You weren't joking when you said it would need fine tuning.
It took me all afternoon yesterday fitting/coding the barrels, fitting the adaptor plate (890 ADV) and carrier, and filing the latch so it would lock.
But once on the carrier wouldn't lock because the stop on the end of the spring loaded trap was too long.
Today I have literally spent hours filing it with a chainsaw file, as access was very tight, and nothing else would do it. Avoiding damage to the black anodised finish meant a long slow process.
How I didn't break the key I'll never know as I got more and more frustrated the more times I re-fitted and failed to lock the box. Finally at 3.30pm today the key turned ... what a feeling of relief!
This box, carrier and adaptor plate cost me ÂŁ613 with no locks supplied, I feel Touratech need to up their quality control as this just is not good enough.
Thanks for posting up the videos, the lock coding one proved very useful, and this one was a constant reassurance that "they're all like that Sir".
Hehe hello mate! And thanks for the reply. Great to hear you found the vid of some help. Yeah I completely feel for you. Been there done that as you saw. Sounds like you stuck at it though and did it all. Yup the fittingâs definitely could do with some fine tuning at the factory to make things easier. Did make me laugh though reading your explanation of events đ. My thoughts exactly đ€Ł
Cheers
Ric
Sometimes it seems that a task is simple and then a small problem always appears, but you have solved very well. This case is a good product! đ
Hey there ! Yeah mate these things donât always go according to plan haha! Just a bit of extra effort need is all! But yeah I love these Touratech. I loved my givi outback trekker on the tiger but these do feel a little bit stronger. And the finish is top notch. đ
So glad you done this video it really helped me with installing my locks on my ktm790 adventure,23 touratech top box đđđđ
Nice one bud. And thanks for the feedback đ
All the best
Ric
You made it clear and simple, thank you for this
Hiya Piotr! Anytime my friend! Thanks for the feedback mate đ
Mine didnât fit that at all , carrier fit the bike , but not the case, I had some fitting to do to get it to work, had to trip the rubbers on the clamp and move the hooks 3/4â I got it but !
It's worth noting that even though you did this video a year ago, they are still churning them out exactly the same. The locking latches from my experience are a weak part of the design on these cases. I've just bought the set of 3. The topbox fits fine in my case with no need to do anything with the latch plate. The two panniers however won't lock when the cases are on the frame but will lock when they aren't. It seems to me that the two slots aren't lining up properly and even if I try push etc no joy :-(. It's in for its first service tomorrow so I will see if they can remedy the issue on both pannier boxes. They were ordered new with the bike but went on back order so I fitted the frame when it arrived and collected the boxes. I probably should have just let them do it given I'd paid the fitted price as part of the bike purchase. Trying to save them time backfired on me...
Salut Ricardo, il est magnifique ton top case, surtout dans cette couleur et je pense que tu vas installer les paniers latéraux aussi pour un grand road trip . J'ai commandé un SHAD 58 L car j'ai besoin de plus de volume pour 2 casques.Bon vacances à toi
Bonjour mon ami! Et merci oui j'adore cet ensemble de bagages. La couleur est super ! Et oui, le SHAD est aussi une excellente option. J'envisageais une boßte pouvant contenir deux couvercles, mais j'ai décidé que ce n'était pas si souvent que j'avais besoin d'autant d'espace, alors je suis resté avec ce choix.
Je mets en ligne une vidéo plus tard sur les sacoches comme vous l'avez deviné ! :)
Encore merci d'ĂȘtre restĂ© !! Bravo Ric
Yes i can try, i hope customer service can do it.
I would expect them to do it. It is KTM and its their product. And you have spent thousands on this new bike. They have to help.
Cheers
Ric
Look nice in that colour boss!!!
Cheers Rob yeah was a turn of events ending up with this. I actually ordered oem plastics for a change! But due to crazy delays the dealership offered to pay the difference and got me these in instead. Quite pleased actually they look great and better in the flesh ! đ
Thanks Ric
Hey, thanks for this, it helped me key my bags for my 790 key. Now, my locks didn't come with the little latches that actually allow the lock to...well...lock. I pinched 2 from the previous owner...but now I can't actually lock the lids onto the cases. Any ideas?
Hello there! Thanks for the comment and watching. Provided you have done everything correctly with the lock barrel and I mean all the pins perfect flush within the barrel with the key inserted. Then the problem of not being able to lock the lids onto the case can only be 1 of two things (I believe)
A) have you got the direction of rotation correct for when the barrel itself turns and the hook is going where it should be going (ie turn clockwise should hook and prevent the lid from being opened)
B) the alignment of the hook could be fractionally out. Meaning you just need to add a little pressure when turning the key maybe a little wiggle and it will then turn and lock. Look at the lock unit and the barrel and what happens when you turn the key. Youâll see what I mean. There is a chunk of metal that has to slot though.
Good luck but itâs a little hard to guess exactly what situation your in without being there đ
@@RicardoYeep the issue, is that I donât have âthe hooksâ.
@@thethrottletherapist ah sorry got it⊠youâll need to go get a lock set from ktm possibly as I would not expect the little part to be sold separately. Give the dealer a call and they will best advise
@@RicardoYeep Like i said, I already got the lock set from KTM....it doesn't come with the "hooks". Dealership also doesn't know what to do. conundrum in deed. Might have to fab some.
Hello thanks first of all for your contributions, I have often had your problem and unfortunately trying to turn the key continuously to close the tightening if the pawl has completely come out of its seat I noticed that it carries a sort of gasket. I tried to reinsert it but it always gets in the way. Centimeter off how do you think it can solve the problem to be able to reinsert it correctly?
Hiya Steve sorry for the late reply. To be fair it was such a long time ago now and I only can refer even myself to the video I uploaded. I know the lock was hard to turn. I never had a problem with it coming out as such. The problem I had was that I needed to grind a more rounded edge to the locking bar. As it would never nearly fit through the slots. Sorry if that is. It helpful to your actual question. But thank you kindly for the feedback and great to hear you found some of my stuff useful đ
@@RicardoYeep thank you soo much
Apologies - but couldn't find the vid where you mentioned the radguards.
In one of your videos you mentioned you'd purchased the R model rad guards (plastic) for your S. I've since purchased some guards from radguard Australia (still in production atm, to be shipped soon). I was on the touratech website and just discovered they now sell a set with decent openings for air flow yet they still state "Note: The radiator cover can cause the engine to overheat under extreme conditions with high outside temperatures and an extreme engine load.
Please watch your water temperature gauge." The ones I'm meant to be getting apparently wrap around from the left to right radiators protecting the engine header in the process. My concerns are, having not sighted the finished product, how big are the openings on my ones (from previous discussions they'l likely be smaller than touratechs) and then how much air flow will be blocked by covering the engine header (even if this area will have holes in the material). I'd appreciate your thoughts on this and whether or not you've noticed any difference since installing yours? (obviously hot outdoor temps will mandate riding temp results).
Hello mate! Good question and thanks for asking. Now I havenât seen the Touratech radiator guards you mention. But I think with such a huge brand to add a warning is very cautious. Almost a âuse at your own riskâ in my opinion to protect themselves from any unwanted feedback in a worst case event. It is obvious that putting any cover even with maximum airflow is still going to reduce airflow to some extent. Whether itâs material difference is down to the cover in question.
I can say I have not seen any heat issues using the oem ones from the R version.
As mentioned the R version is designed predominantly off road biased and these come fitted standard. Off road you tend to be in low gears and travel speeds generally less. Meaning engine temps are running excessively higher.
Given the above and the S is road biased running at road speeds, uses longer gears. In my opinion the oem guards will have even more airflow on the S
I have thrashed my bike, hot weather, even two up on occasion and not see. Engine temp an issue đ
KTM would have done a lot of research on that given engine heat complaints in the past. Even redesigned the rad and fan locations on this new model.
Im still yet to hear exactly why from an official source why they donât ship the S with R guards. Until then Iâll still believe theyâre are fine and work ok for me. And has saved my rad already.
Also at ÂŁ32 a pair is not expensive for an Oem part đ
Hope that helps? Cheers again Ric!
@@RicardoYeep thanks for the reply I think I might can the order, they arenât cheap and risk is greater than reward at this stage. Iâl likely do what you did and grab the ones for the R model. Canât find the part on KTMs site. Do you have the part number or a link? Thanks for your time.
Hey no problem mate here you go! Hope it helps. For what its worth look up a comment by Bruce... He wrecked his rad in 14 days of ownership and the day after he saw my video on the R rads... obvioulsy hes gutted is an understatment. And ruined his bike trip on day 1 3 hours before his arrival at his destination :(
Definitely worth it (and only my opinion) I add this in brackets as I have had a couple of thumbs down on this which I find odd.. Anyway its a thumbs up from me lol (And of course poor Bruce) . His story is here! czcams.com/video/pxKaLazGpCI/video.html

@@RicardoYeep Hey Ricardo Iâm 100% with you on the rad guards. Live and learn I guess. Thanks heaps for the part info. Keep up the good work, it is very much appreciated.
Hi Ricardo, did your case come with the locking cylinders? Shop I ordered my case through said it didn't.
Regards,
Jared
Hi Jared. I believe they should order these when you order the cases. My dealer did not order enough. You need 3 per pannier and two for the top box (for the touratech luggage) đ
Hi Rick, so like me, you are still waiting for the SW Motech back and side carriers. I wonder do the comments below mean that the SW Motech 790 carrier might fit the 2021 1290 SAS?
Hi Mark! Thanks for the comment and watching! Unfortunately I think there is some confusion? I have the Touratech kit. But yes the 790 carrier is the same as for the 1290. It actually says 790 on my box. So quite possibly the SWMotech 790 carrier should fit in theory based off this same fitting!
Hi Ricardo, what size top box did you install?
Hello mate. Itâs the standard touratech topbox from KTM Power Parts. I believe itâs the 38L (same as 790/890 luggage from memory same part number) đ
Quick question the top carrier part number: As we know the 2021 SAS is very new, so I couldn't help but notice the bolts were marked for 790. Is the carrier also 790?
Correct. Has 790 on the KTM box so same carrier. Good spot! I saw this too and had to check myself. Maybe I should have mentioning in the Vid. Either way all cool! Cheers Ric
Hi Rick, may I ask did you get the KTM key with your bike? I understood that the new SAS has no physical key.
Hey Mark! Thanks for the comment! I got the key along with ordering the Touratech pannier and top case set! You do not get a key just with a bike alone like you say! đ
Is the locking mechanisms (black part) made of plastic only?
Hiya. Yes the black mechanism is plastic only. But its the real strong type. Got more chance of snapping the hinge than damaging the black part of the lock mechanism. Its nothing I am concerned about to be honest.
Ricardo, does helmet fit in the top case? I bought KTM âstreetâ top case and it does, but I am afraid it may not hold up even on limited off-road.
Hello Vas! Morning to you! Yes my Shoei Hornet ADV fits in the Touratech KTM Top Case. All good and the fixing is solid as a rock. To be honest I wouldnât ideally take any top case off road if I can help it. But I do hear that the plastic ones âgenerallyâ need more care. đ
@@RicardoYeep cool. Thanks mate. Good to know. I have the same KTM Hornet for my âadventureâ riding. Iâll leave the plastic one for now. It looks nice. I gotta see where these roads take me, If I destroy it, Iâll get Tourtech. Waiting for the lock cylinder from KTMâŠ
Hy Ricardo. Can you help me? where you buy lock set. Thanks
Hi Stefy! Thanks for getting in touch! I had my lock set supplied by KTM. If you have the KTM Touratech panniers you will need to get your lock set from KTM directly. Touratech donât supply these. You should also make sure you get a key from KTM also as I have shown in the video. You can then code the lock to match the key đ
Do you know if this topcase fit into multistrada ?
No idea sorry mate
Hey Ricardo. Are u planning to add side panniers? I'm struggling to decide which and because there's not much available yet.
Haha hey Andre!! I am just putting the video together today đ these Touratech are awesome mate.. Iâll be uploading a bit later tonight or tomorrow probably!
Cheers for watching my stuff too. đ Ric
Hey Andre I had a complete disaster and deleted all my videos and edits of the pannier guide. I will hope to do this possibly over the weekend coming now. As I have to remove all the panniers and re-assemble again and re-record it. To complete my Touratach luggage guide. To say I was gutted is an understatement. Anyway Will keep you posted ! And thanks again for watching!
Cheers
Ric
Hello mate, wierd one, can you confirm what the touratech sticker on the inside of your topbox says?
Mine says 790 adventure and the fit is dodgy at best Hahah.
Yup 790 serial 2850 đ
@@RicardoYeep cheers mate. Its not a loose fit at all is it?
No this think you need to slam down on the mount and the key (mine anyway) needs a little pressure to get to turn. Are you having any particular issue ?
@@RicardoYeep have you got an email I can send you some photos/videos to compare mate?
@@FIREFIREBLADE hiya am on Fb messenger mate. Ricardo Yeep youâll find me with same logo / pictuređ
I can push that lock inside the slot as much as I want, it still wonât lock into place horrible engineering
:)
Tourtech are a bit pricey prefer Givi
Hiya Paul! Thanks for watching and the comment! Yeah know what you mean mate. Iâve had givi outback trekker before. Nice and do the job! Much cheaper. đ
Givi are listing, but not shipping for 1290 SAS- www.givi.co.uk/my-motorcycle/bike/ktm/1290-super-adventure-s-21
