This was a relaxing video to watch after work.
Thanks buddy the issues weren’t major but thought worth mentioning. Thanks for feedback as always buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice one Jay , just a chilled out ride on some stunning roads with a bit of KTM chat thrown in , hope all's well bud 👍
Thanks pal all good mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video mate,
Thanks buddy
Got the same bike brilliant vid you hit the nail on the head with it all . Only thing is they actually do put new grips on when you get heated grips off ktm I had mine fitted last week and they gave me back original grips
Brill that sounds like it is worth it if there is something physical you get for your money. Big thing for me was the tech pack. The grips are expensive though considering you can get aftermarket for half the price. Thanks for comment and view very much appreciated. Enjoy the bike 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes I agree 👍 all good stuff on your channel mate keep up great work
Thanks buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi just watching your love/hate on the Ktm watching you you peak on your helmet looks as if it’s hard over to your left not in square at all unless it’s the camera or just me enjoying the vids great entertainment love it ride safe take care 👍👋
Oh no I thought it was just me that noticed that. I think it’s the rear facing camera the lens is not central. Looking at the helmet it looks square on. Thanks for watching and your comment always appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video mate, nicely edited, loved the music towards the end 👍🏻
That couple in the car 😂 class! Question were you in South Yorkshire or Derbyshire, cos us Yorkshire folk are reyt nice n friendly 😉
Cheers pal and I was in Yorkshire but maybe they were from the south who knows 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE 😆 yeah, must have been Southern people, shame you missed recording it 🤣
As a suggestion, I would wire your Sat Nav into the ACC2 connection, it’s pretty easy to do and the connection is just behind the fairing. If I remember rightly on the right side. Short job but at least it will power on and off with the bike and less likely to drain anything. 👍
I’ve looked at some vids regarding removing the panels don’t you have to strip the bike significantly? I’ve been looking at the canbus easican that plugs into the diagnostic feed as these are pretty easy to fit 👍🏻
I felt that the battery on my 22 SDGT was a bit weak at times despite being on a charger when not in use , so i put a lithium one on and its been brilliant, holds full charge for weeks even when not on the ( dedicated lithium) charger and spins the motor over on starting great, smaller and lighter too.
Cheers buddy this may be the way forward I’m gonna look into doing that. Thanks for the advice and comment much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
I've had a few similar instances like you had with the elderly couple so know exactly what you mean.
Great video here mukka
Cheers pal 👍🏻👍🏻
The 12v to 5v transformer is drawing power all the time if it isn't on an ignition live, if it draws say 0.1A out of a 20AH battery (I don't know the capacity of yours) it will deplete it in 200 hrs or just over 8 days.
Oh and don't worry about the servicing as you'll have a new one come summer 😁
Mate thanks for the advice. And 😂😂😂😂 hmm new bike what should I get haha. Thanks buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
Hello mate, just working my way through your vids. Have you still got your SX and if not why did you sell the Kwack?
I am getting a test ride on a 2023 SX in a few weeks and would appreciate your views on it before I pull the trigger….by the way I run Pirelli scorpion on my Super Tenere and love them.
Hi buddy thanks for the airtime. SX was an amazing bike and tbh wish I kept it but as I want to do more trails and adventuring I went for the adventure bikes.
Th SX was so smooth and great to ride. Hope this helps 👍🏻👍🏻
For info, I’ve had my KTM 1290 SAR since 2022, done over 20k miles and never had any issues with the battery, sometimes it’s left for a couple of weeks and it always start perfect, if the bikes new I would get it checked as it sounds like it could be faulty and not holding the voltage. Either that or somethings draining it from a third party add on. 👍
Thanks buddy I think it may be my sat nav I’ve started unhitching it from the bike even though it’s been turned off and not having the issue now the battery has held its charge. 👍🏻👍🏻
Have a look at my other comment on linking it to the ACC2 connection 👍, can give more info if you need it
Yeah saw that it is something I will look into thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Mate I’ve run all kinds of tyres from Michelin anakee wilds too MotoZ tractionator rallZ and even a set of Michelin desert rally’s and I’ve clocked alone up and down motorways and never had a tyre over heating issue
Thanks buddy. I just haven’t got a clue when it comes to off road tyres and riding it’s all new to me. I am just relying on information from people. Experience will get better with time. What are a decent 60/40 tyre for the adventure S. these I’ve got on performed well in the lakes. I did have the anakee wilds on the gs and thought they were a good tyre. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
i hope you get more subs
Nice of you to say 👍🏻👍🏻
Take a look at the optimate duo 1 maintenance charger, these are smart units designed to keep the bike battery full and once it is in top condition the charger will just check the battery and if its dropped in voltage it will feed it a small current to restore it to 100% purpose built to be left connected
Brill I will give that a look thank you buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE Ctek ones are very good too.
Watch out for lithium batteries as they need a specific type of charger. Not sure if a lithium battery charger is safe to use on lead acid AGM or valve controlled batteries?
I’ve got a charger that does both pal bought it when I bought a lithium battery for the Ducati 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE Excellent. I may buy a good charger if I ever get a new machine.
In case it's of use to you. 1. Service books are virtually a thing of the past and I agree, it's BS - you want to keep that history!! You can buy books for cars, I'd do the same for a bike (or make one if I had to!!), if my bike didn't come with one and insist the dealer stamp it at every service!! 2. Most modern bikes will flatten their battery after no more than a couple of weeks of non-use...it's rubbish!! My MT10 can do that in a week. A "trickle charger" IS the solution, but make sure you have one which "conditions" the battery and actually stops charging for a while and puts load on the battery to discharge it from time to time (the Optimate I think does this, I use the Ctek range on cars and bikes and this deffo does that). My MT10 lives on a Ctek and it's 6 years old now and going strong on the OE battery! 3. My mate with a 2020 AdvS has had battery (and starting problems) including the ECU shitting itself in high heat (30+ degC), with repeated starting getting onto the chunnel which resulted in a battery disconnect to "fix" (it wouldn't start at all). My mate resolved this by adding a second small lithium battery in parallel with a solenoid so that it's only employed during starting the bike! If the ECU voltage drops too much when starting the bike, it can shit itself - this is a good aftermarket solution to that problem. 4. The rear shock electronics sometimes "forget" where in the stroke the shock is, the fix is to turn the bike off, fully unload the rear and whilst it's like that, turn it back on. 5. You didn't mention it but, the clutch slave cylinder can fail on all and ANY KTM (it's happened twice to my mate across multiple AdvS models (including the new ones)). Get an Oberon one now, before the OE one fails at an inconvenient moment.. ;) (they look good too, and they are not very expensive). HTH! :)
Mate thank you some great advice here I will deffo look into. It’s great you took the time to prove the info you obviously know what you’re talking about. Thanks again much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE Just sharing experience learned the hard way! :) Thanks for the thx, usually on YT, if/when I provide/share some "hard won" experience/knowledge... I get nothing back... (not that that's the reason I do it ;) :) ).
Cheers effort deserves effort 👍🏻👍🏻
Had a quick look and it looks like your not supposed to go lower on bikes Homologated tyre speed and load rating, doing so could invalidate insurance etc, can't see if its illegal.
Cheers for that will look at that info cheers buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE I looked on Michelin site.
