Can't wait until I'm healed enough to really rip on this bike! Palmetto Adv Rally update coming next week.
Great bike! I ride a 2017 KTM 1090R and a 2023 KTM 350 EXC-F. Your 990 Adventure R is my favorite large ADV bike.
Thanks. I love it so far. It's been one of the funniest big bikes I've ever ridden.
@@TheBeardedGrump great result!
Congrats! Looks like an awesome ride for ya. Glad you are back on the horse!
Thanks. It feels good to be back. 👊
Agreed! Just say no to farkle! Mods, modifications, upgrades, etc. are acceptable. Nice bike with some good modifications!👌
I knew I couldn't be the only one 😅 Thanks! 👊
Great video. Loaded with mods. No wonder why you love it so much Greg, its sweet. Really sweet.
Thanks man! I'm definitely loving it! Just say no to the F word 🤣
@@TheBeardedGrump you know how I feel about the farkle word. Not a fan. Hopefully bringing it to light will start a revolution and proper terminology will once again grace our sport.
Oberon 🤔Thanks, So My 1090 adv r has a bad o-ring in the slave cyl. Guess what...KTM doesn't sell you a o-ring...buy the whole slave cyl. And nope, ordered one from KTM parts online..wrong size 😂 My 1st ever issue with my 1090...what you gonna do. Upgrade I guess...Love the videos Greg, Glad you are back at it.
The Oberon is supposed to be bullet proof. Thanks. It feels good to be back. 👊
Great choice in bikes! Im glad everything is working out. I was worried about you coming back. Nothing worse than not riding
Thanks. I still have a ways to go before I'm fully healed but it feels good to be able to ride again. 👊
Awesome bike 👍
Thanks 👊
That's a pretty good real world endorsement for those Tusk paniers. Lookin' great!
They held up pretty well in the worst case scenario. Thanks. 👊
I really like your bike. Very cool. I agree. Say no to farkle!!
Thanks! Just say no to the F word 😂👊
Nice farkle upgrades
Thanks lol
Damn good-looking bike brother. Other than KLR's I'm a KTM guy myself. My next adventure bike will be a KTM. I passed on the 990 I told you about. I'm looking at a 1190r if he can get the price right. Stay safe out there ridding.
Thanks man. Hopefully you can work out a deal. 👊
Dam nice bike Greg
Thanks Terry. 👊
Someone spent a good deal of time and money upgrading that bike, looks great Greg!
I assure you, a Motoz Tractionator cannot hold the ground with a KTM. With MTC off on my 790 Adventure R, I could easily spin my Motoz.
You're not on a VStrom now Greg! - Frank
They definitely did thanks. It probably could spin a Motoz but this v grip rear tire spins really easy. It's kind of scary but I'll be a little easier on the throttle on pavement for now.
Another word a grown man should never say-yummy 😮
Hopefully I didn't say it 😂
Nice! It's had some money spent on it. Braided brake hoses may help with the spongy feel.
Enjoy!
It definitely has. I didn't think about braided lines for the front. Thanks man. 👊
Oh Greg, those farkles are fantastic! So cute and fabulous!
Y'know ... with a little nail polish, you can hide those nasty scratches.

🤣😂
Adjustable kick stand is a kit sold by cj designs out of WI. In case anyone was wondering. Just picked one up for my 990 actually.
Thanks. I was wondering if it was home made or not. 👊
@@TheBeardedGrump may have been a DIY version of his kit where he just supplies the parts and let's the customer do the cutting and welding
@TheBeardedGrump do you have issues with the kickstand sensor killing the motor when you hit big bumps? I've heard some folks say the added weight of his kit at the end of the kickstand causes the kickstand to bounce just enough to mess with the sensor and it can kill the motor sometimes
@@cselsmeyer I haven't had that issue but to be honest I haven't gotten to ride the bike hard off road because I'm only 4 months into healing from a broke back. Hopefully that won't be an issue but if it is I'll find a way to bypass the switch.
Looking forward to meeting grump one day😁
Hopefully our paths will cross someday. 👊
@@TheBeardedGrump my adventure Gs just failed her mot, leaking shocks(even though I replaced them) and brakes needing serviced. I'm gonna be busy,I may be on my Push Bike 🫡
@@ScotlandsGold I hope you get everything sorted 👊
@@TheBeardedGrump 👊
Just promise me son that you will be real careful.
I will
Hi great bike ,I also own one ,I'm south african ,I badly want to buy a 990 high front fender but cant find one ,is there anyway you can assist me please
I'm pretty sure that the fender on mine is a KTM supermoto fender and the fork guards are from a KTM 85
