Soooo surprised this video is about to hit 30k! Never expected this, thank you for watching it. Please subscribe if you would like to see more motorbike & travel content. More subscribers = more motivation for me to produce something better ;)
I visited this lovely Road with my Husqvarna Svartpilen this year. Next year i'll be back again with the KTM 390 Adventure. I am so exited already ! Thank you for this insight :) Btw. i drove from the other side up to the mountain (Heiligenblut) and stayed over night at the mountain in a shelter on the "Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe" . Had so much fun! Please if you visit the Großglockner, take your time! Don't rush through!
Great vid! just bought on two weeks ago and love it. First bike in 30 yrs so that says something. Exhaust will be first mod shortly otherwise a super fun bike!
I bought mine last week, like you the exhaust was the first thing that had to go, stock sound sucks 😂 and the horn 🙄 seriously 😳 thats next! Ride safe!
Super video ! Ich habe ein Ktm 390 Adv,Das motorrad ist sehr gut! Nechste jahr ich mochte viel motorrad fahren Austria. /Gross,Malta,Nockalmstrasse...../ Liebe Grusse Sala aus Ungarn!
Thanks for sharing Rudolf, nice video and recording sound. May I ask what do you think about KTM 390 Adventure for riding in such road conditions, decent enough power? I am a fan of KTM 390 Adventure and waiting for the launching in my country (They postponed the grand event due to Covid-19), cannot wait to test ride it.
Hello & sorry for replying so late. Despite it might be not useful. I believe KTM has definitely decent power for smaller roads like these. You can even do highway slightly above 130 km/h cruising, but anything above you definitely literally squeezing power out of it. Yes, there are more power-full bikes, but it has enough power to deliver smile. Great bike to have fun, while staying within legal limits.
Great video Rudolf! I read that you captured the sound with a RØDE microphone near the exhaust. How did you mounted it and how come there is no aerodynamic noise? Did you use any fur windshield?
Yes I have recorded it to Røde Smartlav+ Lavalier (without any adjustments to mic). It was just taped with black solid tape on the back of the original KTM pannier, then cable run (also taped on some points for security) into panniers & recorded on Samsung S8 (I think). Honestly I am quite surprised by outcome to, because I managed to destroy that mic and replaced by Saramonic Lav, then connected to Røde Wireless Go which transmits it directly to DJI Action cam (which I used even here, I just got tried of syncing) and result is not that good - and now I am not sure if it is Saramonic Mic, Transmitter (due to volume management, despite I tried all 3 settings) or fact that I am recording it directly DJI Action cam. I even tried to record on Røde Wireless Go under the seat of Ducati second bike) and again not sure about the result. Last week I realised that I had wind noice cancelation on DJI on - which might have caused troubles, however I just need to experiment further, however winter is coming to Europe and I might not have chance to do it until March/April.... Will try to keep you posted if you subscribe ;)
WOW! Great you liked it so much. I have actually two potential videos in pipeline: review of this KTM, similar video of this one with Ducati Scrambler - just can not get to same location at the moment so would have to use local roads :)
Kambojas Kambo LMAO - Yeah for sure I will definitely spend hours replacing simple video with sound of something else so it matches revs and gear shifts :)))
@Kambojas Kambo dude, you are hilarious! I hope you are trolling. As Rudolf said, for replacing the original single cylinder's sound with a 2-cylinder one, it would take 1 hour to synchronise for just 1 minute of video. But I am sure that Rudolf has a super duper AI adaptive-learning software that does that while he is enjoying riding his bike.
The exhaust is stock. In that video - I think I use quickshifter quite often. The one KTM 390 Adventure, is more on agricultural side of mechanics, rather then rafined Swiss watch approach, but it works in 99% of occasions. I have actually bought bike without it, but after I realised how much more often you change gears on these small displacements - I decide to put it in. Then if I remember correctly even KTM dealer advised not to overuse it, but I don’t know my pattern of using it - it just comes naturally :) Would I recommend quickshiter for this bike? Yes, I would. ;)
Thank you, you are right I shift like a pig here! Anyway, could you please suggest how to improve my shifting skills? Or would you even be willing to teach me how to do it properly?
@@rudolfkrcmar easy, pal ! Here's my way to upshift : When in motion, say in any gear, while you're revving it up just load the shift lever a bit, next when you reach your desired rpm simply and quickly close and open the throttle without using the clutch and holding the same load on the lever. To downshift : while in motion close the throttle, load the shift lever a bit and, at the same moment, quickly pull and release the clutch while open and shut the throttle. The gears should pass smooth and you'll get the trick soon ! If the bike has a quickshifter I'll only say it works better at high rpm. Buenas rutas !
@@rudolfkrcmar then, as I said, try to change at more high rpm. Don't close or move the throttle when upshift (16:32) and keep it close while downshift.
Yes 100% stock, this is just good mic position. In real I do not find sound note impressive at all :) especially when comparing it to Termignoni on my Ducati Scrambler :)))
Yeah agree with you 100%! This was just spontaneous recording and idea to put it on TH-cam honestly I was expecting max 1000 views in 1 year! So this is very nice surprise for me & motivates me to start creating more content as well as bring it to next level. Feel free to subscribe - that is push I need! :)
It is 250 EUR extra. It isn’t the best one, but that is definitely an accessory I would recommend since on this displacement you have to do quite a lot of shifting.
@@rudolfkrcmar Thank you for the quick response! I am thinking about buying one, because I'm 1,87m tall and I think it's a good bike for tall people in this price range.
@@Taliinburged completely stock. Only change I was considering in that department was Akrapovic, but was not impressed with sound of it. So exhaust system is 100% stock ;)
@@wüstenrufer Although many people do work for 50 ct/hr, but manufacturing of such high tech commodities are done by highly trained professionals, who are paid good. Even Jaguar Land Rovers are made in India. You cant make a illiterate worker make such high end stuff. Dont believe everything what the media tells you.
@@wüstenrufer living expenses and salary standards go hand in hand. People may be getting paid 50ct/hour but a simple meal also costs less than a dollar.
It's Austria not India. There are rules to follow. Moreover, respect the fellow commuters and cyclists. Plus the steep heights and curves of the Alps with the plush roads. A bike of this capacity will always struggle to keep up with the traffic.

KTM, Glock and Manner are my favorite Austrian brands :-D Nice bike, I'm going to buy one this month.

You guys are so lucky to have gotten customised front suspension.
Those corners with KTM
I just love this little K, even though i think i'll get the T7...
Least expensive bike w cornering abs and traction control.
Maybe not that durable
@@okolokolokolokolokolo941 well 13,000 km down...still working fine.
Exactly. Should have a cruise control as an option as well! Icing on the cake.
And quickshifter
@@okolokolokolokolokolo941it is, go cry
Just now subscribed... i wish you all the best to ur future videos and also subscribers .
Those constant shift up and downs, takes away all the fun.
Super video !

Nice smoothly roads bro
great video! subscribing you for more long videos like this! please keep them coming.
WOW! Great you liked it so much. I have actually two potential videos in pipeline: review of this KTM, similar video of this one with Ducati Scrambler - just can not get to same location at the moment so would have to use local roads :)
Did you change front/rear sprocket? You’re bike’s low end torque is great. I can hardly clock 40 kmph in 2nd gear on my KTM 390 Adv.
Nope, everything standard.
Kambojas Kambo LMAO - Yeah for sure I will definitely spend hours replacing simple video with sound of something else so it matches revs and gear shifts :)))
Kambojas Kambo dude - you should clean your ears - tell me how I would record this? I hope you are not thinking of yourself as an expert 😂

Bike lacks low end power. Wakes up at about 3500 rpm.
Hello Rudolf, is it a stock exhaust and are you using a quickshifter? Can you share us your experiences please. Thank you for this content.

Geez, and I thought I was slow going round hairpin bends. 🤣🤣🤣
Por Dios, aprendé a cambiar ! Caballito de mar !!!

@@rodolfopaulovich3017 Thats not how the quickshifter works … is it?
Nice scenery but too bad the camera view is too low.
Agree!
Amazing video......👍Which exhaust??
Good bike bro
KA40
Best ♥ 🔥
And awesome bike trully rich advaneture on a small. Size
So is your bike stock? No bar risers etc.?
Pity there was so much traffic that ride would be a blast at a faster pace!
Is this the stock exhaust? Mine sounds crap and this one sounds pretty good. ;)
Yes 100% stock, this is just good mic position. In real I do not find sound note impressive at all :) especially when comparing it to Termignoni on my Ducati Scrambler :)))
the unicorn bike.
How you can make the tft always has the black font as night?
It is in the settings
Eine Frage Ist der 390 Motor zuverlässig ?
Naja
It'll be great vdo if u kept ur camera little bit higher
Yeah agree with you 100%! This was just spontaneous recording and idea to put it on TH-cam honestly I was expecting max 1000 views in 1 year!

The camera to lower bro.. aĺl video we mostly seeing the speedometer than the views..
How much fuel is left in your tank when the gauge starts to blink?
3.5 liters
What can you say about it's durability?
How did u reach 70 in second gear?! Mine won't
No idea and I am not light (97kg) + luggage … probably the best idea is to consult it with your dealer.
It's showing kph or mph?
Kph
is it the stock exhaust ?
Is it just me or the exhaust note lacks bit of bass??
If they had given bassy exhaust, it would have been a best "stock" bike.
awful sound, actually
Did you have to pay for the Quickshifter extra or is it included in the stock price?
It is 250 EUR extra. It isn’t the best one, but that is definitely an accessory I would recommend since on this displacement you have to do quite a lot of shifting.
@@rudolfkrcmar Thank you for the quick response!
I am thinking about buying one, because I'm 1,87m tall and I think it's a good bike for tall people in this price range.
Niklas Fuchshofer I have to agree! In this price range there is nothing better -> I have tested a few. Of course depends what are your expectations.
@@rudolfkrcmar Ohh that quickshifter sounds like it will broke the gear..
@@puficapufica5187 yeah definitely not the best one I have tried :)
that is NOT the stock exhaust right ?? ;)
That IS 100% stock exhaust. Sound is about postion of microphone ;)
@@rudolfkrcmar wow ! mine sounds like a lawn mower :_)
Stock exhaust?
Yep, but honestly the sound of it is quite disappointing.
@@rudolfkrcmar you must be kidding. Not stock exhaust. U must have removed the cat and presilencer and changed the muffler
@@Taliinburged completely stock. Only change I was considering in that department was Akrapovic, but was not impressed with sound of it. So exhaust system is 100% stock ;)
Struggles a bit uphill, 100more ccm and 10 more horsepower would be nice
a biker who wasn´t there is not a biker
You carried luggage?
Yes I did why? :)
I'm thinking of buying one and I wanted to know if it has enough power to carry luggage in mountains without problems
Dennis Schonberger get one price vs. what you get is hard to beat! ;)
How do you find the quickshifter? Is it good?
It's a bit clunky, but it gets the job done. Useful to have on the highway.
Poor gearbox
сцепление?не не слышал
Quick shifter
Oida.... sorry aber... diese scheiss Radlfahrer xD
