The KTM 690 Enduro R is doable for short riders. It truly is. We have gone to great lengths to prove this. In this video we show the direct results of various inseams applied to those Second is almost the same, third is between third and fourth of the KTM, same with fourth gear and as you can see, fifth of the BMW is taller than sixth of the KTM. At race pace on the track, the 6 speed of the KTM would win, but in the real world, with a slower rider (ME), the BMW’s gearing is better. The 690 is certainly better offroad than any drz. I've done OBCDR for 8 days on it carrying everything, with 3 other riders, 2 of which also bought 690's (and also amateur racers), the other was a retired pro that picked an rxv. We all found it the perfect long distance light adventure bike. It does ride tall which is a turn off for shorter riders. 1.75 m. Never had any problems, neither with the Motard kit nor enduro kit. IMO it's just a matter of habit. Of course, in enduro the height helps you to manage the bike better, but even if you are short you can still carry it. It is a little more difficult but not impossible. I had a ktm 690 enduro r and it was definitely better offroad but onroad it's no comparison, T7 is a better all around bike imo. If you weren't doing any highway riding and just wanted something barely street legal it would be a different answer. If I was choosing a bike to ride around the world on the T7 would be on the short list. For dirt bikes, this measurement should be 30% to 33% of the total travel. Example: 12″ travel x .33%=4″ sag. Linkless KTM models have 13.2″ of travel and the sag should be 105-110mm. Measuring Free Sag Using the same measurement points as used for the rider sag, measure the rear suspension sag with no rider aboard. 189. Location: Sacramento, CA. Howdy pilgrims, I have my 2014 KTM 690 enduro R, and it has the SMC wheels and the Stock enduro wheels. When I bought the bike, it had the SMC wheels on it, now that winter is coming I'm going to be throwing the stock knobbies back on it. The gearing for my SMC wheels is 15F/41R. The enduro wheel gearing is 15F/45R. Anyway, after this adjustments, lever fits well. However, it is not shorter than OEM lever, so my little finger is still in jeopardy. I will keep on searching for shorter lever. I found that OEM clutch lever for 2012 KTM 450 SX-F should be exact fit. Part number is 50302031300, and price is just bellow 50 EUR. xyAsX.
