Thermostat for KTM 390 Adventure: Drilled and Slotted
This thermostat is built for the KTM 390 Adventure and supplied to a written specification, so the part that comes off the line in the next order matches the one you approved. Fitment, base material and finish are fixed before sampling starts — that is what keeps the drilled and slotted programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: a supplier who changed material without saying so, or a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. Both are avoidable when the specification is written down before bulk and the approved sample is kept as the reference.

What decides whether it lasts
- Material — Ceramic Composite is the base; treat any substitution as a new approval.
- Hardness and heat treatment — recorded per lot, not per batch of paperwork.
- Fitment tolerance — checked on the actual KTM 390 Adventure mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
- Finish — powder coating holds up where the machine sees salt, mud and daily washing.
- Packing — individual packing plus inner cartons sized for the workshop bench.
Processes used on this line

Fitment notes
Keep the old part until the new one is on the bench. Comparing them side by side settles questions a photograph never will.
Where it is used
The drilled and slotted build is the one most often ordered for mining sites. Riders also fit it for mountain roads, adventure travel, wet weather riding, rural transport.
Ordering
- Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
- Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
- Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
- Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
