I also installed the taller windscreen on my 1290 Super Adventure R, and I have been wondering if you could swap out the adaptive cruise control and make it work on the 1290 Super Adventure R
I hv s and r at same time in 2 places for these two difference （handling） for me is the suspension . I like the r suspension more .other are No big different。
If both bikes were equal as they both have an “off road mode” , is the S better off road in a way, or is the R better on road? So if its purpose is 100 points and secondary purpose is the opposite expressed as just points over 100, then would the S have 30 extra points off road and the R have 20 points on road? I like the electronic suspension and adaptive cruise of the S. For me “off road” would be gravel roads, fire roads, forest roads but no jumps, deep sand, or single tracks.
Yes that’s where I bought mine. They are listed for the S only a believe this is because it throws the speedo out but with gps on I had an accurate speed
Nice bike! I own a 2015 KTM 1190 Adv R. Itchy to get a 23 or many juts wait to 24 Yeah my 15…. Wobbles at around 45 mpg and it goes away after. Very annoying
It wasn’t all that bad. It was however flawed in my opinion and didn’t offer as much feel as I would have liked. It will get you around gravel tracks without issue.
Planning to buy the 1390 Super Adventure in 2025!
" I like the subtleness of the Orange..." Just KTM owner things lol.
I'm picking up my 1290SAS tomorrow! I do like the colourscheme of the R. Video up soon as well.
Enjoy it
@@moto-tribe am doing so! 2500km on it now.
Decent video mate, keep them coming 👌🏻

There like a bar end to stop vibrations 👍🏽

I like the windscreen and the colors on the S better, but I'd rather buy the R for the off-road capabilities over the S

The R is definitely superior off road. But that doesn’t mean the S is bad off road. For my ability they both are far better then I am
Thank you, very informative
Where is the video follow up about your experience with the R model?
You won’t believe where I ended up. Next video due in the next few days
They do sell 19/17 whhels in the power parts catalogue
Yes that’s where I bought mine. They are listed for the S only a believe this is because it throws the speedo out but with gps on I had an accurate speed
How has the reliability been on the Adventure S?
The only fault I had was the home button falling off. Replaced under warranty.
Did the 17/19 fit on the R? Wanna have double setup myself!
Yes it did and made for a great set up for road

Mine used to do that on the 2019 I had. A bit of suspension set up and a new front tyre solved it
I really wish the R came with the same sticker package of the S, never been a fan of the white
Some cool custom fairing graphics available
The next episode will interest you in that case as I’ve got stickers as a product review and I have to say it’s transformed the bike. 😊
@@moto-tribe sweet!
I ended up fitting a graphics kit from moto pro works and was very happy with the finished bike
How good is the S Suspension off-road mode?
It wasn’t all that bad. It was however flawed in my opinion and didn’t offer as much feel as I would have liked. It will get you around gravel tracks without issue.
Where is the nobs for the r
Next episode will reveal all
👋
worse bike i ever had the misfortune to own, good luck with your R
What are the issues?
Missfire, pre load warning lights, loose headstock bearings, coolant leaks, bike always pulled to the right, clunky quickshifter..
I have also had the pre load failure on the s also. No more with the none electric suspension
What a waste, this guy takes too much and less facts in this long video
Thanks for your input. No changes will be made 😂
