Great vid thanks mate, so much better than reading the instructions!

Great video thanks. I was in two minds about replacing my "race on" switch due to the cost. Mine's a 2019 bike, last month I was touring France from the UK so about 1000 miles from home, I went to power on the bike and there was nothing at all. I pulled all the fuses to check but all were OK, I replaced them and got power on. I was anxious the entire remainder of the trip. I was unsure about the true cause of the failure but suspect corrosion or dirt in the switch. Looks like for peace of mind I'll have to replace it. KTM dealers are aware of this so KTM will be also. At the very least they should supply the new switches at cost. 🤷‍♂️

With a stiff side wall is it still necessary to air down ?

excellent top job

looks like a great trip thanks for sharing it, we are doing teh GCR in July, how was this leg (episode 4) how did you go for fuel and how sandy was it, we are on 12oo Triumph and BMW's

Bit late saying this now but it would have been much earlier just buying a longer spring clip!

Bolt go somewhere on that bike😂😂😂😂 good luck!!

Great vid mate, how’s the engine braking? Also how is it on the initial opening of the throttle? Thinking this’ll be my next bike probably 25 model after my little hiatus (knee surgery)

Hi. Maybe you already know what that extra button is for but to answer your question, it is to disable the rear ABS. KTM calls it supermoto mode. You just have to long press it.

Hi, so if I got it right, the issue is bad stator. Correct? The problem goes in this order: speedo + headlight works after cranking up the vehicle -> bad stator -> doesnt charge battery properly while the headlight consumes power from battery -> battery voltage drops -> speedo stops working once the voltage drops below 9V -> Headlight also stops -> battery gains voltage -> cycle repeats My question is: My duke 390 also has same issue. It's 2013 model. Mine doesnt have always on headlight. Then why does mine have the same issue? Also, isnt replacing headlight with LED light not a permanent solution? Why is the speedo going off after a certain speed, while coming back on instantly after going below 60kmph? Shouldnt it stay off no matter the speed?

Looking into restoring my dad’s old 79. Will you put us in a direction in finding all the parts? And how long this project took to complete? I really appreciate it

Hello. check the resistance from fuse 1 to pin 11 on the dashboard. I had 14 ohms. I disassembled the ignition lock and cleaned the contacts. the resistance has become less than 1 ohm. after that, there were no problems with the speed readings even once.

I changed the stator but the speedo still shows 0 kmph at times. I even changed the battery but still no luck and my headlight bulb is stock. So what might be the issue?

There is a easy solution to your ktm 1290 switch its self on and off. Make sure the main key (the one with the battery in it) is far enough away from the bike so it cant be picked up by the race on button. Then using the key that doesn't have a battery, hold the key on the inside of the left hand panel, its marked where to hold the key and push the race on button.and it should be ok. It qorked for me when l had this problem

Sir is there any particular voltage led bulb is required for this or any led bulb 15 wt to 30 wt bulb is fine let me know sir i have same issue in my duck ktm 390 .im from India Bangalore

Great work, would love to see it when it's finished!

You are so lucky to have managed to not only have this bike, but Hava a passion for it I have a tilt up portion or the rear fender for one of these bikes. A scrap collector friend had it on her pu. In a box of junk. I was "like! Where did you get this? Turns out the lady who gave her some scrap metal that day. Bought it at a swap meet in the late 70s in the Santa Barbara CA area. I have it mounted in my garage. Rust included.

Hello! Please check the voltage fluctuations at the battery terminals at idle using an oscilloscope. My volts jumped from 10.5 to 14.5. replacing the battery with a new one fixed the speedometer error

WHAT THE HELL IS A NUBE

That motor is worth between $40-50 k rebuilt

It looks like it may have ben green from.dsy 1 i still.see a little green left on the right side

Runs grate but should be striped completly repainted then used for a show piece on a shelf in side only gor shows

It's just dying for the factory couler paint job it would.look.200 percent better it's very old the old girl deserves it

Thanks for this video man! Helped me a lot, I got the same exhaust for my soon to come KTM1290SAS. Video also online soon.

Ma una domanda: quando hai rimontato il cappuccio in carbonio, hai rimontato anche la parte in metallo dentro con i tubi leggermente curvi? Oppure pensi che sia completamente inutile andare a rimuovere il cappuccio in carbonio a questo punto?

Just wanted to say thanks for the great video! My gf was having the same issue on her 2013 Duke 390 and I was able to fix it by following your instructions and installing the LED headlight. Thanks mate, bloody legend!

Nice job mate! But I don’t know if I’d like my base legs like that.

What psi do you reccomend for the street?

but can I be certain of a dude's exhaustive research if he spells "cheap" the way a baby chic sounds it out

got a question (on a related topic, kinda): what brand is the van? does it convert from seating to bike carrier, or are you just using it "empty" for the bikes? (thinking of going the van route, would appreciate some feedback)

Please send me proper link for online buying this item

Wowwww, Amazing landscape, I love you r country. Sand like this is very tough, and with a heavy bike. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. What area in Australia is this....

I have excatly the same issue but the problem is that in my country it is illegal to change a regular bulb with a LED one and i wonder what i could other do to fix that issue?

mono in gear 6, pretty amazing bike. I thought my 23 sef 250 was pretty amazing. Thanks for the video mate.

@mostlymotorcycles How tall are you?

The givi one is just slightly bigger but has a stupid givi logo in the bottom middle that looks crap

What a beauty. You did a real nice job of that exhaust. Very bloody cool.

Que espectaculo....

What is the price of this bandsaw machine

Cool idea, but I see some caveats. You have investigated if your new light won't overheat inside. The aluminium part that it sits in, is a heat sink for the main lights. Now it is significantly heating up the heat sink. You might overheat the whole light assembly. I imagine it costs a small fortune. Not to mention, it could get you stranded in the dark, far away from home.

Very informative video. Thank you, sir. BTW, does this Led needs an relay? TIA

Where did you buy your tap set?

this is a single video on whole internet which provides solution to this problem!! nobody has even made video a on this! Thabks buddy for helping us out

gave the old girl a flogging, awesome detailed video man. keep making these!!

Brilliant country. Years ago while working for the NT government I spent a lot of time travelling along the Duncan Road from the Victoria Hwy to the Buntine Hwy, then to Top Springs. That KTM of yours is a beast. 👏👏 I gave up riding road bikes over 2 years ago due to leg problems, love watching the video My son and daughter in law both have BMW GS1250s

Hmm. It seems I am completely missing the point. Not sure what improvement there is supposed to be from this mod, what actually has been modified and how it sounded before and after the mod. A drawing might help and also a before and after comparison of the sound would have helped (a proper one with unmodified SC Projects sound in between. It is nice though to see how not to do it in terms of the work steps. I am probably going with the Arrows exhaust now. Cheers.

You save me, thanks!

What happened to the long brass pin like tube you had in the tupperware at 15:45? I didnt see it get installed? Thanks for the video btw!!!

o have the problem in the left hand swich for the menu don't work at All , my is SAR 2022

The real dilemma lays in how one decides between the 300 2T and 300 4T in this 2024 range 😰
