690 Enduro
690 Enduro
Evening guys, I’m In the market for a 690 enduro and thinking of using it for my only bike (selling my Bmwf800gsa 2015 and Ktm450exc 2003). So my question is who has a 690 and what are your thoughts on them? Also what sort of mileage have you got. Many thanks in advance.

Re: 690 Enduro
I have a 2009 enduro which I bought new and is now approaching 30kkms. It has been reliable but there are some cheap plasticky bits. Front forks are a bit basic, apparently exc forks are a big improvement but I really can’t be arsed. Seat is crap. Original discs, pads and wheel bearings are rubbish. Mine is now a lot more robust. E-09 back tyre, MT 21 front. Mine has had very frequent oil changes but not always using the v expensive motorex 10 - 60.

Re: 690 Enduro
I was talking with my friend. He said that 690 has great power and get its max speed easily. 0-60 in 3-4 seconds? But... he has recently changed it to 790 enduro. Btw, if you are selling your motorcycles, there is a good platform for such purposes https://thecustommotorcycle.co.uk/ .
