KTM 990 Adventure Bike Trail Ride | British Columbia

- This past August I took my KTM 990 Adventure on a bit of an adventure ride into the mountains. We tested its off-road capabilities navigating some FSR's, double tracks, and even some single tracks. My friend on the 690 set the pace and I tried to keep up.
I added a short clip at the end of the video of me doing a hill climb on the 990, turn that SOUND up :)

Looks like a good time guys, I just picked up a 2013 990 baja,looking forward to riding I haven't even tested it yet 😔
You are going to love it, hopefully it's got all the goodies
@@j-moto1215 basically it's a stock baja,crash bars,etc.on street tires.so I think it was mostly a highway queen. Low km.time for the mods.
@@ianferrier235 Gotcha, there are a lot of upgrades for these things that make them really perform. Let me know if you have any questions on it, most likely been through it haha.
@@j-moto1215 for sure I will, thanks
Nice riding considering the size of the bike and video editing 👍🏻
Thanks pal
Gearing is everything.
You’re right!! I went 1 down in the front from stock and it’s worked well. Could try +2 on the back and see if it makes things easier
A real workout. Beautiful country.
Excellent
Great riding boys! Blane nice to see the old 690 on the trails. Very reminiscent of Grant and I riding a lot of those trails on our 990, 690 Adventures! He does run an E09 on the back though.....
Hey thanks for watching, definitely have to get out on a ride this summer. What are you riding these days? You would have been proud of that 690 that day. Blaine did awesome!
@@j-moto1215 2015 KTM 690 with the RR fairing and tank kit. Yes we must get a ride in this summer!
I love 990ADV & BDCW parts!
How do the bikes compare on the hwy? Is the 990 a lot more comfortable at speed
Yes, it's good on the street, feels pretty stable even with 50/50 tires.
Great to see some 990r footage, have had one for years now. Not 525lbs though, mine with single exhaust etc comes in close to 490. Still heavy though haha.
Mine has the AUX tank so I think it’s something close to that. Awesome bikes though!! You still ride yours much?
@@j-moto1215 Just had a great weekend on it. I am selling it though as I do move to more lighweight adventure riding, but they are such an amazing machine, i'll miss it!
@@broncoridesagain3176 from what I’ve heard the 790 and 890 are miles ahead of it. Kindof toying with the idea of upgrading myself.
@@j-moto1215 agree, quite interested in those. I love the newer 690's too.
@@j-moto1215 I don’t think the 790 is a better bike. It’s more modern if you like electronic gizmos and maybe little more nibble. I didn’t like the engine and the tank is super wide. I’m actually disappointed that KTM couldn’t do a better bike considering that the 950/990 is a almost 20 year old construction by now.
Your mate needs to get up on the pegs more on that 690 , he should be able to tackle pretty much any climb on that thing, no body armour?
Good tip, he’s a good rider but guess he prefers to sit. I didn’t even attempt it on the 990 because it was so loose. Sand and baby heads haha not a good combo
Some really tough sections! Good work! Where is this?
Looks like the Whipshaw in parts.
@@richardmazur8489 It's off the Hurley FSR, yeah I agree it does resemble the whipsaw in parts. Did that one this summer :)
What gearing did you run?
I dropped a tooth on the front and it helped alot with this stuff, I want to say 14T and stock on the rear
