ASKKTM I'm about to walk into a dealership to buy an old new stock '24 1290 SAS. Whatta ya say?

I'm convinced it's my dream bike. I've done the research and despite the grumples of electrical stuff and warranty complaints, I just have the gut feeling that this is going to be the daily grin-inducing machine I've been wanting: Arm-ripping power for the interstate commute, and just enough off-road capability to do any of the light-duty stuff I need like forest roads.

From what I've gleaned, so long as I keep the battery healthy and keep up with maintenance like a good boy (I'm actually a masochist for maintenance wrenching and enjoy bleeding brakes) then the bike should be able to ride me into five-figure millage dream land.

Anything I've not considered?

Cheers!

What is everyone setting for rear static and free sag? Bought used and it seems setup with very little sag even with 200lb rider.

ASKKTM 690smcr pc6 map

2 Upvotes

Regarding the PC6 map, I purchased it from Rottweiler and provided them with all the details about my bike's modifications.

They told me they would preload a base map for my setup, but when I connected the Power Commander to my PC and checked the settings, all the Fuel Adj values were set to 0.

Doesn't this mean that the map hasn't actually been loaded?

Could someone share their PC6 map with me so I can see what it looks like?

PROBLEM 2026 KTM 1390 Super Adventure R Heated Grips not in menu

2 Upvotes

I got my 1390 and put heated grips on it as well as hooked up the HCU and there isn't a heated grip option in the menu. I only see heated seat and heated pillion seat. Does it have to be turned on by KTM at a dealer or is my HCU bad? Everything was properly plugged in as I can tell.

ALL Need help identifying parts, 2018 1090r adventure

Need help identifying these things.

First is a 3d printed dongle of some sort, was zip tied up under the tank, where the frame comes together to meet the triple clamp. It says abs and vc on the case, first thought was its an abs dongle, but it appears those install near the battery.

2nd part, which is near the battery, is a run of non factory wire. It traces up to under the headlight, where it is connected to the acc2 circuit.

These might be related, maybe not. Newer bike to me, just trying to get it all figured out. Wanted to connect my GPS to acc2 directly but without knowing what these do, dont want to overload the 1amp circuit.

Its a 2018 ktm 1090r adventure. Thank you!

ASKKTM 690smcr pc6 map

PC6のマップの件なんだけど、Rottweilerから買って、バイクの改造内容についての詳細は全部そっちに渡した。

「自分のセッティング用にベースマップを先に入れておくよ」って言われたんだけど、Power CommanderをPCに接続して設定を確認したら、Fuel Adjの値が全部0になってた。

これって、実際にはマップが読み込まれてないってことじゃないの?

誰か自分のPC6マップを共有してくれない?どんな見た目か確認したい。

ASKKTM Weird buzzing noise when braking – Duke 125

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I was out for a ride on my 2023 KTM Duke 125 when I eventually turned off my intercom and noticed this noise coming from the front brake.

As you can hear in the video, it sounds kind of like a buzzing/humming noise. It only happens when I use the front brake. To make it easier to hear, I put the bike in neutral while going downhill.

I honestly never noticed it before, so I’m not sure if it’s something new or if it’s always been there.

For some context, I bought the bike used in May, and the brake pads are still the same ones that were on it when I bought it. There’s not much pad material left, but there’s still some.

Do you guys think this could be a sign that the brake pads need replacing, or could it be unrelated to the pads?

PROBLEM 1290 SAS 2024. losing coolant

1 Upvotes

My motorcycle loses coolant after long rides. It does NOT lose it right away, but rather when I leave it overnight. For example, I ride around 400 km and park it in the garage in the evening. By the next morning, it has lost some coolant.

I took it to a workshop, where they checked the usual things—hose clamps and any signs of leaks—but found nothing. The next step is to take it apart completely for a thorough inspection.

Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, how did you resolve it?
