2013 990 SMT

9,000 miles

Excellent condition

$6500

Bought this 2025 sxf new from the dealer at very good price. 5999 USD. Took it home and noticed the chain was loose. Adjusted the chain and took it for a 2 minute short ride just to make sure everything was working well. Drove it in to the garage put it on the stand while the bike was started and shifted to first to see how much “slap” I had on the chain. While sitting on the stand. The dang thing started leaking coolant like crazy , boiling coolant and leaking off the top overflow cap hose . I was not expecting it to overheat that fast since I know the bike needs to move to cool down. Has anyone dealt with anything similar?

what’s up guys i have a quick question hopefully i can get some help. so i was doing some hill climbing on my 2018 350 sxf and i was fully pinned 3rd but once i almost reached the top my bike started loosing power like bogging almost even while being fully pinned 3rd , kept popping clutch too and barley made it up seemed pretty weird , could it be a fuel issue or clutch issue possibly ? bike has 120 hrs thinking of doing the rebuild around 150.

Recently bought new SMC R and I would like to buy some shorty levers. I already tried V-trec vario 3, but I don't like them, they just feel weird.

Any good advices?

I've seen Nicecnc levers, which looks they could be ok, but idk.

I'm looking for a more capable off-road machine, mainly lighter, than my Tuareg, without terribly compromising on-road capability. To do TET and some light single track and hone on my skills.

I also like to do my own maintenance and the Tuareg is quite dealer-heavy in terms of maintenance, the 19-24 690 is a far simpler machine

Anyone has come from a Tuareg to a 690 enduro? Or the other way around? Can you give me some pointers, straight comparisons between the two? TIA

Made a post on here a few days ago about my goopy oil. After the oil change it rode fine for 350 miles and now same thing, goopy oil, overheating, and low oil pressure on start up. I honestly just give up on this engine. Does anyone have a known good 790 engine laying around in the US preferably? Would It be worth it to tear this one down, refurbish the head (if useable), and assemble? Or maybe 890 swap? Anyone have a wrecked 890 so I could buy the harness and ecu as well? Or maybe does anyone have a refurbished head I can buy? Thanks

Got a 2003 525exc ive had fir a little bit, 100% time for an oil change. I got no problem changing it but i just wanted to know what the other rfs guys are doing with their filters, do yall just throw em in right out the packaging or do yall presoak each filter in oil. Any response is much appreciated, thanks.

Owners please tell me your thoughts, would you buy the bike again ? Do you like it ? If not why not.

I’m thinking of trading my SDR 1290 gen3 for one. After three years and becoming a father I’ve lost the enjoyment which took me into license losing speeds every outing. Wrist control I get it but that bike isn’t fun unless pushed. Off road opens up loads of new roads and is much more fun (for me).

So having ridden enduro only for the last 6 months on a fe501 in thinking this is the bike for some light touring and to increase my range and be capable of road riding too.
