I had a KTM 690 SMC. I bought it used and was told by original owner, no almost warned by original owner, to only use Motorex 10w60 in it. It's also stated to use only that oil in that bike in the KTM owners manual.
I just purchased a KTM 1290 Super Duke R and Motorex labeling is on the bike and specified in the owners manual.
Really, if warranted, I'd have no issue spending $20/liter for this oil. The question I have is why should I when there are very good products for less. Mind you the owners manual also suggests use of KTM brake fluid, chain cleaner and lube, coolant, fork oil and even polishing waxes!
Anyone know why Motorex products are so highly encouraged in KTM bikes?
