  1. I got a D tracker in about April 2009, First I had a lot of problem with it that it just stopped and would not start again. The Kawasaki shop changed the computer, and the problem was solved, they told me some of the computers had some errors this year.

    One Month later I went back to the shop, irritated that the bike normaly did not go over 114KM, One time downhill 218km.

    They then told me to buy a japan computer for 8000Bath, And I did. The bike did not change much in 1,2,3 gear, but 4,5,6 it changed a lot, I can now go 155km with it. But the bike wobles a bit when you pass 135km. If I want even more power during accleration they told me to change to japan exhaust system. I think it was around 20K Bath for a full system. included installation.

    If I don't find a place to phurchase a brand new KTM SMC 690 within January, I will go for the Japan exhaust system, just to make me a bit more happy.

    So Please let me know if there is any news regarding KTM in thailand

  2. Then they swapped my ECU in the recall and now I can rev to 11,000 in all gears where I could try that safely. Now the bike definitely doesn't feel weak anymore, and I can get to 120 easily maybe even 130 on a straight flat when pushing it to the limit. And that's pretty much as fast as I want to go on a bike like this, there's a lot of wind and shaking going on already. Others have said the new ECU made no difference for them, so it seems a bit hit and miss there, sadly - can't really say that Kawa solved the higher RPM issue completely.

    There are reports of an 8000 BHT ECU replacement that unlocks the full power of the bike too.

    Dont take this as too strong as I kinda like the d-Tracker and see it as having potential myself for a fun bike but..

    120 and maybe 130... KPH !! Out of a 250 !! Thats simply pathetic.. I can get 110 out of a 112cc kwaker cheer thats maybe 10 years old and with 60k kms on the clock !! If I really wound it up over a long straight and laid flat I might see the similar speeds or at least a bit closer.. 20 years ago I could get +-100 kph out of a 50cc !! A 125 sonic or a 150 raider will fly past these speeds.

    A 250 should pull 140 plus, and should get there with some authority.. Even this kind of motard design style.. The d-tracker / klx is really weak feeling for a 250.. Why I dont know, and I would love to ride one with the new mod ECU or one hotted up.. All the potential is there but having grown up on dirtbikes, most of which were 2 strokers, this 4 stroke FI emissions controlled power plant feels a big step down.

    Cheers guys - real opinions from real riders

    Hi, i bought a the d tracker motard last month during my stay in Pattaya, I sw a new shop at the sukumvit road, stopped, tryied one and bought one, I think it is great around the Pattaya city area, and it is quite quick up to 80, and then it slows very down. But it is solid, god handling and good brakes, wich was the reason i bought it, i was tired of the renting the scooters with lack of brakes. Had problems with it after just 3 days, it just keept stopping, they changed the computer brain, then th problem went away, but felt no changes at all regarding the power. But as many say it is so solid, but just a lacks a bit more power. So please tell me, if anybody knows what i can do to give it more power and go faster, without changing the front teeth, i need the accleration it has. My d tracker stops at 114, and you need to leen down to get it up to 118-119....
