    Nice vid tks. An alternate view of sprocket side would've been nice also. Subbed!

    It is much easier to remove the break pads at first and reposition the wheel afterwards

    I’ve ordered my R with extra set of wheels with trail attack II on them. Simply swap the wheels and go. No fuss

      A much simpler idea TheClosr! How much did the wheels cost!

      Approx $3,000 USD. I haven’t even seen the bike yet 🤣. Dream adventure bike build. The wheels Costs include new orange milled spoked rims + upgraded galore rotors + ABS rings, upgraded chain, and tires. I had my ordered online, and picked up by Rottweiler in California.
      They are almost done building it now. It is being built exactly like this,
      czcams.com/video/V7UrBkKnrSU/video.html
      including brakes upgraded to M50. Stage 6 upgrade, full titanium exhaust with arrow cans, power commander, auto tune and new electrical systems. Plus cyclops aux. lights and Rumbux crash bar / plate system. Plus voyager pro GPS. And more..

      Also, ignition module + had the titanium pipes ceramic coated for thermal managent. If you haven’t added any upgrades, I would at least recommend the air box upgrade & SAS can delete. I believe that is ‘stage2’ or stage 3. Check out their site. Of course, I went beyond stage 6 and added additional customization, but at least the air box is absolutely recommended.

      Holy moly, that is an awesome package, what a beast! I really like those Rumbux bars, looks awesome, you must be so so excited to get this beats. Send me a pic once you get it also a video as well, will be good to see all the kit on it and how it sounds -)

    is the money economy really worth to do the back and front wheels by yourself? I pay 80£ (100 swiss francs) for changing my wheels but I am not sure if there will be any difference by bringing just the tires...I should ask my dealer maybe.

    • @BillysBikeAdventures
      @BillysBikeAdventures  Před 5 lety +1

      Hi MrPaulo1400. Thanks for comment! Indeed there is a price difference of £45, so for me worth it as i change tyres about half dozen times per year so not to wear out my off road tyre. This saves enough for at least another 2 rear tyres if needed. Good to ask, you never know what your dealer will do for you

    • @MrPaulo1400
      @MrPaulo1400 Před 5 lety

      Billys Bike Adventures I will ask. As you change that often tires, I understand better. I think I would do the same. As I change tires only when I know I will go for an off-road trip and this means once a year, I don’t mind paying the dealer. Unfortunately in Switzerland there is no possibility for off-roading in the woods, it is all forbidden. Otherwise I will keep only knobbies 😋

      MrPaulo1400 ah yes of course, tough to go off road there. Still, you have some of the best roads in the world 👍🏼👍🏼

    Is your lock nut on the wrong side, or is mine? 🧐 hmm maybe it doesn't matter😅
    I've been struggling with that damn spacer though, it's to tight in there.

    • @BillysBikeAdventures
      @BillysBikeAdventures  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Vizier. Very good question. I put back on how it was taken off. Having checked the manual, it would appear that mine is on the correct side. You got me thinking though, enough to check the manual. Stay safe. Billy

    speed censor on the back ????? ABS censor

    • @BillysBikeAdventures
      @BillysBikeAdventures  Před 5 lety

      Hi Mr Wheely. There are speed sensors on the back and front wheels of the 1290SAR. Sometimes referred to as ABS sensors as well. Is this what your question relates to? 👍🏼

      @@BillysBikeAdventures Hi Billy, They are actually ABS sensors front and rear. Shouldn't you slacken the chain tensioning bolts off before removing the axle? I always finds that it is then easier to remove the chain and slide the axle out. Just saying. Tony

    • @BillysBikeAdventures
      @BillysBikeAdventures  Před 4 lety

      Hi Tony. The KTM 1290 SAR riders manual refers to them as speed sensors as does the manual for the BMW R 1200 GSA when I did a video for rear wheel removal on that bike as well. I have had similar from other to but like to stick to what’s in the manufacturers riders manual. Thanks for watching and you comment. Ride safe. 👍🏼

    • @BillysBikeAdventures
      @BillysBikeAdventures  Před 4 lety

      Also, you can slacken the chain tensioning but I have, so far at least, haven’t had the need to do that. Perhaps a mention in my next rear wheel video, thanks 👍🏼 Billy
