I fitted a Kaoko cruise control  on my GTR. Easy fit and superb for use on highways. Remember that it don't adjust the speed as an electronic cruise control.

The new bike's in the garage...the weather is shit...ooh it's gonna be a long winter.

Gotta love the youtube.

Did check out the KTM international web site.
You can put the VIN in their service/safety site. No recalls found for the GT.
Picking it up tomorrow.
Maybe the weather will show me some mercy, so I get to ride it before parking it in the garage.

Thank you for info. I have understood that the recall only was for the Super Adventures. Will check it out.
There was two recalls for the GT as of 9/12-16. Replacing the sidestand and reprograming the exhaustvalve.
This will be fixed before delivery.

Thanx beegee.

Thank you.
Hope I will enjoy the KTM as much as the GTR.
I know the chain drive is a step back. And the weather protection ar not as good.
But on my summer holiday trip in the north of Norway me an my traveling friend traded bikes for two days. I drove his Ducati Diavel in all kinds of weather. Fantastic fun bike, no weather protection at all. Strangely it didn't bother me much.
The Diavel is to cramped for me and the seating position on the Multistrada where just strange for me. So no Ducati. But i knew I had to have a big twin.
And when I discovered that there where a KTM dealer just 2.5 hours away with a GT in stock that I got for a really god price the choice was simple.

Picking up one of these next Friday... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrPuTOpVxEs ...
The GTR have been great but now it's time for a change. Wanted something different.
Hoping for a warm winter.

Good to hear you are happy with your seat.The forward slide starts to be really anoying after half a day riding.
Need to find a solution to this problem.
Never tried a heated seat on a motorcycle.
Will try one with a heated seat before I buy me a new seat.

Please post your thoughts of the seat when you have tried it on a long ride.

Hi, anybody tried the Saddlemen Stealth seat for the GTR1400 (C14) ?

Hello JohnnyTh, are your new seat better than the original seat?

Put on new set of tires. PR4 GT with 55 rear.  And new breakpads at  the front.

Finaly got time to install the PCV and the O2 eliminators.
Much smoother idle and gone are anoying surge at steady trottle.
And the power delivery are superb.

Removing the flies and adding a fuel management
or reflashing the ECU (probably a better solution) transforms the bike.

I think now it works the way it should have done of the facory line.

The power are not to brutal. It pulls smooth from 1000 rpm in 6th.gear.

Making long trips much more relaxed, less gearchanges.
Just roll the trottle and of she goes.

Hi, the Power Commander V comes in two different versions for the GTR. One for the -08-09 (PN:17-013) and one for the -10 and up PN:(17-022). Anyone around who know the differens between these? Are there possible to use the one for the -10 modell on the -08-09 models?

One of the best colour combinations ever...1985 or 2015.
Just hope mother Kawa can hire a New exhaust designer.
