I did 35 k km in one year😊
@@dragunovyarik5844 well done! We don't have 12 months to ride here. 6-8 tops
Thanks. Priceless info. I bought the shock and linkage together. I didn't know I'd needed it, until I found your video. The previous owner had lowering dog-bones, so something else to play with.
@@deadcarz4926 nice! Always a good bonus! Happy to help
I traded in my 09 Concours 14 for the 2024 N1k and the only things that Im not keen on is the loss of a center stand and maintaining the chain, other that that the Ninja fits my needs way better than the C14. The performance is very similar, the ride quality is much better, the handling is way better and its looks better. Mine is 100% stock right now other than a Puig windscreen (much better than stock). Im thinking about a Yoshimura slip on, K & N air filter and an ECU flash...thats it! The N1k is an awesome bike. Love it! I really like losing about 180lbs!
@scottmatzeder9162 I do not miss my 08 concours. It was a fast boat. Like you said, way too heavy. imo the Ninja is the perfect sport bike. I have a full black widow exhaust on mine. Really wakes the bike up (the full system will likely cost same as the yosh slip on) It's very well fuelled right out of the box. If you keep your filter stock ( I don't recommend K And N) there's zero need for a flash. 10k km so far with me using it and I love it. BTW.. the black widow exhaust is 1st rate. I'm on my 3rd full system.
Pivot!!! 🤦♂️
@@Chillirider good times FF!
Hey. You have a tool set or gear attached towards the lower part of the crash bar? How does that work out for you? What happens when you dump the bike?
I never drop my bike!😂😂😂😂 No issues. Got the full ktm pouch in there plus my snap jack. Zero issues
Slick SV mate, looks mint and sounds great! They go pretty well too, I got one as well 👌🏽
@@alNange great bikes. For the money and a few mods..had two
it sure feels good jumping over logs!
@@gs-iy7ur yep! We do get it wrong from time to time, but it doesn't happen as often 😀
Wouldn’t it be simpler just to replace the pipes then you could loose the covers too?
At the time...it was the right thing to do. Hind sight...yeah.. That's what I've done on .y currently bikes. Full system
Looks like a good one.
@gsmith4679 thanks Gman! It was.
Firstly a thank you. I would like to tell you. I bought a kawasaki ninja 1000sx 10 days back 2021 model after getting convinced by ur review. A super nice bike. Thank you again from India
You're welcome! It's been an awesome bike for me. Hope you enjoy it as well
11,000km is not bad for such a soft compound... maybe if you ran the correct width it might have added another few thousand KM to it? Like instead of 7000 miles, 8000-9000 miles? Just a thought.
@adam346 what do you mean? 190 is the correct width. The side profile was bit taller at 55..it makes zero difference. 7300km...not miles! Not that soft of a compound.
@@otmuppet oh, damn. My mistake, I misheard. I am sorry they only lasted that long for you, I have no idea why then... everyone else is talking in miles since most English speakers are either UK or US. I would look into why yours only lasted so long, most people talk in the 7000-9000 miles not km...
@adam346 no worries! No idea. Pressures were correct, and I use the bike as intended, but vary the riding and avoid long straight stretches. It wore evenly, but not impressed with the wear. Got Dunlop RS4s now. Feel vg
What tyre you running on the front? Do you get wobbles at speed with the excel rim?
@stevekemp7140 motoz tractionator. fortnine.ca/en/motoz-tractionator-adventure-front-tire#521=39065 And had a Bridgestone AX41 on before. Static balanced Zero wobbles or issues.
The chain needs to be tensioned before measuring.
How much difference would a tensioned chain make? 2mm? If the chain is not straight then yeah by all means reading will not be correct. The chain on the bench is new, so even if it was tensioned it should read the same.
@@otmuppet On a new chain it won't make much difference, but a worn chain with 20,000 miles will really surprise you. Every owner's manual I've ever had says to tension the chain when measuring chain stretch. I've never measured chain stretch on a new chain. Why would you? My 2009 Triumph Tiger 1050 owner's manual has you hang a 10 kg to 20 kg weight from the bottom of the chain loop (on the bike) and measure 20 pins on the top.
@@MyRp123 fair! I did measure it on my last project bike. It looked in tension but it was shot
If I understood you right you said 5mm for the shim? 11:08 That's really thick. Edit - you must have meant 0.05mm
You're probably right. I got the sheet metal tin somewhere..
I use the friction lock on my 1090 and 701, they work great. I sold my 1090 then ended up buying it back, the only thing that I found close to it was the Desert x. I’m 230 pounds and 6’1”, the suspension is fine for me and I jump mine often. Did the Idaho BDR and some of the Wyoming BDR on this bike. Originally I got this used 3 years ago from a guy in Montana and it had a few issues. It needed a new radiator from a small puncture and a new fuel pump. Here in Wyoming our freeways are 80mph and she just roars down the freeway, so fun. I got a Yoshimura exhaust and whew does she sound bad ass, as well as not burning myself on the stock exhaust. My 701s stock exhaust gave me a scar on my hand from moving it when turning around on a trail. The 890s have had some serious problems according to some shops I frequent. Also they handle extremely well but the wider bottom gives issues if you don’t pay attention.
@gilvietor1918 several of my buddies have 890Rs. Massive oiling issues on one (new head, cams). No thanks. I got electronic cruise on my 1090. Epic. Vid is on the channel! Keep saving that front tire!! Lol
@@otmuppet Ya the 890 problems are so bad the dealer I work with a lot said, "nope I am not selling you a Norden!" He talked about some of the issues and I thought, wow, that must be bad if he is warning me (he's a great dude, I feel bad when I buy a bike at a different dealership). I'll have to check that video out, I'd seen it on some forums and went uhhhh what? My tires are the Anakee Wilds (1090 and 701) they're amazing, but you can't swap direction. HUGE improvement over the TKC's which I have no clue what that tire is good at? Highway? Nope. Gravel? Nope. Sand?! Nope. Windy paved roads? Nope!! Great stuff man, thanks for taking the time to make the content, if you're ever in Wyoming shoot me a message. The South Dakota BDR X is a hoot, lots of amazing food and places to stay on the ride (hotels I mean).
@gilvietor1918 Thanks for the offer. Have been through years ago. Offer is here if you come out west to Canada. decent dealers are still out there Glad he scared you off. Nothing wrong with the 1090. No plans to get rich or retire off YT. Just doing it as I feel and to help out.
@gilvietor1918 here's the CC. czcams.com/video/_GW2q1XR3gM/video.htmlsi=SzDSuqmKaVfMwlDF I run a rear mitas e07 enduro ( not the plus. The + is a POS) And a trqctionator adventure front. The front goes to two rears. I get 8 to 10k km on the rears fortnine.ca/en/motoz-tractionator-adventure-front-tire?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-uK0BhC0ARIsANQtgGNIPM3URrsNYTV8z30VQo2hePmzg9cEdPIaDpU_f0h4XRggnKtpTOUaAi0oEALw_wcB#521=39065

Allegedly….hmmmm 😜
Yes sir!..
I have just swapped to the 2022 ninja 1000sx performance tourer and absolutely love it but miss the handguards on my previous bike that gave great wind protection. Which make and model did you fit? Im in the UK btw.
@@dirkdiggler1111 you'll love it! 10k km on mine. Riot. Powderbronze out of the uk
Too much work to install 😟
Eh? Trust me, well worth the effort
Very good, don't see how these would be any different on gravel than any road focused tire, the sipes are just wide enough for water removal. That's poor mileage to square off so quick, were you riding 2 u? that's a heavy-ish bike? thanks
It is a street tire no question, just felt better shoulder season (prob. In my head). I ride one up, but quick and tidy. Curb is allegedly 513lb. Not crazy heavy. Tire is still going strong. Just punting it around town. Will get it down to cords and swap the set.
Forgot to mention. It's not squaring off. Wearing very even, just center thread on rear is disappearing quick.
Be interesting to know if you still have it
Hell yeah I do! About 35k km now. Still awesome. Did you see my CC install vid?
Having the baffle out is just disrespectful to others imho.
I keep it in around town. Had it put for a few days..too loud
She’s ok….
and she's okkkkkk
990 for the win.
What what? What the new one? Or the old one?
Suspension is enough comfy for long trips 500km/day?
It's the oem seat that's a limiting factor. Oem suspension is first rate
@@otmuppet seat is not a problem, i have a tenere 700, i am looking for an upgrade, i need a little more power, i like crf 1000 ATAS suspension and i love ktm character. 1190 S is single ktm o ever ride.
@ionutd84 no issues. 1090 is comfy. Have done loads of longer 400 to 700km days Way more character than AT. check my other vid. Owned an AT before. Meh.
@@otmuppet thank you!
@ionutd84 no worries! I have a Renazco rally seat on mine. Perfect. Loads of room and does not lock.you into one spot
That is sick and exactly what I’m looking for for my 1190. Now, if only someone will find a way to put the 890 right hand switch gear and throttle on so we can run the modern heated grips. The ones without the wire hanging down. I tried the 890 throttle on my 1190 and there’s a micro voltage difference which puts the ECU into limp mode. Poooo.
Nice! It's a good find for sure. I have the KTM grips tied into the ECU. they work a treat
How's the overall road performance and behaviour?
It's a fantastic tire...but...it's wearing very quickly. I'm at the wear bars on the rear at 6500km. I'll post up a quick update vid shortly. I'll be surprised if I get 8k km out of the rear. Front is wearing very well. No cupping/feathering to speak of
Is the rear wearing evenly? Apparently it's an absolute must that the mutants are always running the correct psi to avoid wear issues.
@@7un05 no issues on wear. Very little feathering. Think it was around 33-36 PSI cold
Just what I needed to understand how to take apart the cartridge on my Tuareg - many thanks.
You're very welcome!
Can you elaborate a little on the gear shift support? Never heard of this before. I do sometimes accidentally shift into neutral while riding, does it really help with that?
It's additional support to reduce the flex on the shift shaft. I noticed an improvement for sure. Google race torx. They ship Ww
All Matt black. Make it total bad ass with no accents.
I'll be bad ass regardless! Thinking gun metal for the rims, and Honda yellow
Trick to getting the header bolts out without breaking them?😊
Wd-40 well ahead of time. Heat around the bolt/not on bolt helps. Take your time, don't use an impact

@@otmuppet mój motor już lata na bezdętkowe kołach Alpina. Ale martwi mnie miękka rama i teleskopy a te u mnie mają ślady wytarcia jednak mechanik dał im szanse i wymienił simmeringi. Nie zmieniam motocykli zbyt często jakieś dziesięć lat mam nadzieję że nie będzie się psuć. Na jednym kole nie jeżdżę ofroad też nie ma. Ale na drodze jest super. Chciał bym żeby się nie psuł. Gratuluję Ktm o takim też myślałem. Trudno. Wybrałem Hondę. Jak ją kupowałem była jak nowa i to mnie oczarował. Pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍
@bikeforjoy the rims are ok, once you do an outex kit, or like you did do the alpina rims. The honda motor will go for ever. Massive pita to service. No issue on the frame.

Have a 2023. Curious how you mounted the yellow lights with the sliders in place?
I banged up some metal brackets. Slightly off set. I think I got it on one of my vids. I'll dig it up
Thanks!
@oliverlaws3736 I thought I had it in this vid..but no. czcams.com/video/-IrdSJC3bKg/video.htmlsi=bzoabBmH0knJEE4L I un bolted the little cover plate. Underneath that is a big Allen head bolt. Undid that. Then bent up brackets and fitted the lights. The crash sliders hold the bracket tin place.
How have these tyres been?
Well...wearing much faster than I'd like. I'll be lucky to see 8k km out of the rear. Going to dunlop rs4 next.
Nice 🖖. So the baffle was in on the flyby clip correct?
Glad you enjoyed it
No sir! Baffle was out. The only real difference is it's loud AF 1st thing in the am, so I try not to torture my neibhours too much. But it sounds so good with the quick shifter/blipper with baffle out

Hello, may I ask you how tall are you ? Thank you in advance
5'9"
I'm thinking about replacing the stock exhaust on my 08 Concours with a stainless duel-exhaust setup. For the same reason as you. The stock muffler looks like a 16 inch gun off of a Iowa class battleship. I'm glad came across your video. I wanted to find out what needed to be done. Keep up the good work m8.
Looks like a half baked turd, no question. Good luck with the swap over

"Dirt Bike Winter" is a popular NW-ADV thread. It's too danged hot in the Summer!
Never been on that one. I could see OR being toasty
That ride makes our Suicide Ride look like a cakewalk! It took me a while to watch this video, My computer is dead, and I'm finally casting it from my phone to TV.
Pucker factor 10!
I've had mine quite a while and I do a lot of touring and I will say I get about 250 mi to a tank. I don't think that's biofuel consumption at all and I don't exactly ride slow
That's impressive. That's over 400km to a tank
I have external amazon sensors on my DR650 and they work superb, for maybe 50$ (includes the sensors and the monitor for the handlebars. Its mind buggling that on a touring bike Kawasaki didn't consider designing these to have the batteries easily replaced...like if they didn't know these bikes would last for ever :P
Agreed. I run something similar on my ninja and ktm. Works a treat
Great video. I think I lost my Schrader valve while changing my fluid. Is that an aftermarket shrader valve that you have on yours? I can't find the part to order
Thanks! I have to watch my own vid, as I don't remember what I used on the Beta. It's long gone at this point
So watched my own vid. That was a valve body I installed on the body. It takes a regular schrader valve
