Nice video, I always find the active track on the bike a bit hit or miss with the mini 3 pro. Where is that trail looks good for my very amateur skills lol.

Jeezus mate, you had no chance of avoiding that. Glad you were ok.

Love the trossachs too mate. Subbed to your channel.

For the life of me I can't think why anyone living and riding in Scotland would put these tyres on their bike.

I don't think ur insurance covers u when ur off road.

Well done. I’m doing the 30 miler in a few weeks. Gave me a good insight into the terrain.

Lang may yur lum reek ‘an otheran’s coke Laddie! from a dual American/Canadian who plays the pipes and understands and appreciates your accent. ( for most Americans I said “ long may your chimney smoke on someone else’s coal!) 😂

Need subtitles

☀️ 😎 👌🏼

I know American English, but what was he saying?

Too cute 🥰

cat Is it original?

The National Park is a total no no - illegal to ride there!

It all happens so fast. Glad you're ok.

Hey buddy, I’m glad you survived the crash okay and didn’t get hurt. Things could have been a lot worse. I crashed my KTM last year in sand and tore a ligament in my foot. I’m still recovering from that injury. Take care and be safe out there!

Popped my fuel tank about 6 months ago doing stupid sh*t offroad. Ended up being about 3,000 usd to get repaired. Ended up with radegarage fuel tank. Still doing stupid sh*t offroad to a lesser degree 😆 and better tires

FAAFO.

Hello, thanks for the video really helpful! When cleaning the filter, do i need to clean them both or it's enough to clean the external one? thanks

Boys & their toys 😏

Amazing

I'd do it just for the sound, let alone that weight savings!

Well done and thanks for sharing! I'm doing this this year and haven't heard back from them about dropbags. Do you get them taken to Checkpoints for you at the start?

Great video, thanks 😊

im using 48l versions so 24l each on AT, and for few rides i have had them also very happy, did few small jumps and dont see any damaged stitching or anything, they look pretty solid. Im not fan of 'shoe' shape of those bags though, and they dont look good when are empty and lack some system to properly keep them tight and as narrow as possible when they are empty

Wtf with this shit song

Machine

Can u give where is entry road in trossach park ? That you been ?

I have installed the KTM OEM case carrier luggage rack on my bike to protect the muffler/exhaust. I’m considering to taking them off now to reduce the weight. What is your experience with crashing on the exhaust side?

Bruh you call that hill? I walk more distance than that to take a dump :D Would love to see a long and variable route on a hill

Great effort after your incident on the bike bro .Keep it going awesome .

If you decide to organise rideouts, i would be very well interested.

Did you get permission to ride on that private property? You can tell it’s private by the big gate. If not you just videoed yourself breaking the law. BTW people got arrested for riding on the bing at Broxburn you put on another video, which is also private property. You’re going to get people into trouble mate!

Take manufacture maintenance intervals and cut them in half. For any manufacturer. I had a KTM, and I have a kawasaki I think both of them say to change oil at 8,000 mile intervals. You gotta be insane to do that. I wouldnt do that to a car. I usually do my bikes about every 2,000 miles, and my car every 3,000 miles, and keep up on your valve adjustments.

I have an 890 and love this bike! Had it for two years with over 7000miles. Followed all run in procedures, service intervals and honestly she has had no issues. Made a few upgrades to the bike and contemplating the air intake. Maybe I’m the lucky one with no issues but did not have issues with my 300 exc in the past.

That crash was messed up. The road was going weird for sure but your choice of line in an unknown road was questionable

600km on mine and fucin stearing bearings are loose. How it could be my fault?

"Please, look my muscles"

From what i can gather, its the camshafts failing on them. My knowledge on camshafts is that they only take a very short time to run in ie a few hours. They are not like pistons that need to bed in over nany miles. They also run in at higher revs because running at tick over puts more stress on the surfaces. I think the issues that most people are having are genuine issues that KTM needs to sort.

Love how to break in your motorcycle commentary's. Fact is your engine was ran full hard at the factory before you even got your grubby mitts on it. Ran a brand new 1190R hard from day one for 40K klms just regular maintenance, didn't miss a beat, didn't use oil, with only a couple of valves needing clearance adjustment at the 30K service. Would I buy a 7/890, not a chance in hell.

While i understand where your coming from i dont completely agree. I know people that don't properly service their 7/890's and have never had a issue, and others that use a dealer and have had a string of problems My first KTMs were 1993/94 SX125's, that was the early days of shedding a reputation for unreliability and ktm has done a marvelous job to top the market since then. I've had a mix of jap and euro since then. However ktm are earning and deserving a bad reputation for refusing to sort issues that other marques would issue recalls for or warranty. As for running in, I ran my 890 in like I've run in every bike/ car road or race engine I've had or built over the last 40+ years. Ktms method is an arse covering exercise. At Japanese factory's each bike is run through a full rpm range up and down the box on the rollers as it leaves the production line, they aren't as fragile as people think. Yes there are the nuggets that thrash engines from cold, sit at a fixed rpm for the whole break in period only to suddenly unleash it at that magic mileage number (clueless), those who sit and idle an engine from cold for ten mins before riding and other things they do that don't help beak in and engine life expectancy. Build tolerances are critical and an engine can run flat out from new if built correctly....which is where ktm are seeming to vary wildly. Parts falling off these bikes isn't a factory issue, its a dealer issue as they carry out a PDI and have a small amount of components to assemble out of the crate. I experienced a loose skid plate despite waiting a week on delivery for the PDI, i would rather have had the bike arrive in a crate and go through the whole thing myself, but its a liability and warranty requirement. Lesson for those that moan about their KTM falling to bits - dont take it for granted that a PDI is your insurance from loose or impending loose parts. It is YOUR responsibility as the operator to check for loose parts before and after each ride. All my issues so far have been random electrical problems, all related to the crap bosch euro 5 ecu. Mechanically its been sound 🤞, its been thrashed to death but is still relatively low mileage. I too dont get the high mileage in due to my job, but there is a huge list of people that have followed KTMs schedule to the letter and have had 2k + bills to repair with substantial down time after KTM refused to warranty failures that quite frankly are KTMs problem. As for bikes sitting at a dealer for months awaiting repair/resolution, well thats just unacceptable. Camshafts on both 7/890 models regardless of S/R or Rally failing around the 16k mark is pitiful but yet ktm still reject many claims even on fully dealer serviced bikes. Immobilizer issues, starting on one cylinder, poor idling, random 02 engine codes with misfire, complete flame out when closing the throttle to name just a few of the problems THOUSANDS of owners are experiencing. Then add in leaking fork seals on bikes that have never seen the dirt, shocks leaking, crankshaft seals leaking, faulty m/c on the early bikes, tft going black... I've had lambda faults, immobilizer faults, starting problems and idle misfires, none of which prevented the bike from running and were more of a pita than anything else. However the random flame outs that nearly caused me to crash were scary and unexplained by ktm. Ktm usa even advised to run lower octane fuel to cover up shortcomings in the overly lean mapping... Decatting and remapping the ecu sorted the stalling and 02 issues - probably as it ignores the 02 now and actually gets a decent air fuel ratio that enables it run better and cooler (stock fuelling was leaning into the high 16's ! ) MTC failure warning no longer happens as its bypassed along with the ABS which is a menace. I used the dealer to get the measley one year warranty but will not use the dealer now. I check camshaft clearance at 8k interval's and my oil changes are done at 1200 miles. The running issues last year i ended sorting with a third party after the dealer wanted to keep the bike to look at, but on the same hand admitted i had already done everything that they would have checked 🤔 An exercise in taking my hard earned money. Despite these issues its a keeper and there's nothing on the later versions of any significant thay would prompt me to get another. The list of mods to mine goes way beyond a few bolt on parts, with bespoke aluminum and carbon components, suspension mods and huge weight savings and is all listed in the lightweight thread on advrider. At near 180 kg with fuel is a far cry from the truck like 196kg dry weight of the std R model. As for the ready to race bs, nice one ktm for asking 600 quid more on top of a 13k bike just to get it to function as advertised in the promo videos. Ktm will start to loose sales this year to the likes of Kove that are providing what the customers are asking for. As for reliability, well the majority of ktm parts come from china anyway. I hope ktm as a company take a stock of their poor customer service as most of their dealers are excellent but their hands are tied. Sorry if it comes across as a rant, its not meant to, ( just woke up after a nightshift 🤗) But yeah, the bikes are damn solid and have a lot going for them when everything is going well. But because of ktms lack of support they can be an expensive nightmare for some poor folks when things prematurely wear out or other gremlins get in there and the reason why ktm continues to loose more sales to other marques Thankfully I'm in a position to ba able to carry out my own work, be it an engine rebuild or suspension revalve, otherwise if I'd had to rely on the dealer the 890 would have gone a long time ago...

Impressive to see you survived that crash without breaking any bones !

With respect, 2000 miles in two years is hardly RTW stuff. The 890 is well known for having issues, are they issues that are deal breakers, that depends on the owner but these self same owners will be the ones you are mentioning so they've every right to complain.

o shit.. 😯

That crash was bad man. Luckily and thanks to your gear you got out ok. Nice video and content. You got a new subscriber.

Interesting, just discovered your channel. Like the content, thanks for that! I’m not sure if you’re putting in the captions due to your accent, but it’s actually not necessary and a little bit in the way of the video. I can activate TH-cam cc if needed, I’d stop with the yellow captions. Just my 5 cents, great video otherwise and happy that you didn’t get injured.

Wow you came off much better than itchy boots! Glad you are ok

Man that crash, i felt it like i was there.

Christ on a bike that was a heavy tumble 😮

Lucky escape big man. Reinforces the necessity to inform family/friends/rescue of our route and when we are due back/arrive RV points. Speedy recovery action man!!!
