75k miles on my 2014 and i've changed the rear bearings twice, each time rusty and full of water, i hadn't heard of the drain hole mod for gen1s, i might take the hub out and drill the swingarm this weekend. cheers for the vid.

75k miles on a Gen 1 Super Duke R? Thats impressive! Do you ride it hard? What issues have you had?

Have a 2014 SDR and had to change the bearings and sprocket etc just now, very costly. Showed me water dripping from the assembly. 22000 kilometers

I'm gonna need a frame stand for that... rear wheel stand is gonna be a problem 😁 I've seen folding ladder / ratchet rope constructions holding a bike up that look interesting. Oh wait, I'm gonna need a press too... oh well. Can still do about 95% of the job on my own judging by what I'm seeing in this video. Thanks for making!

A metal bar through the frame where my stand mounts to will do with axel stands, just strap the front wheel down stop it tilting. Take the housing to a garage to press in n out shouldn't cost much. Just give me a shout if u need help, thanks! 👍

How the heck is your bike so clean? It's literally spotless. I have mine apart thanks to your video, and it's filthy lol. I greatly appreciate this video and your work on this, it has helped me immensely. I've been trying to learn and take apart my own gen 1 1290, due to shops seriously messing up repairs in the past. (one shop literally put the rear wheel on without lining them up with the hub studs. How the heck did they manage that?! Could have messed up my wheel with that massive torque lol. Cheers!

With a Dremel or similar you can grind a small channel from the low point to the hole you drilled 👍👍

Yes you're spot on mate, I actually ended up doing something similar to your suggestion but forgot to add to the film. You can just see at 18:31 the sharp v shape to the left of the hole where I dremelled a small groove in

Just about to open up my 2015 model. I was wondering if it would be possible to dremel a groove from the lowest point to the split-line in the swing-arm? Possibly to the LHS so it helps when it's on the sidestand. I love my KTM's but that's pretty poor, drain-hole in the hub but no-one wondered where the water would go? Great video, thanks for giving me the confidence to open it up myself, much appreciated.

Just did the job tonight, 2014 with 20k miles and could feel the rear shifting around . Your video made it much easier to see the step by step process, hardest part for me was the aluminum carrier corroded with the steel axle so significant effort was needed separate them.

@@robbown164 for mine it took a torch around the splines, penetrating oil, a 5 ton gear puller with an impact, and someone hammering a rod into the back as I used the gear puller and impact. I also had to replace the sprocket carrier and sprocket because the gear puller bent it and the corrosion took a chunk of material off the splines where the corrosion had occurred . On a positive note, last time I took it off replacing the tone ring with a corrected one, it came apart nice and smooth thanks to full coverage with anti seize. Good luck, a pain for sure.

I used a layer of Denso-tape (waterproof grease impregnated plumbers cloth tape) to fill the void so now mine drains to the hole I drilled. The Dense-tape just sticks in place and never moves. I used a 5.0mm hole and screwed in a 6mm diameter wafer head Torx machine screw with blue thread lock.

sounds good mate!

I wonder if countersinking the holes on the inside would help funnel the water. The surface tension of water might keep it from draining in small amounts. Just speculation but very informative thanks mate!

Thanks! I too am wondering this. and i think it can as the frame design is the same as gen 1. Tbh the whole swing arm could be used i think from gen 2 and the finish is much nicer.

Thanks for kind comment and support mate, no i didnt put water in, after assembling it all in the video i was leaving 2 weeks later for a europe trip so didnt really have time to test things. Hopefully will check things out over winter.

I have a gen two. The swingarm bolt is very tight in some areas when trying to remove it. Well only 70Nm of force needed to undo it. I'm guessing it's just shite on the threads, should I be able to remove the bolt fully with everything still on the bike... chain & rear wheel? I couldn't see why I shouldn't be able to but with how much force I needed to put on the bolt. I didn't bother, i'm gonna order some penitrating fuild. I want to fully clean the bolt & threads that's why I want it off :)

Hi, thank you very much for your video. I have a 2014 V1 KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R and yesterday on a ride I could feel the rear kicked out. There is a slight play in the rear wheel. So I would like to change my bearings. Do you think it is necessary to change the axle and the hub or just the bearings will do. Sorry for my English, I'm French.

Hi, thanks for the support! it depends on the condition when you strip it down but i would probably say the axle and hub housing will be ok. If your bearings are really bad then you may see scoring and possible damage on the axle.
