MAINTENANCE LIST KTM 690 ENDURO -

A LIST WITH ALL THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE WORK DONE TO MY KTM 690 ENDURO R

More than a decade ago I learned how to use my hands in combination with mechanic tools in a sometimes more, and sometimes less professional way. As a consequence, I’m doing the required maintenance work and repairs on my motorcycle by myself.

Overall I have to say that Чернотa is a very reliable KTM 690 Enduro R. In the meanwhile it has over 140.000 km or 86.000 MI on the Odo.

Down below, you will find an ongoing list with all the maintenance work and necessary repairs I did to Чернотa. There are also a few assorted maintenance pics with a maintenance description down below.
