Today we changed the rear tire. I'm up to my third on now in 13 months. After the stock one I put on a Pirelli diablo and now I went for the Pirelli Angel ST. Broke it in for about 40 km and it feels good!
Changed to my 3rd rear tire today

No not yet. Might give it a shot later. The last one lasted for about 7.200 km. The maxxis only 5.300 km.

Hi! Diablo strada, also touring. But hey, you can spank em too. Spanked the Angel ST today and held its ground just fine. The Stada lasted 7300 km and that not bad for my riding style.

I had two sets of Pirelli Angel ST's on my Aprilia Shiver, and loved them. For the kind of riding I do, they were ideal, good grip and very hard wearing. I got 15,000 kms out of the rear, and 20,000 kms out of the front!! I've just ordered a set for my 790, for when the stock Maxxis rubber is done. BTW, for anybody in Canada looking for great prices on various brands of tire, I would highly recommend Pete's Superbike in Quebec. I've bought three sets of tires from Pete's, and haven't found anywhere with better prices. And shipping to Vancouver is only about $30 the pair! The Pirelli Angel ST's I just bought were $295 the pair, inc taxes and shipping!
Wow. My oem rear is gone at 3 km. I just ordered the 5’s. I’ve used them on the 1290 Super Duke and did get an added 1-1500 km
Same here

First vinyl wrap attempt
What Did You Do To Your KTM 790 Duke Today?While still looking (and squirreling away $$ from the wife) at a new slip on, I wanted to tone down the giant silver stock exhaust a bit. I was planning on painting the heat shield when I saw a few had wrapped it with vinyl. Figured I’d give it a go and see how it turned out. Overall, it was a...- 15

EBay rack
What Did You Do To Your KTM 790 Duke Today?Shipping delayed by Covid, so was surprised when it did arrive a little sooner than predicted.

Changed pads to EBC EPFA HH
What Did You Do To Your KTM 790 Duke Today?These now lift the rear wheel off the ground with two fingers, so that is much better than grabbing a handfull of mush with the OE pads IMO. I am wondering though, how will this effect the lean sensor modulated ABS when braking and turning at the same time? Any ideas?- 3
