This channel contains my voyages and my journey of self discovery in our beautiful planet. The channel will focus on motorcycles/cars and my travels with them. I am also a passionate landscape and nature photographer; so, I might include my photographic journey as well. Honestly at this point (March 2023), I am unsure of the exact direction in which I want this channel to go. So it will be a mix of all the things I mentioned above.

What's the comfortable cruising speed on 250 adv without significant vibrations? What's the highest speed you think adv 250 can go in 6 gear without much vibrations?
Bro my adv 250 has acceleration problem when it is started for first in a day .Like the bike starts there is low rev and it stops then i need to apply acceleration constantly for 30 sec to get it on What could be the issue?
I have the same adv 250 . I have done goa to hyd. 15hrs total time with stops. I stopped every 1hr for 5mins and for lunch etc. I didnt feel tired at all. So is the comfort. ❤
@@wheelsontarmac To start with I am not a cornering expert, so how it affects cornering , don't know . I did the mod for comfort , and it is comfortable. Damping I can clearly feel the difference going over a bump at 30-40 kmph, I don't have to clench my spine before hitting a speed breaker or undulations on road. Doing offroad is easier and confident for me now. Handling On handling side , the difference is not noticable. It may feel different for you due to your frame maybe, I'm 5.8 , 70kg the damping tht suits best is around 2-3 clicks on softer setting and stock preload setting, beyond that it becomes way to soft in comparison to front suspension setup and the peppy nature in 3rd gear is affected. With pillion and luggage on soft setting , it starts sagging too much , preload adjust works fine. Overall it's a comfort , not a performance tweak. If you ride single , no problems at all . If with pillion preload is the magic.
I am above 100kg myself. Plus i tend to carry lot of luggage including laptop and camera gear. I prefer using panniers too. Somehow i think 390x or 390 regular will be a better option for me than 250. Touring purpose.
You're welcome brother :) If you can get both the bikes for lengthier ride, take them both for rides along twisty roads and different terrains to help you chose.
Subscribed and watching your videos since you test rode your friend's adv 250 at Coimbatore. Short and sweet is your pattern. Helps me in many ways. Recently changed my factory fitted rear suspension to the rally one. As weighing under 70, the newer one is better. Feeling better on jolting roads. Yet to play with its adjustments.
Thank you very much for your support, I remember your initial comment on "why i chose the ktm 250 adv..." if I am correct. That is great to hear! do check and fine tune the adjustments and let us know how it feels. I would like a discussion regarding this.
Some people are saying that it works well, whereas some are saying it's too bouncy to the level it's affecting the handling on road. I am yet to meet someone who has done it on their bike. My inferences are from the videos I have seen long back when I myself thought about it. I think you should research and watch at least 10 videos before you decide on changing the suspension.
Thank you very much Sir, please provide me your contact so that I can learn from you and improve myself 🙏🙏. It would be of much help to stop my "ba ba ba ba".
For daily commute, I think a scrambler will be a better pick. Do check long term reveiews before you commit. I'm hearing a lot of issues (minor and otherwise) about the Triumph 400 twins.
If you feel like more power is important (you might feel that in highways) and would like to cruise in 120kmph constantly on highways, the 390X makes more sense. Also, if you're constantly riding with a pillion, the extra power will help in touring.
Please watch this video brother. I have mentioned in detail about fuel economy in different conditions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HR673LNYH6E.html
I am experiencing a vibration issue during traffic, which is quite annoying and makes me feel like removing the headlight, speedometer, and other components due to the excessive shaking. Unfortunately, the service center has not been able to provide a solution for this problem. However, apart from this issue, I must say that this motorcycle is truly capable for a 250cc vehicle.
Service center has the common reply format stating that these are common issues and they don't have a fix, it's sad to hear that you're having such big amounts of vibration on your motorcycle. As someone recommended, try the accessory that helps in reducing the shakiness of the front section.
Just like I mentioned in the video, after the board which says Ambanad, go a little further, you will cross a small bridge and you can turn left from there, then you'll see those rubber plantations as seen in this video. Hope this helps.
Ktm can provide you lot of power and all that at low price...but ktm is never smooth like honda the engine and gearbox honda No 1...also KTM engine doesnt last very long it needs full overhaul new block piston crank etc....and parts and labour is expensive KTM and once you open the engine and remake it...its never the same
