The torque and HP figures are in a different rpm range than a 790 so you will have to re-flash or recalibrate the quick shifter to run with the different power band pattern curve or get a 890 ECU module, and I would definitely change out the oil and oil filters and oil screens asap. Awesome videos on this project and I love following this 790 to 890 engine swap.

These are films to watch in the future to come. Well done sir!

Really good, well made film. But, if you ask me, leave the "music" out. You don't need it. Well, I do not need it! It's only noise. Thank you! Oh, and the manual can be bought through KTM both online and as a book. Highly recommended.

Me alegra ver que el proyecto está bien encaminado: arranca!!! 👍🏻 Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

En mi Ktm 790 adv S 2022 (Argentina) rompí los dos pistones como te paso a ti (en mi caso también cilindros y las válvulas tuvieron que ser reemplazados) Te consulto: Que programa de Power Commander V tenías instalado? Advence Ignition? Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

Excelente trabajo de investigación de la dichosa fugas del termostato.Curioso que los tornillos sean demasiado largos para poder aplicar un buen apriete, A mi también me dio problemas de fuga, yo lo solucione aplicando silicona termica en el codo. Excelente trabajo!! eres un referente para los que amamos esta maquina.

Really interesting films. Highly appreciated!

Amazing cool project!

well done m8 should be well happy

Hi, you probably have one, but if not I have full printed workshop manual for 890 Adv you could have.

did you say earlier you were running a smaller front sprocket would that be a factor towards swing arm chain clearance/damage. thanks for the vid maybe a tad to repetitive but a great resource for those future swappers.

well done good luck with your project thanks for documenting

Great job getting it all finished off and started 👍🏻. That coolant leak has been annoying me I’ve tightened everything and still couldn’t figure it out thank you for the update on that. Now I know what I need to do to stop that 👍🏻. Do you have the updated part numbers for the thermostat and the housing part still ?

Can't wait to see the results from the mapping just to see if ktm has a different map between the 2 or the ecu is clever enough that it can run both. Thanks for trying all this out for us with yet to be problems, I've got a non adventure 790 2018 I'm guessing it's pretty much the same deal

I feel a deep empathy for people that had a bike that that suffered these issues in earlier model years. I hope you'll get the issue sorted or compensated for, as KTM seems to finally be doing. I've put 15,000 miles (25,000 km) on my 23' 890R in the last year with no issues. My trip last summer alone was 10,000 miles, camping off the bike for 4 months. I've ridden over many mountain ranges and deserts with her in the US and the bike has been amazing! Death Valley, jeep roads over the Rockies in Colorado, Baja Mexico and everything in between. I can't imagine having a bike as capable as this for the terrain that i've put it through. This is my first KTM. I had japanese bikes for the last 42 years. I know that there have been issues that KTM is finally addressing after much frustration. I just felt the need to add my voice that my bike has been mind blowingly amazing and that they are not all swiss cheese cams waiting to strand you somewhere, There have been a lot of loud voices, and maybe for good reason, considering their dissatisfaction from KTM's response to the very real issues with earlier models. But I hope that they will get past this issue as the bike is so uniquely capable of being such a great all round world traveler. As a side note: I brought my bike to Solid Performance in PA which does the suspension work on Chris Birch's bike. They did a valve adjustment and inspection on my bike at 13,000 miles, partly because I became concerned about camshaft wear read about on the forums. I was told the top end was in perfect condition and the valves were all nearly in spec. Bonus, thye serviced my Wp suspension and dialed it in for my riding style and weight. I ride this bike hard and often get her wet over my boots doing water crossings. I treat her good and do good maintenance to keep her happy. This is the best off road/tour the country/take a trip down to mexico on dirt roads/do it all motorcycle I've ever owned. Whatever you ride, get out and do it more often. It's easy to couch surf. Turn off the tube and get out there. Life is for the living...

Ese motor se nuevo.

Gran trabajo sobre esa ktm 790, probablemente eres el tipo que mas información esta lanzando sobre el LC8c. Te sigo desde España

First episode I've watched, I'll subscribe and watch the rest as its a great watch. Shame you have ordered the headers, I bought both my 890R's with full Akra systems so have two brand new exhausts in the garage

Often wondered what it would take to upgrade my 790 duke to an 890. So are you still using the 790 ecu and map on the 890 motor?

My 2023 790 Duke has the radii and an additional truss in that area.

Go with a Dimsport Rapid Bike EVO module and you won't lose cruise control

I don’t understand Why people try to remove right bolt of the swingarm, there s left bolt and it is very easy and not dangerous

Just went and checked my 2021 890 Duke R....yes that is the correct orientation for the header nuts. The 790 and 890 have different radiators. The 890 radiator is larger. Enjoying following this, Thank You for sharing! You are doing an incredible job of cleaning as you go along. It will be like you have a new bike! Also, as a Texan who has some Scottish ancestry and a Scottish name (Gillie)...I'm enjoying the accent!

I love this project! Did you have to change the complete wiring harness? I was thinking to a swap like that but the idea of changing engine/wiring harness + the ECU and key fob for the immobilizer issue was a bit too much.

Wow wat a project ! I would just buy a 890 adventure (ok there is no R) . Respect ! I own a 2015 1290 R Superduke , a 2023 Duke 890R and a 2022 Duke 390 for my wife .

01:25 "It's had more oil go through it than P Diddy's hands on a Friday night" LOLLLLLL

Good job! Keep us updated💪

I’ll be back home tomorrow from work and I can check the knock sensor but I’m pretty sure from memory my 890r engine didn’t have that fitted. My 890r engine was a 2021 model. Good job on not trying to switch the map sensor either, I tried that and and they can’t be swapped over the underneath where it connects to the throttle body is also different 👍🏻

Since both the Adventure and the Duke R have the same engine same Cams and throttle body...I wonder what was done to give the Duke R 15 more hp while still matching the torque of the Adventure?

Done over 500 miles on mine now and still going great 👍🏻 thanks for the mention 🙂 look forward to seeing how yours goes. I’m getting mine remapped next month to see what difference that makes as I still have the 790 ECU fitted

Hi I’m following as going through the cam shaft problem and have considered Buying another engine and making it more bomb proof with mods as I like the bike. How much did you pay for the duke unit. Thanks
