I really enjoy your videos! Super helpful. I am doing my own installation because of you! Dealer wanted $450 to $500 to run wires and I don’t trust that they would do as good of job as I will! I am watching all your videos!
Thanks for the detailed guide on this install was invaluable when I installed the spotlights last weekend. Also hardwired in my Chigee carplay unit and fixed the heated grips wiring that my dealer didn't do correctly, I love this bike but taking it apart is a test of my love!
i paid for my bike 3 weeks ago and i called my salesman today to have them add the auxiliary lights on my bike. im gonna pick my bike up next week!!!!!
Hello and thank you for watching! Congratulations on your new bike 💪. Good move with getting them to install the lights 😂.. saves a ton of aggravation 😎
Hiya Joachim! Thank you very much for the watching the videos and kind words. Very reassuring to hear. I do my best and I have to do everything in basic easy steps. I’m kind of OCD like that 😂
Hiya Bud! Thanks a lot for the feedback mate! Yeah big time effort. The amount of time to do the work is nothing to actually cutting and editing the clips 🫣😁. Pleased to hear you found them useful. 🙏 All the best Ric
Great job Rick! Right on time, I got my lights yesterday and I really appreciate the time you put on the video, thank you very much and I would buy you a couple of beers if we were closer mate
Hi Patricio! Thank you my friend and appreciate the offer! Glad the video was ok. And hopefully saves you some time and less pain doing your installation! Great to hear from you 👍🍻 Cheers Ric
Thks Ricardo for the step by step guide. I think they look great and blend in perfectly on the bike. Might get them for my bike. Here in AUS still waiting on many of the parts you have already fitted. Looking at the new Puig touring screen Ref 20422 they have just released. Cheers for all your great effort on passing on your experiences. Jack
Hiya Jack thank you for the message mate. Yeah you’ll all. E set for when the stuff finally arrives 😆. Hopefully will save you some time knowing in advance of some processes👍 Sorry to hear delays still. We are not so bad here now. (I think) Yeah I heard about the screen you talk about. Good brand! I had one on other bikes. I’m ok with The KTM screens for now though. Thanks again 👍 Cheers Ric
Hiya Sara!! Haha thank you 😂.. I’ll make a conscious effort to flash over the coming weeks… I’ve been flat out working on my other bike before winter. But have a few things to put up about the 1290 including spots review 👍 Great to hear from you again Thanks Ric
Nice job Ric, you have been an inspiration. Glad I fitted my lights way back when you did your original electric tutorial, which I followed to fit my SatNav and aux lights. I'm effectively at the end of my upgrades, so thanks for all the info, it was so easy after watching your hard work.
Thank you mate. Its been fun indeed. And great to hear its helped you and a few others out and saved you a little time. I too am at the end now of my upgrades. Its now time to enjoy the bike! :) I am now been working on stripping down and refreshing my old 800XC... that is now taking up most time. Cheers Ric
Thanks for the vid vic. I dont intend to fit the lights but the instruction on removing the panels and tank super helpfull. I liked the sound you made when you nearly dropped one of the bolts. Thats my default when removing bolts myself. Spent many fun hours retrieving them after working on previous bikes.
Hi Paul no worries and thanks for the feedback 👍 Ha yes I was in horror thinking it would drop into the fuel tank voids and I’d have to take all that shxt off again 😂 Glad the vid helped with tank removal. I am actually going to upload an extract of that vid names tank removal as I guess it be more helpful in a CZcams search for folks just wanting tank removal 👍 Cheers again Ric
Hey Rene! Thanks for watching abs comment! Yes I had to wait a long time too for all my parts. But they will arrive mate! And you can go straight into fitting hopefully 🙏. It’s all good fun I think and learning more about your own bike too while working on it ! Cheers Ric
Ah great stuff mate! And thanks for getting in touch 👍 good luck with the install Hahaha yeah “you obviously know” what fear I had of dropping that bolt and possible implications 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣.. Cheers Ric
Hi Ricardo Just like to say how great your video is well done a lot of effort has gone into this. I did the same when I has my GSA , tank off all panels etc. I have now just bought a Ktm Super Adventure s like yours, had it for three days love it, hoping to put loads of extras on like you have, your videos are excellent..
Hiya Phil. Thank you kindly for dropping a message. Lovely to hear from you. And pleased to hear you got a SAS. It still gives me a grin every ride ☺️ Gsa also Lovely machine. Your definitely got the pick of the bunch 👍 Thanks for the positive feedback too mate! Cheers Ric
Thanks, that was excellent. After I saw the KTM price and downloaded the instructions a while back, I decided to add 4 cheap Amazon LED lights on my 2020 1290 SAS and did it without cutting. I temporarily tucked the wires behind panels (hidden) until we actually needed to remove everything to install the Rottweiler kit and then routed the wires properly. I made sure that all of the connectors are easily accessed, but tucked away - for servicing and maintenance. Of course, it would be great if the lights were installed from the factory as standard equipment for a few bucks extra! Thanks again! I'm catching up on your videos...
Morning Ray! Thanks mate for liking the clip. For sure it would be nice as a standard fit (similar to Triumohs 900 Rally Pro and other top end bikes). However its a money maker I guess. But deffo this new 2021 onwards model is aright game to install correctly haha. All fun I guess. Happy New year too! and keep well. Thanks for getting in touch! Ric
Well Ric, got it all done but it took me 6 hours+. Two things which caused me issues - 1. Storing all the wires. It really is a pain finding space behind the indicator panels. Constant trial, fit, refit and plenty of cable ties and electrical tape, LOL! 2. Don't open a petcock on one side if the other is not connected. I reek of eau de petrol LOL. In the end I did lower the bash plate and take off the petrol tank which was just about empty. That certainly made the job easier and removing/refitting wasn't the scary experience that I expected. Very happy with the result. Nothing left to fit now as far as I can see. Maybe some higher bars but the bike is really looking good now. Thanks again for the highly useful videos. D
HIya David. Haha excellent mate. Great to hear you managed it ok. And yes the worst part is cable management. There is no space at all is there! So now you know its not hard at all once you have done it. Seems daunting at first. Every job now is easy after youve done that!. All the best Ric
Salut Ricardo. Quel travail de démontage - remontage!!!! Bravo. Le directeur de KTM doit être fier d'un youtuber comme toi si passionné et précis. Merci pour le partage.
Bonjour mon ami ! Merci pour le commentaire haha... Je pense que KTM serait plus heureux si je ne postais pas les vidéos car plus de gens n'auraient probablement pas essayé eux-mêmes et plus d'argent pour les concessionnaires KTM :) Content que tu aies aimé ! Cheers Ric
Dobrý den, příteli, a děkuji vám! Snažím se být jasný a někdy příliš mnoho informací a já přetáhnout. haha. Jsem ale rád, že se ti to líbilo! Díky Na zdraví Ric
I suggest using the Hex ezCan sold by Cyclops Adventure or Denali CANsmart. I installed the auxiliary lights on my 2019 - 1290 SAR, connected through the EzCan to the Canbus into the high/low switch on the handlebar. Now the auxiliary lights also change their intensity to high and low, together with the Headlight. It was very easy to do and to program, through the device software. I used PIAA leds with two wires (not three). No modification was made to the electrical system of the bike.
Bonjour à tous ! Merci mon ami pour cette excellente réponse. Je vous remercie. Je suis heureux d'entendre que vous l'avez aimé et trouvé utile ! Si je peux vous aider en quoi que ce soit, envoyez-moi un message. Merci encore ! Ric
Привет, друг мой. И без проблем, это было весело, а также приятно знать, что другие тоже могут что-то почерпнуть из этого. Надеюсь, это помогло. И спасибо, что уделили время просмотру моего материала! Еще раз будь здоров Рик
Very well done Ricardo, crazy how many bolts and panels you have to remove. Just shows you that they could well make the bike lighter and more accessible, with a little more thought in the design of the bike. As you say, dealer will charge big money, due to the time needed, for what actually should be a pretty simple job, if for not having to remove so much. Job well done though Ric. 👍
Hi Paul. Thank you very much. yes its quite incredible really just for two spot lights! But with some time you can do this at home and save a small fortune. Definitely the dealers can make some good labour from this one! haha. Cheers Ric
Good Ricardo, as always, very good video and best final explanation. I agree with you that your motorcycle is full of trinkets ..... hahahahaha I think you have it very cool. Enjoy!!!
Thanks Gregorio! Appreciated. I tried to keep as clear as possible without trying to make video too long. Hopefully not too boring for some people 😆 No more toys for the bike now unfortunately.. I think it’s now complete… just play now 👍 Cheers Ric
Encore une fois super travail Ricardo. Très bien expliqué et merci pour la traduction. Il faut que tu mettes les tubes arrow decatalysés😉 . Merci pour ton partage. J’habite à Nice au pied des alpes, si tu viens par là je serais content de faire ta connaissance. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Merci beaucoup et ravi d'apprendre que la vidéo vous a plu. C'était un peu long, désolé. Et oui, j'ai fait en sorte que ces vidéos j'essaie d'ajouter des sous-titres bien que la traduction soit parfois mauvaise. Mais je pense que c'est mieux que rien j'espère. Et peut encore comprendre. J'adore les Alpes et j'y vais souvent. Je ne suis pas sûr la prochaine fois que je suis autour, mais je vous remercie pour l'offre qui est très gentil de votre part. Et c'est toujours génial de rencontrer de nouveaux amis. J'y penserai certainement lors de mes prochains voyages dans cette direction ! Je vous remercie. A la vôtre Ric
I'm in the midst of the exact same project. But I also installed the heated grips, 12 volt outlet and heated seat. Im concerned the 10 Amp accessary wire/fuse will handle all these items.
Hi there and sorry for the late reply. All my parts are genuine OEM and each have their own connection on the bike. So I have never had any concern for load issues. I am no tech so cant advise sorry. Good luck though. Cheers, Ric
¡Qué divertido! Pero sí, estoy de acuerdo. Ya estoy cansado de verme a mí mismo. Y lo siento yo no encajar más cosas que necesita paneles eliminados nunca más :) Saludos Ric
Brilliant as always 👌🏻, the look of relief and delight on your face when you first turned them on did tickle me🤣, i think personally i would only ever want to strip that bike that far once , you must of saved yourself a fortune in dealer fees? Now we need to see some vids of you out on it, perhaps something like a pasty run like Chopsy and Teapot?? Stay safe, good luck 👍🏻
Haha cheers Richard 🤣 there was a gulp off camera before turning the key lol.. if I had to take all that off again I’d be devastate 😂 Yeah plan on some more rally’s and possibly green Laing at some point. But I’m stuck between now using my 800XC for winter instead. Now that I’ve got it back. And I’m loving it. And for sure dealer fees would have been around £200+ for sure. So saved some money and learnt a few things along the way. Pasty run… awesome lol Cheers Ric
@@RicardoYeep given that KTM pre fit so much that is then 'enabled' if selected as option why on earth not do the same for the harness for the aux lights......or just do what BMW do and spec up a 'bells and whistles' model that the dealers push that has everything fitted and enabled.
@@brucecutts8841 I completely agree that it would not have cost much to add this harness as part of the stock wiring. And then it would have been as easy as removing the indicator panels and just drilling and connecting up. Or even just connecting up if they had breakaway plastic holes pre formed. All unnecessary work this imo. But makes money for the dealers I guess. My local dealer told me it would be a min of 2 and half hours labour for this.
Hmmm.... You sure you needed the tank off? I fished the cables through on mine. Also, the great thing about the two fuel tank taps is that you just use them to drain the fuel out before lifting it off 👍
Hi Ric, I would like to thank you for all your tutorials and video. Absolutely amazing staff! Owning a 1290 SAS 2021 about a month and very keen to add some or all the accessories you mention in your videos. After all, what's a bike during winter (even greek winters) if not adding accessories from time to time!!
Hello Dimitris! And not a problem at all and pleased the vids helped. It was also a learning and fun process for me too. And now know a lot more about my own “new” machine. Definitely recommend doing stuff where you are able to. And for sure winter is ideal time to add bits 😊 Thanks again Ric
Ric it is an awesome tutorial video that encourages me to try to do it myself. I consider myself good enough with tools and knowledge of my 2020 SAS to try to do it. Could you please share the part number of the auxiliary light kit please? Have an amazing 2022 greeting from Mexico!
Hell my friend and thank you kindly for the feedback and watching. Sounds great that you can do it too. The part number is 61914910033 It is original ktm. But quite expensive unfortunately. here in UK is £450.. And a lot more if you ask dealer to install! haha Good luck and let me know how you get on! Have a great 2022 yourself too mate! And Awesome to hear from MEXICO!!!! :) Cheers! Ric
Honestly don't know if you are aware of it, but the engine comes to life by itself with a single press and release on the starter button. At least mine does. 🙂 Very useful videos, this was an excellent one! //Pelle
Hello Pelle! Thanks for watching and the comment. I have to press the Grey button first then press the starter. Yes it starts first time with a single press. I have de activated the ARA mode for the time being so I don’t have to press the key fob. Very convenient but comes with its own draw backs of course Cheers Ric
@@RicardoYeep Yes of course, ignition first then starter. But I didn't know at first that you didn't have to hold the starter button for it to crank. I have ARA disabled too. 🙂
Hey. I thought about building Denali lights on mine. They seem to be making the wiring harness plug and play. But I wonder if I still have to rip as much of the fairing apart to get to the wiring it requires. Do you know??
Hello there! For sure there is an easily accessible ACC2 (switch live) along with and ACC1 (perm live) set of spare ports under the passenger seat tucked away usually on the left. It will be labelled too so easily identifiable. You could wire up to these albeit would mean running wired from rear to front. Not the cleanest approach but easier to access the power lines. I ran all from the front purely as it’s by the book and all the ports are at the front. Hope that helps 👍 Thanks Ric
HAHA Yeah mate I know exactly what you mean.. If I knew exactly what it involved before hand I would have been more anxious about starting it.. But seemed very straightforward if taken step by step.. And saved hundreds in labour costs.. :)
Hello Marks Thanks for watching and writing. I had the part from EBay and it is made by Pyramid Parts. The fender is the same model as previous gen 1290 SAS 👍 Cheers Ric
Hi Rick. Thanksfor the great vid on the light install. Question. Are they classed as a spreader light or high beam spot light? In Australia if they are a distance spot/ driving light they have to be wired into the high beam switch. Was the kit supplied with any alternative wiring option? Also any help with main headlight adjustment. My R main light is set a little to low. Cheers. Frank. C
Hiya Frank. Thanks and no problem great to hear it helped. As for the beam it’s definitely a spreader. And nope there were no alternative wiring options. It’s one connection simply to the switch and to the switch live of the bike. As for the headlight adjustment there is a little dial on the left side of the bike light tucked in on the rear of light within the cockpit area. Hope that was ok 👍 Cheers Ric
Hiya Tony.. haha ignore the cable tie.. that was my own addition to stop joker pals shutting off my fuel taps on the quiet... And also piece of mind they were left open..... If you saw my break down video you would understand what i meant :) Although that time was a fault of pre dlivery inspection in my opinion (no proved though). As for water leak. could be one of many things unfortunately. you need remove the right pannel most often as that is where the most common causes come from. I have never had an issue
thanks for video. do you find Auxiliary spot light being useful or mostly for the look? I like it but are very pricy so l am wondering if they really useful ..Thanks
Hello mate! The OEM auxiliary lights are ok not the best. They are expensive for what they are. But plug and play fittings so no cutting into wires. They also look the best. But I agree there are way brighter lights out there for less 👍
Good morning Ricardo, I have installed fog lights on my KTM 1290 SAS, but the dealer tells me not to connect them to the jacks that the motorcycle comes with as standard to place the original KTM ones, because they could give errors on the screen, that is true ? I see it strange.
Hello Juan. First I’ll mention I’m no technician. The acc2 “switch live” power source is where I first ran my garmin gps. I had no issues on screen, now I run the ktm spot lights off the same ACC2 and also piggy back the gps off the same source! As the spotlight sub harness has an additional connection built in which my gps runs from. Even like this I have never had any issues with error on display. If they could explain how would an error be displayed would probably be more helpful to understand. As far as I know it’s just a power source. There is actually no way an error message can be generated on screen. Even the on/off switch for spot lights are a manual switch separate to the screen menus. I may be wrong and stand to be educated. But seems odd to me too what you’ve been told. 👍
Hello my friend Ric do you know if this auxiliary lights is led ? and if you know if they are stronger than the previous models that came out because from what I saw statistics they are at 4,400 lumens while the old ones are around 600 each of them light
Hello mate. Yes all LED and correct 4,400 lumens each! Which is prett powerful. I cannot say a comparison as I never owned the previous 👍 I keep planning on doing a review on them but never had the time lately but will do at some point 👍 Thanks Ric
Hi Ric! Question for you sir and thank you for your for your efforts! My question is, did you utilize the (extra) set of connectors that were provided with the aux lights to plug your GPS leads back into? I had my dealer install the lights, provided them with my Garmin AMPS mount so they could plug into the spare set of wires, and the GPS does not power up. I think they reversed the wires when they plugged into the spare leads, and did not verify the GPS has power. This is what I am hoping, that the wires just need to be reversed! Thank you very much!
Hello Brock! No problem contact anytime. If I can help I will. As for the extra set of connectors yes I did utilise them. They are part of the Aux light harness. And my gps is plugged into this harness now to share the ACC2 switch live feed. I am sorry to hear the dealer sounds like had screwed up 🤦♂️. Hopefully a simple fix. I mean it’s not a hard job to be fair and very simple. But yes possible check they connected or correctly. 🙏👍 Cheers Ric
Good cheating Ricardo Pakonan at your feet What a great job you've done. I have the lighthouses but there has to be an easier method to put them even if it's not so professional. I have to put them on yes or yes. Thank you so much for enlightening us. Thank you. Salu2 from your most faithful unfaithful Pako
Hello again friend. Thanks for the comment. Yeah glad that one is done and finished. Its not that bad to be honest. And yes it was done exactly per KTM fitting guide. This is the same way your dealer will install but will charge a minimum of 2.5 labour hours minimum :) Cheers Ric
Hello mate. I have just checked the Denali D3 dimensions (90mm round) x (76mm) deep. These are actually quite a lot bigger than the OEM Aux lights at 55m round. A good 40% larger in diameter. I personally would not be comfortable with mounting them where the OEM Aux lights are positions. I think seriously you would only have about 10mm (if that) from the arc of each of the forks from looking at it and using to best guess with a measuring tape. if you were to have mounts that would maybe angle out ie an "L" shaped bracket either side to give the forks a slightly wider berth then your probably good. Hope that helps Ric
Hello sorry for late reply as was busy on a rally event. I agree they are not the brightest considering the cost. You can get better for sure. I had them mainly as the look great and are genuine parts. They are bright yes but not great. Hope that helps! Thanks Ric
Hi Lars… thanks mate for your feedback 👍 appreciated. Here is a link to my part. My exact purchase www.ebay.co.uk/itm/059366-Fender-Extender-for-KTM-1090-1190-Adventure-R-1290-Super-Adventure-R-/373221360334?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Hopefully that helps Ric
Hi Tony I got mine from my local KTM dealer. Had to wait a while however I have added a link to another source I have purchased parts from before. Good luck! Thanks Ric www.jimaimracing.co.uk/shop/parts/controls/switches-instruments/auxiliary-headlight-kit-61914910033/
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂…. Sorry but you probably know the answer to that. It comes with usual slip saying go to this website to download manual and guide. Only to find there is FK all there as usual. Anyway I get on well with my dealer and he manages to find a copy for me albeit was not sure if I could have it as KTM can be so secure with there manuals and stuff. Anyway I have a small photo copy. Which I worked from so I have done it correctly. However I have to add even if you have the fitting guide it does not contain all instructions as it refers you back to the workshop repair manual in order to remove and refit components “in order to be able” to use the fitting guide and install the spot lights. The fitting guide is not an all containing manual. 🤦♂️👍 Hope that helps
Hello thanks for watching! Yes mate I agree it’s crazy what is required. However if you want the spot lights then this is the process 👍🙏. They do add a lot wider beam to be fair and I am happy with them Cheers Ric
Excellent Video Ric, What a F---ing Faff. Be interesting to see how much a KTM would charge for fitting those. Nice headlight protector by the way. Are you going to do a review on those Pirelli's or did I miss that vid. Keep smiling.
Hey up mate. Yeah a bit of a faf but not too bad. Abs I like the screen protector as it does beef up the front a little particularly with the spot lights too. Yep now I’ve hammered the STR tyres and done some decent miles in all conditions I’ll be putting something thing up soon. Also after I used the spot lights as yet to test them out in dark 👍 Cheers Ric
Hello Ric! No problem and hope it helps. And yes sorry :) you must remove the fuel tank to install the KTM Aux lights. The only way to fit the harness. And you can check yourself at the dealer. Even the dealers are shocked at the amount of work needed to add these lights. This is the official install. I try not to cut corners on a new machine. Cheers Ric
Nice vid Rick. Can we expect to see how they performing in the dark? Is it worth to buy original ktm or better take a look to another well known brand (sw-motech, denali cetera)?
Hello my friend. Thank you for the feedback 👍 I have been trying to get some useable video footage but in dark it’s not too great. As it does not show as it does in real life. I am trying to sort something and do have recordings albeit poor. If you wish to have my verbal opinion say this: I personally would still buy them because they are official kit and plug and play. They do enhance light materially. And they look and are designed well to suit the bike…..BUT for £450 I was a little underwhelmed and did expect greater power. If I were to need more light for nighttime woodland rally’s or off-road at night I would probably consider other options. For £450 I am sure you could get a phenomenal set of Aux/spot lights by other specialist known brands. But for most peoples needs they are “adequate”. Albeit a bit too expensive for what they are ! I would say they are a last resort… headlamp, then main beams, then a little extra added punch is the spot lights… Hope that helps a little ? Ohh almost forgot to mention they are wide beam, not focused.. so is only short distance but wide 👍 Thanks Ric
Hi Ric, Another super video mate 👍🏼 I’m thinking about getting these lights for my SAS. Just a question for you. If you don’t switch the lights off by the switch that comes with kit, do they stay on when you turn ignition off? Cheers
Hiya Paul! Thanks mate for the feedback. They official ktm kit when plugged into the to correct ACC2 (switch live) will power off the lights when the bike is off (even if left on at the switch) 👍
Hiya Kurt! Thanks mate for watching and the great feedback! Yeah I agree the position of that switch did puzzle me to be fair.. odd place but kinda works! Cheers Ric
J’attends les crashbar SW MOTECH pour monter mes éclairages KRISTA CLEARWATER LIGHTS sur le faisceau du feu avant pour commander directement les feux avec un bouton d’arrêt et de pouvoir les utiliser avec les appels de phare et le klaxon.
Oh Ok, intéressant. Je vais devoir les vérifier. Je n'ai jamais entendu parler d'eux. Probablement un peu d'attente si elle est quelque chose comme d'autres pièces après le marché. Ils ont été lents à se lancer. Je veux dire qu'il y a très peu d'échappements en ce moment aussi. Juste Arrow et Akrapovik je pense. Cheers [...]
Gracias por compartirlo, gracias a los subtítulos en español todo es más facil, enhorabuena por tu canal!!! Me podrías decir dónde va la conexión del cable de los puños calefactables? Gracias
Hola. Y gracias por el comentario y por mirar. Me alegro de que te sirva de ayuda. No instalé los puños calefactados. Pero conozco a alguien que lo ha hecho y ha encontrado los suyos debajo de los tubos de admisión de aire. Tuvo que quitar el depósito de combustible para encontrarlos. Aunque no creo que esta sea la posición habitual para encontrarlos. Usted debe encontrar el conector hacia abajo cerca de la zona del amortiguador de dirección. hay un montón de cables. Uno de ellos es blanco. Este es un tapón blanco, quite el tapón blanco de este conector y usted puede enchufar el arnés de agarre calentado en esto. Con suerte, usted debe encontrar ningún problema facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4508975025800931&set=p.4508975025800931&type=3 Dime si puedes ver esta foto. Gracias Ric

@@javiermesonerovillalba29 Ah, si no puedes verlo, entonces es posible que tengas el mismo problema que experimentó mi amigo. Depende de cómo el empuje el cableado en la fábrica.

Hiya Eric I am not sure if you have clicked on the video section on the channel home page. But I think out of nearly 70 vids that was probably one of the first 3 :) czcams.com/video/oS9Tag92RaU/video.html Hope this one helps? Thanks Ric
Ah I see..I have not looked at the 2018 model. I am sure there should be something in the owners manual? The same prinicple would apply (as with my triumph) basically undo the spindle bolt to loosen wheel. The adjust the chain tension adjusters either side of the bike until the specified slack is achieved at the Midpoint of the lower chain. On my 800XC it was spec to be 30mm movement. I am not sure on your 2018 1290. So would need to find this out. Then torque up the spindle bolt and pinch up the adjuster bolts. then recheck all is good. 15 min job. This is what I found but is for 2016. I am assuming it would not be any different. But you would need to check. But shows what I mean. www.manualslib.com/manual/1150032/Ktm-1290-Super-Adventure.html?page=123#manual
Hi Kristi. They are from a main dealer. see below link. hope it helps. Thanks Ric www.jimaimracing.co.uk/shop/parts/controls/switches-instruments/auxiliary-headlight-kit-61914910033/
You have all the tools in the kit under your seat if you have the correct tool pack provided (I hear some have been fobbed off with previous model kits and are not as full) by accident. Anyway all you need extra is a cheap drill, 24mm hole saw, 22mm holesaw bits, and T20 torx... you could probably get all that next to nothing. compared to the astronomical labour costs for this job... even after a 10/15% discount on parts its still a lot. Cheers Ric
HAHA hello mate. I completely agree.. I would never last doing this for a living. On that note.. no brew in the world will involve me in that process again lol All the best Ric
Ciao Rick ! Video meraviglioso! Bravissimo! Le uniche cose che non mi piacciono sono gli attacchi in plastica dei faretti perché mi sembra che siano deboli per l’utilizzo offroad della mia R e l’interruttore che non è a portata di mano …. Vero?
Ciao Grazie amico. Ad essere onesti non credo che tu abbia la possibilità di romperli. Sono abbastanza forti. Simile alla plastica dura dei pannelli che ho dovuto forare, ma ovviamente un pezzo spesso di esso. Penso che si sarebbe prima danneggiare il radar o cerchi ruota prima di rompere uno di questi.
Haha no I did it in 4K but YT is so slow and is still processing HD and 4K versions sorry. It should be better by tomorrow. I only uploaded this an hour ago Also check you have it set on the best setting. Sometimes it doesn’t always default to the best quality I found Cheers Ric
I really enjoy your videos! Super helpful. I am doing my own installation because of you! Dealer wanted $450 to $500 to run wires and I don’t trust that they would do as good of job as I will! I am watching all your videos!
Thanks for the detailed guide on this install was invaluable when I installed the spotlights last weekend. Also hardwired in my Chigee carplay unit and fixed the heated grips wiring that my dealer didn't do correctly, I love this bike but taking it apart is a test of my love!
i paid for my bike 3 weeks ago and i called my salesman today to have them add the auxiliary lights on my bike. im gonna pick my bike up next week!!!!!
Hello and thank you for watching! Congratulations on your new bike 💪. Good move with getting them to install the lights 😂.. saves a ton of aggravation 😎
@@RicardoYeep thanks
Thanks for all of your videos, this helped so much putting spot lights on today and running the cables
Hiya bud.. glad it helped you a little and appreciate the feedback too, thanks 🙏
Incredibly detailed, full marks to you. Superb.
Cheers Mabs! Thanks for your time mate and comment 🙏
All the best

Ricardo, the installation went extremely well. I did not take out air box breathers but routed around and through. Once again, thank you!!!
Hey Doug! No problem mate and again good to hear all went well. Yeah some managed to do the same as you keeping the breathers in place 👍
Top👍👍👍 You're doing great.
I'm a mechanic from BMW and the quality of work is absolutely excellent and professional 👌
Hiya Joachim! Thank you very much for the watching the videos and kind words. Very reassuring to hear. I do my best and I have to do everything in basic easy steps. I’m kind of OCD like that 😂
Phew....... great job as per usual, you earned that beer Ric! 🍺
Damn mate, so much effort for your videos. Haven't even bought the SAS yet and I already spent 3+ hours watching your vids. Thank you for this!
Hiya Bud! Thanks a lot for the feedback mate! Yeah big time effort. The amount of time to do the work is nothing to actually cutting and editing the clips 🫣😁. Pleased to hear you found them useful. 🙏
All the best
Ric
A man after my own heart. Acf50 on every electrical connector taken apart 👍
😆 👍
I'm going to embark on this project for my 1290 sar. Thank you so much!
Hiya Doug! Good luck mate ! Am sure it will be easy as pie. Just take your time it is all very easy 🙏👍
Fantastic and thorough! Super educational.
Cheer’s Adam and happy new year! Much appreciated to hear positive feedback 👍
All the best abs have fun
Ric
Great job Rick! Right on time, I got my lights yesterday and I really appreciate the time you put on the video, thank you very much and I would buy you a couple of beers if we were closer mate
Hi Patricio! Thank you my friend and appreciate the offer! Glad the video was ok. And hopefully saves you some time and less pain doing your installation! Great to hear from you 👍🍻
Cheers
Ric
Masterclass as usual Ric. Looking forward to hearing how they perform at night. 👍👍
Thank you kindly mate. Yep me too looking forward to some night riding at some point. Will do a review am sure :)
cheers
Ric
I'm curious for some night footage ;-)
Grtz from Holland !
Thks Ricardo for the step by step guide. I think they look great and blend in perfectly on the bike. Might get them for my bike. Here in AUS still waiting on many of the parts you have already fitted. Looking at the new Puig touring screen Ref 20422 they have just released. Cheers for all your great effort on passing on your experiences.
Jack
Hiya Jack thank you for the message mate. Yeah you’ll all. E set for when the stuff finally arrives 😆. Hopefully will save you some time knowing in advance of some processes👍
Sorry to hear delays still. We are not so bad here now. (I think)
Yeah I heard about the screen you talk about. Good brand! I had one on other bikes. I’m ok with The KTM screens for now though. Thanks again 👍
Cheers
Ric
Great job Ric! I am looking forward to see your light :=)
Hiya Sara!! Haha thank you 😂.. I’ll make a conscious effort to flash over the coming weeks… I’ve been flat out working on my other bike before winter. But have a few things to put up about the 1290 including spots review 👍
Great to hear from you again
Thanks
Ric
Nice job Ric, you have been an inspiration. Glad I fitted my lights way back when you did your original electric tutorial, which I followed to fit my SatNav and aux lights. I'm effectively at the end of my upgrades, so thanks for all the info, it was so easy after watching your hard work.
Thank you mate. Its been fun indeed. And great to hear its helped you and a few others out and saved you a little time. I too am at the end now of my upgrades. Its now time to enjoy the bike! :)
I am now been working on stripping down and refreshing my old 800XC... that is now taking up most time.
Cheers
Ric
Thanks for the vid vic. I dont intend to fit the lights but the instruction on removing the panels and tank super helpfull.
I liked the sound you made when you nearly dropped one of the bolts. Thats my default when removing bolts myself. Spent many fun hours retrieving them after working on previous bikes.
Hi Paul no worries and thanks for the feedback 👍
Ha yes I was in horror thinking it would drop into the fuel tank voids and I’d have to take all that shxt off again 😂
Glad the vid helped with tank removal. I am actually going to upload an extract of that vid names tank removal as I guess it be more helpful in a CZcams search for folks just wanting tank removal 👍
Cheers again
Ric
Hi, Rick, excellent job and tutorial for auxiliary spot lights installation!
Wild KTM SAS 1290 just curbed by your knowledge.
Hello Martynas! Thanks mate its all good fun at the end of the day :)
As always You did a great job👍
still waiting for mine
Hey Rene! Thanks for watching abs comment! Yes I had to wait a long time too for all my parts. But they will arrive mate! And you can go straight into fitting hopefully 🙏. It’s all good fun I think and learning more about your own bike too while working on it !
Cheers
Ric
You have remarkable patience especially as you have done it a few times.Cheers.
Haha nice one Bruce! Truth is I am burning furious inside… I just contain it well.. 😂😂
I’m sick of panel removal now 😬
Picking my lights up on Tuesday at the dealer. Thanks for the video.
The gasp when you dropped the screw was everything 😂! If you know…you know 😜👍🏻
Ah great stuff mate! And thanks for getting in touch 👍 good luck with the install
Hahaha yeah “you obviously know” what fear I had of dropping that bolt and possible implications 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣..
Cheers
Ric
Hi Ricardo
Just like to say how great your video is well done a lot of effort has gone into this. I did the same when I has my GSA , tank off all panels etc.
I have now just bought a Ktm Super Adventure s like yours, had it for three days love it, hoping to put loads of extras on like you have, your videos are excellent..
Hiya Phil. Thank you kindly for dropping a message. Lovely to hear from you. And pleased to hear you got a SAS. It still gives me a grin every ride ☺️
Gsa also Lovely machine. Your definitely got the pick of the bunch 👍
Thanks for the positive feedback too mate!
Cheers
Ric
Thanks, that was excellent. After I saw the KTM price and downloaded the instructions a while back, I decided to add 4 cheap Amazon LED lights on my 2020 1290 SAS and did it without cutting. I temporarily tucked the wires behind panels (hidden) until we actually needed to remove everything to install the Rottweiler kit and then routed the wires properly. I made sure that all of the connectors are easily accessed, but tucked away - for servicing and maintenance.
Of course, it would be great if the lights were installed from the factory as standard equipment for a few bucks extra! Thanks again! I'm catching up on your videos...
Morning Ray! Thanks mate for liking the clip. For sure it would be nice as a standard fit (similar to Triumohs 900 Rally Pro and other top end bikes). However its a money maker I guess. But deffo this new 2021 onwards model is aright game to install correctly haha. All fun I guess.
Happy New year too! and keep well. Thanks for getting in touch!
Ric
Well Ric, got it all done but it took me 6 hours+. Two things which caused me issues - 1. Storing all the wires. It really is a pain finding space behind the indicator panels. Constant trial, fit, refit and plenty of cable ties and electrical tape, LOL! 2. Don't open a petcock on one side if the other is not connected. I reek of eau de petrol LOL. In the end I did lower the bash plate and take off the petrol tank which was just about empty. That certainly made the job easier and removing/refitting wasn't the scary experience that I expected. Very happy with the result. Nothing left to fit now as far as I can see. Maybe some higher bars but the bike is really looking good now. Thanks again for the highly useful videos. D
HIya David. Haha excellent mate. Great to hear you managed it ok. And yes the worst part is cable management. There is no space at all is there! So now you know its not hard at all once you have done it. Seems daunting at first. Every job now is easy after youve done that!.
All the best
Ric

@@RicardoYeep OK. Xmas gift is here 🙂 Time to use your tutorial 😀
@@BaronOnlineCZ Hahaha Excellent mate, good luck! And enjoy every minute of garage tinkering!
Cheers
Ric
I suggest using the Hex ezCan sold by Cyclops Adventure or Denali CANsmart. I installed the auxiliary lights on my 2019 - 1290 SAR, connected through the EzCan to the Canbus into the high/low switch on the handlebar. Now the auxiliary lights also change their intensity to high and low, together with the Headlight. It was very easy to do and to program, through the device software. I used PIAA leds with two wires (not three). No modification was made to the electrical system of the bike.
Nice spotlights 🤑nice job instaling them.
Hiya My friend! Thanks a lot. Yet to test them out in the dark… let’s see 😆

Great video. Thanks Ricardo. Now I need to wait if Sante Claus brings me these lights 🤣.
Thanks mate!! Haha be a good boy and Santa should bring 🤞😂
Very well done Ricardo, crazy how many bolts and panels you have to remove. Just shows you that they could well make the bike lighter and more accessible, with a little more thought in the design of the bike. As you say, dealer will charge big money, due to the time needed, for what actually should be a pretty simple job, if for not having to remove so much. Job well done though Ric. 👍
Hi Paul. Thank you very much. yes its quite incredible really just for two spot lights! But with some time you can do this at home and save a small fortune. Definitely the dealers can make some good labour from this one! haha.
Cheers
Ric
Good Ricardo, as always, very good video and best final explanation. I agree with you that your motorcycle is full of trinkets ..... hahahahaha I think you have it very cool. Enjoy!!!
Thanks Gregorio! Appreciated. I tried to keep as clear as possible without trying to make video too long. Hopefully not too boring for some people 😆
No more toys for the bike now unfortunately.. I think it’s now complete… just play now 👍

I'm in the midst of the exact same project. But I also installed the heated grips, 12 volt outlet and heated seat. Im concerned the 10 Amp accessary wire/fuse will handle all these items.
Hi there and sorry for the late reply. All my parts are genuine OEM and each have their own connection on the bike. So I have never had any concern for load issues. I am no tech so cant advise sorry. Good luck though. Cheers, Ric
Perfecto! Hasta yo me he cansado de verte! Cuando decida instalarlos en mi moto te llamo y me los instalas! 😅😅✌️
¡Qué divertido! Pero sí, estoy de acuerdo. Ya estoy cansado de verme a mí mismo. Y lo siento yo no encajar más cosas que necesita paneles eliminados nunca más :)
Saludos
Ric
What a palaver!.....I have just bought a new 1290SAS but I think I'll let the dealer fit any additional lights!...good job though!!
Hiya bud!! Yeah mate was a bit too much! You might have noticed I let the tech install my set on my new SAR.. fk that! Once was enough 🤣
Brilliant as always 👌🏻, the look of relief and delight on your face when you first turned them on did tickle me🤣, i think personally i would only ever want to strip that bike that far once , you must of saved yourself a fortune in dealer fees? Now we need to see some vids of you out on it, perhaps something like a pasty run like Chopsy and Teapot?? Stay safe, good luck 👍🏻
Haha cheers Richard 🤣 there was a gulp off camera before turning the key lol.. if I had to take all that off again I’d be devastate 😂
Yeah plan on some more rally’s and possibly green Laing at some point. But I’m stuck between now using my 800XC for winter instead. Now that I’ve got it back. And I’m loving it. And for sure dealer fees would have been around £200+ for sure. So saved some money and learnt a few things along the way.
Pasty run… awesome lol
Cheers
Ric
Glad the dealer fitted mine!!
For sure mate lol 😂
@@RicardoYeep given that KTM pre fit so much that is then 'enabled' if selected as option why on earth not do the same for the harness for the aux lights......or just do what BMW do and spec up a 'bells and whistles' model that the dealers push that has everything fitted and enabled.
@@brucecutts8841 I completely agree that it would not have cost much to add this harness as part of the stock wiring. And then it would have been as easy as removing the indicator panels and just drilling and connecting up. Or even just connecting up if they had breakaway plastic holes pre formed. All unnecessary work this imo. But makes money for the dealers I guess. My local dealer told me it would be a min of 2 and half hours labour for this.
@@RicardoYeep on another note having sold my de baffled Akro I am still waiting for the delivery of my black titanium Arrow!
Hmmm.... You sure you needed the tank off? I fished the cables through on mine. Also, the great thing about the two fuel tank taps is that you just use them to drain the fuel out before lifting it off 👍
Top Video, Thanks
Hiya Thomas! Thanks mate! 👍
Hi Ric, I would like to thank you for all your tutorials and video. Absolutely amazing staff! Owning a 1290 SAS 2021 about a month and very keen to add some or all the accessories you mention in your videos. After all, what's a bike during winter (even greek winters) if not adding accessories from time to time!!
Hello Dimitris! And not a problem at all and pleased the vids helped. It was also a learning and fun process for me too. And now know a lot more about my own “new” machine. Definitely recommend doing stuff where you are able to. And for sure winter is ideal time to add bits 😊
Thanks again
Ric
👍 good job.
Hey Jason! Cheers mate. I’m done now lol 😂 👍
Nice job ;)
Thanks mate 🙏
Ric it is an awesome tutorial video that encourages me to try to do it myself. I consider myself good enough with tools and knowledge of my 2020 SAS to try to do it. Could you please share the part number of the auxiliary light kit please? Have an amazing 2022 greeting from Mexico!
Hell my friend and thank you kindly for the feedback and watching. Sounds great that you can do it too. The part number is 61914910033
It is original ktm. But quite expensive unfortunately. here in UK is £450.. And a lot more if you ask dealer to install! haha
Good luck and let me know how you get on! Have a great 2022 yourself too mate!
And Awesome to hear from MEXICO!!!! :)

hoooly crap!!!!
and i thought my 2016 SA was a pita to get the tank off lol
compared to that, mine is a walk in the park
nice job as always mate!!
😂 it’s not too bad to be honest. Do it once and you’ll do it half the time next time around. Thanks again for feedback on the vid 👍
Cheers
@@RicardoYeep no problem. Just like the videos from "2 wheeled rider" for the older model, your video series is an amazing guide for the new model.
Honestly don't know if you are aware of it, but the engine comes to life by itself with a single press and release on the starter button. At least mine does. 🙂
Very useful videos, this was an excellent one! //Pelle
Hello Pelle! Thanks for watching and the comment. I have to press the Grey button first then press the starter. Yes it starts first time with a single press.
I have de activated the ARA mode for the time being so I don’t have to press the key fob. Very convenient but comes with its own draw backs of course
Cheers
Ric
@@RicardoYeep Yes of course, ignition first then starter. But I didn't know at first that you didn't have to hold the starter button for it to crank. I have ARA disabled too. 🙂
Hey. I thought about building Denali lights on mine. They seem to be making the wiring harness plug and play. But I wonder if I still have to rip as much of the fairing apart to get to the wiring it requires. Do you know??
Hello there! For sure there is an easily accessible ACC2 (switch live) along with and ACC1 (perm live) set of spare ports under the passenger seat tucked away usually on the left. It will be labelled too so easily identifiable.
You could wire up to these albeit would mean running wired from rear to front. Not the cleanest approach but easier to access the power lines.
I ran all from the front purely as it’s by the book and all the ports are at the front.
Hope that helps 👍
Thanks
Ric
WTAF, am just about to buy one if these, might rethink it after seeing that plastic jigsaw puzzle.
HAHA Yeah mate I know exactly what you mean.. If I knew exactly what it involved before hand I would have been more anxious about starting it.. But seemed very straightforward if taken step by step.. And saved hundreds in labour costs.. :)
Hi, where did you get front fender extender? Thanks
Hello Marks
Thanks for watching and writing. I had the part from EBay and it is made by Pyramid Parts. The fender is the same model as previous gen 1290 SAS 👍
Cheers
Ric
Yep I got to do mine. Better come and help me!
Haha hello Paul. There's no chance I'll be doing that one again soon 😆
Hi Rick.
Thanksfor the great vid on the light install.
Question. Are they classed as a spreader light or high beam spot light? In Australia if they are a distance spot/ driving light they have to be wired into the high beam switch. Was the kit supplied with any alternative wiring option?
Also any help with main headlight adjustment.
My R main light is set a little to low.
Cheers. Frank.
C
Hiya Frank. Thanks and no problem great to hear it helped. As for the beam it’s definitely a spreader. And nope there were no alternative wiring options. It’s one connection simply to the switch and to the switch live of the bike.
As for the headlight adjustment there is a little dial on the left side of the bike light tucked in on the rear of light within the cockpit area.
Hope that was ok 👍
Cheers
Ric
Sorry Rick am I missing something here cable tie on petcock valve ? need to remove tank find water leak.any help much appreciated.Tony
Hiya Tony.. haha ignore the cable tie.. that was my own addition to stop joker pals shutting off my fuel taps on the quiet... And also piece of mind they were left open..... If you saw my break down video you would understand what i meant :) Although that time was a fault of pre dlivery inspection in my opinion (no proved though).
As for water leak. could be one of many things unfortunately. you need remove the right pannel most often as that is where the most common causes come from. I have never had an issue
thanks for video. do you find Auxiliary spot light being useful or mostly for the look? I like it but are very pricy so l am wondering if they really useful ..Thanks
Hello mate! The OEM auxiliary lights are ok not the best. They are expensive for what they are. But plug and play fittings so no cutting into wires. They also look the best. But I agree there are way brighter lights out there for less 👍
Has anyone done this for the previous model 2017 - 2020 ?
Good morning Ricardo, I have installed fog lights on my KTM 1290 SAS, but the dealer tells me not to connect them to the jacks that the motorcycle comes with as standard to place the original KTM ones, because they could give errors on the screen, that is true ? I see it strange.
Hello Juan. First I’ll mention I’m no technician. The acc2 “switch live” power source is where I first ran my garmin gps. I had no issues on screen, now I run the ktm spot lights off the same ACC2 and also piggy back the gps off the same source! As the spotlight sub harness has an additional connection built in which my gps runs from. Even like this I have never had any issues with error on display. If they could explain how would an error be displayed would probably be more helpful to understand. As far as I know it’s just a power source. There is actually no way an error message can be generated on screen. Even the on/off switch for spot lights are a manual switch separate to the screen menus. I may be wrong and stand to be educated. But seems odd to me too what you’ve been told. 👍
Hello my friend Ric do you know if this auxiliary lights is led ? and if you know if they are stronger than the previous models that came out because from what I saw statistics they are at 4,400 lumens while the old ones are around 600 each of them light
Hello mate. Yes all LED and correct 4,400 lumens each! Which is prett powerful. I cannot say a comparison as I never owned the previous 👍
I keep planning on doing a review on them but never had the time lately but will do at some point 👍
Thanks
Ric
Hi Ric! Question for you sir and thank you for your for your efforts! My question is, did you utilize the (extra) set of connectors that were provided with the aux lights to plug your GPS leads back into? I had my dealer install the lights, provided them with my Garmin AMPS mount so they could plug into the spare set of wires, and the GPS does not power up. I think they reversed the wires when they plugged into the spare leads, and did not verify the GPS has power. This is what I am hoping, that the wires just need to be reversed! Thank you very much!
Hello Brock! No problem contact anytime. If I can help I will. As for the extra set of connectors yes I did utilise them. They are part of the Aux light harness. And my gps is plugged into this harness now to share the ACC2 switch live feed.
I am sorry to hear the dealer sounds like had screwed up 🤦♂️. Hopefully a simple fix. I mean it’s not a hard job to be fair and very simple. But yes possible check they connected or correctly. 🙏👍
Cheers
Ric

Ric
Hi looks great, do u have any idea , would Denali D3s fit there or hit the forks?
Hello mate. I have just checked the Denali D3 dimensions (90mm round) x (76mm) deep. These are actually quite a lot bigger than the OEM Aux lights at 55m round. A good 40% larger in diameter. I personally would not be comfortable with mounting them where the OEM Aux lights are positions. I think seriously you would only have about 10mm (if that) from the arc of each of the forks from looking at it and using to best guess with a measuring tape. if you were to have mounts that would maybe angle out ie an "L" shaped bracket either side to give the forks a slightly wider berth then your probably good.
Hope that helps
Ric
corrected my typo mistake (meant to say Denali D3)
Was hoping to see some footage with the lights, I am thinking about wether they are worth it or choosing and an aftermarket alternative
Hello sorry for late reply as was busy on a rally event. I agree they are not the brightest considering the cost. You can get better for sure. I had them mainly as the look great and are genuine parts. They are bright yes but not great. Hope that helps!
Thanks

Hi Tony
I got mine from my local KTM dealer. Had to wait a while however I have added a link to another source I have purchased parts from before. Good luck!
Thanks
Ric
www.jimaimracing.co.uk/shop/parts/controls/switches-instruments/auxiliary-headlight-kit-61914910033/
Does the kit come with ktm's comprehensive instructions ????????
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂…. Sorry but you probably know the answer to that. It comes with usual slip saying go to this website to download manual and guide. Only to find there is FK all there as usual.
Anyway I get on well with my dealer and he manages to find a copy for me albeit was not sure if I could have it as KTM can be so secure with there manuals and stuff. Anyway I have a small photo copy. Which I worked from so I have done it correctly.
However I have to add even if you have the fitting guide it does not contain all instructions as it refers you back to the workshop repair manual in order to remove and refit components “in order to be able” to use the fitting guide and install the spot lights. The fitting guide is not an all containing manual. 🤦♂️👍
Hope that helps
Is there any update to reliability with your KtM?
Hi Philip I’ve never had a problem so far. 👍
Whats the chance of flying to Sydney and doing mine?
Hiya Dimitri! haha.. I am sure there are a million Aussi's close by there to work on a KTM :)
The installation of these lights is absurd, the standard lighting of this motorcycle perfectly covers the entire road
Hello thanks for watching! Yes mate I agree it’s crazy what is required. However if you want the spot lights then this is the process 👍🙏.
They do add a lot wider beam to be fair and I am happy with them
Cheers
Ric
Excellent Video Ric, What a F---ing Faff. Be interesting to see how much a KTM would charge for fitting those. Nice headlight protector by the way. Are you going to do a review on those Pirelli's or did I miss that vid. Keep smiling.
Hey up mate. Yeah a bit of a faf but not too bad. Abs I like the screen protector as it does beef up the front a little particularly with the spot lights too.
Yep now I’ve hammered the STR tyres and done some decent miles in all conditions I’ll be putting something thing up soon. Also after I used the spot lights as yet to test them out in dark 👍
Cheers
Ric
I pass the cable on the small opening on top of the radiator...
Why you didn't do the same, the hot should not damage the cable
thanks for the video, very useful. congratulations. a question but is it really necessary to disassemble the tank? Thank you
Hello Ric! No problem and hope it helps. And yes sorry :) you must remove the fuel tank to install the KTM Aux lights. The only way to fit the harness. And you can check yourself at the dealer. Even the dealers are shocked at the amount of work needed to add these lights. This is the official install. I try not to cut corners on a new machine.
Cheers
Ric
@@RicardoYeep thank you very much💪
Anytime mate 👍
Nice vid Rick. Can we expect to see how they performing in the dark? Is it worth to buy original ktm or better take a look to another well known brand (sw-motech, denali cetera)?
Hello my friend. Thank you for the feedback 👍
I have been trying to get some useable video footage but in dark it’s not too great. As it does not show as it does in real life. I am trying to sort something and do have recordings albeit poor.
If you wish to have my verbal opinion say this: I personally would still buy them because they are official kit and plug and play. They do enhance light materially. And they look and are designed well to suit the bike…..BUT for £450 I was a little underwhelmed and did expect greater power. If I were to need more light for nighttime woodland rally’s or off-road at night I would probably consider other options. For £450 I am sure you could get a phenomenal set of Aux/spot lights by other specialist known brands.
But for most peoples needs they are “adequate”. Albeit a bit too expensive for what they are !
I would say they are a last resort… headlamp, then main beams, then a little extra added punch is the spot lights…
Hope that helps a little ? Ohh almost forgot to mention they are wide beam, not focused.. so is only short distance but wide 👍
Thanks
Ric
Hi Ric,
Another super video mate 👍🏼
I’m thinking about getting these lights for my SAS.
Just a question for you. If you don’t switch the lights off by the switch that comes with kit, do they stay on when you turn ignition off?
Cheers
Hiya Paul! Thanks mate for the feedback. They official ktm kit when plugged into the to correct ACC2 (switch live) will power off the lights when the bike is off (even if left on at the switch) 👍
Ok thanks, that’s what I was hoping. Saves accidentally leaving on and running battery flat.
Thanks for the info. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The switch should be on the handlebar; it would be much more practical and logical.
Another good video.
Thanks
Hiya Kurt! Thanks mate for watching and the great feedback! Yeah I agree the position of that switch did puzzle me to be fair.. odd place but kinda works!
Cheers
Ric
J’attends les crashbar SW MOTECH pour monter mes éclairages KRISTA CLEARWATER LIGHTS sur le faisceau du feu avant pour commander directement les feux avec un bouton d’arrêt et de pouvoir les utiliser avec les appels de phare et le klaxon.
Oh Ok, intéressant. Je vais devoir les vérifier. Je n'ai jamais entendu parler d'eux. Probablement un peu d'attente si elle est quelque chose comme d'autres pièces après le marché. Ils ont été lents à se lancer. Je veux dire qu'il y a très peu d'échappements en ce moment aussi. Juste Arrow et Akrapovik je pense.
Cheers

Gracias por compartirlo, gracias a los subtítulos en español todo es más facil, enhorabuena por tu canal!!! Me podrías decir dónde va la conexión del cable de los puños calefactables? Gracias
Hola. Y gracias por el comentario y por mirar. Me alegro de que te sirva de ayuda.
No instalé los puños calefactados. Pero conozco a alguien que lo ha hecho y ha encontrado los suyos debajo de los tubos de admisión de aire. Tuvo que quitar el depósito de combustible para encontrarlos. Aunque no creo que esta sea la posición habitual para encontrarlos.
Usted debe encontrar el conector hacia abajo cerca de la zona del amortiguador de dirección. hay un montón de cables. Uno de ellos es blanco. Este es un tapón blanco, quite el tapón blanco de este conector y usted puede enchufar el arnés de agarre calentado en esto. Con suerte, usted debe encontrar ningún problema

Dime si puedes ver esta foto.
Gracias
Ric
@@RicardoYeep gracias por contestar rápido, si eso es lo que me han comentado que estarán el el mazo de cables cerca del amortiguador de dirección en la parte izquierda pero no lo veo, tendre que desmontar alguna tapa fijándome en algunos de tus vídeos, la foto no la puedo ver no se por que....
@@javiermesonerovillalba29 Ah, si no puedes verlo, entonces es posible que tengas el mismo problema que experimentó mi amigo. Depende de cómo el empuje el cableado en la fábrica. Mi amigo tuvo que quitar el tanque de combustible y quitar todo de la misma manera que hice en mi video para la instalación de las luces auxiliares.
er la foto de abajo. Este es el peor de los casos se encuentra la conexión. Ver el enchufe (blanco) en el centro de la foto tat tiene nada todavía conectado. ¡¡¡¡¡Ahí es donde se encuentra el arnés para la calefacción grip!!!!! ¡Sé que sí loco!

Amazing and very detailed job! Put me off buying the lights to be honest
Thanks mate. lol.. sorry that was not the desired effect :)
Cheers
Ric
Rick, would you make a video on chain tension adjustments?
Eric
Hiya Eric
I am not sure if you have clicked on the video section on the channel home page. But I think out of nearly 70 vids that was probably one of the first 3 :)

Hope this one helps?
Thanks
Ric
Let me know if you found the vid ! Cheers
I have 2018. Unfortunately There’s no tensioner guide on my bike. I use an after market tension guide.
Ah I see..I have not looked at the 2018 model. I am sure there should be something in the owners manual? The same prinicple would apply (as with my triumph) basically undo the spindle bolt to loosen wheel. The adjust the chain tension adjusters either side of the bike until the specified slack is achieved at the Midpoint of the lower chain. On my 800XC it was spec to be 30mm movement. I am not sure on your 2018 1290. So would need to find this out. Then torque up the spindle bolt and pinch up the adjuster bolts. then recheck all is good. 15 min job.
This is what I found but is for 2016. I am assuming it would not be any different. But you would need to check. But shows what I mean.

Please a link of aux led… thkx
Hi Kristi. They are from a main dealer. see below link. hope it helps. Thanks Ric

Excellent! But do you really have to take everything off? I cant do this myself…😃
It really looks nice! Well done
Hiya Johan! All done as per KTM fitting guide I managed to get off my dealer 🤦♂️
@@RicardoYeep i think if i take them I definitely let the dealer do the job….
Also i dont have the right tools for it 😄
You have all the tools in the kit under your seat if you have the correct tool pack provided (I hear some have been fobbed off with previous model kits and are not as full) by accident. Anyway all you need extra is a cheap drill, 24mm hole saw, 22mm holesaw bits, and T20 torx... you could probably get all that next to nothing. compared to the astronomical labour costs for this job... even after a 10/15% discount on parts its still a lot.
Cheers
Ric
I can't tell you how many times I've removed the bodywork from 950, 990,1190 and 1290's - and I never start the job without
A box of band-aids close by!
Loving the vids - thanks again.
Haha 😂 your bang on there mate! The only thing I haven’t got in the workshop…. School boy error . Note no self get plasters 😆
Original HiD ?
Absolutely yes 👍
👍🙋♂️🇧🇻
🙏🤝 thanks mate !
Ffs mate. What a faff! Do you fancy coming over and supervising my install? I'll get a brew on 😂☕
HAHA hello mate. I completely agree.. I would never last doing this for a living. On that note.. no brew in the world will involve me in that process again lol
All the best
Ric
Ciao Rick ! Video meraviglioso! Bravissimo! Le uniche cose che non mi piacciono sono gli attacchi in plastica dei faretti perché mi sembra che siano deboli per l’utilizzo offroad della mia R e l’interruttore che non è a portata di mano …. Vero?
Ciao Grazie amico. Ad essere onesti non credo che tu abbia la possibilità di romperli. Sono abbastanza forti. Simile alla plastica dura dei pannelli che ho dovuto forare, ma ovviamente un pezzo spesso di esso. Penso che si sarebbe prima danneggiare il radar o cerchi ruota prima di rompere uno di questi.
@@RicardoYeep grazie del feedback sulle staffe dei faretti…
Nessun problema - quando vuoi, amico!
I dont even own a KTM 1290 but am already reaching for my wallet:) Nice work!
Hahaha nice one mate and thanks for both watching and the funny comment 😂😂😂
I would have leftover screws when reassembling it for sure...😆😆😆
Hahahaha 🤦♂️ excellent
Pole...😁
360P, did you film it with a potato ?
Haha no I did it in 4K but YT is so slow and is still processing HD and 4K versions sorry. It should be better by tomorrow. I only uploaded this an hour ago
Also check you have it set on the best setting. Sometimes it doesn’t always default to the best quality I found
Cheers
Ric
@@RicardoYeep Just pulling your leg mate, good video.
HAHA no worries mate :) I do honestly see crap quality when I upload so I wouldnt be surprised at times. And thanks again!
Cheers
Ric
