KTM 990 what to look for?

I agree with Wonky. Personally you can normally tell if it's been well maintained and not just polished.

I bought a brand new one in 2014, best thing I ever did.
ABS brakes are shit though and my oil pressure switched failed last year at 12000 miles. £406 or so to replace it !

You my friend had your pants down, that is an absolute max £50 job including parts for any dealer. And as Bob said £7 and half hours work if you can use a spanner.

Unless you're looking at my shonky looking 60,000 miler Allan, Looks like its been through a hedge backwards, in fact it has,forwards and upside down a fair few times as well. However it wants for absolutely nothing mechanically with every single service fully completed and documented.

You cant always judge a book by its cover.

It's amazing how you can misread something, oil pressure switch £4.95 from Dingbro? Remove all of the airbox etc to properly access the oil pressure switch and give the engine a check over and service while I'm stripping it down.
While it's stripped down install the Rottweiler kit, snap out bracket, and storage box. https://www.zenoverland.com/ktm_950-adv ... e_ktm.html
Best mod I've done to it.

Well picked mine up today. Superb bit of kit. Very snatchy and surges at low speed though. Might see if remapping will help a bit.

Check out Hall Of Wisdom too for advice

Stick some decent fuel in it.
they are very sensitive to cheap gas.

I put the rc8 throttle cam on mines and it helped quite a bit
