- The KTM 790 engine, used in models like the KTM 790 Duke and KTM 790 Adventure/ 890 Adventure and even Norden 901 has had reported issues related to its camshaft and related components, Here is a look at the issue and what KTM says to that.
I can’t watch a video with irritating background music.
That music is almost as annoying as KTM engineering flaws .
If you respect your money, stay away from european junks. These days, all the companies, hunt horsepower via tight tolerances to meet euro 5 regulations and the mechanical parts always fail. Buy japanese bikes only.
Orange used to be a Great Flavor, I've owned a number of KTM's but won't buy again. This issue has simply been around far too long without resolution by the manufacturer, and support for the impacted owners is sadly lacking. I think the modern trend to extend oil change intervals is also not working in the owners favor.
The music has got to go! No music on serious topics and this issue deserves the spotlight
Should have bought the tenere smh
The trouble with potential major manufacturing defects is that v large numbers of customers will have no issues at all which creates an atmosphere of scepticism about complainants reinforced by manufacturers' rigorous denial that any problem ever existed. I guess ultimately we can all use the internet to conduct our own research and consequently exercise our freedom of well informed choice as to when and where we open our wallets.
but KTM say this is not happening must be my imagination I am watching this, thanks for adding some evidence, but as others have said the music is not helping but it is your vid.
So crazy he has to go through all that work and trouble pulling proof of service just to have to pay for labor. I'd rather just try my luck at doing the top end myself.
Thank you for sharing the issues with the 790/890 motors. My 1090 R was solid, my 890R ain’t.
1. The music is annoying and loud
I did a video on the 890 and touched on its reliability issues, I was blown away with the amount of comments concerning head internals failing at around 12,00 miles
So far I've only seen it on the LH intake cam lobes. Maybe an oil distribution issue?
I don´t mind the music. Sure it is kind of annoying, but as you said, it is a learning process. I want to support smaller channels. You earned a sub and my like.
Cross your fingers that this problem somehow won't affect the Kove 800x....Because that thing looks pretty awesome.
Take a class action out against KTM.
Hello, what country are you in? In France, I have never heard of a problem on camshafts of Ktm 790 or 890 advendure many motorcycles have high mileage and not this problem
Could it be a wheely problem?
Mine has just failed 19 k miles and after service for valve check , Ktm new the oil feed problem and chose not to recall the bikes on that year 2019 ..will not be buying a Ktm in the future , and will tell everyone I see on 790 890 to get rid of their bikes
I’ve never heard of the issue being with the head and oiling. Always heard it was just cams not being hard enough. I’ll have to look into it
