Did I miss something, are you getting an R and a Kramer?

Since I’m getting the Kramer and won’t be riding the V4 most of this season I have time to take my bike apart, take all the go fast stuff off of it, return it to the numbered V4 25 Anniversario 916 bike I bought it as, sell it for 35k, buy a 22+ V4R with the new software, and put my current suspension and RADE tank/seat, brake setup etc on the newer V4R

Almost all the upgrades to my bike I can switch to a newer V4R
 
My current bike under all the mods is a 2020 V4 25 Anniversario 916

Decent resale value despite being a lil out of date and not having the adjustability on the swingarm and evo 3 software of the R…I also like the gearing of the new R and the lighter clutch assembly etc which should help the engine spin up to those high rpm’s faster.

I kept nearly every original part the bike came with to restore it back to this except the Akra exhaust:

Not yet, as it’s going to be a full track conversion I might look for somebody’s garage queen from 2022 or 23, I don’t think there are any differences from 2022 to 2024 other than the livery which I don’t care for and will change anyway, but looking into it.

Good plan, I like it!
 
So it turns out that I can use 330mm Sicom rotors and pads on the Kramer that comes with a 290mm rotor. Kramer USA has a spacer for it, and the wheel Kramer uses, the Dymag, uses the same bolt pattern and setup up for the rotors as the KTM 1290 Superduke which is available for Sicom fitment.

A little odd anomaly of both the KTM 8C RC and the Kramer GP2 890RR is that you need a special pin to lift the front end up to put on warmers and they stopped making that pin. Luckily a buddy of mine that has an 8C RC had several of the pins machined and can get me one, or I’d have an issue using tire warmers on the front end.
 
@Steven31371

You don’t get stands with it?!? Unbelievable. 🫣

It’s an odd thing to not be able to supply the pin so you can use tyre warmers on a track bike…

The KTM comes with the stands as far as I am aware.
