Agree with most everything in this video. Hopefully you’ll be able to get the updated ride modes software soon. The MTC will still turn itself back on. But the offroad MTC and offroad ABS work really well. I’ve ridden about 800 miles offroad, and haven’t had a reason to completely turn off MTC. The offroad mode allows plenty of spin, and allows locking up the rear brake at will while keeping ABS on the front wheel.

@markbamburg6858 6 месяцев назад

I just bought a 2020 390 Adventure with around 3k miles on it. It already had multiple upgrades, all the things you disliked :) I took it to KTM world in GA. last week and it was a great ride, perfect on all the trails.

@makmoto0606 6 месяцев назад

Glad to hear you’re happy with it! I bet you saved a lot of money for a great bike.

@RYwoodview 4 месяца назад

Yes! to everything you said. I have the 2023, with the onroad & offroad modes. These do the job in altering ABS & TC behavior, so no need to fuss further with the menu. Learned here that the earlier model has 2 rear DC outputs and the front one. 2023 only has the one on the instrument panel, so that's a downgrade. Otherwise, all good.

@mrredfox5 Год назад

Thanks for the vid. That looks like a great playground where you’re riding the 390. Thanks for the info.

@sdefiel3719 Год назад

Cool vid. I thought that ~'22/'23 KTM updated the software to where the MTC/ABS did not reset. I brought mine in six months ago and there was no change, but I hear others have received the update. I flippin' love this bike. My Himalayan and my Harley EG Limited are seeing less and less action as time goes by. thx, S

@matthewkopf6243 Год назад

Awesome, I’m alway happy to see that this bike does have a strong community who appreciate it. Yeah I might play with one of the bikes at the local dealership to see if I can spot any change to the software, but I’m being to suspect that KTM didn’t give them the same OFF-ROAD mode as the bigger ADV bikes. Thanks for watching!

@Bob-t4o5s 4 месяца назад

agree with your summary!

@guystevens162 Год назад

Nice video. And can agree with what you said too. I wanted the 2022 model but i liked the colour scheme of 2021 orange and white. Had a VFR800 before so i wanted somethimg smaller not as fast and lighter. And i tell you as much as i loved my VFR my KTM puts more smiles on my face. Am based UK also some video uploaded from on it sorry not the best but just not trying to be lol.

@Viajero69 6 месяцев назад

Nice, I currently ride an '09 VFR 800 and am going to add the KTM to my stable so I can get offroad while still being able to enjoy the on road in between bits. I doubt I'll ever give up my VFR though. Love that ride!

@linusdegrell Год назад

I’m just about to buy this model and so looking forward to it! I haven’t ridden for 17 years. Used to have a Honda Hornet 600 then a Kawasaki Z1000, but now want a smaller bike. I was going to go for the BMW G310gs but it seems rather lacklustre compared to the KTM.

@makmoto0606 7 месяцев назад

I think you can't go very wrong with the 390. Very capable and affordable.

@bacbladerunner Год назад

1) Are the handlebars you installed a direct replacement without mods? 2) What is your height, and what improvement did the bars provide? Thanks

@matthewkopf6243 Год назад

1) 1-1/8” bars. So needs a different mount. I believe it’s in the description. 2) I’m 5-10. Unfortunately I went with KTM bend on the bars which doesn’t have much raise. The bar mounts are taller which helped. But I didn’t get much of a gain in overall height. So a bar with more raise and the higher mounts would be better, but I’m happy with it. Hope that helps.

@alanbarrera5594 Год назад

I just bought my Ktm adventure 2022 brand new and the off-road and ABS doesn’t reset when stalling out while riding. Only issue I have is finding the friction zone when going from a complete stop. I’ve had my bike for a week now and seeing that reviving at 3k-4k rpm is best for finding the friction zone . This engine loves running at high rpm .

@jayyhieslifeadventures6207 Год назад

Thanks for the review! I have the same bike but if I may ask, what kind or brand of the Rear tire are you using? Is it your choice for off road? Is still have the TKC original tires on

@makmoto0606 Год назад

Still TKC 70 up front, but I’m seriously looking at changing it. I don’t feel real confident with that tire on the dirt. My Svartpilen has Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires and those feel pretty good off road, so I might put that up front. The back I changed to the Shinko 804 / 805 Big Block Adventure Touring Tires. The stock rear just didn’t have enough off-road traction.

@jayyhieslifeadventures6207 Год назад

@@makmoto0606 just curious why don’t you use the same brand tires front and back?

@matthewkopf6243 Год назад

@@jayyhieslifeadventures6207 the Shinko front tire as far as I’ve seen only comes in tube type for that size, so not really a matching set available. I just wanted more traction on the rear at first, so keeping cost down just changed the rear. The Pirelli is pretty affordable and I’m happy with its performance on and off-road. I’m not concerned about running different tires if they perform in a manner that gives me confidence.

I haven’t rode that but I’d guess the 390 will feel similar power wise with the added weight but with a less aggressive throttle. I think it’s a pretty enjoyable engine just not a torque monster.

I want to lift them back to back in a similar situation, because I almost feel the 390 is easier to lift. Their weights are only like 50lbs apart and I suspect the 390 might carry its weight lower down, with that lower ground clearance.

Love the bike and it’s out-of-the-box features !! However the $7300 MSRP rises to $10,500 with assembly, shipping, tax, docs ! What!! $3000+ over MSRP at the sales end!! … Seamed like a good value at first

@makmoto0606 Год назад

Haha, yeah that seems to be the story at the moment, you pay an extra 20-40% over MSRP for freight, setup, and whatever else the dealer makes up. I talked to a dealer recently for a CRF300L, MSRP 5600$, OTD 8500$. They even boasted about a 500$ 5 year battery warranty. I said I could buy 5 lithium batteries for that! I got my KTM 390 OTD for about 8600$, no markups, not bad. I don’t think the new MSRP is bad considering the wheels, but the markups are insane. At least near me there seem to be quite a few discounts on KTMs right now.

@SheldonKreger Год назад

Are the markups still this bad? I tried to buy a KLX 300R last summer and they wanted $2500 over MSRP after all the fees. Having a really hard time finding a used 390 Adventure, but maybe the dealers are more reasonable this year.

@@SheldonKreger my local dealer has a 1000$ off right now. KTM seems to have some good deals currently. If you don’t mind the 2022 model with cast wheels I’m sure you can get a good deal since a lot of people will be wanting the spoke wheel 2023.
