Did you do your clutch oil jet whilst there? I dropped down to 16T on the 990 too.

I guess you saw this thread. http://www.ktmsmt.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5431

Yeah I guess the 1290 really needs lower gearing; must be really hard to wheelie :shock:

Aye it seems to have a reasonable amount of 'go' :D

Did you change to a larger jet....seems that 0.5mm is all the rage? And what were the differences?
