Alu handguards are overkill unless you are riding serious offroad terrain. I've had my 390 for 2yrs (18,000km), have ridden some hard dirt but not much, lots of gravel, mostly road. I've never dropped it. The stock handguards would hafve been fine. I'm moving them back on and putting the alu guards on my ktm 450 dirtbike. Ditto the mudguard - keep the road one unless you are riding a lot of mud and little road. All those heavy metal guards add unneeded weight. The engine is well protected and a very narrow profile anyway. This is not a large protruding engine - it doesn't need guards. Weight is your enemy when adventure riding. Ditto radiator guards, bashplate. So much bs in the adv mod market. Know your bike and its limitations - don't drive it like it was a tank and you'll be fine with stock. If it breaks, fix it, but swapping out stock parts unless you have good reason is the BIGGEST NEWBIE ERROR. Don't worry, you will find plenty of other things you need to spend your money on.
Thanks for pointing out why the tall handlebar is nonsense for off road use. Never understood how one can weight the front end with those 6 foot tall handlebars 😅
Not being a pin pointer here. But finally, communities have started to realise the importance of no nonsense luggage setups. Soft luggages saves ones life 👏

Great content, AJ. I liked the no-nonsense, precise and accurate information. Subscribed.
Keep up the good work, Best Wishes.
Thanks a lot! It really motivates me to keep making content.

Yeah! Makes it difficult to handle!

For sure! They make life easier!
And those new double takes not going good with overall form factor... The previous one was better or the round one look good (just my opinion)
I did have the round ones as well, but the field of view on what's happening behind was limited.
I would like to know why you chose KTMADV?
just enough performance for my requirement, cheap spares, light weight, good fuel range, comfortable on longer trips.
@@ajmotovlogs91 thank you. Instead of doing all my research , i just need to follow the trend setters like yourself
for adventure touring which mounting system for tank bag are good
tank ring or strap
I'd suggest a tank ring for better security and quick on/off!
Diff between ram mirror and double take mirror?
Which one are good?
They are the same! Shape is a little different between the 2! Both work fine
This question is out of the blue but wt is ur opinion on the new hero 250r as u are experienced rider. love to hear it from u
I haven’t had a chance to ride the new one, but I’m sure it’s a great bike!
Where can we get authentic bark busters? Any recommendations
Just google them up! You’d find the stores selling the original ones
Which brand is your tank guard
Sw motech
Bro those baja look a bit off I mean alignment, why don’t u get maddog light clamp and mount it on that clamp instead of mounting on crash guard
The MD clamps won’t work on mine because of the high fender!
