    your experience with KTM is not unique, I traded my 2022 SDGT after 5 months of crap electronics, fried battery in the middle of nowhere, and 6 visits to the dealer with unknown errors simply reset on KTM advice and then recurring again.

    Unfortunately my experiences with the reliablity of KTM are also very negative. 2017 - 2020 I bought four KTM bikes for my sons and myself, which all (!) had defects and even failures that required a tow service: • 2017 1290 Super Adventure S - tank cap did not close any more (exactly 2 years after purchase, and of course on a public holiday far from home …). The tank cap is a known issue, but KTM refused to do a technical action / recall to fix this before the customer experiences an outage. • 2018 o 790 Duke #1 - TFT display has complete failure, resets to factory setting every time when switching on the ignition (incl. mileage status 0). The part was replaced on goodwill, but I had to pay the service hours. o 790 Duke #2 - TFT display has stress crack, goodwill was rejected. • 2020 690 Enduro R - the clutch slave cylinder is a known problem for years. Mine failed at 1400 km, so I had to call the tow services. The bike was new, so it was covered by the warranty, but still a lot of unnecessary efforts and hassle. The KTM bikes are real fun, I love riding them - premium fun at premium prices. But the reliability is unworthy for a premium brand, as well as the way how KTM treats its customers. I had twelve Japanes bikes in the family - starting a long-distance ride was easy, as they never failed. With the KTM you never have that peace of mind, as you always must factor in that you end up stranded. Very annoying.

    • @Terra-Moto

      Wow! That’s quite a bit of negative history with Ktm. I agree with you that Ktm charges way too much for the quality of the product and a lot more than comparable Japanese bikes and yet they are nowhere near as reliable. If the power, handling, and marketing weren’t top-notch, the company would be out of business.

    My Africa Twin engine would shut off randomly, it would also spit oil all over my pant leg. After spending hundreds of dollars to resolve I traded it for a BMW S1000XR. Riding my S1000XR in a heavy rain resulted in a fouled ignition coil which, according to several posts on forums, is a COMMON issue with the bike. I just traded that bike for a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. So far the only thing that isn't working is the handlebar security lock, which may be user error. I haven't been terribly impressed with the reliability of ANY bike I've owned. Perhaps the just the nature of motorcycles.

    • @Terra-Moto

    Thank you for this info, I'm thinking about sell my KTM 1290 SAS and buy other motorcycle. The problems on KTM keep happening on all LC8 models (electronic is horrible). In my case in 2 years (first owner) I've many electronic and mechanic fails, fails on suspension, fail in front brake sensor, hydraulic clutch bomb (2 times), SHIMMY to 60-80km/h... I'm owner of motorcycles more, a Triumph and Kawasaki with 40000km in my Triumph traveling solo around Spain and 0 PROBLEMS!. I'm thinking on Yamaha as switch my KTM 1290, because has reability and really I think that not is necessary 160hp to "solo" travel, what do you think?

    • @Terra-Moto
      @Terra-Moto 7 місяців тому

      I think you’re spot on. The electronics are a major problem. If I listed every problem, I’ve had with my 1290, it would take me a whole day. Most of the problems I can’t even remember now. The fact is, that we become intoxicated with the power and handling of the bike, and then justify all of the nuances. It’s like a love affair with a psycho partner. The sex is amazing but the relationship is purely toxic. I feel the same way with my super adventure. So frustrated all the time, but then the throttle changes everything. 🤪 I only hope that if enough of us make noise about the problems, eventually they will fix it. The bottom line, I’m so tired of shit that doesn’t work. Fingers crossed newer models will be much more reliable in the future.

    Ive said it a hundred times -- I would def buy an 890 if I didnt constantly see UA-cam videos of people talking about the issues. Some pretty big like starting in the morning, clutch and foggy screens which is crazy in 2023 to deal with a wet screen. Dude, I've owned tons of BMW adventure bikes dating back to 2013 and taken them around the world also -- never, ever an issue. I'm not a BMW fanboy whatsoever -- I want the 890 but I may get the F900GS/A just because I cant deal with that BS when traveling. KTM needs to focus on engineering and less on marketing.

      KTM and BMW are horrible in reability, not is true that BMW work fine, please browsing in youtube or forum about BMW problems... is insane... If you buy a BMW because you think that BMW won't break... it's not true, BMW break the same or more that KTM. Is better drive a KTM that BMW because the two brand will be break... at least the motorcycle has less weight and more powerfull

      Couldn’t agree more. They definitely have the marketing nailed. Like I mentioned in another comment, having a KTM is like having a toxic relationship with the hot psycho chick who is amazing in bed, but nothing but problems. I too would love the 890, however, after all the problems on this bike, I’m just not ready to take on another set of issues down the road. I’m sure the big Japanese bikes are nowhere near as much fun as the Ktm, however, at the end of the day reliability so important. Peace of mind comes from stability, not Performance

    Relax Bro. All bikes break down eventually. Its a mechanical device. If you rely on "stealerships" to do fast, easy repairs, you need to lower your expectations. I'd think you'd have learned to understand that by now with all the miles you ride. It's all part of the adventure. Chill

    I ride a R1250 GS Adventure and I have upgraded to a custom suspension. It is amazing how much more control you have when the suspension is set correctly. Most bikes come from the factory set to a 180lbs (82kg) rider.

      You are spot on. Suspension should be tweaked continuously until you find what works best for you in the style of riding. Some people want an aggressive ride while others opt for a smooth and buttery ride.
