So this just happened... Nearly taken out by a reckless and unlicensed pickup driver while heading South on Sawmill Lake Road near Kamloops. Scary! I might sell the bike as I cannot control what other idiots do out there.

Just a friendly suggestion. I'm not a motorcycle mechanic. This is not official advice. Modify the placement of your brake line at your own risk :) Also see: Dangerous Brake Line Routing CRF300L by Jake TheGardenSnake. ua-cam.com/video/_4Y9JjEnmt4/v-deo.html

Picking up the KLR / Heavy ADV
Переглядів 7713 роки тому
I love my KLR. My only grievance is the weight. Not fun to pick up. Stay tuned after for a tour of the powerline trails in Telkwa, British Columbia - BEAU-TI-FUL!
This is why you buy Yamaha and not KTM :D :D
@@GoldOreOunce Yep. Now I'm hearing about "cheese cams" prematurely wearing out. Hope mine is not affected.
@@dualsportadventure I am sorry to hear that
Hey Dual Sport Adventure, can I use it on my channel? Credited of course
@@throttletherapy yes
Another 2023 890 adventure with the same issue right here. I guess ill take it apart because who knows how long it'll take to get it fixed.
It happens first to second because that's where neutral is in the gear box in between 1 and 2nd
One cylinder, oil leaks but that's allright
Mine looks like this too. Have you been able to resolve it?
It was under warrenty. My shop replaced the entire headlight unit. The part alone would have cost $1400.00. Crazy! Over engineered and under engineered at the same time. I ride off road quite a bit, so hopefully this doesn't happen again.
@@dualsportadventure I just fixed mine. I took off the entire headlamp and it turns out the adjuster was just rotated out of alignment. If you push too hard in the wrong direction it pops out like that. Honestly a terrible design all around! I wonder if yours was actually broken or could've been fixed like mine. Regardless I think a lot of vibrations or fishing around in there to adjust the headlamp can cause this to occur. I think mine was operator error because I pushed too hard.
That was me today in June 2024... that thing is too big to go in trails and the OEM Dunlop K750 are a joke. I went flying the minute I hit mud. I also hurt my back, lifting it with proper technique. I am getting a 250 lbs dirt bike for that.
I went to a crf300l. Great motor, but suspension way to soft. Now I ride a ktm890 adventure. Easier to pickup than the klr.
That s what you get from something made in CHINA....Get a honda dude
all in all, a fun and nimble motorcycle, but very unreliable
Cf moto😂
Great video, I have the same hike and looking for paniers, I see you got the Shad tr40. Can you provide some feedback on these? Also which side carriers did you buy? Thanks
I do recommend the TR40s. I plan to make a video about them soon. The carrier/rack is also by SHAD specific to the 4p system. A generic rack won't work.
@@dualsportadventure have you considered the 3p racks from Shad? Since they look smaller. I will wait for the video for sure!
If they covered you the second time., they should absolutely reimburse you the $700 for the first time.
They did. Took a fight though, sadly.
The KTM likes.to be ridden aggressively unfortunately the motor pays for it .
I had the shift shaft sensor calibrated. Shifts much better now.
That Husky sounds great!
Nice review! I've done in excess of 20.250 kilometers or 12.500 with mine from early April to October 2023. Never had any issues with the bike not starting correctly. Except when I put on 98 fuel. Morning after I had starting issues. Use 95/E10 fuel and there won't be a problem. The bike is optimized for 95 fuel. Front fork head bearing needs to be re-tightened. I have then check it on service intervals. Same issue with my previous bike (1290 SAS). Did >55.000 kilometers with that bike, front fork bearing was checked on every service. Not had many issues with my 890, a software glitch once at 10k kilometers, which didn't come back. Cruise control doesn't like bike washing. Conks out but comes back after ca 1hr. Cheers.
Sounds like a great reason for me to get something else, too many problems
Regarding the neutral. I unscrewed the shaft and screwed it back in and it just magically works now. No false neutrals
Good to know. Thanks. I just had my shift shaft calibrated and it seems to work better.
The compression motor are 12.7/1 .... suppose to put higher gas , pass to 12.0/1
Hi, thank you for all the information... your dealership looks like and idiot ...you r not lucky.. I hope you have and others one not to far.... I just put a deposit on 790 adv 2024... I suppose to receive in February.... I have for 4 years the gs1200 (2019) . I can't wait to try this lightweight bike... and more Offroad oriented.. I m from Alberta, MH. I hope the gas is good enough here😄
Mine is a 2022 890 Cold starts have to start it three or four times runs on one cylinder cruise control quit antifreeze in the oil all of this at 5,000 miles KTM told me to run it until it gets milky and then they would check It forgot when you shift from 5 th to 6th you have to click it hard are you will get a neutral shift for the price I payed for this bike its really is a joke .
Agreed. Way too many issues for a new bike. It's been around long enough that the bugs aught to be worked out. Try regular fuel, see if that fixes the starting. Worked for me.
My dealer recommended using only 87 too, and I was skeptical but it solved all my cold start issues
It's a high compression engine though. You kind of do want higher octane gas once you get up to temp...
Turn around, dont drown.
This is how the KLR got it's nickname as "the pig". Because it just wallows in mud. I'm glad you had a good time. I try to avoid riding in this on ANY bike. I wanna ride, not wrestle the equipment.
I run premium in my 2023 adv r and have had zero issues starting. Except for once when the battery died. I have heard that lithium batteries have hard time starting this bike when cold. I am using a yuasa because thats what my dealer recommended. The starting on a single cylinder thing is odd though I would ask the dealer to fix that it isnt right.
Great vid! Heading out your way late August next yr from Ottawa area on a 790R for 5-6 wks and will drop down into the US, any must see BDRs? I like the way your panniers lock and attach, was wondering what brand they are? Thanks!
Thanks. The bags are SHAD TR40's.
What mirrors have you got on the bike
They are Double Take mirrors. I like them because they will bend rather than break if you hit something and can be positioned folded in if you want them out of the way.
@@dualsportadventure thanks very much for the reply 👍
If I purchase a motorcycle for $17-$20,000…it should never, ever have to go back to the dealer, with the exception being recall or warranty issue, and the warranty issues in and of itself are one of a handful of reasons to never own a KTM, as much as I like them. It’s crazy to me that guys are okay with constant trips to the dealer, then chalk it up to “hey I’ll just deal with it.”
There were moments of despair to be sure. I hope my troubles are behind me... no, wait, the headlight adjustment mechanism just broke, and KTM hasn't replied to me about this for almost 2 weeks. Maybe deep down we KTM owners like the drama.
Good grief I paid 13,000 for mine.
I also have the same bike, on the first 500 kms i had to torque the triple clamp, if i turn off the bike with the kill switch, after some seconds it gives me error with of invalid key, the dealer will need to change the ignition and new keys, i'm waiting to go there and change, the problem of loosing memory settings for up and down, it´s only if i choose one arrow for ridding modes, and only happens if i ride in Rally mode, after go to settings since when in rally mode we can change, choose another mode, then press the upper arrow again that mode it's empty. Regarding the Pirelli i don't have any problems, i also had a T7 without any problems, but i know people o had, and the dealers of yamaha are changing the tires here in my country. They should have choose the cruise control knob for setting the rally slip, the cold start only had once.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
How necessarily call that a jump, more like a large speed bump. I can tell you right now my gen 1 will definitely handle launching it from that same speed bump. I have hit stuff much bigger and I can assure you it will bottom out and a license plate will get ripped up into the top of the back tire. But it still will ride home
Occasional false neutrals and one cylinder starts for me. Don't need to hold the throttle when it occurs. It will always start 2nd, 3rd time normally. Just let it run for 60 secs and she's ready to go. It's unfortunate, but it's well worth those small issues.
I agree 👍
Cold start secret: turn ignition on, wait for about 5 seconds till you hear Tik sound, then wait 3….4 seconds and fire up
Thank-you. I did try that too.
I had cold start issues, don't switch off using the emergency kill switch, use the ignition key all the time. Problem soon resolved.
I normally use the key to switch off also.
Nice review and riding Chris. I bought the same bike in Mar 23 and have put 4500 miles on it so far, 95% on road. Haven't had the problems you mentioned (shifting into neutral, difficult to start) so I'll count myself lucky. Not crazy about the stock tires and am about to replace them with 80/20 road biased tires since that's where I do nearly all of my riding.
Thank-you.
Sorry to hear you are having starting problems. I rode a 2020 KTM 790R for 4 years and 30,000 km. This summer I traded it in for a 2023 890R and have 11,000 km on it. I have always used Chevron 94 octane and never had starting problems with either bike. On both bikes as soon as I turned the key I could hit the starter and they would start immediately. There are many bikes with starting problems but KTM doesn't seem to be responding very quickly
Curious, what country are you in? I wonder if Europe has different standards. I'm in Canada.
I am in British Columbia north of Vancouver@@dualsportadventure
Interesting the note about high octane fuel.. I always wondered why the adv motor makes so much less power than the 890 duke r motor... I guess they tuned it for 87 and forgot to tell us! I think they won't admit they goofed because it'd be a pr nightmare so they're just forcing dealers to fix 'warranty' issues when it's just a tuning thing.
Very likley.
You need to get the shift shaft sensor reprogrammed to resolve the false neutrals. It’s generally done at the 1st 600 mile (1000 km) service and not a bad idea to have it reprogrammed every once in a while at the recommended service intervals. Take it to your dealer as they need to use their XC2 tool to reprogram it.
Thanks.
@@dualsportadventure I think you'll find that won't solve the issue. But if you do and it does let us know.
Great review and had the same problem with the Scorpion STR Rally on my 23 Adventure S. I increase the air pressure and it helped a little but the bouncing still occurred between 30-40mph. Hopefully it’ll go away after another thousand miles. If not I’ll swap out the front tire.
Thanks. For the money, I'm sticking with the Shinko front for now. Quiet, good performance on street and dirt. Recommend 30psi for a good compromise between on road and off-road pressures. Cheers.
Far out man the trouble you have had I would have already sold it and gone to a different brand
It took me a short time to get used to the quickshifter, I never hit neutral anymore.
keep youre feed up for 2 secon when shifting from 1 to 2. if you do that its all gone be great XD
I'll give that a try. Thanks.
I just had the shift shaft calibrated and the quickshifter works better.
@@dualsportadventurethanks for the response, do you know what they did? I think mine was calibrate when I bought the bike
Not really. The dealership plugs it i to a KTM computer. Not a physical adjustment so much as software as far as I can tell. Supposed to be done at 1000km.
Just got mine back from the shop getting the first service done since it needed a software update as well. Also had a bad battery. Went to start it after working out of town for a few weeks and it wouldn't start the night before I was going to take it to the shop. It also doesn't want to start cold. I'm almost empty on this tank, I'll try the regular gas and see what happens. Took them 2 weeks to get it done though. They had to wait for a battery from KTM because of warranty. Luckily I was busy or I would've been super pissed I didn't have the bike.
Goodluck man. There's literaly dozens of owners with the same issue at ADV Forum on the subject.
Great video and good to see you riding the 890 how it should be ridden. I have the 22 890 adventure model and have had the same start problem but only twice, mine has 3000 miles on it, I’ve got the SC project rally exhaust and it sounds great. I’m going to try Dunlop trailmax raid next. Even though they are a temperamental bike, they are addictive.
Thanks. The Dunlop Trailmax Raids have peaked my interest as well.
@@dualsportadventure I've got the Trailmax Raids on my 690. Definitely give up some street riding ability, the front end wanders on striated pavement. Off road they hook up really well.
The whole US has a bad gas....alcohol gas actually 😂
Hey man, all good to feature? Full credits given, of course. Thank you!
Yes Go ahead.
Come va il klr in Off road
This crap happens way too much on the narrow country roads where I live. Somehow I keep riding. I just be nuts. Glad he saw you - finally!
Got turned on to your video from @crowmoto’s channel. I know that a crash on pretty mild terrain can take a lot of confidence out of you. You end up thinking “shit, so this can just happen randomly, no matter what?”. I had a crash last late summer that was similar in a few ways and quite different in others. It still haunts me a bit while riding this year. Losing the front to a slippery rut is the common thread. In my case I admit to goosing the throttle, but that was the whole purpose to my practice that day - to learn how to break the rear out a bit in gravelly turns. Didn’t turn out too well for me in one of them seeing as how I didn’t expect the front to let loose! ua-cam.com/video/AuUFLxUEmg0/v-deo.html The big difference is I’m riding a whole different animal, with suspension that is up to the job and no load to speak of on the back. And I’d ridden this road a dozen times, probably. Anyway, just wanted you to know you’re not alone. I have only had this one injury, though I’ve had many drops and falls (also on my DRZ). I feel like I still get enough from riding that I will continue. I like the learning process. How are you feeling now, anyway?
Thanks for the reply. I decided to continue riding. I've healed and just finished riding the Idaho BDR on a KTM 890. Will post videos soon.
This is somewhat awesome. I like it when people actually show the item not their unrelated face all the time.
With all those engineers and designers and that's the best HONDA came up with ? Come on, gotta be a better solution from factory
