What are the 2024 changes as i have heard that the head, cam and followers are superseded on the parts # sides, any one know if the 2024 cam issues are still common?
C21 stone eater will kill it for best performance front hard turning of road bite.awsome rear them XTs..,oh you need to flip your rear axle blocks.....
Is the camshaft melting issue solved? Lol
i have been trying to find that out also, it would seem that the 790 more so effected than 890, some are well over 50k and no problems....have you heard of the 2024 head part # superseding from 2022 skipping 23?
You need to flip your axle blocks around to move your axle back?
I bet the problem is nothing to do with the plug gap. 1mm is the spec., but a modern ignition system is easily capable of providing enough energy to provide a great spark, even I the gap was 2mm. What was your sparkplug gap? Iridium plugs are OE. Iridium is better than copper, for example, because it's more durable, so lasts longer. Iridium does not provide a better spark.
A tip: ride to the BDRs on twisty minor roads. This way you'll have 1000 miles of fun getting there, 900 miles of fun there, and 1000 getting back. The Ténéré only weighs a kg or so less than the 890 - and that's before you've added the protection to the Yam. The Yam is underpowered for the road. Both the Yam and Tiger are top-heavy, so if you have stumpy legs, be careful.
Man, you got some money in this bad boy. You definitely have me beat with upgrades. I’m sure your wife loves all the money you put into this bike, as mine does. Lol!
@@Brian.A.Simmons Yea…enough money lol but it’s one heck of an adventure bike/dirt bike now lol
Could you do a video on how to remove the spark plugs?
@@nevenmitchell-banks9918 If I did it wouldn’t be for a long time. I can offer a suggestion however. Once the tank is removed, remove the ecu and loosen the battery tray and ABS module and scoot them back towards the rear seat. On the right side of the bike you’ll also need to unclip some of the evap stuff to fit your hands and a socket between the frame and the valve cover. Best way to get a socket in their is test fit the socket on your new plugs to make sure you’ve got the right one, then drop it down in the hole and then grab an extension, tuck that in and clip it in to the socket, then you can get the ratchet on it.
I believe they are the new version of the E-13 how are they working out on the tarmac ? I currently run the E-09 on the front and the E-07+ on the rear. Not so happy on wet road they are really slippery. Someone told me don’t take the Dakar version and i must agree the non Dakar version is stiff enough
@@Jonathan-ez8tq I really try to keep the road use to an absolute minimum with these tires. They are too comparable to actual knobby tires. I wouldn’t worry too much about street performance, these tires are just meant to get you to the next trail in my opinion.
Nice vid. IM looking at getting either a 23 or 24 VERY soon. 23 is obviously cheaper and I did some research, couldnt find anything diff between the 23 and 24. I feel like Im missing something.
Only thing i know is that the 24 has three O2 sensors and the 23 has two.
As someone who works around the 890's & 901's I've come to learn a trick (or process) to avoid the cold start issue. I do believe it is a fueling issue that could be easily addressed with an ECU flash, but to my knowledge the manufacturer has not yet provided one. The process is simple and free and it works every time. This is how we do it at the shop. First turn the key on and listen for the fuel pump to prime, after the pump is done priming, WAIT 5 to 6 SECONDS and listen for a FAINT CLICK. After hearing the click it is ready to start. I think the click is the secondary butterflies getting into position for cold start. Hope this helps
@@joeroberts1408 I agree with the ecu flash part, but I have tried the other method before with no luck. I didn’t see a significant change or stop until I did these 2 things.
Do you know if there’s any fix for the stalling issue while downshifting from third to second gear on the 901 ? Écu flash maybe on the easy shift is my take
@@neverstockjp I haven’t heard of that one yet. I mean I may have done that myself just because of too much back break but nothing that would indicate an issue to me.
What brand are the rear protection bars ..? really like the look and would save me wrecking pannier brackets 🙂
@@Just_a_Plane_motorcycle_rider HEED, they originally started as Orange but I had them powder coated matte black
Thanks! Very helpful.
INTENT & CO$T are the two mitigating factors in a purchase but most do not know what they want to do on the bike. I'm in same boat as I research but I've spent 6 months patiently researching a list of 7 dual sport bikes including all the mod's along w/ the cost to do them. I do appreciate this video as I'm constantly learning bits -n- pieces that help in my pursuit of the best bike for me..... peace
For many of us there aren't a lot of good options for what we want. Most of us have to do old bike to get close to what we want, but we want some modernized version. KTM 690 series is about only modern bikes that fall in the perfect range (on paper). Personally I didn't like my 690 enduro as an adv bike. The 390 adventure was close, but fell short in a few key areas. If the enduro version is released many of us might find the perfect bike. Only issue is its a KTM and well...KTM is a known quanity.
Never RTV a water gasket
@@javierc2726 You can if you wipe all the excess off. Place the gasket on the inside of the water pump, press it in firm and wipe the excess off from the inside. Install, and let cure for 24hrs or so then fill with coolant. Ensuring no particles or flakes get into the system.
hope the company addresses these issues on new bikes
Go small to start! if you buy it in the off-season used, you can probably resell when you’re ready for an upgrade without taking much of a financial hit at all. A lot of dealers are going to be stuck with bikes here as the season gets on we’re gonna see some huge discounts… or take advantage of someone selling their bike that can’t afford to keep it. There’s gonna be a lot of that coming up. Consumer discretionary spending on stuff like this is way down. This is the first thing people are giving up when they need money or just have a child
Awesome work Sir! You just got another subscriber! 😊
had an 1190 years ago with a pretty profound cold start problem,seems to be a KTM hallmark
Your not riding that to the bdr
No mention of the XR650 or the Africa Twin models? You look almost single track so the CR450L maybe? Nice locations...
Thanks for this good content, and it makes sense.
87 or regular octane fuel solved it for me.
Im waiting for the non Dakar version. So my friends dont get mad because i cant remove the tire to change the tube in the bush 😂 How hard is the Dakar to mount?
It wasn’t hard but it is stiff that’s for sure
Looks like you did realy nice work...
It's somewhat amusing that so many of these reviews on ADV bikes don't have video of the bike actually being ridden with three days/weeks of camping gear/food/spare clothing on the bike. Of course, very few ADV bikes are regularly ridden by their owners with days/weeks of camping gear. At the same time, few consider something much smaller/lighter/less expensive like a Yamaha WR250R or its equivalents with something like a Giant Loop Great Basin to carry the kit. Not enough roost behind the bike, perhaps. But most of the time, everything over 26 HP at the back wheel is mostly for wheel spin.
Have you watched Chris Birch or Adam Riemann or Rob Hamilton? Also why does the bike have to be ridden for 3 days with camping gear to discuss the positives and negatives of the bike? Also do you get a 5 gallon fuel tank on the Wr? Or do most bikes like that require its users to buy an oversized fuel tank only decreasing power to weight ratio and adding top heavy weight. Depending on the rider bikes like the 890 the tiger 900 and the t7 can be rode comparably to dual sports like that if not more aggressive. Your absolutely right though that wheel spin plays a big factor but one thing I care a lot about from these bikes that I believe makes them to be the better choice for long range adventure rides is their suspension capabilities. A reckless 80 on a wr would add a lot of weight making the bike feel somewhat abnormal. It all comes down to preference really and each bike falls into its own respective category.
@FREE-RIDER I think your last sentence sums it up completely. Everyone has different wants and needs out of a motorcycle. For many people, this whole experience of adventure bike ownership is a never ending learning curve. This is why I smile when I read comments from people with hard opinions on this topic. They're ideal setup is another person's nightmare. Adam Rieman is no exception to this. He's a highly skilled rider that has figured out the perfect setup for him. It's a pleasure watching him masterfully ride "The Warhorse". He should definitely pull back on his arrogance though. There are many people who travel the world on motorcycles, from CRF 300s to Tiger 1200s, with hard or soft luggage. They're all getting the job done. There is far too much gatekeeping in this community.
@@Kevimoto Remember TH-cam for the most part allows people to speak freely on topics, and if someone had to worry about coming across as arrogant on topics they feel strongly about then they wouldn’t upload the video. The video creator posts willingly knowing peoples “agree levels” will vary from 0%-100% and doesn’t always solidify their rightness or wrongness on the subject they speak about. The commentators also have a similar choice, on what they say and how they say it. If people want change then start being the change, and improve on our listening and responding skills

890 Adv S for the win.
I really want to get one, but already had a bad experience with a brand new ktm I had. Reliability on the 790/890 platform really concerns me as well 😢
I went for the Suzuki v-strom 800de, to be different to the t7 and 890r riders. Coming from an off-road trailing riding background, I wanted something more road focussed than the couple of dual sports I dabbled with and found the power to weight ratio to be underwhelming. I now wish I’d just gotten the ktm, as the Suzuki is so heavy and a touch too much road focussed. 105hp compared to 84hp, much lighter, and more off-road focussed in hindsight probably would have suited me better. But still, I’m also interested in a ktm 690 and making it more road focussed while keeping it capable for single track 😅 you only live once! 😎
It’s tough to find what we want these days with so many options. You almost have to buy a bike and be ok with losing money if it’s not what you expected. But if all we were concerned about was money then we wouldn’t be riding lol
Its usually an I want it not an I need it decision.
Very true, we are all human
One day I also want to ride KTM 150 exc. I'm lightweight and want a very light enduro.
Premium moto, enjoy! What kind of Dainese jacket do you have in this video?
I can’t remember the name but I do know it’s one of the d-dry jackets. It’s like a spring/fall jacket with a removable wind blocker/d-dry liner. It’s got elbow and shoulder pads but no back pads. I got it direct from Dainese website, revzilla doesn’t show all the products Dainese makes but warning, their return process is a nightmare if you order the wrong size.
@@FREE-RIDER Thank you! Found it. It's Racing d-dry
Full option ❤ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've got the 2023. RP airbox, fuel line w filter,can delete, arrow cat delete, and I run 87 or 89 octane. I still need to check the plugs. Almost always it fires right up. I do twist the throttle right at ignition. I'm gonna test it without my safety twist this am. Thanks for the plug tip
These bikes have like a 13:1 or 14:1 compression ratio, 91 octane or higher is going to be safer than 87 or 89 unless there is nothing else available to you.
@FREE-RIDER I'm gonna go back to 91 since the fuel line and airflow mods. I also put on the one finger clutch vanache and the garmin xt zumo vanache mount. The rack I have is the motortrekk with giant loop soft bags. All those additions should make it start better!🤣 oh and the kickstand sensor relocate,oh and the cannister delete.. of course I never ride it on road, lol...
@@cujof16 I’m not understanding your humor. What I said about octane is true though. Feel free to Google why high compression engines should use high octane fuel.
@@FREE-RIDER Im just hoping the actual fixes you proposed (plugs box and cat delete) help the start. I was totally kidding about all the other expensive stuff I put on helping my start. Sometimes humor doesent translate on comments. Its pretty expensive stuff and sometimes I wonder what it helps. It makes me feel good to have it on the bike! I like your channel, good info and good vids. I am getting 91 today once I run this tank out of 89.
@@cujof16 Im not100% certain either. I still wanted to share what I’ve tried and what I think helped the issue.
Going to try these now after my motoz rallz, on my T7.
So far I’ve been enjoying them. The Dakar versions like a lower tire pressure just as a heads up. I’ve got about 20 psi in my front and 25 psi in the rear. Otherwise they feel unstable, and as always are sketchy on grooved pavement
@@FREE-RIDER So you run the dakar ver with that psi ?
@@advswede That is correct, I’ll vary that some based on whether I’m loaded up or not. But that’s what I’m running with bike unloaded
With tubliss or tubes?
@@MattPetersen-kr5qj I’ve got Michelin heavy duty tubes in it
surprised you got the ‘ old style’ double takes!
I like the style of these ones in the shorter length. I thought the longer arms looked goofy
Great video, thank you. If I may ask what is the gap that you set for the spark plugs?
I believe it was .039” or .9mm it will also be in the owners manual
@@FREE-RIDER thank you
So me being me I went ahead and bought a set of NGK Iridium plugs and installed them, by no means an easy or quick job 🤪 Bike is definitely firing up a lot easier now and running really well, tomorrow morning will be the real test - wothiour cold winter morningd. The ones that I took out are still in spec of the 1mm gap, but are really crusty, rusty and the electrode looks pretty sharp. I guess they're not too bad taking into account that they have 25,000 km on them 🤔
@@MotoAdventureZA When I removed mine they were way out of spec. I was suspicious that the large gap was contributing to some of those cold start issues. Also check to see your throttle bodies are fully seated in the intake boots. Right from the factory mine were not fully seated.
My boot clamps were loose from the factory-discovered at 13 miles when I replaced the airbox w the RP airbox
