KTM 690SMC-R on A2 license , restrictor kill switch or..

Rob690 · Apr 29, 2016

Hi everyone,

Firstly, my name is Rob and I'm from the Netherlands. I assume, just like in here, you guys have the A2 license bs too. So I thought I should ask around a bit here.

My KTM dealer said to me that the 690 SMCR are out of production, so he struggled to get one for me. This to me, sounded a bit weird.. why would they stop the 2016 production, 5 months after they released the 2016 model? Ok... nvm.

So they are gonna put the A2 mapping on there. Plus the Akra silencer.

I have 2 questions:
1. Is the engine going to run lean with this mapping icw the akra silencer?

2. I know if you ride the bike (A2) without the proper license(A), you are not insured = alot of **** if you **** up... It's a big risk with a machine that whispers you in the ear to rip that rear tire apart...
So, as far as i know, there's no way you can switch between mappings while riding, SO if you could "Kill Switch" the bike when having an accident, But the killswitch is permanent, untill you "decrypt" the switch.. maybe there is no way they could ever test if the bike is really 30 KW ish?

I know there are some threats about this BUT I didn't see this thought comming by anywhere..

I should legally spend 2 years on a 40hp 690.. but seriously I can't wait that long

Hope you guys could help me out a lil.

Do you need some certificate to prove to your insurance that the bike is restricted down to 40bhp

Rob690 · Apr 29, 2016

The bike doesn't have a license plate yet, they are going to put a new license plate on it that says 30ish KW's on the license papers. So I don't need any certificate to insure it. But the insurance company knows it's A2 because of the license papers.

I know alot of people driving with 25kw or A2 on a not restricted bike, but I'm not them. So I need to know if it's really such a big deal, and if it is, if shutting the engine down going to stop them from finding out it being not restricted.

The Cops in Holland will just have a "bong and blintz, a crepe and a pipe" they won't care, you crazy Dutch bastard

Yeah lol, cops here are pretty relaxed (in common).. except when you run over a child or something.. But you guys are right, I'm worrying to much about this, like when I hit a pedestrian I should just cut the ignition cables or something. (in case they are gonna investigate ma bike, tho I wish them luck with the software restrict.. they won't see any restriction from the outside..)

I must tell you guys, Back in the days, when I had a moped (derbi senda) I was in a getaway and I was noob so I turned in a corner looking behind me instead of the corner and hit some stupid curb and smashed into the ground. Them coppers came op to me , they wanted to dyno me but they thought it was so sad my moped was all demolished theyd let me go :scooter: So ye, let's DO THIS:smokin:
