The collector for a bike that has already had its exhaust valve taken out. Spark builds the same full titanium TIG-welded manifold in two versions, and this is the one without a valve simulator — cheaper by around fifty euros, and only correct if the valve motor and its wiring are gone.
Key Features
- Full titanium TIG-welded racing collector for the KTM 1290 and 1390 Super Duke R, 2020 to 2026.
- Silencing box included.
- No valve simulator — for bikes with the valve motor and wiring removed.
- Remapping or an electronic valve simulator must be in place before the engine is started.
- Fits with a Spark silencer or the original one.
- Performance improved across the whole curve, per Spark.
Which of the Two You Need
The decision is about what is still on the motorcycle, not about budget. If the exhaust valve wiring is still connected, GKT8502 is the correct part: it includes a simulator the cables attach to, so the ECU sees what it expects and no error light appears.
This number is for the other case. Spark's condition is explicit: with the wires and motor removed, either the motorcycle must be remapped or an electronic valve simulator fitted before the engine is turned on. Not after the first ride — before it starts.
The Lean-Running Warning
Spark states that removing the catalytic converter makes the engine run very lean, raising exhaust temperature and the stress the engine is under, and that a remap is required when this manifold is installed.
On a large V-twin that is not a formality. Sustained lean running at load is how pistons and valve seats get damaged, and the cost of that dwarfs the cost of a dyno session. Treat the remap as part of the purchase price.
What You Are Buying
Spark developed this manifold to maximise performance and minimise weight, and it says performance is improved along the entire curve rather than only at the top. The construction is full titanium with TIG welding left visible.
The silencing box in the collector is what allows it to replace the bulky original section outright and still keep the bike's voice, in Spark's words, dark and deep without being too loud. The packing inside it should be checked every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometres, or sooner if the box discolours.
Fitment & Compatibility
KTM 1290 Super Duke R, 1290 Super Duke R EVO, 1390 Super Duke R and 1390 Super Duke R EVO, 2020 through 2026. The version with the valve simulator is GKT8502. The rear pipe as a spare part is SGKT8502*03. Install with the original graphite gaskets.
Road Approval
None. The collector removes the catalytic converter, which ends road legality on its own.
