Great review. As a road bike which is your favourite between the S and the R.

Hello my German friend Great to here that you bike was repaired under warranty On my second KTM and can’t see me go anywhere else Will be interesting to here the feed back on the 1390 coming out Yes I love those gloves Oliver

I have the same model. Fantastic bike love it. Just had warped front rotors and pads replaced under warranty at 10000km. Problem occurred approximately 4000km Brembo brakes so don’t know why. Rode my 1250 pretty hard with Brembo with no issues. Also had coolant leak. Topped up twice so far. Been checked apparently no issues?? Only other issue is bike falls over sometimes. 😢

I was wondering. I have a 2023 Ktm 1290 sar with 570 miles. When I fill it with gas it seems to take a few seconds for the fuel to trickle down so I can’t hold the nozzle filling as it doesn’t go down as fast as it pumps in. Is that something you have experienced or do you think I could have something blocked?

Where’s your covering from?

Well, it´s a KTM, and the quality is near the bottom of all brands, even if it´s gotten a bit better since the 950/990 and the disaster 790. Allways sell a KTM when the warranty runs out. I kept my 2020 SDR a bit to long, but only suffered a water damaged display, and rusted nuts, mostly bacause the 5 recalls had fixed some of the faults before this. I did not trade it for a SDR 1390...

Great to hear from you again, thanks for sharing.

Great review. You should do more 😃

Great video, I also own a 2023 KTM super adventure R, may I ask your suggestion for seat? I am looking for a seat for long distance trip, the seat from factory is diving forward makes me feel tired quick. Thank you!

May I ask, how often have you needed to top up coolant? Topped up prior to my recent 2700 miles tour and after the trip, level back to minimum? 2022 model. Great videos as always.

Super Natural Review 👍👍

Amazing work you are doing!!! 🙌🏻👍🏻 Where are you in Bavaria I’m Ingolstad area new here let’s catch up and ride together sometime…? Stay safe and have fun 🤩 Best Peter

What do you think about the new 1300 GS? Personally I’m thrilled with my 1250 GS, especially after testing the 1300.

Anything relating the engine character between this and last iteration?

Fantastic video. Looking forward to riding it one day

The flat sections near the top look like a well laid out race track. But really narrow. Can see why you ran wide, combination of narrow road, fatigue and surprise. Thanks for both videos, will be going there end July.

I don't understand why people still buy the orange crap.

Made In China

Col video... did you also ride down from the summit in the opposite direction? Around what time of the day did you ride, looks quite crowded at the top😊

KTM is puts out a bad product. I had a 2019 KTM 790 Adventure that I sold at 16,000 miles. Shortly after that the person that purchased the bike from me had the engine fail when he was in Mexico. There was camshaft lobe wear and a total piston failure. I felt very bad about this since I had all the maintenance per schedule performed by a KTM dealer. The engine issues I had with the bike was a leaking countershaft seal and a leaking water pump, both of which were fixed under warranty.

Loved it

In the bike business 20 years and raced before that. In my experience RK HD O-ring chain, stretches least and lasts longest! Just installed RK PREMIUM GOLD ROADRACEING CHAIN! Why trust a company ,famous for shaft drive bikes, to design a chain? Use chain wax...wont fly off!

I have a Regina Endurance chain on my Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx and it’s getting changed next week after over 30 000 kms. I find it’s a good performance, I ride all year long, all kind of roads, even some gravel and sand, no oiler. I’ve never bought the claim that it was maintenance free, I treated it pretty much like I would care any other regular chain. For me the mileage is a bigger aspect than the maintenance and in this regard I consider it a very good chain, my mechanic at the dealers’ (who by the way didn’t sell it to me, he never even had heard about it) also was very surprised by how the chain has lasted. Regards

Hi everyone, I own a SADR 1290 year 2021, it currently has around 60k km. As soon as I picked it up I had clutch problems, under warranty they changed the clutch pipes and pump, the TFT broke/cracks, changed under warranty. finally, a problem with the TC light was never resolved, I kept the bike at the dealership for over a month without understanding the problem. Currently the problem has no longer arisen, let's hope for the best. I forgot while driving I broke the transmission chain, luckily without any problems, due to a defect in the chain at around 30K, a problem not recognised. Indeed the warranty, but above all the assistance leaves a lot to be desired.👋👋💪

I run my chain dry. If it gets wet I only oil the side plates. Works for me 🍻

I'm eagerly waiting for your vedios brother, im from India viewing from small village ❤

All chains can be maintenance free. It just comes down to how long you want it to last.

from 2021 to 2022 i had a KTM 790 duke. It already had 2 years and 10.000km aprox. it came with it's software malfunctioning, after a guarantee covered service it ran smoothly. but then it started sweating oil from every single gasket. I made 14.000km with it and sold it before I ran out of guarantee. really sporty and funny but also full of reliability issues. nowadays I have a Suzuki gsr 600 with no issues

BS , nothing more nothing less.

I cannot stress out enough the benefits of having the manual in digital form. Search function, going back and forth between the different steps, zooming in on pictures to see precisely what's what. And also, a tablet/keyboard can be wiped off while paper will just stain. And while I'm not a very big fan of advanced tech, having in the future some "AI" (or neural network to be more precise ) to help with the repair in combination with a proper set of AR glasses would allow anybdy to fix their bikes/cars. But I guess that'll make us a bit dumber :))

Is this what Regina claims? Is that genuinely how they market the chain?? What mileage do they accept as “normal life”? As an engineer, I’d have to say this has got to be bollocks unless they define the durability as something really low like 10k miles… If they make the chain so robust that it can survive without any lubrication, the sprockets would wear out pretty quickly. If you don’t want to do chain maintenance, buy a bike with shaft drive FFS.

hallo, Ich folge dir und liebe deine Straßenvideos, auch mit KTM-Bezug. Ich würde gerne wissen, ob es möglich ist, die Federung der KTM der vorherigen Generation so weich einzustellen, dass man zu zweit auf teren und Schotter fahren kann. grussse Jurij

This is why I choose shaft drive bikes, even though it limits my choice.

bmw its a piece of junk - always

My KTM 1290 engine was broke within a year when I was on a trip to Austria (I come from Netherlands). I ended up 20 KM away from the KTM factory, and I needed to wait more then 2 hours for the Mobility Service (hell focking long) and they took me to KTM Salzburg. KTM Salzburg helped me friendly on Friday late afternoon but could not fix it in a few days, because the I would go home on the next Monday I took my KTM back to the Netherlands back in a van (we were in Austria with 30 motorcycles and we had a Van with us for luggage). I could not get a rent/service KTM for free so my trip was over.... When I was back in the Netherlands I took the KTM to my local dealer and they would fix it within de warranty, but it would take some time. I still could not get a rent/service bike for free from KTM/Dealer, I needed to rent one by my self (but thats way to expensive for a warranty case...), and it was July, so in the middle of the motor season...... I complained at social media about it and after a few hours I got a message from KTM Netherlands and they gave me a KTM within a day for free to use when my own KTM got repaired (+1 for KTM Netherlands).... It took more then 12 weeks that my own KTM was repaired and I got allot of issues with my local dealer because they were lying alot agains me. They said they were working on my KTM, but they didn't, every week when I came by it stands in the same corner in the same state (they didn't gave me updates or some thing)... I was furious, because my KTM ended up every time in de back of the line... Finally after 12 weeks they repaired my KTM, I was happy. But later I had issues again with my local KTM dealer because they didn't replace the oil and oil filters during the 30,000 km service even I paid for a full 30.000 km service (KTM dealer is expensive, and because warranty you need to go to the KTM dealer)... On the 40.000 service that I did on my own I found out that they didn't changed the oil or oil filters, they never told me... So I was furious, and I bought my new KTM 1290 at a different KTM dealer. I never go back to my locale dealer again.

The original chain on my 2018 Triumph Tiger went 26K mi. (41K km). Replaced it because it was getting some tight joints (kinks) but was not stretched too much. Lubed it 6 or 7 times with yamaha onroad chain lube and made 3 or 4 small adjustments. Sprockets showed virtually no wear. Apparently the oem chain was very good quality because I have never come close to getting that much life out of any other chain on my jap bikes. Could not see a brand on the chain but would like to know who made it.

KTM are renowned for being unreliable. It seems their word/guarantee is just as worthless. Buy Japanese = absolutely zero problems.

There is no doubt that a 21 inch front wheel is the best option for serious off road riding but few adventure riders will do enough really serious stuff to justify giving up the considerable dynamic advantages of a 19 inch on tarmac. Please consider that every First World Record established by motorcycle riders has been on a machine with a 19 inch front wheel, yet todays showroom salesmen will try to tell you that a 21 inch wheel is essential for adventure riding. Here are just a few examples of 19 inch wheel record holding riders in date order. 1935 Florence Blenkiron and Theresa Wallach, first humans to cross the Sahara on any form of motorised transport (Panther). 1964 Steve McQueen, first Hollywood actor to win a sliver medal at the ISDT (Triumph). 1973 Ted Simon around the world and write a bestseller about it (Triumph). 1980 Elspeth Beard first woman around the world (BMW).1994 Dave Barr, first man around the world with 2 artificial legs (Sportster). 2004 Ewen McGregor and Charlie Boorman on "the long Way Around" (BMW). 2019 Henry Crew youngest person around the world (Ducati). A tiny sample but there are hundreds more unofficial records all achieved with 19 inch front wheels, I may even hold a couple myself such as the 7,500 mile TAT in 27 days.

Yes

As always, great quality, production, and content. Can't wait for the feature length videos, thank you good sirs.

It's the north of Ireland, fixed that for ya😄

Brilliant stuff.

Great video, subbed, hope you enjoyed Ireland, sorry about the weather you got.

I had the 1290 SAT after a BMW R1200gsa. The only positive thing I can say, was the superiour power. Everything else was a Down grade. Poor build quality, poor balance, excesessive heat from the engine, very poor wind protection. If I ever buy a Ktm again, it will only be an Exc for enduro riding. 😖

25000 km is acceptable for a chain? My 42000km V-Strom 650 has the original chain and sprockets, and they're as good as new!

I think you may have misunderstood the claim from Regina. They clearly state that the chain doesn’t require lubrication, not that it won’t need adjusting. By “maintenance free” they’re simply referring to the lubrication aspect of chain servicing. A chain that never stretches or wears is a physical impossibility. On top of that, even if the chain never wore, the sprockets do, which would necessitate chain tensioning…..

A good time , not a long time .

I haven't owned a KTM, Ducati, or Moto Guzzi because of all the dealership horror stories I've heard...I'm not a rich man that can throw away money...I did have a Harley once, despite their poor dealership reputations, but I never had any problems with it...

Hi, great video! May I ask what bags you use on your KTM?

I would never ever buy a KTM, (ex service manager KTM!)
