply can’t get away from the problem. CJ Designs is the only guy we trust when it comes to projects like this, because we know he tests his kits and will come back and only sell items that work. CJ Designs KTM 950 Adventure Facet Fuel Pump Kit will remove the stock fuel pump and allow you to mount up a durable Facet pump. He has done all the R&D for you, and has equipped his kit with all the fittings and hoses that you will need to get the job done.

Or, you can make another trip to Pep Boys...and another to Lowes...and Google some more...

FP Racing 690 Enduro/950 Super Enduro Adjustable Folding Lever

We have been harping on FP Racing to make a set of their custom brake levers for the KTM 690 Enduro/950 Super Enduro for a while now. Their reasoning for the delay is understandable: they want to make sure that they have enough sales to justify the cost to tool up their machines. We thought of a great idea - Why not sell these on a pre-order basis and go to them with enough orders so they can’t ignore the demand? If you have been waiting and would like to get your name on the list to help us in getting these made, please place your order.

Jonah Hangs Up His Klim

Friend of KTMtwins.com (and a lot of people) Jonah Street decided that his 2012 Dakar would be his last, with a mechanical problem on his Yamaha for the second year running making the decision for him.

Jonah has decided that it is time to retire from professional motorcycle racing. Jonah you have been a inspiration to all of us bench racers, and we want to say thank you. Good luck with your future endeavors.

Here is a blast from the past, pre-GoPro days, when Jonah came down to help us sort some KTM 950 Suspension settings:

Coming soon to KTMTwins.com is a the ultimate kit to turn your KTM 690 Duke and Duke R into the ultimate track weapon.

John and the guys at Rally Raid seem to never sleep. Their new KTM 690 Enduro/690 SMC Soft Bag Suitcase Carrier System is built KTM tough. This carrier gives you a platform to pretty much mount anything you can think of onto your 690. We’ve seen this in action with both the Giant Loop Great Basin and the Giant Loop Coyote Saddlebags, and because of their carrier you don’t have to go through the trouble of mounting up the GL Exhaust Guards. This carrier allows the user to tailor the package to mount up Wolfman Bags (coming to KTMTwins.com very soon), Giant Loop and even Rotopax. Why be held down to one type of luggage, when you can get the Transformer of suitcase carrier systems and tailor the luggage to the type of ride you have planned.

Kahedo KTM 690 Enduro/SMC Seat

KTMTwins is now Carrying CJ Designs

We are extremely happy to introduce our first items from CJ Design. Craig is a great guy and awesome rider and machinist. He is a true enthusiast and we look forward to hanging out with him in Bend Oregon next year for KTM’s Rally. He comes up with some of the most innovative items for your KTM 950/990 Adventure including his CJ Designs KTM 950/990/690 Clutch Cooler Kit. This simple but effective item increases the mineral oil capacity in your clutch master cylinder which keeps the fluid cooler and working better. Especially in tight twisties, or on the trail when your clutch finger is moving so much the Margura tends to get hot causing your clutch to have problems. He offers his Clutch Coolers in two colors. Orange and Black.

Another item is his CJ Designs KTM 950/990 LC8 Aluminum/Titanium Clutch Cover. You get your choice of design, from open window to half spoke allowing you choose the type of style you would like to add to your bike. This cover is machined to precise tolerances and protects your clutch from leaking in the event of a tip over. It also looks really cool when your clutch is engaged.

Featured Customer - Paul's KTM 950 Super Enduro Profiled

The KTM Rally Jacket and Pants mean business. We have them in stock and cannot believe that they are selling the jacket and pants at such a reasonable price.

Vortex KTM 690 Enduro/690 SMC Fuel & Ignition Control Unit

Vortex’s KTM 690 Enduro ECU is a must for anyone who uses their bike in any condition. Imagine having 10 pre-set traction maps at your disposal.

It’s like traction control for your bike and once you have used it you won’t go back.

RAD Manufacturing is our newest supplier of custom wheels. They make their own hubs and will build custom wheels for your KTM 950/990 Adventure, 950 Super Enduro and 690 Enduro. From stock sizes to full Supermoto 17s - when you need to replace those old worn out oem wheels look no further.


Cox Racing KTM Radiator Protection


Cox Racing is known in the AMA paddock for making some of the strongest and lightest radiator protection out there. The the only manufacturer of Radiator Guards for the KTM 990 Supermotos and RC8/RC8R. If you have either of those bikes do yourself a favor and protect that expensive radiator (and engine) at all costs.


Full Spectrum KTM Replacement Battery

Full Spectrum is another player on the professional racing circuit and for good reason - they make the best Lithium Batteries. US manufactured and professionally tested, their batteries are the next evolution in battery design. There might be a cheaper battery that would start your KTM, but we don't see it powering the Yoshimura Superbikes. If you listen to the forums, why spend so much on the Full Spectrum when Joe's Battery is half the price? To that we say - we were in Baja and saw some dude on a KLR with a milk crate who seemed to be having as much fun as we were on our 990 ADV...

Their P3 Battery is a upgrade for the 950/990 Adventure and their P2 is a current replacement battery for every bike we cater to. With an average weight savings close to 7 pounds over the stock unit you get the best of both worlds.

Dynojet KTM 690 Power Commander in Stock

Finally here and in stock for all of your 690 junkies - the Dynojet KTM 690 Power Commander. Put that bike on the dyno or add the Dynojet KTM 690 Autune Kit and build your own maps for the current conditions.

KTM 690 Enduro/690 SMC X2 Headlight Kit

Tired of not being able to see on your way home? We all know that one of the weakest links in the KTM  690 Enduro is the headlight. KTM put a S2 bulb in that unit which is a 35wx35w bulb - that isn’t enough for all of the crazy night rides we all like to do. This X2 unit from KTM is just the ticket.

Included in the kit is everything you need to mount this bad boy up. Included is a dash relocation bracket and all of the fasteners to make it happen. For a few extra bucks we can get it with a Orange Shield for all you die hard KTM nuts.

Did you know that as a member of ADVRider you get 10% off orders of $999.00 or more? Simply leave your ADVRider username in the comments section when checking out and we will adjust the total for your discount. It's as easy as that.
