KTM dealer Mendosa,Ar.
 

Hola Amigos,

We will be in Mendosa in a couple of days and need tires and a few parts
for our 950 Adventure. Any information on the location of a KTM dealer and
or tire dealers would be helpful.

thanks Max

Hi Max,

Not sure on KTM delaers in Argentina (so this post may not be so useful to you!) but I do know that there are a few in Chile. Santiago for sure has a dealer, the importer in is Chillan (about 400k's south of Santiago) and I've just ordered 2 air filters form the dealer here in Puerto Montt (they will come overnight from Chillan). I also noticed he had a pair of OEM Scorpions in stock though the rear was 156,000 (about $300!) I paid $100 for a Metzler MT20 (or 21, I can't remember now) in Puerto Montt (same deal, was shipped from the importer in Chillan) and my mate has just paid about $200 for a tyre in Coyhaique (shipped in from Santiago).

So if you doin't have any luck in Mendoza, my advice would be head to Santiago or Chillan. When we were in BA I saw a 140/80/18 Scorpion A/T on a shop shelf so for sure they should be available in Argentina.

Like I say, I'm in Puerto Montt, heading south for Futulefu to meet back up with my mate Jase then up to El Bolson and Bariloche. Let me know if you need any more help.

You must be catching me up!

I'm in Santiago for a couple of days, going to collect a pair of badly needed new tyres for mine tomorrow morning from Carlos Ramirez, who is one of only two Continental importers for South America! His email is carlos@mototurismo.cl, and I think he'd have info re. KTM dealers also. Serviced the GS myself in Calama a couple of days ago, so barring any problems I'm going to be dealer-free from now on.

Did you come down via. Bolivia (Uyuni/San Pedro) or Arica?

TopMoto in mendoza had a good selection of tyres. they are mentioned in several posts on here, with thier address listed.
Don´t know if they had scorpions but had tyres for big beemers so worth a try.

cheers
