The PDI they charge you/me includes checking and opening the dam thing. I bought my 1290S here in Canada. Paid 500 bucks for PDI and the right side was closed! Thanks to you, watching your content ran into this issue. Having not know about it, I would be stranded in middle of nowhere.

@RicardoYeep 24 дня назад

Hello mate and thank you for the message! Also good to hear the clip helped you out. I’m with you on what you say 100%. I learnt the hard way 🤣👍

@TushalBhadang 3 года назад

Hi Ric! I had exactly the same petcock issue - engine died on the motorway while I was doing 100 kph! Luckily I was able to drag it to the nearest fuel station and fill 'er up. BUT the penny dropped about the petcock when only 12.X litres of fuel went in - which then got me to look at the petcock and I found that one was half open and the other was fully closed. The fuel level sensor is on the left side of the tank (when in the rider's seat). So the tank always showed full! This happened with my first proper ride after taking her home from the dealer - so before I could finish the first 300 kms. I did mention this issue to the dealer and identified it as a PDI oversight. Since this 'issue' the bike has spent 10 days at the dealer getting a faulty regulator-rectifier replaced - but she is back home and all is fine.

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hiya Tushal. Oh so not just me then. Yes Bruce on here and others said also the same. Poor PDI checks.... But I cannot prove it so no point in moaning to dealer now I guess. Sorry to hear about the Reg/rec!! Already??! thats so bloody annoying. Fingers crossed I have not had any genuine faults so far.. !! Glad you got the beast back though! I am still monitoring my fuel and guage for the time being until I get trust :)

@hungwasson1399 2 года назад

Tushal, was there any warning about the regulator/rectifier failure? Or were you left stranded somewhere?

@Shifter_83 3 года назад

To adjust the petcocks it is not needed to remove plastic covers. I know the manual says so, but it is fairly easy to reach them underneath these covers and operate them. It saves some time which is beer drinkable ;)

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hi Plamen!! Thanks for the tip ! I’ll remember that one as will be handy now I have the engine bars on. Removing the engine bars every time to take all the panels off is a tight pia 👍

@AliBilek806 3 года назад

what a consequence, I got stuck on the highway, 210 kilometers away and alone on August 16th. I guess it was some sort of the same problem but a few times I did also got a red fuel pump warning on my dashboard and was able to run the bike a few more times. The fuel gauge exactly displayed the same amount of petrol as it looks in your video but I was able to run my bike a few more kilometers to ride out from the highway. Next day early in the morning I towed my bike on a truck to my dealer. They drained my tank for about 15 minutes and changed the fuel pump with a brand new one. then with a happy face on me just before start to ride home I startup the bike and see that there was a petrol leakage. Then my bike went back to the lift inside the dealer shop. I was told the new fuel pump has some problems so they mixed my old fuel pump parts with the brand new one and after almost 8 hours I got my bike back. I happily start it up and just in 2 minutes I got a red empty fuel tank warning on my dash while riding. So I turn back to my dealer asked if they put back the petrol that they have drained in the morning and they said yes all has been put back in my tank and told that warning may be seen because that they have drained all my fuel tank and asked me to drive to the nearest petrol station and fill it up to correct it. I was so surprised at the petrol station when the fuel pomp shows me that I got 21.26 liters of petrol in my tank. So I did ride back again and talk with my dealer that there could have been a confusion and they forgot or put back my petrol to another bike by mistaken. I am not sure what all happened exactly, whatewer but tomorrow morning I will check my gas tank taps and will never trust the fuel gauge again. Thank to share

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hi Ali thanks for the helpful comment and informstion! Very interesting as seems to be a more common theme as I hear from different people. I never got the fuel pump warning though. Just died on me. WOW sounds like you have had a series of unfortunate events. That would really peeve me off big time. Sounds like your dealer need to pay more attention on service. They cannot have put your fuel back if you already low!. Thanks for sharing your experience. Much appreciated! Thanks Ric

@DaveDayve 3 года назад

Exactly the same happened to me. Dealer had failed to open the exact same side tank valve. As the fuel pump is on one side and the float is on the other, your fuel range and level will remain the same and the other side of the tank will empty. 2018 adventure S. What a great machine. Though mine was riddled with quality and reliability issues. Sadly

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hiya Dave! Yeah I hear that a lot haha! I mean... A LOT about the taps being shut on one side. Quite shocking really something so simple yet can damage the image of the brand. Sorry to hear your poor experience!

@JMeyer-qj1pv 3 года назад

Yup, happened to me too on my 2014 KTM 1190. Some design flaws live forever! Had the bike in for the big valve adjustment service, and they forgot to open that valve. Bike suddenly died a few days later when I was close to home. I figured the dealer had broken something during the service and didn't even think about fuel since the gauge showed lots of fuel left. Called my son and we pushed the bike home a half mile! Then I thought it was strange the bike showed no errors but just wouldn't run so I checked the tank to see it was empty on one side. A few turns of the valve and she was running fine again.

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

What a bugger huh!!! Little things like this oversight just ps me right off! 🤦‍♂️

@russellpeterson7548 Год назад

I have a new 2023... both petcocks were off. I believe this means only the gas in the left side is used as the petcocks connect to each other to "balance the fuel tanks". The fuel level sensor appears to be on the right side... Seems to be a common issue on new bikes. I just happened to discover it because I removed the tank to run some lighting wires.

@RicardoYeep Год назад

Hiya Russell.. Sorry to hear that. I agree seems a very common oversight during the PDI checks at dealers. It causes so much aggro if not found before breaking down. Glad you spotted it mate. All the best Ric

I'm currently in peru after the pandemic hit i thought i would buy myself a adventure bike. So i thought i'd get myself the ktm 990 adventure 30th edition. Got myself a really nice one was riding on the panamerican highway and boom just cut out on me like this ! Poop 💩 !! The right side fuel tank had lots of fuel so what the hell and I found the stopcocks at the bottom of the front the right side was closed ! Opened it up yay !!! Back up and running 😁

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hey Stefan! That does sound like an excellent adventure! Very jealous! Luck you manage to find the problem then while out on the road. Its definitely a poor fail down to something so stupid and should not have been overlooked at the dealer. Glad you got running again without too much hassle!

@Columbus666 3 года назад

This problem comes up often on Facebook with this new Super Adventure 2021. It's at the dealership :/ they don't check the bike... so the problem come directly in factory ? Probably... An other problem is know : the system inside the tank does not rise as it becomes porous over time. (on the old version of SA) and doesn't indicate the correct fuel. Sorry for your mishaps, i love this bike (i have an SAS of 2019) 8 000km, no problem (i hope !) It's the better bike i have never ride. All this little thing are nothing ;) (and all other compagny have their trouble) V !

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hello Alexandre! Thanks for the comment and watching the vid! Yes I agree completely this does sound like poor dealer pre delivery checks. The bike has not failed me yet and all is faultless so far. I am very happy with it! Best all round bike I have had. It is still too early to talk about reliability but lets see. And yes I am aware other brands also have their issues I have had mainly Triumphs all my life so I know very well about issues haha. Thanks again for the reassurance! It is a bike with a lot of fun to give. I am happy to pay for the odd inconvenient spot. Cheers Ric

@dimosk7389 3 года назад

yeah, those taps can cause trouble. i always double check them everytime i service my bike. but a side effect is that, they are very helpful when you are on a ride in the mountains, and a friend with a smaller (or more thirsty) bike runs out of fuel. you can remove the hose that connects the 2 taps, and transfer him some of your fuel without the need of any tool, except for a small bottle with which you transfer the fuel.

@scottdoncom1169 11 месяцев назад

Hi Rick.... Exactly the same thing has just happened to me. I was recovered from a dangerous position by the AA. Bike got dropped off at the dealer. They went straight to the tap and put the Tie rap underneath it. Think the big twin shakes the tap shut... Also have had issues with the transponder having to be replaced..luckily under warranty. It's a shame as the bike is awesome..when it's running..

@RicardoYeep 11 месяцев назад

Hiya Scott.. Sad but true mate.. It happens quite often. However it is due to the "dealer" not carrying out the PDI (pre delivery inspection) correctly and ensuring both taps are open. It is physically not possible for the bike to close them off on their own.. This goes agains gravity also haha.. To close them you need to screw them in (upwards). They come from the factory closed.. The tech who pdi your bike must have thought of only one to unscrew... This catches a lot of dealer technicians out. They need to unscrew one either side. I only added the tie wraps to ensure non of my mates take the piss and try and close them off when out riding together. And to ensure any tech working on my bike needs to put themn back if the remove them (as a reminder to bloody open both taps before ending the job). :)

@elfutfoundation 3 года назад

I trust LC8 engines but I do not trust their fuel pump. Had issues this year with engine cutting out in the middle…luckily I bought an extra fuel pump for storage just in case. And sure enough my 2018 KTM Adventure R fuel pump died at 28,xxx KM after owning it for 4 years. Thought it was something electrical or battery and my bike will not start for a good 3 weeks diagnosing why it will not start and my last resort was to replace the fuel pump and it started right away. Have been using mostly non ethanol gas from Shell Supreme gas and bike never empty.

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hello mate! Thanks for the insight and sharing your experience. Yes I’ve heard a lot about past reliability issues KTM fuel pumps have had. I’m hoping this nee model with I’m hoping more modern improved manufacturing processes 🤞 will be better. However here in uk there is no escaping ethanol in fuel. The bike states it’s compatible so let’s see if over long term it has any Impact. Cheers Ric

Hi there Fuat! Yeah mate I was a little peed off at the time. but at the end of the day the bike didn't let me down. It was a human error so I am led to believe. trust me my mate on the GS I have some ammo... for a start it spends more time parked up in the garage than used (Hope he is reading this). Oh and he's a step relation on my wife's side (so not just a mate as such haha). I have already banned him on here twice for his wind up comments...

I told him don't you find that weird after all this milage your still full. He was sold on the efficiency of the bike. I told him to start his bike and watch his fuel gauge. I unscrewed his right side petcock and his eyes opened wide wondering wtf is happening. I told him to always check his petcocks when you leave your bike alone as random people will close them to piss you off.

@TushalBhadang 3 года назад

When you fill up the tank to full, there will be 1 bar showing empty, but in about 1-2 km of riding, that should be resolved and all bars should show full. That is normal for most bikes, takes about that much time for the sensor to detect the true fuel level. I have that behaviour on my current Triumph Street Triple and also seen that on a demo bike Tiger 900 GT, as well as my past bikes - though NEVER on any of the Japanese bikes I've owned.

I thought the 2021 was the first for this on the 1290. You definitely wont get very far with both shut off lol..... As for the one being shut off like mine. The left one was a full tank and is the side that has the fuel sender on.. So the bike thought it always had full tank. By locking off the left the fuel would remain showing as full. But the right tank would eventually deplete causing the bike to break down.. (but still show a full tank of fuel or kind of..) Cheers Ric

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Ha nice toy! I have reverted to the tiger 800XC for that. I would use the 1290 but every bike I have owned I have ran it to the ground in just 3/4 years as I average usually 20-24k miles a year. I am not doing this on the 1290. But for sure is always good to have two bikes.. That 390 would be fun too on a weekend in the lanes!

Maybe the dealer when it was serviced. I always get them to do the 1000k one then I do the rest as I trust no one. By the way, my 2019 says15000k between services, however I would never let it go that long, 10000 between services is lo g enough for me..

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

They swear they never touched it. However I think from hearing from others that's the problem. PDI checks they most have only opened one tap.... Its a common occurrence apparently

Your looking at getting about 400km from a full tank approximately. 17.km - 17.5km/litre roughly

Hiya Steve - That may well be true but thankfully mine has not has any "genuine" issue yet. This is most likely an oversight by poor PDI process. Both taps needed to have been unwound. Clearly mine was not. I cant blame the bike for that one. But its still early days for sure :) I am hoping i dont have the "ktm" experience as you say lol. Cheers Ric

@Captndarty 3 года назад

Don’t ever ever ever ever ever ever trust your fuel gauge or consumption economy. Only trust your reset trip odometer. These KTMs are horribly horribly inaccurate and unreliable with respect to this even if the petcock issue was human error. My 1190. Gets about 40 miles per gallon. with a 6 gallon tank that’s running dry 240 miles. Just like clockwork yet my economy says 360 miles to go when I fill up. Junk.

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hello mate thanks for the helpful advice! Believe me I am now running off the trip meter and reset each time when I fill up from now on 👍 that’s interesting to hear your thoughts as I have heard similar too. Unfortunately so.. 🙏 Thanks Ric

@matthjas67 3 года назад

My old 1190 used to show KM rather than Miles on the range to empty. Once I knew that then it was fine. Perhaps yours is doing the same?

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

Hi Jason! Thanks for the insight, I'd be pretty miffed if thats the case on the stat eof the art TECH wise bike if it didnt show the guage correctly in miles if your choosing MPH on the speedo.

@RicardoYeep 3 года назад

@@darrennicholls156 funny you ask I carried out a test yesterday. First time since unwind of the left petcock. Filled up to the brim and ran the bike down to 10 miles left on the fuel gauge. I filled up by adding 21.5 litres. With 10 miles left on the fuel gauge and 1 bar. At this point I had already completed 221 miles on my trip meter which I reset before starting the test On said full tank. I was not riding particularly economically either . Touching 3 figures at times and mostly on motorway riding. In short I believe I could get 250 out of a full tank riding very conservatively!!! Which I’m shocked at!! Hope that helps 👍
