Watched two videos of yours now my friend - simply excellent - thank you! Great photography and very pertinent information! All in your second language - incredibly impressive! Just wish my German was as good as your English!! Danke, Phil Nova Scotia Canada.
Thank you very much Phil - I am glad you like the videos! There is more content coming up in the next weeks - with nowhere to travel in the winter I am using the time to edit my 2020 material now 😉 cheers, Oliver
Thank you very much Steve. I actually considered the Diavel (the normal one) for short while - even took her for a full day test ride. Really loved the engine and power delivery and love the bad ass design. The second test bike was the Multistrada anf then the 1200 GS - I went for the BMW at the time and switched to KTM 2 years later. Now I have the versatility of an adventure bike with the power of the Ducati 😉
@@MotoVibes the rallye footpegs are like foot boards compared to stupid small original footpegs. So much more comfortable, more assured. Instant smile as soon as you start riding with them.
@@MotoVibes well to be honest I have to wait a while before getting extras ,come and live in South Africa and see how long it takes you to get sat nav shocks seats etc etc ,but yes the reason I commented was ,I would love to be in a world where my dream bike or car could just stay the way I always dreamed it would be without having to take out a bank load to modify it , just saying bud
Wildlife Safaris Johannesburg i hear you but you live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. 😎 gotta be happy for what you have 🤙 cheers mate
The scenery is fantastic, the accessories are sound choices, your English is amazing. Recently bought one of these bikes and I agree that the seat is hard, it annoys me that most bike manufacturers offer (at great expense) a ‘comfort seat’ - a comfortable seat should be standard issue, especially on this type of bike. Enjoyed your video thank you.
Mine has sump guard off a R model, lever protectors as the stock ones barley defect wind, Radiator guards again off the R model. Screen protector, and headlight protector. My S model has the crash bars and the ergo seat. Mine has dirt tires and does a lot of gravel roads. I don't care for pretty bits, I care about protecting the bike when I drop it., not yet but my turn will come. Love the bike
I love adventure bikes. I have a 2005 Yamaha FJR1300 and recently sold my 1999 Yamaha R1 because I got too tired riding it. I have had three adventure bikes, a 2003 V-Strom, a 2015 Multistrada and have just bought a 2020 KTM 1290SAS. I put far more miles on the adventure bikes than the others because they are just as fast and much easier to ride. I planned to sell the FJR when I got the Multistrada, but this turned out to be a huge disappointment: ridiculous throttle maps, awful suspension and frequent costly repairs. If the SAS works out, I will sell the FJR.
@@67daltonknox congrats to your KTM 😎 not everyone seems to get away with no issues- I hope you do and can enjoy the bike like I have - the SAS Is awesome 😉 cheers.

Hi Jan - For my trips around Europe (14-18 days) this is my current luggage setup - I started with panniers and arrived at soft luggage (for now) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GtAT7LlLTGA.html
Congratulations to your new 1290 SAS! Good to know that they have the power parts now. I found it odd that they did not have that as parts of the accessories from the beginning.
But like many others the wait time for accessories are huge, 6 months for crash bars, ergo seat and wire wheels. Should be a great bike, I think there is plenty of ability for light to moderate off road riding in it. You just have to spend the money to get the bike ready for it.
@@srk9357 it’s crazy with the accessories- there weren’t even any for the 2021 model in the beginning- now delivery times are super long. Well I hope you will get whatever you need soon. 😎
Nice vlog and beautiful country. The first thing I changed out on my 1290 SAR were the foot pegs. My size 13 boot didn't fit on those narrow pegs very well so I put on a set of Rally pegs . Rox bar risers didn't hurt either plus they look good.
Thank you very much. I actually thought about replacing the foot pegs too - especially because I do a bit more offroad stuff now. Just came back from a weekend of riding offroad.
You should also add proper hand guards, the original plastic ones are useless when you drop the bike, it makes sense to have these along with the crash bars and the flip up levers.
Nice video! I have a BMW R1200 GS and went to the French Alps this summer with an couple of friends. One of them also rides a 1290 S. The Beamer is a great bike, but once I rode that KTM...waauw..that was amazing! That torque, that VTwin engine is superb.. I guess I'm gonna change bike for next summer :) I like the black and grey colors for 2020..it's just a matter of convincing my other side of the bed :) , first gonna testride the Super Duke GT and compare it with the Super Adventure and decide which one it will be..do you have any experience with the GT? thanks for the great scenery, reminds me of our trip..greetings from Belgium
Hey - sorry for the late response and thank you for your comment. I have ridden the 1290 Super Duke R but not the GT version. Somehow I already bought into the ADV bike category as I owned a BMW R 1200 GS before getting the KTM 1290 SAS. Also at the time the GT was not as advanced as the SAS - no LED headlight and LED display etc. I guess the choice is a bit harder now. I would love to test ride a current GT model and see how it compares to the SAS - I guess you cannot go really wrong with either - just go what feels right to you ;-) cheers mate!
Wow great video, again! Love your channel, keep up the good work 👍🏻 I would like to know what kind of Akra you have; Euro 3 of Euro 4? Insert in or out? It sounds awesome!! Cheers, Danny
D vdK thank you for your nice comment 👍 not sure about the Euro 3 or 4 but it’s street legal. You cannot simply remove the DB eater on this one. Mine is not modified.
@@MotoVibes @danny K Hey you 2, since the Superadventure Update (i think it was in 2017) the 1290 Superadventure is a an Euro 4 motorcycle. Cool Videos Motovibes, keep on! Ride safe guys!
Great vid! chain oilers are a great idea, I have a Scottoiler x system fitted to my Speed Triple RS , it hooks up to the battery so no vacuum connection, and main reservoir has an accelerometer fitted in it, so the oiler only pumps when the bike is moving.
Thank you very much - the chain oiler was definitely a good investment. It even got its own video now ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cFhGtYTyfYA.html 😂
great vlog with helpful information. I have bought the Givi smoked screen for my 1290sas on your recommendation and has made a really big difference far less wind buffeting and cut down noise👌. Note for you I just installed a powerbronze beak which is quite subtle and finished the look of the front of the bike off really well, not really functional but looks great.
Hallo , wie immer tolles Video. Ich habe eine frage zur der Navi Halterung von BMW, wo hast du den Zündstrom abgenommen?Habe jetzt auch von BMW auf KTM gewechselt und möchte mein Navigator 5 weiter verwenden. Gruß Heiko
Vielen Dank Heiko. Zündstrom findest Du hinter dem Hauptscheinwerfer - dieser ist leicht abzunehmen - es gibt 2 Stecker ACC1 Dauerstrom ACC2 zündstrom. Am besten Motorrad vor eine Wand stellen und den Scheinwerferpegel mit tape markieren- dann hast Du nach dem Einbau wieder die richtige Höhe eingestellt 😉
Great video and incredible scenery! Hondo perfect squeeze mount works extremely well on my 1290 S- I believe they have a wireless charger option as well.
J Bartlett thank you very much. And thanks for the tip! I just replaced the old Touratech phone mount with the new Touratech phone mount despite the issues I had with it
@@MotoVibes Right on, man. I'm curious as to your specific routine chain maintenance. I found the OEM chain stretched REALLY fast on mine and I'd like your input.
OK - this is going to be a long one 😉 I did not have to adjust the original chain myself in between tire changes - I assume the shop did after tire replacements. I changed the chain and sprockets after about 35,000 km after my last big trip to France. On my way home (long stretch of Autobahn - 30C and 200 km/h) I did not notice that my chain oiler nozzle was plugged up with dirt and did not lube the chain. I noticed 200 km from home and it was not a pretty picture 😬. Chain was sagging and there were rust particles all over the rim 😠 A good reason for a full chain service (should have done a video on this) once I got home. Long intro - but that is why I am taking extra care now to keep the chain and rear sprocket clean 😎 It would have been a disaster had this happend a few days earlier on my tour. Since I am using a chain oiler the oil that gets on the chain does not have any adhesives (unlike the oil from chain lube sprays) - it is just plain old chain saw oil. Most times a little bit of water to wash of the dirt works fine. Every so often I use a litte bit of chain cleaner (last time 2 weeks ago), let is soak, rub of the dirt with a cloth and rinse with clean water - crank up the chain oiler for the next 15 min of riding and the chain is good to go. So, my plan is to not let the chain (and rear sprocket - the oil gets dropped on the sprocket and the centrifugal forces push the oil onto the chain) get too dirty in the first place - I did not clean the chain/sprocket before I went on my almost 8000 km France trip and ended up messing up the chain. 😬 Soo - yes - sometimes I miss the shaft drive of the BMW GS I owned before the KTM 😂
Another good video. Interested to know why you chose the super adventure s over the Super duke GT - I am assuming off road capability ? I can see you having some great fun on the SD GT !
It was not the offroad capabilities so much at the time even through I liked the longer suspension travel of the Super Adventure S which I was used to coming from the BMW R 1200 GS - it just opens up other roads that would otherwise be to uncomfortable on a bike like the SD GT . I did look at the Super Duke GT but the Super Adventure won because of the versatility and it already had the full LED light and the display etc. - The Super Duke GT is a great bike though 😎
Hi, it is a great video. I woud like to ask you, why did you use for chain lube this system (CLS EVO)? And why you didn´t buy from Scottoiler? Is CLS EVO better for you and why? And are you satisfied with this? Thank´s for your answer.
Thank you. Like I said in the Video the smaller size - especially for the control unit that goes the steering bar but also the rest was one big reason- you cannot see the chain oiler at all. Only the small tip that hits the rear sprocket. Also it uses less oil- 100ml will last almost 10,000 km. Last but not least it is a small one man show company with a great product- it nice to know that this supports a small business 😉
Hi Man, love your films. I also have the touratech bracket and bought a very slim wireless Charging pad. Did you need to cut the back pad of the touratech bracket?, I don't have enough room for my s9 when the pad is on top of the rubbery part of the bracket.
I just removed the foam pad entirely. I used velcro to attach the wireless charger which gives a little bit of cushioning when the phone is in the bracket
Great video! Question: what didn't you like about the Puig windscreen? And what did you like about the Givi windscreen? And how do they compare to the Touratech windscreen? Again, thank you for a great video!
The coverage (slightly better on upper body and shoulders) and the wind buffeting noise is more pleasant on the GIVI for me. Unfortunately I have no experience with the Touratech screen. I hope this helps
MotoVibes Thank you so much for taking your time to answer! This helps a lot! I’m in the progress of switching my 790 Duke to a 1290 Adventure S so while I’m waiting for my new bike I’m researching parts to pass the time. Again, thanks a lot!
Hey there, thanks for the detailed review. A question if I may; is the mounting of BMW Nav V straight forward? Can one use the standard plugs (for power) that comes with the navigator? Any caveats or things to think about? Bought a 2019 1290SAS last year and, since like you I've got a BMW history, been thinking about buying a used NAV V, with the cradle as you have, thanks.
Thank you Knut - the installation is really simple - it will not work with the standard plugs but the cradle just needs power hookup (2 wires) which you can get from behind the headlight on the KTM. If you are lucky your can reach them when you remove the phone mount on the right - they are located between the steering stem and the headlight. I am using the "switched" plus connector. If not you need to remove the headlight - which is no big deal just take a bit longer - if you have the bike in your garage turn on the headlight and mark how the light is adjusted on the wall (with tape etc.). This makes it easier to get the proper headlight level once you put the headlight back on again ;-) I hope this helps
Thanks for the video. This week I bought a KTM 1090 S (2018) and wind noise is terrible. the windshield mounting is different than the 1290 so I'll keep the search....
I would think they have to make a windshield for the 1090 too. Well you can alway so it the other way around and fit the bike (upgrade to the 1290) to fit the windshield 😂
@@orpaztron Thank you! I hope you will find a fix - maybe try using ear plugs - sounds silly but that is what I have been doing for years now to protect my hearing - and of course it helps with the wind noise too. I use the Alpine Moto Ear Plugs - they are very comfortable and you can still hear voices well while blocking out wind noise. Happy Holidays!
I installed Rigid dss and hex ezcan. The Dss has 3 angled additional lights on the side that increase tremendously lateral visibility. Add to that the strobe capability of the additional lights, actuated by the push to pass button (high beam) or the horn, and you have a visibility at intersections second only to police cars and ambulances! Rigid Dss pro is the sh..t.
Mate this is great! Super helpful! got 2 questions: How often do you clean the chain? (love to see a video about this) How much do you charge your battery during winter? do you keep it always plugged in? I can't keep it plugged in because its parked in a public garage (no plug nearby), so i literally have to move the bike next to a plug and then take it back. What if i do it once a month? will the battery resist? Thanks
Thank you for you nice comment! I still trying to figure out a regular cleaning cycle but lately it seems better to clean it more often - then it is also easier to do - the oil from the chain oiler is basically chain saw oil and it does have the adhesives that chain lube contains. This means you can wash of most dirt with just some water and then crank up the oiler for the next few KM to get the chain oiled again. As for the battery - I ride all year and do not remove the battery or charge is separatly - I do not ride much in the winter but the bike never sits longer than 2 months until is moved again
Great video , Any idea if the GIVI windshield will fit the 2020? my supplier says the windshield is different from 2019 to 2020 which i find hard to believe and are you still running the same fog lamps ?
I am pretty certain the there have been no changes to the windshield mount between 2017-2020. The only thing that was update were the graphics in 2019 but everything else remained the same. As for the fog lamps - yes, I am still running the same SWMotech fog lamps - however, I broke one of them during an offroad training and bought a new set of fog lights and I had a warranty replacement due to water built-up in the lights.
Nice video ans thanks for your big test. About the windscreen, are you correctly protected on your helmet and shoulders (low and high position) ?I am 1m90 and with the OEM it is quite tired with a long travel. Too many turbulences on the top of my helmet on high position. I’m not enjoy to take ST’s because really huge. I think the S’s is the good compromise to have protection and keep a sportive allure. Thanks in advance for your answer.
At 190 cm the small screen may just work for you but you could just be a bit too tall - I am 180 cm and I ride the screen in the lowest settinh - and the protection is much better than the stock windscreen - both in heigt and width. I hardly use a higher setting -sometimes on the Autobahn - so there is extra room for a taller rider but at 190 cm you may just be too tall. I agree with ST being too tall - that just looks goofy. Maybe you just have to order it and give it try - worst thing is it does not work and then you resell it. I hope this helps
Unfortunately my brake and clutch levers from V-Trec didn’t fit... Standard length and they hit the handguard. So for people who want to buy those (do, they really look nice!) go for the adjustable length or short 2 finger version. Cheers!
Thanks for your comment - there is a video on the gear: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-76XFRVEsjPg.html and one on the helmet: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xg8RnfKu3UQ.html I hope this helps
Thanks for the video. I have the same Givi windscreen om my KTM 1290 SAR 2019. Happy with it but my right hand side mirror hit it when turning extreme left. Can not adjust this - did any report similar issue and found a solution to that? Assume I may have to adjust the right handle controls alltogether to make the adjustment.
Hello I’m Pedro from 🇵🇹 Portugal I also have a KTM like yours that I bought in 2021 (new one, 0 km) I love it ❤ Thank you so much for all you share with us 👌 I Can not find the CLS chain oiler Evo Tour Uni + digital display motorcycle Can you help me on this topic? Thank you so much
Hi Pedro - thank you very much and congratulations to your KTM 😉 check out the CLS website www.cls-evo.de/ to order directly. You can change the language to English and select the shipping location to Portugal. Hope that helps 😉
Hello MotoVibes very interesting video. I'll have soon a 1290 Super Adventure S and I'm very interested on the GPS cradle and I have few questions if you can answer them. 1) The left-hand site buttons works even if you don't connect the proprietary BMW connector? I mean, if these buttons are somehow connected with the three cables of the BMW connector could be very interesting for something I have in mind 😎 2) Do you use any connector protector when you don't have the GPS on the cradle? 3) It works with Navigator VI also right? Your channel is very inspiring, thank you
Joan - thank you for the kind words. I am happy to anwer your questions: 1) Yes - they do work - the cradle only has a power connector and the buttons of the cradle feed directly into the Navigator - aside from the fact that I already own the Navigator V this is actually a really useful feature that I use a lot when I am using my navigation system while I am riding 2) No, I have the navigation system in the cradle most of the time - also they are gold platted and will not corrode. 3) It should - they all use the same connectors but I have not tried it yet. It is very likely that it will work. I hope this helps, Oliver
@@MotoVibes perfect! Thank you for your answers. I'm looking for an elegant way to install a button on the bike that allows me to install the remote for my parking door and if that buttons worked autonomously, not connected to GPS would have been amazing. I'll keep on thinking 🤯
@@MotoVibes Kind of! On my old bike I installed a button that is connected to the remote and it's very convenient. When I found the best solution I'll let you know 😎
Texas, USA here, do you have suggestions for a guard for the headlight, radiator, and left/right fuel valves? I have a 1290 SA-R, for reference. Your videos were very crucial in my decision to purchase. Thank you for your efforts!
Nice to know - thank you very much Samy! I did a video on the offroad mods as well which at least covers the radiator guard which is from KTM (PowerParts) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_yjVpDS4UqE.html The headlight guard woud have been nice on my last offroad training where I chipped of part of the paint from the middle part (the heat sink between the lights). I would probably go with KTM PowerParts in this case as it is clear plastic and would protect from small rock chips better than a metal screen. I have not given the fuel valves much thought yet - do you find them to exposed?
Unsure about aftermarket products, but I don't think KTM lists rad guards for SAS. I understand they do for SAR and they are the same radiators with no fitment issue on SAS.
August is a bit crowded but if you go earlier or later in the season it gets a bit better. I absolutely need a GPS - I do not like to pull over and try to find my way on a map. Also I like to get as much riding in a day as I can as I only get so many days in a year that I can ride - if you ride 500 km in the alps it helps if you have planned out your route beforehand - but everyone is different - this is how I do it ;-)
I have rode 100 of thousand sox mile son GS GSA but build quality going south and i really fancy a change how do you get on with KTM are they reliable ? Have you enjoyed the change ?
I did a video on this topic a year ago. Now after 3+ years and almost 50k km nothing has really changed on my assessment from a year ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hjV0RimLBzg.html
Hi and thanks for your videos, like them and your riding a lot. Did you maybe forget the quickshifter+ on your list? :-) Two questions, I would really appreciate an answer from you because I absolutely trust you in being honest: I'm just deciding on what will be my next bike. I ride a 1290 Superduke R since 2014, but because of back problems after an accident I have to look for something more comfortable. My KTM dealer made me a VERY good offer on a brand new 2019 1290 SAS with pp seat, Akra, Quickshifter+. BUT I'm afraid of two things: That the suspension will not be comfortable enough in the long run (have done a short test ride in the rain but was unable to tell if the thing is better than my "old" SDR). And second: Many people are complaining that the bike will get unbelieveble hot in summer. That would be a dealbreaker for me. Whats your experience with that? Thank you so much for an answer, that really would help me . Best, Michael
Thank you for your nice comment Michael! Yes indeed - I forgot the quick shifter 😉 an absolut must have on this bike. I can fully relate to the back pain issue - I have had my fair share of back pain to the point where I am completly out of order. The last time was in June of this year - always my biggest fear when going on a long tour. Now everyone's isse with their back can be quite different but this is what works for me: I ride standing up A LOT when on long tours - I find that beeing too static on the bike is the worst for my back. Everytime I cruise through a small town I make sure I get out of the seat. On the Autobahn I use the construction zones (slower speed) to ride standing up. Of course a nice speed run up a mountain pass works well too when you have move around on the bike 😜 Now with that beeing said - the Super Adventure (like most adventure bikes) are designed to be ridden standing up for a long time. So unlike on your Super Duke R ridding in the standing position is actually very comfortable. As for the supension - this is much less of an issue for me than "keeping active" on the bike - I ride in the stiffes sport mode setting for 90% of the time. As for the heat from the engine - yes, there is some at 35°C - nothing compared to my old air-cooled Harley Davidson 😂 During our August tour we had 35°C weather quite a lot - the engine heat was not really the issue - I was just hot from all the gear I was wearing - once you get moving it fixed both issue - engine heat and you get a nice breeze to stay cooler. My humble advice: GO FOR IT! This is too good of a hobby to just give it up like that. Worst case is that it does not pan out and then you can always sell the bike again. I hope this helps - cheers!
MotoVibes That’s very helpful, thanks a lot! Was thinking about the new Africa Twin because of the superb suspension, but during the test drive I really missed the best motorcycle engine, the KTM 1290... / LC8
These are the mods for the newer "R" model (it comes with the spoked wheels) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QWCnTq1H-2A.htmlsi=1PrsxV4QSjO68Q_l
Del K I kinda liked the 2 pieces. Sometimes I just need to remove the pillion seat only to refill the chain oil etc. just more convenient this way. But really no other good reason 😂
Thank you Mauricio - nice to have viewers from Mexico - very cool! 😎 The helmet is a Touratech Aventuro Carbon 1.0 without the enduro style sun visor. I planning a video on the helmet soon
I followed your link for the SW-Motech EVO Fog Light kit, but I couldn't find the mount kit you used. Who/what/where is that awesome light mount? BTW, love your vids!
William Schwab glad you found them. One of the few sites that have multiple languages. I saw that they where out of stock at the moment. Hope you can buy them directly from SW Motech
Hi. Thanks for all the good tips. Just bought a -20 and moved over gps from my old bmw. Have plugged in plus and minus but I do not get the buttons on the Cradle to work just the gps. How did you do it? Best reg.
I only have power connected to the cradle like you. If your GPS gets power the issue is with the cradle. I am sure you cleaned the contact points already. If the cradle is brand new I would return it.
I talk a bit about the wobbling issue in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hjV0RimLBzg.html in short 200 km/h works almost all the time - clothing, wind & other traffice matter more than the windshield - in good conditions contant travel speed of 230 km/h are possible
Somehow water got into the left LED light - it still work fine - it started with fogging up (the moisture build up on the inside) - now there is visible water inside the light which does not drain. I may try to remove the front glass and try to get the water out. Maybe the front glass does not seal properly
@@MotoVibes I believe AM products have extensive warranty (2 years or more). Even if slightly out of warranty, they might cover your claim, you are a "high visibility" customer :).

Hi. Welchen Handyhalter fürs Motorrad kannst Du empfehlen? Wie sind so deine erfahrungen auf langlebigkeit der Kamera im Handy. Viele schreiben das es durch Vibrationen schnell kaputtgeht.
Ist ja lustig - hab gerade dazu ein Video gedreht - dauert aber noch bis es online ist. Ich hab immer noch den Touratech i-Bracket Handy Halter und bis her keine Probleme mit Vibrationen gehabt mit meinem IPhone. Ich hab das Handy fast immer in der Halterung auch bei den Offroad Passagen. Ich habe jetzt seit über 5 Jahren immer mein Handy am Bike (alles Iphones verschiedener Generationen) bisher hatte ich keine Probleme - das heißt natürlich nicht, dass nicht irgendwann mal was passiert ;-) Einige Handyhalter wie der Touratech haben ein bisschen was an Vibrationsdämpfung verbaut - das sollte also helfen. Aber selbst diese hab ich bei mir entfernt damit ich das Telefon drahtlos aufladen kann.

Kannst du sagen, wie du die SW Motech Nebelscheinwerfer verkabelt hast? Ich stehe am WE vor der Aufgabe... wo greift man am besten den geschalteten Plus Pol ab? Hinter der Lichtmaske? Hast du die Scheinwerfer direkt auf der Batterie aufgelegt? Muss für die Verkabelung der Tank runter? VG! JP
Ich habe die Power direkt von der Batterie - es liegt Relais dabei welches ich auf Steuerplus geschaltet habe - war mir sicherer so. Steuerplus gibt es hinter der Lampenmaske. Ich musste die Lampe ausbauen um ran zu kommen - ich weiß aber von einigen, die es ohne Ausbau geschafft haben an die Kabel zu kommen. Den Tank musste ich nicht abbauen - Du kannst mit einem Schweißdraht (ich habe Plastik"drähte" für eine 3D Drucker verwendet) ein Kabel hindurchziehen an dem Du dann das Stromkabel befestigst und durch ziehst. Die Kabel sind insgesamt recht lang aber ich konnte sie recht gut direkt hinter dem Lenkkopflager verstauen (d.h. reinstopfen ;-) ). Sauberer ist es den Tank abzunehmen - ist auch nicht wirklich ein riesen Thema - beim nächsten Mal würde ich das so machen. Gutes Gelingen!
robato28 we are about the same height then. The Givi screen does a much better job than the stock screen but everyone’s comfort level is different. I also wear ear plugs when I ride which helps with the noise. I have used a PUIG racing screen this season - I put it on mainly for my Offroad riding but I will keep it mounted for my upcoming trip to the West Alpes - I Wonder how well it will do for extended Autobahn riding. I still have my Mitas knobbies mounted so max speed is 190 km/h anyway. Shorter distances of 150 km on smaller roads up to 120 km/h were fine with the smaller screen. It sure looks nicer than a tall touring screen 😎
Hi! is it the 2020 model, or the 2021 model in this video? I'm looking for a solid gps mount, but the cnc aluminium is only for 2021 and newer. I'm riding a 2020 1290 SAR.
@@MotoVibes I mailed the guy/company (cnc part) and he told me it doesnt fit on the 2020 :( I'm looking for a great way to mount a gps above my dash ... The Touratech doesnt fit either according to the company.
@@marcelzuidwijk i just checked on the SCHAAL website. That surprises me as I bought mine for the 2017-2020 models and it fits the 2021-2023 with no problem- the spacing for the wind shield mount (this is what counts) is the same. So if has not changed the design of the GPS mount it should fit. But he is the guy making it so he has to know best I guess
all I would want is a bigger windscreen! s model windscreen takes a hard noise in the helmet! I'm 180 cm but I have not found better wind protection, and that's why I ktm; the disappointed !!!
I put the Puig touring screen on mine. Works well for me. I'm 6'3" tall. Only thing the sucks is when you get to 120 mph the front end starts to feel like it's wobbly. Other than that it's good.
The Puig is a bit taller and slimmer as compared to the Givi - both offer much better coverage than the stock windscreen. Unfortunately it is one of those things that you cannot test before buying so I went through the trial and error and ended up with the Givi. I gave the Puig to Thomas who is very tall but the Puig windscreen did not work for him - we ended up cutting it down to race screen size during our trip in May - you can see at at the end of this vlog ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fuMvYPP8AJo.html
@@MotoVibes I did notice with the stock windscreen I did 140mph the bike was smooth and felt planted. With the puiq when I get up to 120mph the front end wobbles. Maybe that is what you experienced when you hit 200kph with the givi. Or where you using the race screen at that time?
@@bikeryder757 The high speed wobble has many different factors that make it worse - the windscreen certainly plays a role and rather increases the effect. However, I think the bike's setting should be robust enough to keep the bike planted - especially since large ADV bikes from other manufacturers do not seem to have the same issue with high speed wobble.
Die Givi is deutlich breiter und etwas höher und sieht sogar halbwegs vernünftig aus an der SAS. Für mich taugt die hervorragend. Ich weiß nicht wie viele Leute mit der originalen Sitzbank rumfahren - aber für längere Strecken ist das nichts für mich. War hier natürlich von der BMW R1200 GS verwöhnt die von Hause aus eine deutlich komfortablere Sitzbank hat. Die PP Sitzbank ist top für mich - würde ich mir sofort wieder kaufen.
@@MotoVibes welche Sitzbank hast du denn? Die zwei geteilte oder die durchgehende. Die durchgehende habe ich am Sonntag mal ausprobiert. Ist etwas angenehmer als das Original. Was für ne Helm cam kannst du empfehlen. Deine Filme sind sehr gut. Sehr abwechslungsreich und das Tempo ist auch eher so wie ich gerne fahre.
@@manuelruiz5619 Helmcam ist ein schwieriges Thema - als die Sony raus kam (ist schon über 3 Jahre her) war die das beste was es gab auf dem Markt - mittlerweile ist die Bildqualität der Hero 7 ein gutes Stück besser und auch die Bildstabilisierung funktioniert nun besser als bei der Sony. Die Sony hat halt noch den Vorteil , dass der Formfaktor besser für die seitlichen Montage am Helm geeignet ist - die Kamera trägt deutlich weniger auf als das mit einer GoPro ginge. Der 2. Grund ist der 3,5 mm Klinke Eingang fürs externe Mic. und 3. hält der Akku nicht nur deutlich länger als bei der Hero - er lässt sich auch ohne das ich Helm oder Cam abnehme in wenigen Sekunden wechseln - bei der Hero7 ist das immer ein super Gefummel. Ich hoffe ja das Sony doch noch mal ein Nachfolger raus bringt - mal sehen ;-)
You ride a small part without hands when you replace the cam from right to left hand. Did you don't get the wobble.? Did you had a wobble on the bike. When you ride without hands?
Viktor Steinfelder Hi Viktor. The wobble on this bike is something I experience with speeds above 200-220 km/h. You take the hands of the handlebar at normal cruising sped. I hope that helps
Viktor Steinfelder ok. I know what you mean. It’s only at certain speeds and road conditions i guess. I have had that too but not very often and only if I take both hands of the handlebars
Viktor Steinfelder that’s a good point to start. Could explain why I only experienced this sporadically. Maybe I already had a different set of tires on. I will keep my eyes open next time I ride. The bike is still fitted with the Mitas knobby tires
The bike has a USB output - enough to keep the charge while GPS is running but not for fast charging the phone. You need a separate power plug or 12. V Adapter
@@Jason-rm9sw just plugged it in the USB outlet and ran the wireless charger to the phone mount ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gOu7QBYTDhY.html
Das Givi Windschild ist leiser als das Original bei mir - bin 180 cm groß. Nicht um Welten leiser aber leiser - die gesamte Umströmung ist bei Givi angenehmer und die Abdeckung ist besser. Ich trage aber fast immer zusätzlich Gehörschutz
Hi, I’m asking about the Touratech phone mount. I have an IPhone XR with a Rhinoshield ModNX Case. With the case it’s between 1.2 and 1.3cm thick. Can you tell me it the phone fits inside the mount with the case. Thanks in advance
@MotoVibes I've found one with a bit better coverage from "cacko_garage_shop" from Poland (ebay name) purchased one for my 1190 last year and was pretty impressed. will probably try one on my new 1290. check it out. Love your content and professionalism 👍
@@topshelf6623 thank you for the kind words 😉 I am not familiar with the product you mentioned but it’s good to know there is some choice now. When I bought mine only Givi and Puig had tall tinted touring screens- let me know how you like it on the 1290
Very useful video. I ordered most of the items suggested. Can you please help regarding the ibracket handlebar mount as I could not find it on touratech website. Thank you.
@@MotoVibes Thank you for coming back to me on this. I bought everything online including the ibracket but searching for a mount for the ibraket and nothing comes up. Will email my local KTM guys tomorrow.
Dan ok sorry. I misunderstood. I am using a SW Motech mount to extend the I-bracket closer to the display so I can still see the phone when the tank bag is mounted ( only works with a small tank bag) this is what it looks like m.louis-moto.co.uk/artikel/sw-motech-nonshock-navigation-mounting/10001550
I like the GIVI better because it is a bit wider and not as tall. I have a small racing screen from Puig that I like - it has been mounted for the past year now
Well - the crash bars actually did a good job during the crash. The damage would have been a lot worse without them. The crash bars will bend first before bending the frame.
@@nikko7362 sorry to hear that - I hope you did not get hurt too bad - my buddy Thomas crashed on his 1190 R on the same trip - he did bend the crash bars a little bit but the frame was OK.
Sollte ich mich nächstes Jahr für 'ne 1290er SAS entscheiden, werde ich mir das Video nochmal reinziehen. Sind auf jeden Fall sehr hilfreiche Tipps dabei. Das Windschild könnte ein leidiger Dauerbrenner werden, weswegen ich mir überlege, dann evtl. eher auf eine sehr niedrige Version zu wechseln - dann liegt der Wind schon am Oberkörper an und kommt gar nicht mehr so heftig zum Helm hoch. Bin ich von meinem Naked Bike auch gewöhnt. Mal sehen.
Vielen Dank! Ich werde wohl nächste Jahr auch mal ein niedriges probieren - lässt sich ja schnell tauschen. Auf jeden Fall für die Offroad Sachen - mal sehen wie es dann auf der Straße ist. Ab einer gewissen Körpergröße funktionieren für die meisten selbst ganz Hohe Windschilder für viele nicht mehr. Thomas mit dem ich viele Touren gemacht habe (hat die KTM 1190 Adventure R in den Videos) ist weit über 2 m groß - da geht dann nur noch ein kleines. Auf der Schwarzwaldtour hat er mein alten Puig getestet aber das ging überhaupt nicht - wir haben es dann in DIY Manier auf Racinggröße gesägt 😂 ist zum Ende des Videos zu sehen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fuMvYPP8AJo.html
@@MotoVibes Ich kann mich an die "Kürzung" mit dem Hilfsbier noch gut erinnern. Ich bin halt 188 cm und habe zudem noch einen etwas längeren Oberkörper und dafür sind dann die Haxen kürzer. Und durch meinen fetten Hintern sitz' ich dann noch ein paar Zentimeter höher. Da wird's mit den höheren Windschildern immer laut.
@@MotoVibes Früher bei meinen Shoei-Helmen waren eigentlich keine Ohrstöpsel erforderlich. Seit ein paar Jahren habe ich einen ja ach so leisen Schuberth auf der Denkmurmel und da benutze ich zumindest bei etwas längeren Fahrten auch Stöpsel. Wobei ich sagen muss, dass ich meistens nur 'ne 2 -3 Stunden Feierabendrunde fast ausschließlich auf Landstraßen drehe, und da ist das Thema nicht ganz so im Vordergrund.
@@dermaschinist2596 Für ganz kurze Runden oder langsamere Fahrten geht es sicher auch ohne - ich bin ja nicht so oft unterwegs nur wenn dann ist es normalerweise gleich der ganze Tag ;-)
Pmason718 it is just a power connection from the cradle to the Switched Power from the KTM - behind the headlight. Getting to the wires was the biggest deal. The rest was easy
MotoVibes I know the KTMs in and out but from your video I felt like you made it sound like it’s plug n play. You had to splice the wires correct and remove the connector off the cradle? One you got power to the cradle we’re you able to use the KTMs handle bar controls to control the GPS?
Have you ride the new 2021 KTM 1290s ? I m a BMW 1250 rider looking for achnage an dlil the look of the new KTM yesterday i rode the the V4s Multi tomorrow i ride the KTM
I have not ridden either the new KTM nor the new Mulitstrada V4S - I hope I will get to try both of these bikes soon - I am very curious how these new bikes compare to my current KTM 1290 SAS
@@MotoVibes Hi well Ive rode the Ducati v4s and the new GS R1250 which ive owned this week, Yesterday I rode the KTM 1290s 2021 and the new KTM 2021 890.Myself and my best pal Mick the Saw rode probably 90 miles on each the bikes. So first the 890 wow! I'm getting older and in the next few years that will be my bike was a lot of fun from 105hp parallel twin agile nimble and fast as fcuk! the 21' front wheel felt like a 19" to me. Mick Liked it too. Moving but never turned me to want to buy one. onto my 5penneth re new 1290 s Ive never really been a KTM fan rode a few and i never got the feel to want to buy one. I personally feel like this Ducati v4s has derived from a sports-bike riders background to a ADV bike and therefor it is a very sporty feel and ride but for me it has to many downsides for what i like from ADV bikes. So that's out then the Beemer well its like good old pair of slippers cant go wrong but build quality i going south weight is gaining and I'm personally a little bored with them there are the most comfy ADV bike for sure and you can wring the 1250s neck and it will make you smile but after 11 GS GSA's on the bounce I'm ready for a probably daft change! The 1290 we rode was with full tech pack e.g. quick shift and all the bells and whistles. Trouble was as we got onto the bikes we soon found out the dealer had not enabled any of the tech packs !!! Very reckon annoying they say its done after first service ? So we carried on like you do the first thing a BMW rider like me will notice i the bars are a little narrower and the front to you arms is shorter, but not in a bad way i felt th amid pegs were to high for my 29" legs I'm 6feet 1 inch tall fat and recovering a leg industry so it was important to feel good on the bike. We stoped and took the seat off whilst feeling up which on turning into the forecourt i felt the bike was far more agile on slow turn than the BMW anyway the seat is a bit crap how it works on two round pin hangers but i guess when you have set the front seat its on ok and works good. WE took the opportunity to look round under the seat and there was few wires etc with spade connectors :-( bit cheap but the chassis was good chromium molybdenum steel powder coated and was real nice.The subframe is alloy and also powder coated.Under the passenger seat there is plenty of room for stuff sack waterproofs etc or a PMR radio etc.Continuing on with our ride we went a blast round some B rounds A roads back lanes and the V Twin was grand 138nm and 160bh whats not to like :-) The big difference for me over the Ducati v4s is that although if you want to flick into sports mode and gas it which it enjoys you can also ride it chilled and nosey over the countryside hedgerows etc where for me the v4 Duke was unable to do that without you having to work hard with your mindset and wrists and gear control tried sorts mode and street modes messed with the thousands f suspension settings but the one i wanted to try was not turned on anti dive! the seat after adjustment made the pegs far better for me and i was happy with the riding position you have to open you legs a little wider she says... to accommodate the wider tank but again you get used to it very quickly. Now the TFT i great its 7" when you move it down into your eye line you can work with it easy I'm dyslectic but liked the pictures and the screen is way more less cluttered than the MS V4s.The Windscreen is easy to move up and down I thought there was more air around my mid head area but nothing to worry about even at warp speeds! The gearbox and clutch were both good and my dicky leg was working good would have been better with quick shift like I'm used too but we had to be old school. After swapping bikes I wanted to try the bike on slow moves its very agile for sure i pushed it around on a car park to see how it would feel in that situation and it every good also when you put it on the main stand its the easiest bike ever! I struggled to work out how to have the halo headlight on and the main beam maybe it was operator error. Re Brakes i don't think it see maybe the bikes are both to new but the M50 on the Ducati was very poor imho and too was the KTM Brembo rear brake was like GS crap and no feel the front brakes we good but you had to pull a lot of air before nay brake bite came, unlike the HAYES on the 1250 which I personally like a lot.When you think new bikes and brakes will come to you? Why then was the 890 back brake fantastic! as was the front.That bike had no mile son it was straight out of the box! Who knows? Re switchgear the only thing we struggled with was the indicators when you turn they should self cancel after 10 flashes ? but if you try and cancel them it's hard as the turn knob has to be pressed a certain way but again guess its something you get used to. The plastics in some area are better than the BMW and in some are the same the rear grab rails are made from some ABS style plastic same as the Austrian Glock pistols use.The rear foot peg hangers can be removed easy if like myself you don't carry pillions.The rear end Mmm is very tidy unlike the whale of a Ducati v4 the overall ugliness of th eKTM has sort of grown on me. I like its agility it's far more nimble than the Beemer and little less engine braking than the v4s which trust me has more than a GS! The tyres what KTM have shod which no feckers ever here'd off were great after a good spirited ride they were hot and sticky don't know about wet! but the profile and feel of the tyre was good .Regarding th told problem of hot bools and legs on the 1290 the new split rads and re worked venting did seem to work it was not a hot day 12c at best I could only feel a tad of warmth on my left leg but again don't think you would worry about it.Another point as I've not had a chain driven bike for over 10 years again the Ducati was easy to get chain slap and some strange noises maybe the demo bike needed adjustment but it was rather strange particularly at lower speeds, where as the KTM never gave me or Mick that slap judder knock bush bosh bash sound. In fact we rode it at a junction setting off in 3rd and 4th gear no probs we rolled the KTM in different gears and it only chugged in 6th gear one time. The KTM is more loose than the BMW and for sure not as refined but I had a smile on my face twist the throttle and its a new adventure and the whole ride can offer little more character and you will need a little more of you riding skills to enjoy it in full. My verdict is that I will be buying one and after specking it up with the AKRA top box tech pack some cnc bits front spots etc its around the £19.5k mark it may be a mistake it may be the best change iv done but you only live once so I'm having change and see how it go's. I may need hellion how to deal with chain and lubes etc ...... Bottom Line you pay your money and make your choice ...
Derek - thank you for sharing your experienced with all these bikes with us. I can very much relate to everything you have experienced and said - you should be doing bike reviews mate! ;-) The Beemer beeing an old comfy pair of slippers - absolutely nailed it. As for the 890 - I should be riding one next week in offroad conditions - this will be the first time on the 790/890 mid class KTM for me. I am curious what all the rave is about - I am sure it will be great for offroad riding but then I also do a lot of onroad / fast riding / long distance travel that is why the 1290 will suit me better for now. I also totally agree with your assessment on brakes. I experienced the BMW brakes on the XR model and they are superior to my KTM 1290 SAS brakes in every respect. As for the 1290 SAS: The stock seat on mine is crap - changed it immediately to the powerparts touring seat - much better long distance comfort ( I have not ridden the new one but test sat on one - it is still too hard for me). As for the chain lube issue - also something I had to deal with after being spoiled with a shaft drive / belt drive before. An automatic chain oiler will take a good part of regular maintenance to an acceptable level (one of my recent videos is on the CLS chain oiler if you are interested) OR you try Regina's new maintenance free chain (Regina HPE) - no lubrication or re-tensioning - at least that is what they promise. BMW offers theses chains as optional add-on since last year - now you can buy them for other motorcycles. I just bought one - it is sitting here ready to get installed. I am curious if that actually will be maintenance free as promised. Would be a dream come true. Chain alone cost me 265,- Euros - so 165,- more than a good quality 525 chain. Like the attitude - you only live once - see if you like the adventure beast - if not you can always sell it and trade it in for a an old pair of slippers ;-)
@@MotoVibes great I’m sure the 890 will perform for you. Could I ask a favour can you email me the link for the cnc sat nav bracket you bought in Germany 🇩🇪 derekcumbers@btinternet.com also,there seems to be a issue with the KTM new seats as they have removed them from the configurator they are slipping back to low setting and not staying in the high position. I said the seat adjuster was shit.
Folks, after few weeks of test (see my last comment on this video) i definitely kept the GIVI 7706S windshield. For reminder, i'm 1,9m tall, and the seat at the upper position. On the lower shield position, i have some air on the top of my helmet, and a little bit on my shoulders but nothing really inconvenient. On the upper position, no more air in the helmet. Furthermore my vision is not annoyed. The only inconvenient i would say about this screen : it's smoked. I would prefer to have it clear. Anyway this screen does not put out shape so much the motorbike. Compare to the 7706ST : full protected but my vision is annoyed even at the lower position. And the motorbike design is really ugly. To finish, i modified an old KTM's gps support to high a little bit my Garmin Zumo 340. With the OE support, the motorbike screen is a litlle bit obstruct by the gps... and i don't like that ! :). I have to improve it a little bit because there is few remaining vibration. But not as much as the OE. Feel free to contact me (jujudeg2@aol.com) if you some photos about the different screens (with myself behind lol) or about the "my" gps support. It will be a pleasure to share. So, now i'm looking for black luggage on it (already have the Givi V47NN Tech top case, i painted its support (SRA7703) in black to respect the overall color of my dear moto
Julien - thank you very much for sharing your experience! This will be very helpful for taller riders! On a side note: I just installed a short racing screen by Puig - it is definitly not as protective as the Givi and I would not using for touring - the small screen will be part of my offroad setup of the 1290 SAS - the offroad wheels will be installed again soon - Ride Safe!
Thx for this advice, i just got my 1290 delivered this week and i sure love it. Only the noise on the highway, its awfull, riding on my vitpilen 701 was more raw but less exhausting. And thx for this channel, really my favorite, one of the reasons i thought yes lets by that bike (you always need just a tiny excuse for those things and u are it).
