No wonder ktm's services are so steep at the dealer!😳 gotta pull half the bike apart to change a filter...honestly surprised that ktm approached it this way considering the go anywhere marketing of the bikes, thats certainly not a roadside or parking lot friendly service if something mucks up your filter during a trip
@@csiautodetail Well, I practice taking the fairings and tank off, disconnected it etc several times when I got the bike and practiced that a few times. The first time was taking me a bit
This is a freaking nightmare to change by yourself on the go in a long expedition. On my old BMW F650GS I could change the air filter in 5 minutes, stupidly easy.
Thanks for the "how to". It's easier than it looks.... except for the fuel line coupler.
Thank you for posting this. Every potential 1090/1290 owner should watch this video.

They have a terminology for this. Its called error by design.
i have a this bike but its ridiculous how much work that is.
Much appreciate making/posting this!
Does this apply to 2020 SAR’s? I know the ‘21+ have a much easier process by removing the storage cubby.
Thanks very helpful video, funnel web do a nice cleanable pre filter kit for this bike that I will install
This is not difficult at all. It takes barely 10 minutes to take the fairings and tank off. It's not a big deal at all. Good information as usual
It took a 5 minutes video at high speed and editing, I don't think it will take a real 10 minutes. it looks very tedious

Thanks for the video. Actually, I was thinking it would be more work the that. No big deal.
Great, now I want a high front fender on mine....
too dificult, you have to disarm half of your bike in order to do it..
and 5 hours later you have cleaned/changed your air filter...
Trade it for a Africa twin

LOL it's true a nightmare - anyone can watch and learn but most won't deal with it.
after one minute into the video I gave up trying to change this by myself.
Fk that
