You saved me again with another Vid! Thank you Ricardo for making these!
Hello mate 😆. Glad to help and thanks for writing back 🤝
All best
Ric 🙏
Thanks again for the content Ric.
This one helped me to access the coolant hosed for the dreaded leak. I only had a small amount of coolant on the sump guard this morning after a 170 mile trip yesterday, 320 miles total on the clock.
BTW I check tightened all the coolant hose clamps and most needed a slight nip, the water pump was the worst.
I just loosened the lank and lifted enough to gain access (only had 50 miles fuel left in the tank).
Thanks again for informative content.
👍
Hello Andy! Thank you mate. Sounds like you caught it nice and early too! Glad the vid helped you out a bit. I need to take all of my panels off again for a good clean.. not looking forward to it but that's the price for going on the dirt I guess. haha good move on almost an empty tank :)
CHeers
Ric
Ottimo video ! Bravo ❤
Incredible how many bolts etc holding it all togeather,,very imformative video ric, but got me thinking ya, for a bank hol Monday!!!,,
You really must want something to do😂,, you need a double garage to lay the bits n fixings about as you’ve removed them in order,,,
Well done mate, 👏👏😉
Haha thanks mate, Yeah obviously I had nothing else more exciting in my life to be getting on with :)) ... But thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Yes I was suprised too how much crap had to come off just to install the spot lights. Quite shocking really. No doubt its a labour costly job if done at a dealers. Keep safe bud, Thanks Ric
What a nightmare! Much more of a pain in the arse than the 2020 SAS fuel tank removal. Very informative video...thanks.
haha.. I know mate.. However given it rarely needs to come off.. it pays dividends with the speed of servicing such as filter access and stuff.
I got the 2022 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R and this video will come in handy. Amazing work on an amazing Adventure motorcycle you got Rick!
Hey Clifton! Thank you for the comment 👍 and congratulations on the the bike.
Cheers
Ric
Thanks Ricardo as a great job !
Thank you my friend! Pleased to hear it helps 👍 and thank you for time to write back

Hi Ricardo, I removed my tank yesterday. Wanted to check all cooling hoses and connections. No leaks found. After that I opened the right radiator cap, filled it directly to the top and took of the bleeding screw off on the left radiator. Lot of air came out and I kept filling the right radiator until the left bleeding hole showed coolant. closed it all again. Now I need wait until salt is cleared from the roads to check if coolant level doesn't go up and down anymore to much. The air did not belong there anyway. Thanks for the video..... and eeh oh yeah, my tank was empty... piece of cake :-)
Hiya Albert! Apologies for the delay - Been busy away this weekend! Fantastic new to hear you found the vid helpful and did all that work on it. Definitely sounds like a lot of trapped air in there. You will soon find out if there is too much coolant. But to be honest it will just come out the overflow anyway and find its true maximum setting. The only problem is too little which by the sound of it you have nothing to worry about! HAHA good move on doing it with empty tank! :) I will also in future either drain the tank via the petcocks or just make sure I don't have much in!!!
All the best
Ric
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
Great videos Ricardo. I’ve been watching from the beginning and today stuck a deposit down on a 2021 SAS. 😀
Hiya Lee! Cheers for popping a comment to me! fantastic to hear your into the bike and joining the rest of us. Its definitely an amazing do all bike. I hope you don't have to wait too long. I am guessing my no frills vids did not send you to sleep then haha. let me know how you get on with it!
Cheers! Ric
@@RicardoYeep you say it as it is in the vids, great work pal and so helpful. I’ve asked them to hold the bike until the new reg, I may cave in and get it sooner.
@@leeharrison1659 cheers 🍻 ! Haha hold on until new reg ! Good luck with that although probably the best move as it’s not too far away and near the start of the new season. However if you could get a decent discount on one before the (not sure if you managed it as you already put a deposit) can’t go wrong either way though. 😂
@@RicardoYeep yer I got a decent enough deal, stocks of bikes are low everywhere so nobody seems to be doing silly deals. I’m happy though! 👍🏼
Legend mate, just thought I'd check on YT to see if someone has had the tank off one of these before I pulled mine off.
Hiya Shane! Haha glad you found it useful mate 👍 and appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching !
Cheers
Ric
Thanks for the video. I'm not looking forward to stripping my 23 SAR down for wiring lights and EzCan, but this should help. Curious what the purpose for the zip tie on the petcock though. Also, the 2 lines at the front top... are they vacuum lines? Was considering doing an auxiliary fuel tank vacuum feed like Camel did with previous generation 1290, but have been told the vacuum lines on the 21+ don't allow it.
Hello John. Thanks for the comment and watching. Apologies for late reply. I am not always on these days. As for the video pleased to hear it may help with your install. As for the hoses. I am not enturely sure sorry. From memory I think they are breathers. But cannot be certain. Keep safe! :)
Cheers
Ric
Hello
What is used and why is closed the hose on 12:12 ?
As my tank still can't release the gas properly, I removed that cup thinking it was the gas release hose...
Great video Ricardo. I notice that you have your radiator water on the max level. Mine come from factory between min and max. Did you haver had any consumption of you radiator water? Mine have been dropping a litle bit. Do you think that is normal? Many thanks for your videos.
Hello Pedro! Thanks for the feedback and watching! Yes my radiator level is on the MAX. And in 5,000 miles so far it has not moved at all. LIKE NO MOVEMENT.. Do you have a small leak? can you see any water anywhere after a good ride out? I know some bikes have experienced issues with coolant leak. How much has yours been dropping? How many miles on the bike? Definitely I would keep an eye on it and see your dealer if you keep having to add more coolant!!!
Thanks
Ric
@@RicardoYeep thank you for your feedback. My bike has 5000 kms. It never consumed any water until last last weekend where i drove 700kms in one day. When i came home, i notice that the water level was on the min. My recall part was partialy melted. Now the dealer installed a new metal part insted the plastic that come with the bike. I don't see any leak. I went to the dealer and he didn't spot anything. I already drove about 100 kms and the level of water still where the dealer puts it. Do you think that could be of the plastic part ( part of the recal) that was melted? Did you fill yours to the max. Mine come from factory with a lower level. Many thanks for your help Ricardo.
Hi. It does sound like your leak was now fixed I agree. Must be after the recall part. If your water lever had not changed then it seems ok. My water level came from the dealer on the Max and that is where it has stayed from day one! I also now have the new metal recall part installed by dealer too.
Cheers
Ric
@@RicardoYeep thanks. Keep your excelent work on youtube Ricardo. Cheers
Hi Riccardo congratulations for the video. I ask you if you have had difficulty in removing the tanks after all the disconnections? In the video the moment of removal is not visible. thank you
Hello Donato! Thank you my friend for the feedback, Cheers, To answer your question I forgot to press record on the gopro! But no I did not have any issue at all removing the tank once all the connections were disconnected. All that required was a little wiggle and pull towards the rear direction and up. It then just comes off the mounts easily.
The Tank comes off as easy as it went back on. As you can see I recorded the tank going back. Its straight forward process.
Hope that helped!
Ric
@@RicardoYeep Thank you, you have been of great help
@@donatocolopi9114 no problem mate anytime and pleased to hear the video was of some use 👍
I have a 2021 ktm sas I'm struggling to run a switch cable for my fog lights. The cable needs to run from my battery to my handle bars, do you have any hints or tips. Thank you
Hello mate! There is a switch live under the left of the pillion seat tucked away called ACC2 there is also a switch live at the front also labelled ACC2.
See this vid to show how to get to it.

However I only use ktm parts which just connect to this. I cannot confirm if this will help you 👍
Good luck
Ric
Must have missed this one. , 😂. Now I can remove my panels. Going to get these covered so they don’t mark up
Haha just replied on your other question.. the satnav one also.shows how to remove too 😁👍
Glad you got there in the end mate 👍
Cheers
Ric
looks much more complicated than previous model :)
Hello there! I guess there is a trade off to improving the maintenance though. To be honest the tank rarely needs to come off. But at least you can access the air filter in 2-3 minutes which is brilliant. No tank removal for that 👍
Cheers
Ric
Hi Ric, Had my 1290 SAS for a couple of weeks now and I have a leak. Not oil or coolant but KTM suggests it might be from the charcoal container. (It is a clear liquid with a syrup texture and only leaks when the engine is cold overnight). It is booked in for repair and first service on Friday. They say they need to remove the tank to get to the problem. Having followed your Zumo SatNav wiring video and installed to the ACC2 connection, Did you have to remove your wiring during your tank removal or did they stay in situ. Your vid doesn't show this.
Hello mate! Sorry to hear about your issue but seems KTM are sorting it pretty quick. It does sound a familiar issue to be fair and nothing serious. Anyway about the wiring... No you do not have to remove all the wiring to remove the tank. Same as installation.. No need to remove the tank to install it. Hope that helps you ? :)
Thanks
Ric
@@RicardoYeep Thanks mate, much appreciated. You say the liquid leak is something that sounds familiar? I'm doing a 2,500 mile trip in a couple of weeks and the last thing I want is a mechanical niggle on a brand new bike.
@@ScragNath hi, do you know what the Problem was? I have the same issue with my SAS and we don't know what it is... I taught it was Gas that comes from the Tank when the Tank is to full
Hope to hear from you
@@mannywchc Definately not gas that would evaporate. It is coolant leakage. Just completed 4,000 miles and the leak has stopped. Ktm dealer wants to replace some components and gaskets but I think the problem has gone now that the seals have settled in.
@@ScragNath interesting... Thanks for the fast answer dude.
That was my absolute first thought, I looked at the cooland tank on the right side and it was over max so I thought its too much and I emptied it a bit but it go's on... but the Fillstand of the cooland tank is not changing... Maybe I bring the Bike to my dealer and they fix it...
BRING BACK PAD POCKETS FOR ITB PANTS
Ok faithful Ricardo. Thank you very much for some cheating will be very good for your video.
The barbarian has to put the auxiliary headlights on one day but I still don't dare.
Salu2 from your most faithful unfaithful Pako
Hello again old friend!! HAHA after you chasing and asking me for the auxiliary light install video you still have not installed them!!!!! no way!! hahaha :)
Cheers
Ric
wow this is worse than the 2017 to 2020 model. Makes me want a GS even more. Or a nice pre owned Super Adventure S
