Nice one pal. Shame about the rain 👍

Wild camping with a motor vehicle is not a thing. It is just illegal camping.

Mate that was an amazing spot you will have to text me the location as me and peaky talking about going to gallaway forest. Great vid buddy some stunning drone footage 👍🏻👍🏻

Epic video mate.

Glad you put it together!

Hello! thanks for your zx9r videos. Please tell me how much the naked engine weighs approximately, that as you remove it?

Once the factory seat breaks in, it’s fine. The CRF red on the bike is gonna fade anyway so don’t worry about the colour lol!

I took my 1190 over there today. I didn't get nearly as far up, so I went back down and did it the other way round. Just as scary going down it!

Just turn on the bike to the open fuel cap.

To get the key out of range message, you have to have the key in your pocket whilst sitting on the bike

Also can you wire in the DRL’s in the LED ones on the front

Wh`to the satnav you have pls?

The worst part is when the fob battery goes flat you can not just put another battery in..... you have to take the bike to a dealer to reset it fuck'n stupid idea

I've just watched your vlog on the navigation, can I ask why, in this video, does the turn by turn only show on your phone and not on the TFT? Thanks

I'm currently thinking of buying a 1290 Adv and this has been really useful. Thank you for putting it together.

Thank you for the tutorial. FYI the link to the indicators is not correct. I ordered from the link and they are different. Slightly but they don't fit properly. The rubber collar is not tight enough and the piece moves all over the place even with the screw tight.

This was very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks, I ordered the same seat red/black so I got to see it on your bike!

I rode it last month on my 411 Himmy, felt like a total amateur like you. 45 years rode riding, off road virgin, even though I'm a good MTB rider.

Thanks for great videos, i was thinking about changing the fairings only and i dont know what happened, i just found myself with fully stripped down zx9r(e1) 😄😄 will do full renovation hopefully finishes one day🤞🏾 im exited to see more videos from you good luck

No its not just leting go handle bars its slways doing it

The “star” at 12:08 was me. Ace road. Hard enough on my 701 so respect for doing it on an SAS. 👏👏

Hello mate where did you buy the contr support for your Dji drone ? Thx

Hi, how many miles did you get out of the Metzeler Tourance tyres

Wobble? Is the front fork bearing loose? classic issue on the 2017>

Fair play mate. The biggest bike I've taken over there is an XT660. I've not been keen enough to take my 1290 over there, yet. Well done fella 👏👏👏

Totally respectable ride! I struggled up exactly the same type of conditions recently, and you're carrying at least another 30kg in weight. In terms of keeping momentum, consider the traction control. The KTM offroad mode is very good, but I find its a bit sneaky in scrubbing speed when its very loose uphill so it can be hard to push the bike beyond slow speed mode in some conditions. Traction control can only manage the traction you have. Another tip is invest your traction, when do have grip, push a little harder so you can ease off where theres none. Don't be too scared when you're going in a straight line, and take necessary changes in direction nice and smooth. I'm actually switching the STR out soon, but I agree they are a good all around tire. Bit of limitation in that type of uphill, and in the mud, in my experience, but can definitely be overcome with good technique.

Couple of pointers - the STR's are def not up to the task - the standard Rally is better as deeper tread but would not be my choice. Momentum and your position on the bike will also make a huge difference - look through any obstacle and you need to be carrying far more speed up hills with your eyes a good 30 metres ahead all the time. By paddling you are unweighting the pegs - this then in turn takes the weight off the rear tyre and lessens grip. Be worth a day or weekend at sweet lamb adventure bike school with the guys there and they'll teach you the skills to get out on the trails safer and easier with a few bike changes. Great road that.

Great vid but more speed like you say but it all takes time and practice and you’ll get there that Ktm isn’t really the right bike for the job I’ve had 3 adventure 2 1290’s and 1190 they are way to heavy for that type of riding for me especially on where you have loose rocks stones it struggles for grip I always said a enduro be better as you know anyway but as you said you’ve got 2 bikes in one and that’s where the 1290 comes into its own on the road I loved them still miss mine so much I’ve changed direction now and bought a new triumph rocket 3gt and loving it but always thinking about another 1290 it’s in my blood you done we’ll mate congrats to you shame about the drone take care ride safe

Great vid pal some stunning footage too. Looked sketchy nice job 👍🏻👍🏻

What’s the cost of those tyres

Please don’t hone these cylinders I’m 90% sure these are coated

Let me know if you’re not past the point of no return or if you have any questions. I’ve had my 2001 for years and completed much of this work. FYI with th3 valve maintenance complete I got 210/210/220/220 on my compression test. These engines have lined cylinders, they cannot to my knowledge be honed.

Good luck too, Ive recently done a zx7r with a jumpy gearbox, bent selector fork. zx9 is like exactly the same looking at its guts.

Personally I think you're making ALOT of unnecessary work. You should have put oil in each cyl first overnight. That will give you a accurate reading. also, please throw your Ali-Express screw in comp tester away, the hose swells and stuffs the reading, as well as not sealing.

I would not paint it. Just clean everything. Engine cool down is better without any paint.

Hello, this is the main key. What is the purpose of the small key?

I'm doing this exact same thing to my 2001 zx6r, currently the bike is fully spripped, engine is fully stripped (I'm a qualified engine machinist of 20 years) and have started stripping the paint in the frame for some repairs then new paint, complete engine build, new fairing kit and some aftermarket parts.

I´ve buyed the indicators but unfortunately don´t fit on my crf 300l.Do you know any adaptador?

Do you have a video explaining the locking cylinder change?

Had mine for a year now, and it's just great. Everytime I ride it, I'm just Loving it. 25000 km , and no worries so far

Your engine looks really good. Aside from the stuff you already know. I’m currently rebuilding a crashed 99 zx9r. Always enjoy working on these bikes.

Thanks for the walkthrough! - All the information needed in an instant, which is a lot more than can be had from the user manual that is currently listed a "not currently available" when logging into the "personal garage" on KTM's website 😄

Regarding the occasional electronics warnings, I read somewhere else that if you leave the bike for 20-30 seconds before starting it, the warnings don’t happen. Something to do with letting the startup procedure finish properly. Since I’ve followed that, I’ve not had an issue. On the filler cap thing, I’ve never had that problem 💁‍♂️

Change your key fob battery. You will then get the warning. Keyfob out of range.

Awesome mate..thanks for the info about the fob. I was scratching my head not knowing how to start the bike

It does show speed limits when you pay subscription. I find that the link with the bike is easy and reliable and the guidance clear. It’s not always good at finding places when you search for them. Altogether it’s not too bad but I would much prefer to be able to display directions from a 3rd party app like Google Maps or Calimoto and think KTM should offer this rather than providing a KTM branded app.

Thank a lot for the video, which rack have you mounted up? Thanks

Hi, My 1290 Sas has now 17‘000km and it’s a lot of fun. The negative details you mentioned I have seen these, too, but after getting used to it, who really cares? The important things are the outstanding engine, the excellent suspension, the very comfortable ACC, etc. I only once had an issue and it was my fault: very first ride out in spring, the battery was super weak, and unfortunately I switched the engine off shortly after leaving home. But I had a charger in the top case, and after 40‘ charging at a local shop, it started again, and later that day I fully charged the battery for a few hours No issues at all sice then! Very reliable bike in my view. I can’t speak for others, but some of my BMW friends (we are crossing the Alps, doing long tours together) seem to have more technical issues than I. All the best 😀
