ALL DAMAGES & HOW-TO PREVENT THEM // Long Term Lessons Learned // KTM 1290 Super Adventure S
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 06. 2021
- 3 Years and almost 50,000 km later my KTM 1290 Super Adventure S picked up a fews scratches and damage on the way from riding some of the most demanding paved roads in Europe and a year of off-road training and riding.
I will share what I have learned and tell you what you can do to protect your adventure bike from some of the same damages. Also, I will talk about the different approach I am going to take with my brand-new KTM 1290 Super Adventure R (2020)

No way I'm taking a €22K+ road based adventure bike off-road and welcome unforced damage to the bike. It would totally ruin a weekend. I'd get a KTM 300 EXC for doing dirt riding and save the 1290 SAS for road only, however that's just me.
Tom - I wished I also had the 350 EXC 😉👍
Motos de más de 200 kg en campo... Os sobra el dinero?
With as many immaculate used bikes I’ve seen that are 5 years old with 3,000 miles on them, I wear the SAS’s scratches with pride because I actually use it! Besides those scratches are memories.
I’m really happy with the OEM protection parts. Have the KTM crash bars, skid plate and aluminum hand guards. Only after market adds are the Givi racks and Yosh slip on. Had a 20 mph low side and 90% of the damage was to the crash bar and hand guard. >22K miles in 21 months and still very happy with the bike and add-ons.
I sure had lots of „memories“ on mine 😂
I’m seriously interested in purchasing this bike, but I’m more than nervous about KTM’s reputation of wonky service and questionable quality. What would mitigate my fear is a lengthy standard warranty on electronics, the lack thereof suggesting even KTM isn’t convinced about the quality of their products.
If it makes you feel better- the key components are made by Bosch. Same as for the BMWs and the Ducati’s 😉 most stuff tends to go wrong in the first year which is usually covered by all manufacturers. I have had better luck with my KTM than my BMW with reliability- however BMW service has been excellent for the most part
most important is that you are OK and with no issues after so many km on those beautiful roads ...al the rest of the parts can be fixed...RIDE SAFE !!!
Absolutely - thank you 😉
Yes the stock exhaust on my sar is very strong. I love the 22 1290 sar
Yeah. The stock exhaust is a lot more robust than the Akrapovic
Cool tips, thanks!
Glad you found this useful 👍
Hi my German friend
I like the idea of wrapping the crash bars
Still nervous about doing off road riding on my pride and joy 🏍🇩🇪🇬🇧🏍
Thank you. I would be too with a brand new bike. Give it some time or wait until your first unplanned crash 😂😂
Thank you very informative now I know what kind of mirrors to buy thank you again
You are so welcome!
Rubber hose on crash bars hmm... interesting! Thanks!
Yeah. Keeps the superficial scratches off. 😉
@@MotoVibes yes, I googled rubber hoses the moment you mentioned it in the video. So simple but yet so ingenious. A few cable ties to put them on when off road, and then removed when in the city.
Pipewerx exhausts are good and cheap to boot. That's what I'm going for soon
👍
Well Oliver it is not too bad for what you went through, your crash could have been much worse, more importantly is that you are okay.
Exactly. It was relatively easy to fix the parts too. The bike looked like me when I sold it 😉
my tip .... dont fall 🤣🤘🏻🤙👍
That would make many things a lot easier 😂
Great tips. Prost!!
Thank you ;-) Prost!
Couldn't agree more, I see the same on my 2018 after 29k km. Where did you get the headlight protector film from? I would try it, cause it doesn't change the aspect of the bike, like the KTM or aftermarket solid protection. Thanks!
All the way from China. Only place I could find. See the link in some of the previous comments. I am on the go right now 😉
Seems from both of your crashes, your body position is backwards... you are counterleaning instead of hanging on the inside.
Where did you get the headlight protector film thing? I also don't really like the big plastic protectors, the Puig is the only one I could ever convince myself to buy.
Check out the description in this video for the link to the product czcams.com/video/ZryihWG2L_Y/video.html
Sorry. There was no link in that video.

Hi,
I'd like to know If You had any issues with the rear shock absorber ?
I did not. And it did get a good workout last year during all the off-road stuff 😉
To pay $80 for a piece of plastic, then realizing it is also bad designed and causes more damage than it prevented, so you have to fix your extremely overpriced piece of plastic with $2 rubber, and then also spend your money to fix the damage it caused... thanks bro, that's the kind of things that I appreciate the most in a video, hope a lot of people see it and avoid that products and even the product of that brand, man they should feel ashamed for selling so crappy product at that very high price, a totally scam there
Thank you very much. They could add a few rubber strips and instructions on how to use them - the actual frame guards works well.
Hey Oli, hast du einen Link für die Schutzfolie des Scheinwerfers?
Wusste gar nicht das es sowas gibt. Habe lediglich eine Schutzfolie für das Display.
Alle Sachen wirklich top erklärt 😎👍
Schau mal in der Beschreibung von diesem Video czcams.com/video/ZryihWG2L_Y/video.html 😉
@@MotoVibes das Video hab ich doch längst gesehen 😎 aber da ist es leider nicht bei😅
@@pierreschmale sorry- dachte es war da mit dabei. 😂 m.de.aliexpress.com/item/1005002388266481.html?srcSns=sns_More&spreadType=socialShare&bizType=ProductDetail&social_params=20234429916&aff_fcid=34ede292224e496e9a70201d6fea7ad0-1624683467866-08900-_mLnEdEv&tt=MG&aff_fsk=_mLnEdEv&aff_platform=default&sk=_mLnEdEv&aff_trace_key=34ede292224e496e9a70201d6fea7ad0-1624683467866-08900-_mLnEdEv&shareId=20234429916&businessType=ProductDetail&platform=AE&terminal_id=a18ca408941943a79f7cf703b79b024f
I noticed that you're not using a chain oiler anymore. Any perticular reason why? My next bike will be a chain driven one so im curious.
Check out his other videos i remember he talked about it onced
I did in this video czcams.com/video/ZryihWG2L_Y/video.html 😉
@@MotoVibes Ahh totally missed that. Looking forward to the vid on how those work out!
Danke für die Tipps! Wie läufts mit der Neuen? ;)
Hat ein bisschen gedauert mit dem Video 😉 die R ist der Hammer. Freu mich auf die erste große Tour im August: Norwegen 🇳🇴
@@MotoVibesHehe ja aber trotzdem danke! Hab gestern die push Nachricht aufm Motorrad bekommen XD.
Norwegen? sehr cool! Hatte ich auch schon überlegt. Sogar auch im August, aber steht bisher noch gar nichts fest. Also mal schauen :). Viel spaß auf jeden Fall!
Thx
Sure 😉
What material use you to protect crash bar? Can you link me buy where? Thanks
This is what I used www.amazon.de/dp/B08HQHK9FK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It looks okay on your bike, but really no kind of wrap will provide any kind of serious protection in case of a road crash. I think a rubber tube won’t help either. You would have to install some kind of goofy looking crash balls.
@@TR850 absolutely - the crash bars are there to protect the bike and take the damage instead - especially during a road crash. The nylon wrap will help if the bike falls over during low speed maneuvering- especially in the dirt
Not a single electrical fault, coolant leak, rim bent, chain rattle, gear failure? That must be a custom assembly unit or from some local factory production line that was not moved to China )
The 2020 1290 Super Adventure R that I bought afterwards also had no issues whatsoever. Does not mean nothing ever goes wrong with KTM but so far so good.
@@MotoVibes Point is, everything reported does not even remotely resemble a damage. There're numerous riders stating all kinds of issues from bad metallurgy to never ending electrical glitches, production faults, cable and wiring route flaws etc. So such a drastic difference in experience must have some reasonable explanation besides 'just a bad batch'. One of the possible variants could be different production places, that a serial number should be able to identify.
ALUMINIUM, you have been spending too much time in the States ;-)
😂😂😂
👍🙋♂️🇧🇻
Thank you. Btw Norway 🇳🇴 is the next country I am traveling to 😎
Viel günstiger ist eine durchsichtige 3M Schutzfolie.
Das geht auch. Muss man dann halt zuschneiden 😉
