Atttack_690:
You sir have an outstanding ability to control your anger. I'd
be livid if "they" left me hanging, not knowing what the rules
"will be" to obtain KTM Warranty Service at 4,000 miles. I'd
wager most of the folks on this forum won't put 4K on the bike
over the whole first year.
I sure hope this turns out well for you.
RR

I'm doing exactly as they recommended. We will see how the
conflict is finally resolved. I ride a lot and since I've been
building my 1290 I've only been riding the 690R. I'll keep
everyone updated. Look forward to being a part of this forum.

I feel you pain brother. Shame on KTM for not amending the
engine break-in procedure and informing their dealers of the
change. I had to add half a quart of oil, a quarter of the
distance through a long trip last year. I used a semi-syn to
see if it would help reduce the oil consumption. It did. The
bike didn't need oil until I returned home from the trip, (2300
miles total). The bike seems to be consuming oil within KTM's
parameters now.

How many miles are on your 690? What year is your 690? Also how
many miles does it take to burn 1 liter of oil?
Thanks for the replies.
I'm switching to the Motorex Sportmax 10w50 as recommended this
week. I made KTM pay for 6 liters of oil. We will see what the
consumption is like then. I'm also going to put the bike on the
dyno to see the difference in HP with that oil. (Cool thing
about having a dyno at your disposal is you can test parts all
the time ;D)

Picked up the 10w50 Sportmax (Mineral Based) oil KTM wanted me
to run for the next 2,000 miles to get the rings to seat (Made
KTM pay for 6 liters). Changed the oil last night. I recorded
the odometer reading and took pictures again showing no oil in
the window. Time to keep copious notes for the next several
weeks to see how the consumption is going for warranty. KTM
stated at 4k miles they will warranty the rings if the bike is
still consuming copious amounts of oil ::) I just want to let
the community know in case someone else has the same issues and
what KTM plans on doing about it...
