It wasnt a ROCK. It was on a nice gravel highway. Some of the rocks are in the road, half underground, other half sticking out. Nice and round of the years of riding over them. So I come over the rise, see the stone/rock, try to miss it but dont do much effort cause I know it wont do anything to the bike. I was on 160kph. So the front clips the stone/rock/boulder wtf ever >:D and I hardly feel any impact on steering.
Bike pulls left, you turn right, fuckall happens!! It runs where it wants to!! So I locked up rear brake, and try my best to keep the front end on the gravel as far as I can. Eventually stopped in the veld next to the fence >:D

Dalk moet jy maar 'n tjoep begin saamry. Dit vat minder sweet om hom in te sit as om al die klippe in die omgewing te breek. Press hom weer reguit as jy in die dorp kom, te minste hou die verf dan so bietjie beter. Dit sal hom weer laat seel tot volgende naweek. 8)

After reading this thread, I have decided to take the flowing action. MANIC you are an embarrassment to the KTM society and should give the bike away and buy a tricycle. The KTM's front wheel should never be on the ground, hence they don't have to make them stronger. Harden the F@ck up and ride your bike like it is stolen. Come now get with the program. :peepwall: :pot:

Dis sleg as mens vertroue verloor in die masjien. Jy sal heeltyd worry oor wanneer dit weer gebeur. En jy gaan nou heeltyd op die uitkyk wees vir potensiele klippe en goed wat skade kan maak, en obviously gaan dit jou ryvermoë en vetroue raak. Nie lekker om so te moet ry nie.

Oplossing- ry teer en trailer vir grondpad. Hahaha
Nee, ernstig, dis sleg man. Katoom sal iets moet doen want stories soos die doen ongelukkig afbreek aan iets wat andersins 'n great bike is. Niemand het vrede oor die rims nie- hulle praat die bike sleg al is dit net die rims. Dis jammer nogal.
Maar aan die anderkant, realiteit is jy kan nie ry sonder wiele nie.

Ek is in gesprek met KTM TWINS in die states en hulle dink dat hulle die meer offroad bias excel rims sal kan fit op KTM 1190 hubs (sal tubes moet wees) korrespondensie soos volg (sal laat weet wat die uitkoms is):
I am sure that this could be done. We can't promise anything unfortunately simply because we have not received that bike into the states as of yet but I do show that your bike uses the standard 5mm Spokes that KTM likes to use on the Adventure. They aren't the same part number but that could have to do with color, coating or length due to the Tubeless Wheels that the new 1190 is running. Not sure if the bladder that is in your front and rear wheel will still fit in the new rim though. You may loose your tubeless wheels in the process.

I see under your 990/950 wheel selection you can select various options in building a wheel.
Could you fit and supply 21/1.85 front and 18/2.5 excell rims to the KTM 1190 Hubs?

No need to get rims and stuff from the USA. Just buy the DID rims and corresponding spokes from your KTM dealer. It has been done before.

Was at the LDBA ride last weekend. Most of the 1190's had front rim problems... Lots of hammering and tubes involved.

JP:I used the front hub of the 1190 and changed the rim to a smaller.
On the rear wheel I use the 990 hub but also a smaller rim.
Toors: why did you not use the 1190 hub in the rear? in using the 990 rear hub did you have to make/fit spacers? If so how did you get this done?
JP: On the rear wheel of the 1190R they are is using a different way of lacing the wheel.
So you can’t mount an offroad rim on the original hub.
The original 990 hub fits without spacers.

Went to LDBA this WE, what a fun... Add a 3kg hammer in your tool box, rim needs "rectification" every evening ;D. This rim is just crap and finished the WE completely destroyed.
More dangerous, when deflated, the tyre doesn't remain on the bead. Imagine the pothole coming straight to you at 160kph, tyre pressure loss instantaneously, tyre off the bead... no way to survive.
DID rim is being placed now + heavy duty tube,
Post by: Toors on June 18, 2013, 08:29:00 am
RAD informed me that they have ordered 20 kits to convert the front rims to 21/1.85 DID rims for the off-road fanatics amongst us _ I have also asked them to confirm that a 990 rim fits on the rear. Then just some Mitas E-10 and I am OK to go (will keep my "soft" rims for road riding and do complete wheels for offroad riding ;)

Had same problem with my 990. got 1190 now. No rim is going to survive a rock hit at 160kms/h!!! Best advise - when you see a rock coming up, accelerate - its helps lift front tyre. Did this a few times after same damage, and never had a problem again.

I hit my rim in a proper pothole in Swaziland, (I have the 19"Adventure not the "R") and I thought I dinged it as it was quite a hard shot, but luckily when I stopped it was fine.
My tyres were however hard as was scared of dinging the rims after reading all the stories on the forum. From there I decided to take it a bit easier. :thumleft:
I think if my tyre pressure was lower, I might have had a problem :o

I commute about 500km a week so I would like to keep the original wheels for that - but would really prefer something more aggressive for the weekend - so yes R30k is outch - but don't see me doing Namibia/Moz with the standard tyres and rims and still cheaper than keeping the 690 in the garage as well ???

But its just amazing how quickly the numbers add up. R30k you can use to buy a car or a nice plastic. :lol8: I know its not what you need or want and this is not directed at you at all.

Your wheels have 80% N in them already. How is 20% more going to affect heat build up? Tubes are a little more admin to change on the road. But once you get comfortable doing it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. But that is just me....

Also got them to give me rough idea of complete front wheel and(DID rim) (including bake discs and everything else required is about R12 500 have to order some bits and bobs.
I stayed with the std 990 rear wheel. Could not source a DID with correct width. The SE rear rim is narrower and you have to run 140 tyres. Front with 1.85" DID works.

When I was riding on the N2 between Pongola and Hluhluwe in january I saw my tire pressure went up to 2.8bar up front and 3.6 on the rear wheel. The heat build up is not really the issue for me, but when the moisture heats up and then expands the pressure increases as well. I dont know if I am way off base here but I have heard that an over inflated tire can compromise grip.
But if I am wrong I would gladly accept advice.

With the 300 plastic bike I spend quite a lot of time in the mountains. Traction noticeably improved when I converted the wheels to the tubeless (tubliss) system. This was especially notable in the times it rained and traction became more of a problem. Why do you think track bikes go to light weight composite wheels; simply the lower reciprocating mass improves handling and the suspension can do a better job. I do not like the extra weight of an ultra-thick inner tube and my opinion is to stay away from inner tubes as much as possible unless it becomes a safety issue. Another example is the foot-up trail bikes. They run tubeless because every bit of traction is required.
Maybe I am going if the topic a bit but I will keep my 1190 stock wheels as long as they`re round. ;D

Just put a claim in with the insurance company, going to get another rim from RAD. Will
Ride with 2.5 bar to make sure no smileys occur.
Have they done anything to the 2014 rims ?

I thought so, hell man. What other option does a man have. Ride around with this front wheel wobbling. Around at160kmh is not my idea of fun. And I also want to use my tpms so tube is out.
Excess is R500 so will see how the 2014 rim works

The only option I can think of to keep the standard rims would be fitting a tire with a very stiff sidewall, and keeping it on the recommended pressure even offroad. My damage occurred on the stock tires running the recommended pressure. So I decided to never deflate them when going off road. I had the damage with the suspension in comfort setting, preload set to full.

The problem is most probably that moisture has got into your tyres through an undessicated air line. The remedy is to take the tyres off, dry the insides and rims thoroughly, and when you inflate, make sure it's from a high quality pump that includes a dessicator to ensure the air is moisture free.
Moisture inside tyres turns to vapor during a long run (as the tyres heat up) and can lead to tyres bursting due to the massive increase in "gas" pressure in the tyres.

I have the 2014 model, just went past 6600km. Lowered my tyre pressure to 2 bar front and 2.2 bar back for a bit of Lesotho's dirt mountain pass travel, and then the trouble started.
Picked up 3 smileys on the front rim, nothing on the back. Had to nurse the bike to Mokhotlong with about 10 stops to pump tyres. Beat the smileys out with a claw hammer and continued the trip on to Sani Pass, had to do a bit more repairs at Himeville at the friendly guys from Yamaha, but made the trip back home with no more pressure loss.
The wheel is a little unbalanced at speed higher than 180km/h but has not lost any more pressure. I think the secret is to keep your tyre pressures above 2.4 bar.
Post by: Manic on June 09, 2014, 10:03:48 am
After I replaced complete front wheel, I kept front pressure at 2.5bar.
No smileys, but the rim aint round anymore. Looks like a rugby ball. And its a struggle to keep the front rim balanced >:D
Stock rim is soft, very soft :'(

Wil nie jou thread hijack nie maar jy moet maar 3600 Lumen spots opsit. Hulle werk baie goed! Sien die verskil tussen normale lig en 3600 Lumen spots op 'n 990...

Just got two more smileys on the front wheel. Stock front tyre running at 3.2bar. Hit a small rock at around 100km/h and shortly afterward I had a flat.

Teah I might have to ask the insurance to get me aftermarket rims, they would probably be cheaper than KTM original?

I will try and get the insurance to buy new ktm rims and then buy back my old ones to use the hubs, then I might go for tubed offroad rims with knobbie's on to play with.

That doesn't really bother me. I've been running a tubed 21" front for over two years and have not had it go flat (yet). 21" tubeless are quite rare and the only ones I can think of are this one and the HP2. It's hard to ensure a good lasting seal on a rim that narrow. As for the rear, when you go to a tube instead of tubeless, you have a MUCH bigger selection of tires to choose from, which I like. 17" rear has many more tubeless options but not 18".
Post by: 2wdrift on July 15, 2014, 05:34:12 pm
Ok the insurance will pay for both front and rear rims to be replaced. And I get another set of stock tyres thrown in as well. I guess they like repairing bent rims >:D
I am still thinking about going for aftermarket custom rims but I do not want to run a tube as I enjoy high speed riding too much.
Post by: Manic on July 15, 2014, 09:35:26 pm
Ek het my ou rims gevat. My Insurance was min gespin daaroor, hulle wou dit glad nie eers he nie.
So moenie dat KTM jou charge vir jou oues nie >:D

Ja ek wou eintlik die hubs ge hou het, en aan hulle offroad 990 rims laat lace. Maar KTM gaan die hubs weer gebruik.

Weet nie of hierdie 'n hijak op die 1190 thread is nie, maar hier kom hy:
Ek het die naweek smileys op my F800GS voor en agter rim opgetel en wonder of die versekering sal uitbetaal:
By wie is jy verseker en hoe het jy dit reggekry dat hulle vir jou ander nie OEM wiele koop?
Post by: Manic on August 05, 2014, 05:16:05 pm
Versekering vra of dit reggemaak kan word.
As die antwoord JA is, dan stuur hulle dit in vir repairs.
As Dealer se NEE, word dit vervang.
So hang af hoe groot is jou smiley, myne was onherstelbaar gewees.
