Hi all, Bought an R6, sold it and got an R1, found it a little heavier and even even after changing the gearing too much for the road. So I bought an ktm 1190. Love it, but missed the R6. So, I’ve bought another one and it’s good to be back. Pictures soon [emoji16]

And the 1190a, although it’s an old pic, changed the spots to round ones and done a few other bits to it since this pic. [emoji16]

I have to say, having gone from the r6, to the r1 sausage and back to the r6, I much prefer the 6 on the road. Power is sooo Much more usable for me, much better in the country lanes handling wise. I am a happy man!

Hiya stu
This has been looked in to a few times with the R1 as well as the R6 . The problem is that the wall of the liner and the liners are so close together that it's a bastard of a job and the guys have only found a couple of so companies that will do it but the expense means it's not very practical .
There's a couple of threads on here about it but the forum search engine a bit sh!t to say the least so you'll have to dig around .
If your hanging around the forum it'd be a good idea to start your own newbie thread in the newbie section with a bit about yourself and your bike so we can welcome you in and get to know you

Update
Here's one thread on the difficulties of sorting the R1 owners which I believe but not 100% sure are fitted the same as the R6

Another edit
Again an R1 but interesting read , I think it's page 4 you need
