KTM 1290 Super Adventure R Break in Ride

- čas přidán 23. 10. 2022
- Getting back home to New Zealand and the legends at KTM NZ hooked me up with a shiny new #ktm1290superadventurer with all my power parts swapped over and the bike all ready to go. The swoopy and fast gravel roads from home made a perfect break in ride for skids and slides. You can't beat a V twin LC8 on these roads.

Clearly you know those roads like the back of your hand. Me, I'd be absolutely sh-tting myself moving a beast that heavy around those corners on a gravel surface at those speeds. The drone footage is superb.
I'm jealous this is your job. I should've been smarter as a kid.
Still learning to trust TC on my new-to-me '17 1290r. Whole different animal than the enduro bikes I grew up on!
Awesome riding Chris!....on that monster!!...👍✌👋👋👋
You make it look so easy Chris.
Keep it up.birchy from WA.
Favorite bike 💙
Amazing 👍👍👀👍👍
Bloody brilliant cobba cheers
dammm, awesome riding, what tires was this video taken on, tkc80?
버치 멋지다❤
Awesome views and sound on this video. Are you not worried that someone would drive in front of you on those little roads? Much appreciation from France
Yes definitely. But remember we drive on the left in New Zealand. We passed many cars on this ride.
@@ChrisBirchNZ Thank you Chris for the quick answer! We, as family, definitely, need to visit your awesome country! Cheers bro.
Those were some risky drone shots! Had a few close calls!
Did you check your engine :) it looks like it was working ok. I love my 1290r
Uuff ,uno de mis sueños es tener una,saludos y bendiciones en grande hermano desde República Dominicana!!!
2:39 - 3:37 Impressed by that corner speed. How much is trusting in the tyres vs reacting within a millisecond with counter body weight to small slips or steering with the throttle?
When you counter weight and stand, you don't really have to react that fast. When you have good tires, you can feel them slide but you know how much slide you can give before it lets go. So you simply let off the throttle and it rights itself. Do it enough and you can control the amount of slide you get every turn. But you're hoping the front always stays stuck; sometimes the front slides too.
Reaction time is like, 1/3 to 1/2 a second to decide to keep adding throttle, let off, or just maintain. But again, it's all controlled and you choose to do it, it doesn't come as a surprise.
I'm not Birch but I ride a Super Tenere like this as well and that's my take on it.
@@YSPDJapan Agreed. It's not about reacting down to the millisecond. If a person watches Birch's tutorials* on cornering and body position, then see what he's doing from the drone shots, he's riding in such a way that, if/when the bike slips, he's just going to stay balanced over the top of it until it regains traction. The other, seemingly strange thing about this kind of riding is that you almost never lose the front, and the rear end slides are not a surprise - they're initiated by the rider. So while it looks risky and tenuous, it's actually relatively repeatable, consistent, and safe.
*Adam Riemann's presentations on cornering involve different terminology but arrive at similar results - the front is very trustworthy when cornering in this manner.
What drone were you using? It seemed to track you exceptionally well.
i recall him mentioning a skydio in other vids. $$$$
Great shots! TC 5 your favorite on the 1290?
I'm playing around with it a lot but I like 5 on these roads.
Hopefully they made some changes to the crash bars. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that they seem mostly cosmetic compared to the bars on the older 1090/1190/1290.
Mine work well
Watch for slipping on the left side in particular. Unlike the bars on the older models which were attached to the frame in two places the newer model is attached in one. I talked to a guy that had a zero mph drop on to mud which did enough damage to the bar that it actually buckled after it slipped down (once they move they are no longer braced properly). I had a similar situation on a 3 MPH drop, but the bar was not damaged and I was able to loosen it and whack it back in place. The last drop (sub 10 mph on trail) actually did almost 4K in damage when the left crash bar buckled after sliding down and then pushed the forward section into the skid plate which pushed into the left tank and radiator in addition to smashing in the large tank cover bodywork (my 1090R had been down at triple the speed on both sides more than once with nothing more than a mirror or lever damaged). If the crash bar actually stayed put like the older revisions none of this would have happened.
skydio is amazing
It was, now its broken 😭
@@ChrisBirchNZ so skydio is not Ready To Race. Point 🤣
Is this the Coromandel? Which roads you running here?
Mostly tapu coroglen Road.
@@ChrisBirchNZ Chur 👍
Bro ❤
so cool！so fast！ is this MPH or KPH？
Hi Chris, love your channel!. You mind telling us the gloves your wearing?
They are KTM Power Wear. I really like them. Definitely the best adv gloves they make.
Maybe I should trade my 1090r and 950SE for a 1290r !?!? That power would be addicting : )
Yep very jealous. What drone are you using?👍👍👍👍
It was a skydio2 now its a dead skydio 2 ha ha
@@ChrisBirchNZ what did it try and keep up😂😂👍👍😁
I'd love to visit and ride NZ but, alas ,my old brain will never accept riding on the left !!
Super if the road was closed for making the video but very unwise if the road was open to other vehicles.
Don't forget we drive on the left in New Zealand.
Was thinking the same thing.
4x4's here in Australia aren't big on sticking to their side.
@@pauldavies5541 This gave me anxiety haha. I'll never have the balls to ride round blind corners like that purely because there's so many 4WDs in Aus that just drive either dead centre or on your side of the road like they own it. Terrifies me!
Chris is actually super consistent and conservative in his line, when there isn't visibility. Look how close he is to the inside of the corner on the left hand turns.
Hey Chris - curious to what sort of upper body armor do you wear?
I run the armour that is in my jacket for this type of ride. ITS got ce elbow and shoulder pads.
A set of tires a day?😁
What drone are you using for the following shots?
It's a skydio 2. It's pretty good, but currently it's broken ha ha
@@ChrisBirchNZ cool thanks for the reply. You crash yours into a tree or something? Haha
We know your a Great Rider, take care Man it's not worth your Life. Have you ever tried Fishing?.
Don't worry, this is well inside the comfort/safety zone.
Hi Chris! Will you ever come to Latin America? I'd pay anything for you to train me!
Your content is great btw.
I hope so! It's been too long since I was in that amazing part of the world.
@@ChrisBirchNZ Let us know! I'd be happy to meet you. Greetings from Colombia.
Top speed berapa??
Is this the 23 model Chris?
I think so, it's identical to my previous one from what I can see.
@@ChrisBirchNZ so no radar? I’ve been waiting for this…
@@asong26 only on the S as far as I know.
@@ChrisBirchNZ Thank you Chris for your response. My brother & I are planning on joining your class during the next couple of years. Can't wait to meet you in peson!
for sale gently used 1290 lol first 100km nothing but gas'n it boyzzzz
it will be bad if a car is coming the opposite way in one of the blind turns.
Don't forget in New Zealand we drive on the left. These roads are quite busy so we are always preparing for for oncoming traffic.
@@ChrisBirchNZ I forgot completely about that, lol
Chris, your technique is all wrong. You're riding on the wrong side of the road!
After six months in Europe and America I have to agree!
@@ChrisBirchNZ You don’t want to be on the RHS when some farmer comes around the corner in his Landcruiser with the dogs on the back 😉
In South Africa we also ride on the left; a friend had a head-on collision with a Swiss tourist who was driving on the wrong side of the road in a hire car; the car hire insurance repudiated the claim stating that the law was broken by them driving on the wrong side of the road. My friend's bike is a write off and he has no claim, even though he was an innocent victim of an unintentional error the other driver made. Fortunately no serious injuries.
