Thanks a million for the support guys!!
It's my first time ever vlogging and making these videos so very grateful for the positive feedback ❤️👌🔥
Keep em coming! Love your style and commentary. Informative, entertaining and I laugh out loud at least once each video. Great job!
He Always make us smile n laughing 😂
“I’m gonna crash a lot…” 😂😂😂😂😂 . Beautiful machine! Enjoy her. Even the parts are beautiful things! Congrats mate.
Honestly Dude, one of the funniest reviews I've ever watched. Thank you!
Thx 😁👌
Smokey, you are a funny man, really enjoy your blogs and I’m thinking you may of swayed me towards the SAR. Keep up the great work...👌
Thx champ! Really appreciate that 👌😉. It's by far the best bike i have ever ridden. Checks all the boxes 😊
KTM looks like fun. Suits you 🍻
It’s a joy watching your videos.
I do agree that those parts in aluminum and orange should be painted 👌
Just bought the same bike a couple of months ago. Also got the lowered Power parts seat, the Akrapovic and the Givi pannier racks which do come in black. Very happy with my new baby
Congrats dude!! 😁👌
Haha! The Gunther reference with a wake up slap is a modern classic of the channel!🤣🤣
Specially for you m8 😁👌
interesting sculpture! saw this! somewhere
Love it.
Misschien een idee voor de screen protector: Laat een acrylaat plaatje op maat maken (met twee uitstekende delen die je om kan buigen met een Fohn).. Deze plak je dan voor /over het scherm. Is nog een stuk crash-bestendiger dan een sticker ook!
A pair of high lumen LED Denali D4 or D7 lights and Denali Sound Bomb horn would be lovely too. Otherwise who wouldn’t love the bike. Ride safe and ride often.
Hey bro, nice channel! One of my favs. FYI i am American and I’m trying to get over to Europe or mostly Germany. My dream or bucket list item to go to Germany, France etc. peace! ✌🏻🤘🏻
Saludos desde Colombia #KTMFOREVER
Cheers mate,
I did also ruined my first screen protector, then I did download the instructions and did it properly with the second one: The trick is to use water with soap on the screen and on the sticker, then you can play a lot more with the position and remove the bubbles entirely :)
About black stickers I did put only the one over the tank, the side ones hide the 1290 orange logos and a lot of blue. On your bike with a lot of CF details and black crash bars will fit very well though.
And in my case side orange protectors looks very nice, but is a matter of taste :P
Haha damn!!! I was thinking about using soap as i tinted my car windows many years a go! But the manual download wasn’t working for me. Web page got blocked for some reason haha. Will try the next one with soap for sure!
Bless you
Best mod (and only mod I need) for The Pig are the KTM Rally pegs. They are SWEET for standup riding. Man this thing is a Cadillac, with stupid power for dirt use, love it.
A Cadillac with stupid power for dirt use 😂. Gotta remind that one haha. From time to time i do some highways , i was scared the Rally pegs would vibrate my legs off 😅
Good cheating
I also have the heated seat and don't need to go to the workshop so they'll work, from the screen I did. Bag holders better in black, I'm trying to give givi but there's no cry cry.
I liked the haha video. Waiting for the following thank you.
I'm having fun with your videos and the music from the chair more.
Salu2 from your most faithful unfaithful Pako
Hi Smokey. Great looking bike. I hope to take possession of same at the end of January. Tell me; why did you go for those panniers rather than the KTM standard panniers. The KTM's look snug and when you take the panniers off you don't have the clunks of metal on the side.
Hey bud! Bike is just awesome! 😁
Long story short about the panniers is just crash protection. It covers my 1200€ Akrapovic 😁. If i bought a bike for good looks i would have bought the new Superduke R. I don't want an adventure bike i'm scared off scratching or dropping 😁.
Excellent video. I just received some protection for my own 1290 (been on back order for about 6 months) so your video is really relevant. Did you use alcohol to clean the tank prior to fitting the protective stickers? Does that damage the paint? More general question. When I got my bike I swapped the original off-road tires for road tires as I figured that I'd be less likely to drop it on wet roads during Melbourne's winter. Now it is nearly summer, out of lock-down and time to explore off-road. Seems to me that it would more straight forward to swap wheels than to change the tires. Is there any technical reason not get a second set of complete wheels set up for off-road? Other than cost. First adventure bike so possibly a stupid question. Thanks.
Hey Dion , i used adhesive cleaner from the brand 3M. Don't google for 3M lawsuit in Belgium cause they probably caused cancer on a lot of people living next to the factory 😅. Anyway it's called 3M and the number on the bottle is 08984 so google that and you will find it. But no need to worry , the paint on the bike has varnish over it so just wipe it off and you good to go.
The tires will always be an issue for many. But for me personally i wouldn't swap what so ever. I live in shitty weather Belgium and here it can rain on Monday , sun shining the next day and Wednesday rain again so i would be swapping wheels everyday of the week. Just try it out , it's all personal if you ask me 😊
@@LifeofSmokey Hi Smokey cool thanks for answering my questions. You're right, the 3M adhesive cleaner is very elusive also here in Australia. I'll just use bike cleaner. Cheers for your thoughts on the tire question.
Hi Smokey,
Quick questions on the lower seat, is it more comfortable? The fact of its lower does it means less padding when compared with the “normal”? And what is your height?
Thanks
Yeah, so what's the verdict? Is it more comfortable or not?
I laugh so much watching every one of your videos, where is the Jimny?
Videos coming soon! So much work on other house at the moment 😅😅😅. But thx for the comment champ 👌😁
After watching you I m having second thoughts about buying the Africa Twim. 🙄😂🤣
@@silveriojohan Africa Twin is a good bike no worries. But the 1290 SAR is just a rocket on the road and the Honda is not 😁
@lifeofSmokey how do you like the lowered heated seat? i was torn between that and the Renzacco.
It's still pretty high and very hard after a couple hours of riding 😅🙈
hey smokey I have a duke thats due its first service soon, as you know with a brand new engine you have to keep the rpms low, do you know if you can open it up after the first service or do you have to take it easy still?
You can open it up don't worry about it that much. If you open it up couple times is not gonna damage the engine if you have over 1000km or 600miles or so. 😊
beautiful bike I got the S model very happy with it are used to ride G S I don’t feel I would ever go back to riding BMWGS it just does not have the same sportiness feel all the off-road abilities of the KTM equal the GS totally
That’s just the way i feel about it 😉
The gray sticker on the gas tank comes off just as easy as the WARNING sticker ya know.
Peeled off in small pieces 😁. Gonna steal my wives hairdryer today 😋
That zumo XT is going to ping off and fly down the road, get a security harness
Maybe KTM could bring out a special KTM 'BLACK' edition?.I dont mind some orange.I own a 1290 gt.
Now THAT would be epic!
Great but missed the new exhaust sound… :(
DB killers out is easy - I did mine in 30 mins. Drill 12mm holes in line with the retaining 8mm hex screws (open out using a counter sink drill bit to 12mm) , insert 8mm socket on a 1/4 drive and undo the hex head, they click free of the weld. Then just pull out the DB killers with long nose pliers. I use rubber grommets to act as bungs in the carbon fibre. The other way is to drill out the rivets to remove the carbon end cap but only do that if you can't free of the 8mm hex as described above I'd suggest.
Yeah i believe there is a little screw inside. Should have made a How To video for me Bruce 😁
@@LifeofSmokey lol yes I should have - now sold my db free akro in favour of a pipe that makes a nicer sound - Arrow sonora in titanium black on the way
czcams.com/video/lhUld0Y4OzE/video.html this is the long way of doing it but you can see what you need to do it the non OCD way!
Seen Ricardo's one yeah , not gonna do that haha. I do wonder where i need to drill the holes so i can get straight on to the hex head. Don't want to drill 5 holes in the carbon fiber haha
@@LifeofSmokey it’s quite easy to see where you need to drill. You don’t need to be spot on with your 12mm holes of course as long as you can get the 8mm onto the hex head.
What’s the lowered seat like for comfort? I’m worried the sponge is starting to get too thin to be comfy.
Yep it's not really comfy for longer rides 😔
Do you have a link for the heated grip install? (Not the software, just getting to the power plug: Does the tank have to come off?
Not gonna lie , i panicked , took the bike in for maintenance and let the dealer do it haha.
Do you know if the rally seat is also heated ? 😅 thanks 🙏
Higher as original , not heated 😊
How are those ergo seats? are they considerably more comfortable compared to stock?
Nope 😅. Might be my skinny behind but the ergo gel seats are not good for my behind when riding long hours.
@@LifeofSmokey Thanks for the reply, I was just about to purchase them but heard a lot of people that said they were not even slightly more comfortable than stock.
@@YahelPessi at first you think so because of the special gel inside. But after some time I feel like my butt is pushing through the gel 😅
Hey Smokey ! Do you hace the tech pack already loaded , is the adaptative brakelight working ? Can you see on your system ??
Yeah i do have the tech pack.
Didn’t check on that yet 😊
I did get the tech pack but that brake light isn’t working or showing on the system, I got mine a few days ago too heheh 1002km I did the maintenance 1000km today , they are checking with ktm. I don’t have the answer yet from them.
@@lucasantos1231 That’s weird , mine is still in pieces 🙈 Took some stuff off and spend this week working on my Suzuki Jimny that’s also in pieces 😂. Everything is out of order lol
@@LifeofSmokey hehehe I installing the Acra tomorrow , Im still waiting on my seat thought .
@@lucasantos1231 Which of the 20 seat options did you take? 😁
È l unica vera competitor del gs....è molto bella, a parte lo scarico esageratamente grande..
Mate, you are already taller and on this bike you look a bit cute with big bike 🏍
Yeah i know haha. That's why i wanted this big monster. Kinda makes me feel scared haha
Where do you buy original tank protection pads ?
Official ktm website you can order them. I added them to my configuration on the website. Tried looking for the partnumber but can't find it anymore for some reason 🤷♂️🙈
Found it i believe , go to google and enter this : KTM 61907997000
Hi there
How tall are you?
I always struggle to reach the ground with 173 cm
Anyhow, very entertaining 👍
I'm 176cm but also short legged , it's not really how big you are in total but more how high your balls are off the ground :-). For me it's also not flat footed wich is sometimes a pain. So i need to work on my skills so i don't need to put my feet down anymore haha.
Welcome to the club, 😅facing the same stuff when offrouding.
Are you coming to EICEMA motorcycle show?
If yes, I see you there 😉
Take care and be safe on your travels 👍
Someone needs to show this lad the soapy water method of applying stickers
Couldn't find the manual on ktm website. None of my parts show a manual 😂. I have used soap on tinted car windows before. I thought this wouldn't need that 😁. There was even a protection layer on there and still scratches went through 🙈
Let’s see a no non sense “Smokey” review on that Garmin XT.
It's good not gonna lie , really like it so far 😁
Imagine If someone buys this bike for me 😌
M8! Is the screen at maximum height - is the top of the screen the same height as the GPS? Cos if it is, that GPS won’t last long!
Yep the screen is just as high as the gps. And when i scroll the screen up the gps goes with it. So all good , perfect fit 😎👌
@@LifeofSmokey you reckon it will break when you crash, though? The top of the GPS will be pretty vulnerable?
@@Ptpangel crashing will not damage the gps what so ever. Or if you hit a car in front of you at high speed and you totally wreck it. They your gps might be broken 😁
Vraagje: Wat is je lengte? Ben ook van plan om deze KTM aan te schaffen, namelijk...
1.78cm met niet al te lange benen 😁.
Thanks voor je snelle reactie.
@@bedi1984 daar zijn we hier voor he! Bedankt voor het kijken 😉
The bike is one of the most impressive out there, please do not paint your crashbars - case carriers - and the frame protection kit in black . The blue color of the gas tank is impressive, the black color of the stickerset just horrible . Οrange is religion for Ktm funs.
I just can’t have to much orange haha sorry bud! 😅
If you don't crash on an adventure bike then you're trying hard enough.
Hahaha u funny
the screen protector is rubbish. I had exactly the same issue... remove it and forget about it:))
That’s good news to hear! My ego just went up a lot 😁👌
enjoy crashing🤣💥❤
Gesundheit
Thx! 😂👌
I want a mod that will allow that turd to carry gear and a passenger. terrible payload compared to the 890.
My god that pipe is horrid and the after Market one. What the hell is Akrapovic doing lately. All their modern pipes suck big time! Fugly! Like the rest of the bike however. Enjoy mate. 👍
Akrapovic keeps making street legal exhausts. And with the new EU regulations it's not getting easy with that V-twin engine haha. But i feel ya!
@@LifeofSmokey yeah I had noticed that. However I don't understand their business logic. Change a ugly road legal pipe for an equally ugly road legal pipe and pay handsomely for it. Makes no sense to me at all. Yoshimura make a nice range and some great gains. Road a Yamaha T7 with an Akrapovic pipe on it a few weeks ago. Didn't sound much different from stock to be honest. Waste of money on that bike at least.
You have bought wrong bike buddy?! Norden 901 not orange and cool
Who said i’m not buying that one also? 😁
Asked my friends at KTM-Husqvarna to be the first to test it in the country. Might not happend but i could only ask haha.
@@LifeofSmokey I'll tell you next week buddy 😜 I think 890r or norden it's a better choice... Really like 1290r but is it just me or anything after 2016 it's just boring or boringly good?! Recently bouth old yamaha tt600re air cooled and put smile on my face every time I ride it! 😜42bhp old school enduro
@@pistonhead31 Yours getting delivered next week or what? Really wanna test that thing asap and make youtube vids with it lol. I just need my 160hp , 100hp just doesn’t cut it for me. I do spend some time on the road as well and i really love how the 1290 feels and rides 😁. And offroad it’s somewhat heavier , throwing that monster into singletracks gives me a good workout haha. I have a 350 FE Husqvarna as well so when i wanna go full send offroad i take that one 😊
@@LifeofSmokey yeah just 160 in offroad... Yeah it's capable on road I ride one nearly every day as I work like technician and ktm it's one of brands we do... I do enduro and adv bike for long time and if heavy then 100bhp and 100nm it's perfect match that's why norden 901 it's gonna be selling like warm bread in the morning 😂🥖👌I am hoping tu have it sometime next week in UK it's not confirmed yet... I will be buying one for sure. 350 husky it's great... I just like tractor 600 in offroad more... I think you will get bored of 1290r after owning 901 will see 🤔😂😉
Sometimes less it's more... And if you have 2 bikes 901 and 1290r you will be going to pull out 901 every time from the garage 👆😎
Meh whatever...
No matter how good KTMs are, they are such ugly looking bikes and that awful paint scheme. Why cant they make a better looking bike with a blacked out paint scheme. That's the only reason why I will never buy a KTM.
