No problem about. We will test as is, then adjust suspension. This is one major reason for getting it done with support from local shops around my home. Most of the work was done by my local WP suspension shop who are quite well known with customizing things, and they will be happy to adjust suspension in whatever way possible. Also they will supply external spring tension adjusters as a last step.
The 690's WP48 fork in fact feels somewhat softer than stock tenere fork, but it is known to be quite strong and there is 4cm of additional travel, after all. My fork crown was designed to locate fork 3cm downward to compensate for longer travel together with shortened total fork length (I did not want to cut fork travel by inserting some sort of stopper). When I did a short test ride (some yards only) the front did not feel any lower at all, but we will take care of this as soon as the bike will be rideable again. These will be the finalizing steps and it will take several more weeks until then.

Nice pictures of yours. I really like the 690 KTMs which in my opinion belong to the best motorbikes, KTM ever built (as well as other manufacturers...)
I own a WR250R together with my Tenere, both replacing just one 690 Enduro.
However, the Tenere is very good for relaxed single cylinder touring (with baggage and stuff). The WR is good for offroad, and I definitely do not need that much power when riding offroad.

My status: today I handed over my fork assembly to some metal works company to finalize my inacceptably ugly self made fender mounting bracket. The Meca System bracket would not fit my fender (African Queens GFK hand made), so we need to do our own.
Pictures as always in my picasa online album.

No further steps until now. Talon hubs take their time. Upper fork crown is currently being anodized.
