Hello. I'm Ricardo (Ric) and this will be my place to upload clips to help me record (and help me to remember) what work I have done on my bike which is now the latest KTM 1290 Super Adventure R (2023). If watching any of my short clips helps others that’s an additional bonus. And I welcome any suggestions for video ideas! We are all one biking brother/sisterhood after all!
I have ridden for years but mostly superbikes and have tracked, off-roading, commuted 365 days a year in all UK weathers on average 22,000 miles a year, travelled abroad. Anything bike related I have had a good bash at it. And done 80% of all work on my previous bikes so know my way around them.
If you like any of my short clips please do give a thumbs up 👍 so I get the idea if its helping anyone! And what the heck even subscribe if you can be bothered (not that I will post often but when I do It will be something I think will be useful for the enthusiast).
Cheers all and keep it rubber side down!
Thanks Ric!

FULL VIDEO TO COME……EVENTUALLY 🫣💥 This was one of the most epic rides ever. And doing it alone added an extra special experience I will always remember. It may not be thousands of miles away in some remote jungle. But a lot of it is remote and you are alone for a long time throughout each day. Time to think. time to take in what has happened in your own life. Time to reflect. This time of year ...

I managed to sort out some video of my last trip on the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. I did 3 of 5 days of the Pyrenees ACT route. Unfortunately a tyre issue prevented me from finishing it in the time I have available. But I will be going back. The 1290 was a phenominal bike to do this on. The huge milage due to the decision to ride through the whole length of France to Spain. However a lighter b...

I really like your videos, very helpful and simpatico as well! 👍🏽
Hey Ricardo quick question, are those the same bags you use now one your 890R? Are those the Givi bags? Thanks
Hello mate! Yes they are the same bags and mounting plates. They are Kriega OS platforms with OS panniers 👍👌
Thanks for that bud 🙏🏽
Thanks mate anytime 👍
Ciao Riccardo, complimenti per le grafiche!! Posso chiederti dove posso reperirle?? Grazie!
Hello and thanks. Graphics are now a custom order from Dabrabbit. You need to select custom from there website and you should see it 👍
Hi Ric thanking getting KTM 1290 adventure R I’m 5.4 Todo the trip to the Pyrenees do you think I could do it or not?
Hi Neil to be honest if your simply riding roads you’ll be fine if used to tall bikes. However if you are taking it on trails and with luggage and not used to tall heavy bikes then probably not a good idea. I have a 29 inch inseam and even with low seat I can barely touch the floor. I can only do one foot at a time which I’m ok with. I’m also ok with dropping the bike if need be. Which is something a lot of people will never be comfortable with. 👍
Just bought a new super adventure. You're teaching me a lot. Thanks, from San Francisco.
Hiya Sam great to hear from you! And congratulations on your new beast 💪
I really enjoy your videos! Super helpful. I am doing my own installation because of you! Dealer wanted $450 to $500 to run wires and I don’t trust that they would do as good of job as I will! I am watching all your videos!
Hiya mate and thanks so much for the lovely feedback! Yeah I’m with you on the savings if you manage a self install. Always a bonus to learn your own bike too in the process 👌
Mine has no key
Hello mate. From memory it might be due to the topbox you were sold. The 790/890 Adventure top boxes are identical in every way. However the ktm part number will be different from a 1290 Adventure part. The reason is that the 1290 ADV as you know is keyless so the topbox comes with key. But as the 890 already has keys the pack contains only a lock barrel in which gets coded to the bikes own key. In short I maybe wrong but you probably have to order a key at minimal cost. And then code it to the lock barrel. 👍
Did it come with the Scott’s damper?
Beautiful drone footage. What sat nav do you use?
Hello mate! And thank you. My satnav is a Garmin Zumo XT 👍.
Yesterday bike didnt start up, blown fuse 5, replace it and blown again. Bike is at the dealer right now, so i cant check if it is the lambda cable.
Doesn't work for mine. SAS 2021
Good stuff
So to eyeball it before grabbing the tools in a parking lot on the center stand , looking at the half circle cut where the screw driver is inserted, if the top of the chain is flush with that circles, hook/pointy tooth on the bottom then chain is good. If below, too loose , and if above then too tight, hence tell tale sign to get screw driver to confirm when on center stand. Based on image at 6:54.
Dedícate a otra cosa 😢
Did you manage to figure out the routing for the hydration pack?
Just found where that plate should be located, on the front of the battery box... mine is broken because of the accident that is why it has been dificult for me to figure it out the puzzle. Hahaha. Best regards
The bike looks so much better!
With small duffle bag over passenger seat, is high enough to double as a food warmer when riding?😂
Haha now that’s an idea never thought off but yes they get bloody hot indeed 🤣
Thanks for the detailed guide on this install was invaluable when I installed the spotlights last weekend. Also hardwired in my Chigee carplay unit and fixed the heated grips wiring that my dealer didn't do correctly, I love this bike but taking it apart is a test of my love!
Hi gene thank you kindly for the feedback mate. And great to hear you managed it ok!👌
Wow ❤❤
Funny how motorcycles can make a tall 6”0 tall man with a 32”inseam feel “short” 😂 can a 32”inseam flatfoot with the low seat at 10mm below the 849 default low seat at 839mm?
Hiya bud I believe you’ll be fine with low seat and a 32 in seam.. you’ve got 3 extra inches on me… 🤣.
Nice and unique , two thumbs up 🤩👍👍
👍🙂.
Just got a 2024 S model and the tip here was helpful thank you. I considered the R or the S, but I sat down and was honest with myself. Number one i live in Europe, there is very limited amount of offroad compared to roads including gravel roads. Secondly how much real offroad do I actually do anymore as I have aged a bit, and being upside down in mud and crap is actually not fun for me anymore. I love twisties, backroads, gravel roads and stuff like that. I have a great experience doing so, and that is what I actually needed a new bike for. I do blast through large stretches of road to get to the area I want to explore and enjoy on my limited amount of holiday. So a bike that can eat miles fast, is great on twisties and the occational gravel road was what I needed. I needed the S model, and behold I got one. BTW Cracking deals on the 1290's now as "everyone" is waiting for the 1390's (with all the new model issues) so if one is in the market for a travel do all the stuff 99% actually do its a bargain for the moment.
Is the one piece seat a bit roomier for the rider? I feel the PP ergo seat one rider seat (two piece) locks me into one position and I zero room to move back. I am not a big guy
Go for it mate! The reason to get the one piece. It’s made for more rider room so you can move around. And looks better too imo 👍 All the best Ric 💪
much cheaper if you buy from the importers in Holland
Hello, i ve lost that chain measuring plastic part during ride. I have uninstalled it a few times, because of more place to clean and lube the chain and inner screw was tore down on both screws, so it has not hold well. Is it an important part or i can forget about it and how can i measure my chain tension now?
These are nice handling tires both on and off road. They make a nasty hum noise between 75-85. The rear flats easy. They rip in the middle...not repairable. Total nightmare. This is not a good tire for the BMW 1250 GSA unless you ride really slow in the dirt. They are not tough... Sad, because I like how they ride.
I've just followed this to wire in my tomtom to my (new to me) 2021 SAS. THANK YOU. I couldn't have done it without this video. No bolts left over either, which is my usual form..... 😂😂
Hiya Mark! Nice one and thanks for the message. Glad all worked out. Haha yeah unusually have a bolt left over too at times.. 👀 All the best Ric
Thanks. Really helpful video and something I’m going to tackle next weekend
Thanks for the review bud. Just ordered this setup for my 2023 1290 SAR. I am hoping this is flatter than the stock SAR seat. As in not trying to push you in the tank constantly.
That doesn't help at all against theft! Because there are only 2 screws that have to be unscrewed in 10 seconds, and someone can take the whole thing with the bracket.
Hiya agreed but to fair if your having a coffee or even only filling up at a station at least you don’t have to worry about snatch and grab. Saves removing it when taking a pee etc. also is a lot more secure for general use. I don’t think it was ever intended to leave your £400 unit on and leave your bike alone all day. You’d have to be pretty crazy to leave your unit in 👍
The faster you ride these trails the quicker they will be removed. Think about the other people before you rag it along these beautiful trails.
Agreed! Always ride sensible and considerate to other users 👍.
Hello , what ist the Kòd number from that grey Set stickers ? I have already Look for it on Web site .Thx
Thanks for the helpful vid. I'm gonna go with the 1 piece
Hello bud! Thanks for the comment and watching the little clip. Glad to be of help. 👍💪 Cheers Ric
My 1290 SAS had it's first service a few weeks ago. I've since done 2500kms and was thinking about doing an interim oil service maybe around 7k....no harm!
Is Oil check with cold engine or hot?
Brilliant video Ric just found this one , we we were a week or so ahead of you i think , Portugal this year i hope
Hi mate. Wicked route for sure. I seriously recommend the Portugal ACT. Personally it was far better :) And a little more demanding (in Feb anway).
What fuse does it blow?
Did you experience before this engine failure any throttle jerk or stutters/stumbles ? My bike 1290 SAS from 2023 has only 1000km, but from the beginning when I took the bike from the dealer I have this issue. My local dealer downplays the issue because the diagnostics show nothing. I'm also waiting for KTM replay for my warranty claim about sealing the rear exhaust insulation 3 weeks already.... It is my second KTM 1290 SAS and I really dont like the way how they deal with they customers...
Bonjour je recherche le même kit déco réservoir. Ou l avez vous eu svp ? Merci
Ricardo..even my dealer could not correctly clarify this for me..
I'm really struggling getting the "glove box" back in place.. there are som thick cables under there 😜
@Ricardo_Yeep would this work on a 1290 GT?
No mate definitely not.
Io ho fatto il mio secondo tagliando 30000 km.alla mia ktm1290s però mentre aprivo il tappo per l'immissione di olio nuovo ho trovato della poltiglia giallastra . Se ci fosse qualcuno che mi fa capire se mi devo preoccupare o è normale.grazie
Good sound why the other akrapovic don't sing like it?

Hello, I have problems with my ACC. It says it has a mail function on the ACC (but the normal cruise control still works). I used it during riding and it worked fine. Then switched the ACC of when arriving at my destination and instantly is showed an error.. I have already done this; 1) pull off the radar plug and placed it back after one minute. 2) pulled of the battery for 24 hours and placed it back 3) at last a went to a KTM dealer and they put the bike on the computer . The reset the malfunction problem, but when I switched the bike on and off it came instantly back. Does somebody has the same problem and how did you fixed it? Hope somebody can help me out on this 😅 PS: love your videos Ricardo! 🙌🏽💪🏽
Hello Bud, thanks for the feedback mate. Sorry I cant add any supporting advice on the issue. I never experienced this personally. But hopefully someone piped up with an answer 😉. All the best, Ric
@@RicardoYeep thanks for your reply mate. I hope someone will come with the solution 🤞🏽
