Brilliant riding scenery and panoramic views.... That fuel line looks like the hose recycled from the old wash machine ....in orange.... Thanks for posting
Awesome video and drone footage. I've got the KTM 1090r and a 07 KTM 950SE. Started leaving the traction control and abs turned off on the 1090. Great fun really enjoyed your video. Thanks
When your bike wouldn’t start I thought yep KTM reliability, fortunately just a dislodged fuel line , easy fix ,I traded my KTM 1190R for the Yamaha T 7 absolutely love it . I know there would be no chance I would attempt those deep sand track on the 1190, too heavy ,too powerful, and I’m too old to flick it about, you guys did a great job,
I hit a series of deep washerboards in a row at ~50mph on one of the trails in this video a couple weeks ago (on a stock Yamaha T7). They just so happened to perfectly line up with my bike's shock frequency and it double-jumped launched me off the bike. No major damage, got a very slight concussion... but now upgrading my T7 suspension to match my 790 so I don't keep assuming the T7 can handle everything at 790 speeds.
Looks like a great ride. I live in Ridgecrest. There’s tons of great riding in the Piute Mountains and awesome camping around the Lake Isabella /Kern River areas.
I got to say that Yamaha looks awesome and I am a KTM man cause I got two 2022s, a 1290 SAR and 500 EXC-F in my garage that I ride daily. I'm thinking about testing out one of those T700 Yamaha bikes.
They are a great bike off-road for smooth trails. But if it gets rough the suspension just doesn’t keep up with the KTM. IF YOU HIT ASPHALT…. The T7 is definitely lacking in power and doesn’t produce smiles
My XR650R is my favorite bike to ride that area! The "Buttermilk Hills" just north of Bishop have some awesome Sgl Trks, Very scenic terrain there, but you better be on 300, 450, or 500! Alabama Hills in Lone Pine are awesome too! And a Ride up Whitney Portal is Spectacular!!! Ride On!
I love the XR650R. My favorite motorcycle until the 790. To me same kind of feel. Both bikes just want to go. The faster you ride either the faster it seems to want to go. I do love that Honda though. But if I had both and could only keep one. The 790 it is.
The only thing I don't like about the T7 is when it's stopped. It's a bit top heavy, but once it starts moving Its like riding on a rail at Disneyland. It rides itself. I call mine Cleopatra. She knows what she's doing.
I just ordered an 890 Adventure R...first order of business put hose clamps on fuel lines! What else do I need to know/watch out for?! I don't mind saying I'm little worried about electrical gremlins on the thing. Great riding and great vid, you have awesome terrain down there.
thank you , nice 890 and all but ., i think you need a Yamaha !!!! ,, i think is way better for that trip , he was way a head of you even on the road , or he may be a better fast rider . i think i m giving up on the ktm .. Yamaha . all the way
Any problems with the ktm so far? Trying to decide between the yamaha 700 or 890 adv r. I'm coming from husky te 300i so I'll definitely be wanting to take the bike off road on some tough trails
I ended up keeping my 790 and selling my T7. The T7 engine was amazing offroad but was boring in every other aspect. The T7 was great for low speed trail riding but the 790 just did everything better. You can’t really go wrong with either bike
Great vids! Keep the good work. I have a T7 since 2019 with fully swapped suspension. I test rode the 890R thinking about switching over with that power and WP cone valve option but after the test I decided to keep the T7. Didn't like the ergonomics (can be modified) and specially the throttle feels kinda disconnected, like artificial, not sure how to express it. (even with rally mode). What's your take on that when you compare it to the Enduro bikes throttle feel or any other cable operated throttle?
@@EverySingleSunday i sold my t7 and landed on a 701e...but i Will most likely do the swap to a 890adr.. I think the t7 was awful on the highway, i think even the 701e with ergoseat was even more comfy due to the buffeting from the windscreen

18:00 That’s KTM reliability in a nutshell. Especially the newer models. I ride a 2009 990 Adv without many electronics of the newer models and even that old bike gives me electrical problems all the time.
@@EverySingleSunday Electronics in KTMs are notorious for malfunction. Had my own share on my 2009 990 Adventure. Just have a look on forums and you will see.
Out of curiosity since I just bought a like new 890 Adventure I was wondering if it was possible to show the full fuel tank availability on the TFT screen instead of a less than half?
I would NEVER run an aluminum skid plate. Aluminum grabs rocks vs sliding and will also bend. Once bent, you’ll never get it lined up again on the bike The AXP skid plates protect very well and are able to flex on impacts and will also glide over rocks and other obstacles Look at the hard enduro race series. Everyone runs a plastic plate from AXP, SXS, etc
@@EverySingleSunday Thanks for sharing your experience. I am actually considering to install an AXP bash plate on my new 890, but had some concerns. The physical coverage is obvious as well as the gliding properties. If a, say 4 mm, aluminium bash plate bends to the extent it can't be refitted, it absorbed quite an impact and did it's protection of the engine case. The 8 mm HDPE will flex, but can the 8 mm sheet of HDPE dissipate such impact as well to protect the engine case? The hard enduro race bike only weight about half of the 790/890, probably the impact force is about half, too. So far I have not yet seen them on the rally raid bikes, perhaps I haven't looked hard enough. As you obviously use your bike on tough terrain, I value your opinion very much!
I’m sure you’ll find parties on both sides saying one or the other is better. Most my riding has been done on small bikes 300/450 and with my experience I prefer the AXP skid plates I’ve had some big hit on my 790 as have the race guys at Rottweiler Performace. We’re both happy with AXP and I can only recommend what I’m happy with Hope that helps and have fun
@@EverySingleSunday Thanks for your help, I just ordered the AXP in black. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with lots of fun and no severe accidents !

How is it that while passing a semi on the shoulder you add graphics saying "closed course professional rider" ? Same thing while lane splitting. I realize it's legal in some states to split lanes but I don't know of any state where its legal to pass on the shoulder. By the way, neither one of those actions are wise at all. I enjoy your videos but dang dude!! I've been riding for nearly fifty years and I've done some pretty dumb things, dumber than that, but I never thought, gee I wish I could have shared my dumb ass with the world.
Well, CZcams removes illegal riding and wheelie video’s occasionally. That’s why all of these videos take place on “closed roads” As for splitting and passing wherever…. It’s only dangerous if you’re not comfortable doing it. Compared to most the places I rode going around a truck Isn’t a concern to me
how come you blip throttle so much in the sand instead of just keeping throttle wide open? rally racers don't ride sand blipping throttle. it's wide open.

These guys work for a living and ride for fun and they are a good.
@@martyllanos73 it's interesting that you read criticism in my comments. please tell me exactly where in my comments that i criticized the riders. it sounds like you're criticizing me? where/when have i ever claimed to be a remotely talented rider? i'm a hack who regularly crashes in my vids. i subscribe to this channel and enjoy watching the content. i didn't understand a technique, blipping throttle, that differed from what i normally see and how i ride. personally, i do watch how more talented riders, like travis, and professional racers ride and try to learn from them. travis is talented rider and, perhaps, i can learn something from his technique of blipping the throttle. how come you respond with seeming aggression to my comments?
T-700 looks brilliant & when you’re in the middle of nowhere the Yamaha gives you that peace of mind that you’ll get back , KTM just has that reputation.
After 60,000 on a 2000 LC4, 72,000 (and counting) on a 2010 690 and some 46,000 on my 2013 690 I rode while working in Mexico I think I can rightfully call that kind statement echoing trash talk. Sure KTMs are not perfect for everyone. They are derived from race experience. Service them adequately and they will keep performing. I just ordered an 890 Adventure R for the more remote adventure travel. Looking forward to it!

I realize it's legal in some states to split lanes but I don't know of any state where its legal to pass on the shoulder. By the way, neither one of those actions are wise at all. I enjoy your videos but dang dude!! I've been riding for nearly fifty years and I've done some pretty dumb things, dumber than that, but I never thought, gee I wish I could have shared my dumb ass with the world.
Well, CZcams removes illegal riding and wheelie video’s occasionally. That’s why all of these videos take place on “closed roads”
As for splitting and passing wherever…. It’s only dangerous if you’re not comfortable doing it. Compared to most the places I rode going around a truck Isn’t a concern to me
how come you blip throttle so much in the sand instead of just keeping throttle wide open? rally racers don't ride sand blipping throttle. it's wide open.
Looking for traction and trying to gain momentum on a 800cc pig if a bike
Rally racers are usually moving and they are also on a lightweight 450 with a tire that isn’t smoked
@@EverySingleSunday hmm... interesting. it seems much easier for me to ride with throttle on vs blipping it. all good. whatever works for you.
@@damytzeus You gotta love it when a fellow youtuber drops in on another youtubers channel to talk crap. Are you seriously comparing professional rally racers to a couple of weekend warriors? Be careful who you criticize. I have seen your channel and you're no Toby Price or Kevin Benavides either. These guys are good riders and will outride 98% of guys on these bikes. These guys work for a living and ride for fun and they are a good.
@@martyllanos73 it's interesting that you read criticism in my comments. please tell me exactly where in my comments that i criticized the riders. it sounds like you're criticizing me? where/when have i ever claimed to be a remotely talented rider? i'm a hack who regularly crashes in my vids. i subscribe to this channel and enjoy watching the content. i didn't understand a technique, blipping throttle, that differed from what i normally see and how i ride. personally, i do watch how more talented riders, like travis, and professional racers ride and try to learn from them. travis is talented rider and, perhaps, i can learn something from his technique of blipping the throttle. how come you respond with seeming aggression to my comments?
That was your 790R wasn't it?
It was my 790 and my T7. (Sold the T7 since this)
@@EverySingleSunday Thank you. I was waiting for an 890 to show up and never saw one.
890 or 790 ?
It’s a 2020 790
T-700 looks brilliant & when you’re in the middle of nowhere the Yamaha gives you that peace of mind that you’ll get back ,
KTM just has that reputation.
KTM has never let me down
Only issue I’ve had was that aftermarket fuel line popping off due to me making a bad crimp
After 60,000 on a 2000 LC4, 72,000 (and counting) on a 2010 690 and some 46,000 on my 2013 690 I rode while working in Mexico I think I can rightfully call that kind statement echoing trash talk.
Sure KTMs are not perfect for everyone. They are derived from race experience. Service them adequately and they will keep performing.
I just ordered an 890 Adventure R for the more remote adventure travel.
Looking forward to it!
Ktm and its quality😅 Why you didnt buy other bike?
What quality issues?
I had an aftermarket hose pop off in this
Wasn't this video previously uploaded?
I had it on a different channel a few months back. Different group of followers for the most part
That explains the very strong sense of dejavu!
Far too different categories for the same purpose
The 790 and the T700?
They are the closest two bikes one the category.
That goes to show you Ktm quality junk junk junk
How so?
@@EverySingleSunday you got your answering you video
Because an aftermarket fuel line popped off?
