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

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
Sato Racing KTM 690 Duke Adjustable Rearsets

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

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
KTMTwins Adds CJ Designs

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

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:

<![CDATA[KTM ANNOUNCES KTM/HMC SUPERBIKE RACING TEAM]]> http://www.ktmtwins.com/ktm-news/ktm-hmc-ama-superbike-team/ Chris Fillmore on the HMC KTM RC8R Superbike in 2011 Action

MURRIETA, Calif. – KTM Motorsports is proud to announce the KTM/HMC Superbike Racing Team which will mark KTM’s first full-time Superbike racing effort in the United States.

The KTM/HMC Superbike Racing Team competed at three of the AMA Pro Superbike Road Racing Championship Series events last season and will return for the entire series for 2012. The team will be headed by HMC Racing owner, Mitch Hansen, and will be taken to the track by Chris Fillmore.

The famous duo, Hansen and Fillmore, both have an extensive history with the KTM brand. Hansen led the HMC/KTM Supermoto Team to 10 National Championships from 2003-2009 and was also the face behind the U.S. Red Bull Rookies Cup effort from 2008-2009. Fillmore raced for the HMC/KTM Supermoto Team at the young age of sixteen in 2003 and again in 2008 where he finished 2nd overall in the AMA Pro Supermoto Championship while also competing on the KTM 990 Super Duke in select events.

The two paired up last season during the final few AMA Pro Superbike Road Racing events and earned the KTM 1190 RC8 R Race Spec bike its best Superbike racing finish with a 7th place result at the Lexington, OH round.

KTM will back their effort once again, but this time for the full season of Superbike racing. “We were very proud of what HMC and Chris accomplished in 2011, entering the highly competitive Superbike class in the middle of the season. We feel confident in our HMC program, Fillmore and the RC8 R that we will see even more success during the 2012 season,” remarked KTM Product Line Manager John Hinz.

Hansen is equally excited to return to racing, commenting, “We have been tied to the KTM brand for many years now and this level of racing is what we both have aimed for. We are proud to represent KTM and their Superbike at the national level and look forward to showing the U.S. market what the bike is capable of.”

Fillmore will compete aboard the KTM 1190 RC8 R Race Spec motorcycle. “I have been testing the RC8 since it first arrived in the states and the Race Spec bike is very competitive,” remarked Fillmore. “I am very excited to be racing in the Superbike class again and am looking forward to competing in a full season and improving on our success from last year.

The RC8 R Race Spec motorcycle was launched in the U.S. in 2011 as a new production model built specifically for competition use and returns again for 2012. For more on the KTM/HMC Superbike Racing Team or for further details about the 1190 RC8 R Race Spec model please visit www.ktmusa.com.

<![CDATA[KTMTwins.com January 2012 News]]> http://www.ktmtwins.com/ktm-news/ktm-january-2012-news/ Rally Raid KTM 690 Enduro/SMC Soft Luggage Carrier System

Rally Raid KTM 690 Enduro/SMC Soft Luggage Carrier System

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

Kahedo is well known for their seats in Europe. They currently make the 3 different saddles for the KTM 950/990 Adventure that we have featured on our site distributed by Touratech. Their design, foam and attention to detail are second to known and now they are making one for the ever popular KTM 690 Enduro & SMC.

Not just another seat thrown together and covered with a thin seat cover, their quality foam and thick seat cover will last the test of time. We are taking Pre-Orders to save on Freight which will transfer to your wallet!

Baja Designs KTM 690 Enduro/690 SMC Stock HID Upgrade Kit

Baja Designs KTM 690 Enduro/690 SMC Stock HID Upgrade Kit

Baja Designs has been getting down and dirty out in the desert for years. They are the foremost in Baja Accessories for both bikes and cars and they have come up with a great kit for your KTM 690 Enduro or 690 SMC. We have different lights that you can choose from on our site but this Baja Designs KTM 690 Enduro/690 SMC Stock HID Upgrade Kit is the only one that keeps that clean OEM look to your bike. With 7 times the light that the stocker puts out, this is almost a safety upgrade as far as we are concerned.

KTMTwins is now Carrying CJ Designs


KTMTwins Adds 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.


KTMTwins Adds CJ Designs 

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

Paul's 950 Super Enduro

Last but not least is our customer bike of the month. Paul from Australia has been a great customer of ours for years and we were floored when he sent us some pictures of his 950 Super Enduro/Supermoto. We got the wheels for him, and many of the other items that are graced on his machine. What a piece of art Paul - a piece of art that rips! 

Please send us pictures of your KTM and we'll feature it in an upcoming Newsletter.

<![CDATA[KTM Back in Grand Prix Racing]]> http://www.ktmtwins.com/ktm-news/ktm-moto3-grand-prix-kalex/ When KTM fired up its new Moto3 engine on the benches of one of the KTM Racing test benches at 9:27 a.m. on August 26 it signaled that the company that is always ‘Ready to Race’ is on track and on time for its return to top level MotoGP road racing.

This pure bred KTM engine draws all on the power and experience of the company’s proven research and development expertise and the extensive experience of the KTM Racing Department.

KTM’s return to the new MotoGP Moto3 class and the development of the new engine by KTM engineer Wolfgang Felber and his team is also characterized by an intense partnership with KALEX Engineering of Southern Germany, the company that will be the exclusive chassis manufacturer for the KTM engine. The constructor of the newly unveiled M32 racing motor is Kurt Trieb, a very experienced engineer, who among other important tasks was responsible for the construction of the KTM MotoGP V4 motor.

KTM’s exclusive partnership with KALEX Engineering represents a joint combination of skills and passion to develop two different, but parallel concepts for the 250 cc single cylinder four-stroke bike: the KTM racing machine, 100% developed at the company’s headquarters in Mattighofen, Upper Austria, and the KALEX-KTM bike concept. The fully in Mattighofen developed KTM machine with an innovative KTM frame concept will be in the hands of Ajo Motorsport headed by experienced Finn Aki Ajo while the KALEX-KTM machine is being offered to various customer teams.

The ‘made in Austria’ road racing bikes are no strangers to the MotoGP paddock. KTM competed in the 125 cc and 250 cc classes until these categories were phased out in favour of Moto2 - and subsequently from 2012 - the Moto3 classes. In fact KTM has continued a presence in the paddock through its ongoing commitment to the highly successful Red Bull Rookies MotoGP Cup Competition. KTM supplies the 125 RR bikes for the youngest competitors in international level road racing as they launch their careers. This activity also represents KTM’s passion for the development of products for the younger rider, best illustrated by the launch of the KTM 125 Duke entry level street bike in the early summer of 2011. The 125 Duke immediately became Europe’s top selling 125 bike in the first quarter of its release.

KTM already has proven capacity in the smaller classes of MotoGP. The company not only has a Manufacturer’s World title to its credit in the small bike category; it is also proud to have played an important role in nurturing young riders of the caliber of Casey Stoner, Mika Kallio, Hiroshi Aoama and Marc Marquez who all competed for the KTM factory team. By returning to competition in Moto3, KTM also signals its passion to continue to support talented young riders, a core value of the company’s philosophy.

KTM CEO Stefan Pierer: “We are pleased to return to the MotoGP paddock with a product that reflects the all engineering and technological development expertise that has earned our brand 203 world titles. But we are also passionate about supporting talented young riders - not only because of KTM’s racing DNA but also because they represent the future of top level motorsports.”

KTM Moto3 Engine 2012 World Championship    Key Facts and Figures about KTM’s M32 Moto3 engine:

We wish we had this idea. Ditch the cable lock and tie downs that are rusting up in your pile of motorcycle parts and pick yourself up a set of Lockstraps and never worry about your valuables again.

We forgot to mention one of the most vital parts to our KTM Rally in Lake Tahoe. The missing peson was Don Lemelin. He is the owner of Scuderia West and a key feature with KTMTwins.com. He is one of our dear friends and Ron doesn't know where he would be if it wasn't for Don and Crystal. We owe them much appreciation and thanks. If you are looking to buy our first KTM, upgrade to a new KTM or just want to come on in and have a coffee and talk there is no better place then Scuderia West in San Francisco.

<![CDATA[KTMTwins.com August 2011 Newsletter]]> http://www.ktmtwins.com/ktm-news/august-2011-news/ Rad Manufacturing Custom KTM Wheels

RAD Manufacturing KTM Wheels
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 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 Replacement KTM 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

Dynojet KTM 690 Power Commander V
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

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.

ADV Rider Discount

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.
