  • KTM 390 Adventure | My 390 Adventure has been reliable, remarkably so given how inexpensive it was back in 2020. Over 25K miles of reliable service, while being abused. It was not to last though. VERMIN found my bike and laid it LOW! - Frank

    Man Frank, when it rains, it pours! Pack rats and field mice have eaten my wires before, traps, poison, rinse and repeat! Best of luck, glad you were able to fix it.

    Glad you got the 390 back up and running. I am sure it is a huge relief. I keep mouse traps around my bikes, even in the garage.

      Hello Matt, I was shopping for another 390! I did not want to be without one.
      The big is so much more than one woukd think looking at the specs on paper.
      I looked at the market today... Honestly onlybthe Tuareg 660 is appealing. And that would be twice a used 390! And that would before nodding it! Glad the bike is working! - Frank

    No not the cruise!!! I just installed mine last weekend partly because of your videos and a small surplus in my bank account. I live Calgary Canada in the summer and rode my 390 to where Jackson from veridian lives. Smart guy great service. Now i can rest both hands, sometimes at the same time.

    Yeah, the little f***ers are relentless! I'm in NM, and they got into my Ridgeline last year and cost me a $700 repair bill. 😤 I have to keep traps around and use one of those bucket trapdoor deals for targeted use when my dog alerts me to activity in a specific area. Also have our pest company do a yearly exterior inspection for cracks, crevices or other openings that could allow them access. I feel like we've got a handle on it now, but we have to stay vigilant! Glad you got the 390 up and running with minimal work. 👍

    1. Thats a fancy bike there next to yours.
    2. It's okay if it wobbles over 65, we don't drive over 65, right?
    3. If your summer is so bad, come to Tennessee.

    Mice are evil! Glad you got it fixed. Subbed a week or two ago while reaching a possible 390 Adventure purchase, and recognized a bunch of places in your videos. Nice to see a local guy making good content. If you see a big guy on a TW200, honk and wave!

    I had mice chew up my engine harness on the old gmc pickup I had, that was not cheap to replace, my bike shed has electronic pest control in it, seems to work well.

    When I saw VERMIN I was expecting a political video 😂 Great job Frank fixing the wiring, looks like a professional job with those connectors. Maybe you had some new neighbors nearby that brought the mice. 🐭 🐭

    The best cure for a mice infestation is an abundance of cats or various snakes. I suggest going with cats as your wife may not like the idea of snakes just roaming about the house area to cure the mice problem. 😂

      Hello Charles, sadly I am busy and a cat would not be properly taken care of. And Upstate NY is not a great place for an outdoor cat. Plenty of predators, as well as bitter cold winters! Thank you for stopping by and commenting! - Frank
