Hi, I'm Alex and and I'm an Adventure Bike Noobie- there, I said it! This is my spin on ADV bike vlogging as a non expert and I hope you enjoy my journey.
As time goes on, I'd like to pull in some of my other experience as an expedition and pre hospital care doctor and how we can learn some skills for any bike trip. I've managed medical emergencies in remote locations all over the world and have taught expedition courses in polar, jungle, mountain, desert and maritime environments.

KTM Super Adventure R screen upgrade?
I was lucky enough to have the SAS and the SAR in my yard for a few days, so trialled the SAS screen on my SAR. We all quest for the ultimate functional wind protection- did this fit the brief?

2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S five day review- is this the bike of your dreams?
มุมมอง 24Kปีที่แล้ว
The 2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is marketed as a true trans continental weapon, there to transcend countries and make our journey global. Add on the KTM Ready to Race ethos and that's a potentially potent mix. What's it like in real life and is it truly a new bike, or just a few minor changes but a new year?

@advnoobie6061 tried some new Mitas tyres on the 890 Adventure R. I've loved the Continental TKC 80s but fancied a change and Mitas have a great rep. Let's go more knobbly than the TKC and see how they perform. This is real world normal person riding. How did they perform and are they worth keeping?

Best GoPro motorcycle mounts- off road on the KTM 890 adventure R

What's the best GoPro mount for recording our epic adventures. Here I use a GoPro Max and try out four different mountings and show the footage from each- you decide. This is my first go at captions and it has worked mostly though there is a stuck caption in the outro.

Is the KTM 890 Adventure R too heavy to ride solo? Drop fest starts at 3:10!
มุมมอง 29K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Multiple drops and a bit of comedy! Heads up for a spontaneous film after an epic day out on the green lanes of Devon. There is something really rewarding about getting into a situation and only having ourselves to get us out. This was unexpected but I learned a huge amount about real world solo motorcycle recovery. Thanks for watching and subscribe if you like what you see. Thanks.

Denali D4 lights- is it worth the investment??
Alex are you still about
Alex are you still about.
The power of these lights is great. But what good is it to have powerful light when the housings made of aluminum turn onto white powder reminiscent of talc ? These lamps are expensive, but I followed advise when told “cheap ends up being expensive”. In this case these expensive lamps are not only expensive but so far Denali refused to acknowledge this issue and told me off, so I was basically ripped off. I have plenty evidence , photographic evidence to show these lights are not worth the expense. Not only because the lamps were not made of quality materials but most offensive is fact Denali cares less ! Do not buy this product unless you like to throw money out the window !
A little concerned about the number of times he says "I'm really getting used to this bike". Seems its not a bike that requires some "getting used to".
5 days is nothing with respect to learning a new bike. Give him 3-5k miles on it and maybe he’ll be able to tell u more!
Hello, I liked your video and I was interested in the screen, what brand and model is it? I tried to install a Givi model S screen on my sar, but it was too high, thank you
I'm thinking of buying the same stand, but have the WP XPLOR PRO suspension (same as the one on the 890 Rally) with 270mm of travel. Do you think the motorcycle will be raised enough for the wheels to not touch the ground with the extra 30 mm?
it's a great helmet but i honestly think it's overpriced.
Great Review - is the transitions visor now Road legal in the UK?
i just have this Klim..actually ,i had airoh commander size XXL,but this Klim size L and it's comfort for me..the foam is so comfort for me
Thanks for sharing a great video. Some very useful information, and practical information. It’s a great channel, hopefully you’ll be uploading more videos soon?
Super job! Thanks so much for making this video; I have to change the tire on a friend's 890 tomorrow, so this was super-helpful.
The Klim Krios Pro is a $800 helmet after taxes. You would expect perfection in all aspects and it's almost there BUT the visor will NOT stay where you place it. Open it up a few notches for extra air, first little dip or bump in the road and SLAM down it comes! I love everything about this helmet except the hinge plates. They are very cheaply made. It makes me wonder if anyone that actually rides tests them?? It is a $800 helmet WT Actual F?!
Block and tackle doesn't take up much room and makes lifting/recovery solo so much easier. You can balance the bike and pull on the rope at the same time (using the compound mechanical advantage).
You probably should’ve put the kickstand up before you start lifting it. It might stop the bike from falling over the other side. Not exactly sure in your situation. Just a thought.
Man I sure wish motea shipped to US!
Excellent helmet review of the Klim Krios Pro. Choosing a Helmet can be somewhat of a minefield. I appreciate your in depth review and this has help me to narrow things down somewhat.
I just roll the rear wheel into a socket tool used to tighten the lug and it does the same thing without having to strap the bike.
Just one problem with UK bike reviews. The road speeds are a joke and no one's game enough to give a bike some stick. Just putting around.
The only people that think a quick shifter is a gimmick are the people that dont have one 😂
you explained it best. super
Thanks for the video What grease do you use?
How noisy is it? Motolegends advertises it as a great urban and off road helmet but a poor one for touring because of the noise. Would you agree?
What make model is the little storage bag please ???
What are the shell sizes on these, will it make a small head look massive?
Thanks for shooting this. I have all the sympathy for this, and knowing that you’re all good, I was also laughing in pain AT you during the video. What a struggle!
my hil hold on my 2021 does not hold it with the brakes...it does help a lot when you must get it going but it does not hold
You are lucky it didn’t put a hole in the tank.
Update- I think this may have been my fault and KTM seem to think so. I wired the 12v sensor wire the Denali lights into a switched 12v line but not the aux power lines. They seem to think this messed with the CANBUS system over time, possibly due to a bit of corrosion. Probably arguable but it was an expensive fix. Learning point- don’t mess with any wiring except the aux power take offs!!
Picking my 2021 890 R up on Saturday and this is good to know!!!
is it cold while riding in -10 weather, how about the fogging?
Is the Adventure R teller seat height than the Adventure S?
Great review-Had a 2022 1290SDG for a short time - loved the bike when it was not back at the dealer or broken down. Unfortunately a mate had similar experience on his SAR. Formidable bikes but unreliable and poor OEM support so will pass for a while.
How is it in the cold weather? Can you install Sena intercom inside? Thanks a lot for the review :)
what size wrenvh is that 6.8mm?
After getting in situations like this with my Africa Twin, I sold it. It was almost 100lb heavier and didn't have the low fuel tank advantage. It was a real liability riding it to places like you went alone. Swapped it for a DR650 and couldn't be happier in the weight department.
Picked up my brand new 1290SAS yesterday!....looking forward to getting it run in and doing some miles on it and playing with the tech.
I think with the smoothness of the ride is because originally on the 2021 and 2022 there was 2 mappings put on the bike the first was the original but because of the euro 5 regulations they had the restricted mapping put on i had my ktm 1290 sas 2022 remapped by bhpuk in Burnley and the gains were 75% better throttle response and mid range low range pulls much better less vibration through foot pegs and seat handlebars.
Hi 19 inch front and 17 inch back wheel
Thinking of buying this model helmet. But unsure if it’s ok with glasses. Love the look of it but very much mixed reviews seen. Cheers.
Plenty of room for glasses IMO- wear shades inside it.
@@advnoobie6061 cool thanks for the reply. Merry Xmas.
Very sorry to hear about this, done nearly 80,000km on the first gen 790, the 890 and the new 2023 890... Adv R through South Africa, a good mix of hard gravel and general commuting. To date have not found a loose bolt... there have been some other exciting issues but not a single loose bolt... hope you have been sorted and are enjoying the bike👍

My first mod was KTM Rally pegs - nice. My second mod was trade it in for a Tenere 700, after the ADV-R's cam chain tensioner failed and KTM had no replacements available. That was an even better mod.
I have white one and i love it
Great video and info Alex 👍
Hi I am in that position where I am considering a replacement for my 790Adv R but most of my riding is commuting to work and yet my goal is to do more off road, ideally the UK TET sections. Do I go for a 1290 Adv S or R or do I go for the 890 Adv R? Your thoughts are most welcome.
Thank you, your chain tensioner blocks are 180 degrees different to mine, the extruding bit facing backwards on yours are facing the adjuster bolt on mine, strange
When I have this thing on it's top edge is at my eyebrows with the XL! Tried the Medium, too small, but the shell was smaller and the top edge not on my eyebrow. So I think it depends on your head shape and size. This guys weird head shape has the top edge considerable ABOVE his eyebrow. So which shell size and which head shape you have will make a huge difference! I have yet to try the Large. Wonder if it is an in-between shell size or a Medium or XL shell size?
Why complain i just buy a new one every 6 months or so 😂 I kinda circled back to the super adventure and have a big smile again. On my 890 i triggered mtc error by removing the abs sensor. Because with mtc and abs it rides like shit. And never go from 1290 to 890 is the lesson I learned.
What was the result of this?
Awesome, I have this exact setup and i planned to use it for a trip from Germany to West Sahara, I am a little unsure about the rear life span. I actually bought the new Mitas Enduro Trail XT+, it looks just a little more agressive, I am still on the fence about mileage on tough trails, with rocks and gravel for 8k kms. The front i have is the Dakar version, i have no concerns about it, tough as nails.
