The engine crash guard is really good for protecting the engine. I installed this without using any special tool, The difficult and most important part is the engine holding knot (the one you got the broken hanger) I got no issues installing this crash guard.

That's good. Sometimes people have trouble getting the bolts in, especially in that top mount because the powdercoat is in the threads and needs to be cleaned out before you put the bolt in.

@@MotoMirius One thing that I did to make it easier is to use the one bolt included with the crash guard, then use the hammer 🔨 to smash it lightly enough with rubber or any clothes at the head of the original bolt, to push the old one out while the new bolt being inserted into the hanger hole. But be careful to smash lightly.

@@JeffOConnorAU No, nothing additional just hammer and the clothes/rubber for protection for the bolt head. I think you can imagine how I do it, first thing first: - park the bike 🏍 in stationary with side-stand - unscrew the engine-hanger bolt, the one that we will install the crash guard - keep the original bolt in place, - use the givens bolt that come with the crash guard, the longest one - put the new bolt’s tail ( this part has screwed pattern) right on the original bolt tail (the one we are going to push out from the engine and hanger hole) - try pushing it with hammer lightly in order to insert it in the engine-hanger hole Tip*** You can use additional supporting for the engine in case it drops from the hanger, but as long as you smash the bolt well, you don’t need it

At 7:39 in your video you mentioned that corrosion is a problem “with these Indian bikes.” I am new to the KTM Brand and have just purchased a 2015 KTM Duke 690. I know that KTM is an Austria brand. From your comment, does that mean that KTM has a production plant in India?

KTM makes the small Dukes 125 to 390 in India - I believe they have assembly plants elsewhere but I think the parts are made in India - it's all subcontracted to an Indian bike manufacturer Bajaj - KTM will make all the up to 500cc bikes (Duke, RC and Adventure) in India. As far as I'm aware all of the larger bikes such as yours have been and are made in Austria.

Hi Moto Mirius, I appreciate the video as I am buying a cage for the engine but my question is regarding the fork sliders, I havent installed the front left one because i didnt want to risk doing anything without knowing about it, so my question is when you remove the front left bolt and install the slider in its place do you have to torque it to spec or just rely on feeling, and is it safe to remove the bolt and replace it with an alan screw bolt? Thank you very much for your content as it helped me install a slip on on my 390 all by myself.

Hi and thanks. It would be better to torque to spec if you can. I would leave the bolt - allen screws are more likely to round out and you would need to find one of the same grade as the bolt.

If you bought the KTM Powerparts ones they come with longer bolts. If you saved money with used but didn’t get the bolts or bought the Chinese ones that don’t come with the bolts then you’ll need to buy the bolts. Which need to be the right grade of steel so probably hard to find and not cheap.

if you remove the 2 support rods and if without the jack to support the weight of the engine block, will engine block drop down? I don't have jack and I wonder if it is safe to do the installation on my own.

It's always good practice to support the engine when removing engine mountings, and if the rear of the engine drops down even a very small amount then it could be quite hard to get the new rod through - a basic jack is all that is needed, it doesn't have to be an expensive hydraulic unit. Most people will know someone who has one or can borrow one from their car. Good luck! Skäl David

Cheers for that. There are a couple of places that do it on eBay. The one I bought from works for the insurance companies so you have some confidence that it isn’t structurally damaged and is HPI clear. Whether it’s value for money is harder to judge. Resale value is lower and whilst you can get it insured I’m pretty sure they will be painful if you ever need to claim. On the other hand there are plenty of previously crashed bikes being sold to unaware buyers. And bikes with clear log books are now coming back marked up with previous write offs even the sellers were unaware of. There are good reasons to do it but there are drawbacks too of course. Great to hear from you again. 👍 skäl. David

There is an Indian made more Adventure oriented version of these bars which also include radiator protection but I don't recall the name. If you are running a road oriented bike you could use the KTM case guards with the Bagoros Performance radiator guards. I wouldn't recommend the ones that just bolt over the radiator because these risk damaging the frame in a crash (and have done) - cheaper to buy a new radiator than a new bike.
