RECALL ACTION 990 SUPER DUKE R!
KTM calls on all owners of a Super Duke R from the model year 2007 to report to an official KTM Dealer to have the steering damper
disassembled. Because, under certain circumstances, the clamp that secures the steering damper used in the series production of the KTM 990 Super Duke R (model year 2007) may break, KTM is asking all owners of this model to report to an official KTM dealer to have the steering damper temporarily disassembled. All the 990 Super Duke-R machines of the model year 2007 are affected. After the steering damper has been disengaged, it is possible to continue to use the motorcycle in normal traffic without an additional safety risk. KTM does however inform all owners of the Super Duke R that without the steering damper, the riding characteristics of the motorcycle are altered and it is vital that they adjust their riding style to suit the changed handling characteristics. All affected owners of the KTM 990 Super Duke R will be contacted in writing directly by KTM. In addition, all owners have the possibility to check online if their motorcycle is affected by the recall action. This can be done by going to www.ktm.com in the area Service where the information will be shown after entering the vehicle frame number and the delivery certificate number. All 990 Super Duke R models will be re-fitted free of charge with an altered clamp for the steering damper and this refit will be carried out as quickly as possible. All owners of the motorcycles affected will be contacted again in writing. Authorised KTM dealers can answer any further questions concerning this recall action. www.ktm.com

Surgical precision

Uncompromising high-end motorcycling technology for riders who want it all: a racing precision chassis with the worlds most powerful series single-cylinder, an upgraded engine with 690 cc, a crankshaft with greater stroke, new mapping and numerous detail optimisations provide an impressive 51.5 kW/70 Hp of power and a maximum torque of 70 Nm. Marchesini aluminium rims with an orange rim ring, a black anodised triple clamp, the orange R-tubular space frame and a whole range of additional black-coated components act as one refined part after another to underline the Duke 690 Rs status as an exceptional motorcycle.

690 Duke R

Exhaust system
Its what comes out that matters: the installation position of the silencer provides an optimally low centre of gravity from a riding perspective and the regulated catalytic converter ensures adherence with the Euro-III emissions values.

Mudguard

Manually laminated carbon mudguard supplied as standard. The carbon fibre component made in Germany by carbon specialist WETHJE is 60% lighter and reduces the unsprung masses on the front wheel by over 300 g.

Framework

The LC4 engine is currently regarded as the worlds reference point for large-volume single-cylinder four-stroke engines. When looking at the Duke as a whole, however, it really is just one part. Precisely like the coated Torx screws. Only the sum of all the parts (however small they are) makes the Duke so exceptional.
Swing arm Technical chassis designs are somewhat of an amazing thing as they have a very low weight compared to their load capacity. Although you can see this on bridges and cranes, it is particularly impressive here: a single-piece cast aluminium swing arm with optimal torsional and bending stiffness thanks to framework ribs with variable wall strengths. The result: a light weight part of barely 4,000 g that is attractive and has infinite mechanical grip.
Frame This frame is so stunning that we have even coated it in orange for the R-model. The intelligent design using thin-walled chrome-molybdenum steel provides maximum torsional stiffness and directional stability at a weight of just 9 kg. Electronic Power Throttle (EPT) The engine management system monitors the riders throttle commands. If the rider goes too hard on the right twist grip, the opening speed of the throttle valve is regulated to ensure that the motorcycle always powers forward vehemently but never jerkily. Handlebar Butted aluminium handlebar supplied as standard. Black anodised triple clamps. Fork Fully-adjustable upside-down fork with 140 mm spring travel, specially tuned for racing. The torsionally stiff inner tubes on the 48 mm version are carefully polished, hard-chrome plated and then coated in particularly low friction titanium-aluminium-nitride, which is about 2.5 times harder than hard-chrome.

Wheels Specially designed aluminium rims from Marchesini with an orange rim ring.
Rear Brake The floating 1-piston brake calliper is attached to the swing arm together with the socket instead of all the parts having to be removed when changing a tyre, they remain precisely where they should be.
First Oil Filling for all KTM Engines.
You dont get anything from nothing: getting stable, cultivated and reliable 51.5 kW/70 HP from a single-cylinder engine (in the case of the 690 Duke 48 kW/65 HP) requires a bit of effort. A few key concepts for technically exquisite designs: expensive, lightweight forged piston supplied as standard, hollow stem valves, extremely sturdy carbon coating on many sliding parts, active engine housing ventilation, shot-peened tooth profiles. This technical equipment not only makes the LC4 engine extremely high-revving and powerful, but also makes it so reliable that we can extend the maintenance intervals for the 2011 model by 50%.

Engine

Front brake Brembo system with a 320 mm disc, radial main brake cylinder and radially mounted 4-piston brake calliper with 4 brake pads. Steel flex brake lines supplied as standard.
APTC The anti-hopping clutch supplied as standard prevents undesired brake judder.

690 Duke

l ig h t w e ig h t
The current Duke 690 has a bit more to offer than the original Duke: quiet running and a suitability for pillion riding, touring and long-distance journeys for example. In adding these benefits, however, it has certainly not lost its intensive and intrinsic riding dynamics, which cannot be found on any other motorcycle in the world and cannot be described using words. A 10-minute test ride will explain everything.

R a d ic a l l y

Supermoto meets ergonomics: The incredibly comfortable seat on the Duke perfectly conveys the riding situation to the rider, while at the same time providing the necessary hold and grip for every manoeuvre. And we really mean every manoeuvre.
We really are quite proud of the fact that these two ellipsoid eyes are used by almost every well-known Streetfighter tuner. But the original can only be found on the Duke: a mean look that says Im coming past.

C h il l i c o n Orange

Warning: this is not a sensible motorcycle. This motorcycle is a motorised, mechanical embodiment of terms like uncompromising, voracious and consistent. Sensible motorcycles look completely different. And feel completely different too.
No discussions: a lightweight mono-seat rear with a seat that we are intentionally not calling a pad provides the response that R-pilots know to appreciate, including in family discussions. Possible arguments include: the seat is so hard that you wouldnt want to sit on it anyway and youll get a thrashing there too.

Mono Seat

Exhaust System
There are many good reasons why KTM produces its bikes in Austria: for one, the welding wizards in Mattighofen. They fuse forged, stainless sheet steel together with exquisite weld seams to form true silencer works of art just like on the Super Duke. With integrated cat and a great sound.

990 SUPER DUKE R

la ma i so n
This frame is about as heavy as a lightweight mountain bike. However, the 9 kg lightweight design made from thin-walled chromemolybdenum steel with a screwed on light alloy subframe can control over 130horse power. For the R-version, the chassis has been adapted to the uncompromising uses: for example, through greater ground clearance, a modified steering head angle and a shorter caster angle.
Also exclusively for the SuperDuke R: fully-adjustable WP steering damper, CNC machined and black anodised triple clamps, radial fittings and Akrapovic manifold.

Steering damper

High-end racing technology from the factory: fullyadjustable 48 mm upside-down fork with highly sporty R-tuning. The skid pipes are carefully coated with titanium-aluminium-nitride in a process which is basically as follows: the sliding surface is first carefully polished, then hard-chrome plated and finally given a TiAIN coating. The result is about 2.5 times as hard as hard-chrome and so even and smooth that the fork is highly sensitive due to the minimised breakaway force.
The LC8 engine has been completely overhauled for the R-version: lighter piston, adapted crank mechanism, larger titanium inlet valves, optimised cooling circuit, new R-mapping and the throttle valve body from the 1190 RC8 are just a few features of the new model. With 97kW/132 Hp, the LC8 engine in the R-version has about 10% more power than the basic version. The maximum torque of 110 Nm abuts about 000/min later. However, the raw figures alone do not do this 1 engine justice. A great sentence that we once read in this regard: KTM HP is like scoring an away goal at the European Cup: its worth twice as much.

A feast for the eyes

The 990 Super Duke has given new meanings to terms like handling, agility, weightlessness and explosiveness in the sporty naked bikes segment. It immediately came out top in numerous international comparison tests and is truly living up to its name as a Duke. If this motorcycle didnt already exist someone would have to invent it. Presumably us.

Tachometer
In times of sensory overload, a glance at the basics can be extremely calming. Overhauled instrument panel (including for all LC4 and LC8 models).

990 SUPER DUKE

The face
Strong faces are sharply contoured. Just like on the Super Duke. Not a single gram of extra weight that could impair the riding dynamics. The unmistakeable identity of a powerful opponent. The face of a champion.

Percent Zero Fat

the heart of the Super Duke is the LC8 75-twin seen as the yardstick among the high-revving series two-cylinder motorcycles. The intelligent design with a multifunctional balance shaft makes it the lightest and most compact V2 in its class. The sophisticated engine design impresses through its explosive power with a very soft and even throttle response. The uniqueness of this engine is evident even before you have moved a metre. Simply press the starter button and see how the engine reacts to even the tiniest turn of the throttle. The 990 Super Dukes LC8 is particularly powerful in the mid-speed range. Maximum power: 88 kW/120 HP. Maximum torque: 100 Nm.
Chassis We could spend ages talking about the special chassis design on the 990 Super Duke, about handling, stability and mechanical grip, but we want to be brief: we believe that this is the best naked bike chassis on the market. Thats it. Shock absorber The shock absorber is directly connected to the swing arm for maximum sensitivity. Fully-adjustable compression damping separated in high and low speed and rebound damping, 160mm spring travel.
Fork WP Suspension upside-down fork with a 48 mm diameter. The broad adjustment range makes optimal tuning possible. Fully-adjustable compression and rebound damping, 135 mm spring travel.
Brake Brembo brake system with a radial main brake cylinder, two radially mounted 4-piston brake callipers and a 320 mm brake disc at the front. Floating single piston brake calliper and 240 mm brake disc on the rear.
Swing arm At a length of 575 mm, the swing arm carries the main responsibility for 990 Super Dukes mechanical grip. The swing arms conical profiles make them particularly light and stable and cost a small fortune.

QUALITY

m a d e in a u s t r ia
Made in Austria by riders for riders. Designers without racing experience are a rarity at KTM. Thats why every KTM follows the logic of the race. So that you never tire, so that the ergonomics fit perfectly, so that no additional ballast is carried, so that every maintenance task is particularly easy, so that they reliably withstand the hardest of tests, where they reveal their decisive advantage. Whether by means of the most elaborate computer simulation or aluminium spacer sleeves, by the use of roller-bearing-mounted levers or laser-cut frame tubes, meticulously designed and welded by robot for absolute consistency and freedom from inherent tension. No one else expends so much effort. Effort thats worthwhile: As you ride, you can feel the quality in the hidden details.

It knows what point to set first. It draws the seams perfectly in the most intelligent sequence. It welds a few kilogrammes of Cr-Mo steel tubing into one of the lightest, most stable and most precise frames in motorcycling history. A KTM frame. Every KTM frame.

Welding robot

Perfection
Made in Austria those who make everything control the quality of the outcome themselves. When it comes to the main assemblies, KTM relies on its own expertise: frame, exhaust, engine, even the shock components from WP designed, computed and tested in Orange County.

Quality assurance

Nothing assures quality better than the masterly work of well-trained hands. All KTM parts undergo meticulous checks by experienced specialists people who know what really matters when it comes to riding.

Laser cutting

High-precision laser cutting machines cut the raw material precisely to the required lengths with perfect cutting lines. Together with the clean welding work, this process ensures that KTM frames arrive in final assembly practically free of inherent tension and incomparably true-to-size.
