When I got mine with my Super Adventurer I had to check twice to make sure it had the KTM logo on it and not an IKEA one.
LOL, Ok dude. You win comment of the video!
The last time I looked IKEA products didn't require machining prior to assembly.
been following you since i bought my 2016 KTM SA . I just recently bought this bag after watching your video You may be glad to know it now comes with the base plate installed on the bag from the factory now
Just got mine from the dealer for AUD $199. And the dealer already did the drilling!
Bought this bag second hand, so no problems with the drillbit etc. Had no manual, but the bag is like new, great video for installing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Patrick. Glad you got to just enjoy the bad instead of dealing with the headache of having to "install" it.
I bought the newer version that you don’t have to drill, but it didn’t have any instructions, so I just ‘winged it’ and got it installed. I’m not impressed with the side zip pouches; there isn’t enough space to put anything larger that a thin wallet, checkbook or smart phone, but I don’t plan on using them much anyway. I mainly want the bag for a spare jacket, sweater, and water.
I use the side pockets for GoPro batteries and that's about it.
Well not much has changed since you posted this video. My tank bag arrived today, along with the template and drill bit. Luckily the installation went well and no screw ups when drilling.
Sucks to hear the first part but happy to hear the install went off without a hitch
I could be wrong and probably am but could it be that the wood block while drilling was supposed to go on the inside of the bag to support the fabric and possibly help to keep the fabric that got caught in the drill bit away from the drill bit. It looked like the bag was way to tall for the bit to ever go through the other end of the bag
Just got mine. Went together fine. It works well with the ktm 1290 (now what to put in it)
Hey Mario, thanks for showing me why NOT to buy this tank bag, I think your rant at the end of this vid pretty much says it all buddy, keep up the good work man 👍
Rather ridiculous for the amount of money it costs.
That is crazy... Looks like I am going to go with the Giant Loop tank bag.
Let me know how you like the Giant Loop.
Really appreciate your videos brother, I'm leaning toward the super adventure. Thank you, and safe riding
Thanks man; means a lot!
Hmmmm, think I’ll stick with my Givi!
PS Maybe put a bradawl through to line the holes for the plate first before drilling?
Then make sure the lining is clear of the hole to stop it tearing?
Buen video, en mi caso compre un givi que es pequeño y evito ese trabajo. Un saludo desde Argentina
Eso funciona, pero necesitaba más espacio para el gran viaje.
I like the idea of a hard mounted bag, but that drilling thing is for the birds!
Check with Givi. They have some great TankLoc bags that don't require any drilling.
Sounds like a dream living in a garage working on bikes all the time?! 😉... that sure beats the big magnet bags!
Once on the bike, I actually really like the bag. Makes fueling up much quicker and you don't have to worry about the magnet scratching your tank (tho mine is plastic so magnets won't work anyway).
I'll have to do same if I get that Super T!!
Good review, you talked me out of that bag, cheers!
I think this bag is made by SW Motech. I had one on my BMW, and it has the exact same ultra-lame installation where you have to drill the holes in the bag. What were they thinking?
That's likely the case that it's just rebranded. Still crazy to require drilling for a tank bag.
2 Wheeled Rider exactly that’s why I chose the version with the bands
Easy mounting,
Not so fast mounting as this in the video, but I haven’t these rubbish on my tank
SW Motech is mostly perfect aftermarket stuff, but this one .... mmmm.
Beside that
Like your channel!
Great funny ripping on the dumb build of KTM. Made me laugh this morning thanks!!
But seriously....it comes with a drill bit?!?
Thanks for the video. Guess I will be looking for a different bag manufacturer.
At that price point there shouldn't be any DIY aside from affixing the mounting plate to the bike.
Already gone through two of these, zipper went on both!
Great video, just found your channel, seems like you work pretty hard on it! You earned a sub today! Also, when covering stuff like that plastic plate, I like using the loop side of Velcro to make it soft again, already has adhesive and is nice and soft.
Thanks! Much appreciated! And thanks for sharing that idea; I like it.
Hi, have you used the raincover which comes with the bag? Mine does not seem to fit the bag.
I’ve only used it once or twice. Can’t remember if the bag was expanded or not but fit fine
This doesn't have anything else to do with the video but I own a 17 1290 super adventure R, does anyone else have a weird front brake pulsation when coming to a stop that rattles the bars and feels like something is shaking up front?????? Dealer has no idea and my 1190 r never did anything like that.
Possibly a warped disc. Should be identified and remedied under warranty.
I had a new Moto Guzzi that did that and it was a warped brake rotor.
KTM should have sourced these bags from SW-Motech. Night and day.
The bag is outstanding for sure. The install is a huge hassle and it really gives KTM (which i basically like a lot) a black eye on putting this out in such a fashion. Depending on what your time is worth, the extra time to drill these r hoes and set the screws will add quite a few $$$ to the cost. PLUS I don't know if you can do it without screwing up the interior of the bag. Very dicey and i was prepared for it after watching the video. I was sure I could do without screwing it up. WRONG! I also just tore out the cover pieces and replaced with a softer material. The bag is sturdy, a perfect fit and appears to be just what i expected. The install is BS..
So how did you like the KTM tank bag? Thinking of getting one, but the thing looks huge! Does in stick up too high or interfere with your view or riding? How about when standing up?
Once I got it on the bike I've really liked it. Doesn't interfere with my view or controls while riding. If you're wearing a 3/4 length jacket, like I do, you may catch it on the bag when you go to sit back down.
I have a 2018 1290 SAR I heard horror stories about the computer controlled fuel cap. So I ordered a non lockable race cap. Do I need to take off the tank covers to swap out the fuel cap?
I’m guessing the unit you got is s threaded 2 piece and if that’s the case, yes, I think you’ll have to pop off the tank cover in order to replace it. Tough to say for sure as it will depend on the design.
2 Wheeled Rider thank you very much.
will this fit 2007 990 super duke. looks like it would fit any ktm?
Not 100% sure. Would need to check the bolt pattern.
My tank bag from SW-Motech did the same. I had to drill the plate and bag.
Out of curiosity...did they include a drill bit?
I don't think so. It was 7 years ago. I purchased it online from Twisted Throttle
It is stupid but I guess it helps keeps price down slightly. Swmotech costs a lot more
Looks good, I feel will order the same from KTM dealer.
Once it's installed, it works great.
Hey Buddy
so your back in the garage,,LOL,awesome tank bag bro
great review and install,,It's going to work awesome on your trip
sweeeeeeeeeet bike,,,ride safe my motorcycle brother ,,,liked ( thumbs up )
+Alaskan dual sport thx buddy!
Man I was looking for a tank bag but I think I'll pass on the KTM bag its about as bad as them not giving a space for the tool kit under the seat.
If you can get passed the asinine install, it's a really nice bag. As for tool kit space, I agree. I shouldn't have had to spend 2 hours removing that stupid charcoal canister just to make space for my tool kit.
Looks like a re-branded sw-motech bag. Those have you drill as well... but they have you drill so you can customize where the plate is depending on the shape of your tank. Yours looked like it mounted in only 1 place... makes no sense.
Pretty sure it is just a rebranded SW-motech bag.
Good review!
Nice Yamaha shirt. 👍🏻
Based on this video and the reviews on Amazon I just purchased this for my incoming Super Adventure S. Question: to minimize the risk of damaging the piece of fabric with the drill bit do you think punching those holes with a nail first, then using the drill to widen the holes, would minimize the risk of snagging?
Possibly. The problem is the drill can grab the fabric as the bit is spinning.
So...what I did was tape the flaps of material to the inside of the bag with duct tape before I set to with the drill. It worked; no snags! I agree with you; there's no reason this shouldn't have come already installed and the instructions were rubbish!
Glad you got it put together without any issue!
The drilling process on mine went perfectly with nice round holes in the fabric and no snagging whatsoever. I couldn't find an appropriate piece of would to use for a backstop so I used a plastic flower pot instead, with a flawless result. Was somewhat taken aback by the fact that the holes in the template are smaller than the included drill bit, requiring them to be drilled out. Still no excuse for the consumer to have to go through this absurd process in order to mount a factory accessory
I used a bit smaller wood drill
Nice tank bag 2 Wheeled Rider. Drill bit, really? What next? Needle and thread?
I don't mind some assembly but this was just crazy
Other than the ridiculous installation, another downside to that bag is wear on the zipper area if you stand up while riding. The thread is wearing through on mine and the zipper has started catching on it.
I did notice that while standing on the pegs, my jacket was catching it quite often. Hasn't shown any additional wear from it yet though.
How much bro...?
Thanks for this. I couldn't even find instructions from KTM. Your right; they're garbage.
Hmmm what a shit design , nope I'll look for something else
Great video though mate 👍🏻
Agree stupid design! Thank you because I'll look for another brand.
I got the dealer to throw in a KTM tank bag for free as consolation for having to wait so long for my 790 Duke, and I agree about the bullshit installation process. There is absolutely no reason for the bags not to be pre-drilled at the factory. Also, the bag is hideous. It sits on the same plane as the filler cap with plenty of air under both ends, rather than conforming to the shape of the tank like every other tank bag in the world. And it's tiny as well. If you pack the carrying strap and rain cover there's no room for anything else.
Hey Mario, What Givi Tank Bag did you have ? I'm looking at those, but making sure the bag does not interfere with the Bars at lock. Thank you. Good vid, Shitty instructions.
Danny, I'm not sure Givi still makes the one I had (which now my sister is using on her bike but looks like the closest one is the GIVI "15 liter tank lock bag." That may be the exact one I had but if it isn't, it's the closest available now.
@@2WRThanks for the prompt reply, Mario. I'm looking at the Givi XS306-25ltr.
I doubt you'll have any issues with that one.
Me too.. Hope it doesn’t interfere with Steer lock. Keep you posted
I returned the bag, interfered with bars.
This Par for the course for KTM they have some dumb ass instructions. Just purchased some OEM cases. They sent cases no tumblers or keys then they sent tumblers no keys WTF why don't they just install them in the cases already keyed. I love the bike. but they have some real bogus accessories. and poor customer support .

Funny as shit, as you know we've chatted about the installation fiasco already. If you need to free up the space to pack 8? Starbucks Coffee mugs it helps tremendously I'm sure.
Yeah, the bag was Super handy on the trip. It held quite a few Starbucks mugs.
So....is your top case completely full of electronic gadgets with little room to spare?
LOL...there's a video coming on that VERY soon. I will say not "completely" electronics.
Hey Mario,
Wanna sell your old bag??
Gave it to my sister
I always hate when you have to finish the manufacturing process of a product that the factory should have already completed. The person that made up the directions and the one that came up with the idea to drill holes in a brand new accessory should both be slapped around a little bit. Maybe they're the same person.
Agreed
No shit. This whole absurd process sounds like something a lawyer dreamed up to avoid potential product liability issues.
sw motech Evo is way better! no drilling
swtich evo did you go with?

I like the look of that one.
You mean I have to take it off and fumble around with it to get gas? No thanks. Tail bag only for me.
Takes 2 seconds and I don’t think my passenger would appreciate the tail pack 🤷🏻♂️
It's not a garage! It's a car hole.
So stupid.. I’m doing that rn...
really nice design for the bag , shit design for installation , can't believe installation drilling process , KTM sucks with this .
WTF youre T-Shirt
I've owned all sorts of bikes and I'm a Valentino Rossi fan, hence the Yamaha racing.
