Hi all,
Quick question,
I’ve bought a set of front forks,supposedly from a 690 but I’m not so sure that they are actually off of one.
The forks have compression damping adjusters on the bottom and rebound at the top on both legs,they are also fitted with air bleed valves.
I was under the impression that 690 forks had compression on one leg,rebound on the other:confused:

The older 690s used these forks, I think they changed when KTM introduced the twin spark version in 2014 - :thumb
 
Around 2009 ? Are they from Duke or enduro.. should be tunable for a heavier bike..looks interesting :D
 
i have a twin spark14 plate,
compression dialer only on the top of the left leg,rebound on the right obviously.nothing anywhere else for adjustment..

That’s what I thought,
It made me think the forks were from a different model.
Maybe these are the better set then.?
For info,
Top yoke dia 54mm
Lower 60mm
Wheel spindle 26mm
