KTM Service in South America

Hi All,
Australia crossed (twice!) am now in Sydney about to leave for South America with my KTM690. Arriving Colombia mid Oct then south. Planning for a couple of service stops on way.
Would appreciate anyone's recent experience of good mechanics/service in Peru/Chile/Argentina on KTM's.

Cheers, Ian

Jaime has a great moto shop right on the 3N/3S in Huanuco in central Peru. Can get KTM parts out of Lima in just 2 days if you need them. An official KAWASAKI shop and a SOCOPUR (KTM Peru) distributor.

KTM Huanuco

Cheers Toby. sorry its taken me so long to pick this up. Been on the road.
Do you have an email address for Jamie at all ?. Would like to get in touch and maybe order parts in advance.

Any idea if Dunlop tyres can be sourced down there too?. Am currently running D908's which I really like.

Cheers, Ian

Ktm sa

Amigo,

I have the exact same motorcycle 2014 KTM 690 Enduro R and Felipe at Groupo Socopur in Surco (Lima) is amazing.

In Colombia if you arrive to Medellin R2R KTM is unreal too. They are two blocks away from Mira Flores and beside all the other main motorcycle shops!
