馃彯 Ktm 690 Duke Oil Change
Today鈥檚 690 DUKE stays faithful to its ancestor鈥檚 ways, but adds future-proof refinements: impressive smoothness, sophisticated electronics, improved ergonomics and tons of grunt. This firmly cements the world鈥檚 strongest single-cylinder production motorcycle at the cutting edge of engineering. Long live the Duke!
If you don't want to spring for a new spring, try going to a heavier fork oil. I'm not sure what the factory uses but I am thinking going with a 10 wt oil. Mv Versys 650 was pretty soft on the front end. Adjusting the sag made it better but it still had a tendency to dive under braking. Switching to 10 wt oil resolved the issue.

The Duke 690 R is from 2011. Already in the winter of 2012/2013 I got a 796 ccm Big Bore Kit of Josef Frauenschuh. The result was 81 HP and 91 NM torque at the engine - not at the rear wheel. In below diagram you can see the different between almost stock (Akra under floor exhaust and Akra mapping and the modified JF engine.

If the smell changes, it's oil. Check the oil for coolant and the coolant for oil. Pull the plug and see what it looks like. Re-tighten at 1/4 turn past finger tight.
