KTM 990 Super Duke (R)

Coolant capacity & service interval

KTM 990 Super Duke (R) coolant capacity is 2,1 liters. Service intervals include checking at 7500 km or 12 months, and changing at 15000 km or 24 months and 30000 km or 48 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The KTM 990 Super Duke carries a 2.1-liter cooling system capacity across all variants from 2005 through 2013, including both the standard and R models. This figure represents the total system fill volume, covering the radiator, hoses, and engine water jacket combined.
  • The 2005-2007 990 Super Duke specifies a coolant change interval of 15,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, with no intermediate check interval listed for that generation.
  • From the 2007-2012 model years onward, both the standard 990 Super Duke and the 990 Super Duke R share an added coolant level check at 7,500 km or 12 months, alongside the same 15,000 km or 24-month change interval. The introduction of a formal check interval reflects a more structured maintenance schedule compared to the earlier 2005-2007 specification.
  • The 990 Super Duke R produced in 2013 carries a significantly extended coolant change interval of 30,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions. This is double the change interval specified for the 2007-2012 variants, and is consistent with the adoption of longer-life coolant formulations that became more common in motorcycle applications during that period.
  • The 2.1-liter capacity figure remains constant across the standard and R variants for 2007-2012, indicating that the R model's engine and cooling circuit share the same physical dimensions as the standard version despite differing in other performance-oriented specifications.
