Had a water leak on my 22 1290S, this video was fantastic in helping me to strip the bike down , found the leak ,it was just a hose clip, now I have the confidence in mounting electrics as well - thanks
Very helpful and detailed explanation. I’ve stripped and maintained my 2019 SAS but I have to say I wasn’t looking forward to pulling this one apart but you gave me all the info I needed to make whipping the tank off nice and easy. Thank you.
Thank you so much Steve for this video. 100% happier having seen this walk through of the process! I’d add that the 1290 SAS manual in PDF format is available from the KTM website - useful for confirming any torque settings during reassembly. Thanks again for a great video 👍🏻
Masterful they way you go about the arduous task of installations. Always methodical, clean and organized. You leave owners absolutely confident in getting their bikes back impeccable once serviced by your shop. Well done mate.
Got all my Denali stuff and hexcan ready to go. Just waiting for my shipment from you including a Sky Lift and all the goodies for my 1290 SAS! Thanks so much for sharing and I feel way more confident now to attack this project!
I own a '22 SAS and I had my dealer do the initial wiring of my Garmin and aux lights as I was unsure of the tear down process and didn't want to cock up my new bike. After watching your video, I'll be more apt to do the work myself in the future. Thanks for another excellent presentation!
What a brilliant video, thank you so much! I just got myself a 1290 S with a coolant leak, likely from the hose at the water-pump located behind the tank. Dreaded taking the tank of to access it to it but thank to this vid I don't anymore! 😊
This video was a great! Helped me a ton getting my Garmin mounted and powered. Ordered my tank bag from you guys to show my appreciation for the work you did here.
Very helpful video. Videos like this and the simple bike specific mounts you sell for the KTM SAS is why I purchased my lights from you even though I'm in the states. Well done!
That is crazy how much work it takes to remove the tank. Looks time consuming. I glad you created this video... That will help when the time comes to replace the air filter and spark plugs.
Hello What is this hose that is plugged with a metal screw on 19:55 "the one pointing down"? I thought it was the fuel tank gas release, but I'm probably wrong. My bike is often showings pressure on the tank when I open the cup, so i though that this hose closed was the issue...
Great video thanks very much much - I gotta say I hate all the complicated plastic panels with literally 100s of screws - especially hate seeing Phillips self tapping screws on any plastics - I’d love to see an adventure bike with simple plastics like what you see on a motocross bike - all holes should have a metal collared bushing - all we need is side radiator panels, radiator guards, a fairing and a screen - that’s it! Basically a Dakar bike approach - only what’s needed 😊
Fantastic instruction just followed your strip down all went well needed to tighten jubilee clip on water hose Thankyou so much.Perhaps you can help me with the button under the right panel what is it what does it do. Thanks in advance.
Great! Now I understand why I had to pay 100€ for the installation of the satnav cable :-o It's kinda genius how everything fits, yet a little complex if don't do it often. Changing the spark plugs will cost me a little fortune. I'm glad they last very long.
Great video,informative and detailed,don’t forget there is a seat release pull behind the right hand seat panel just put you finger in the loop and pull 👍
Hi Steve how is live, I have a question , I'm installing a DialDim on a KTM super adventure 2022 now where I can find the wires for triggering the hi beam and the horn . Thanks for teaching us many things on how to make pro installations and the effort and dedication for each video you make Well Done
If Triumph were quicker off the mark, I would be riding a 1200 Tiger GT Pro Explorer. Not waiting until they get these in the showrooms, I bought a new KTM 1290 Super adventure S. Just back from Europe and this bike is awesome. (From an ex BMW R1200 GSA)
I have a 2019, KTM 1290SAR, I removed the tank last year to install a Garmin Zumo to the EZCAN. I have just put my bike in to a KTM Dealership to install 2 pairs of D3 and dial dim...they just sent pics of the job...its awful. They routed the light wiring from the D3s around the upper and lower crash bars held in place by elastic type fasteners! Terrible job. I told them why didn't you place wiring under the tank along the frame and they said it's not possible, I called BS this story is still ongoing!
Hi steve happy holidays!!! Have a question installed the d4 on my 1290 sas with the ezcan, with what controls do i turn off the d4s ? Ive seen other vids you keep pushing some buttons and they come on or off, thanks for the help🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hi Steve - is the new Tiger 1200 running a CanBus system for the Denali EasyCan setup?? I'm considering the same bike you have but not available (In Australia) yet.. Looking forward to your vid on the Trumpy..!!
What planet are KTM on. This ia so complex just to take a tank off to route some cables!!!! I have the 2016 KTM SA, The tank take off to fit my Garmin SatNav to the bike. I was looking to change this year, but I think I will just stick with this 'Brilliant' first and last KTM. If you can pick yourself up a £8k low miles, one owner 2016 model... go for it. You won't regret it. But the new ones are way too complex, than a bike needs to be. And don't get me started on Software purchase packs after so many miles. Rant over. Old Honda VFR next bike.
Ah you got me! 😜. I’ve actually attempted this video a few times. First time on my own bike but it was too obvious it was my first time. Done a fair few in the past 6 months which makes the editing a lot less frustrating on this recent video.
Hi, thanks for this video, I'd like to ask you some questions regarding a1290, do you perhaps, mind if I could communicate with you via email so I can email through some visuals?
Thanks for the strip-down, that was really cool to see. If you want further 1290SAS howtos, look up YT channel 'ricardo_yeep'.Anyway, you got a new sub 🙂
I'm so glad this video exists!

Great video, I would be very happy to strip down now, screw by screw is very useful.
Did mine yesterday, great being able to view the correct removal methods. Spot on thanks.
Such a useful video. Thanks for giving this level of detail, gives confidence to beginners like me.
Very good explanation en filming, installing whatever wiring without any stress now, thanks very much!
Awesome video, thanks. Fitting some spotlights and a Denali sound bomb tomorrow.

Great to see the progress! Love your detailed view on each and every single screw! Well done!!!

Hello
What is this hose that is plugged with a metal screw on 19:55 "the one pointing down"?
I thought it was the fuel tank gas release, but I'm probably wrong.
My bike is often showings pressure on the tank when I open the cup, so i though that this hose closed was the issue...
This video was great. Thanks!! Although watching in reverse when i had to put everything back was a not as much fun 😅
You are a great engineer💪🏻
Excellent job of step by step process and gives any owner loads of confidence. Many thanks!!
Great video thanks very much much - I gotta say I hate all the complicated plastic panels with literally 100s of screws - especially hate seeing Phillips self tapping screws on any plastics - I’d love to see an adventure bike with simple plastics like what you see on a motocross bike - all holes should have a metal collared bushing - all we need is side radiator panels, radiator guards, a fairing and a screen - that’s it!

Thank you for this amazing resource!!
Great step by step video! It has definitely given me the confidence to strip mine down when I need to! Cheers Lee
This body work is enough for me to get rid of my 1290R.Just to change a spark plug will be a night mare.Thks for this video.
Thank you for all of the work you put in to this video. Very helpful
love it. Wow I do not think i could do it, fair play
Brilliant, thanks for your time. Well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome, so much detail to reference back to when you get lost. I wish there was an easy way to play the tutorial backwards 😜
Excellent, I want to get my tank sides off to go get paint protection film installed. This will definitely help.
useful video for getting to the air box for a filter change too;)
Fantastic instruction just followed your strip down all went well needed to tighten jubilee clip on water hose Thankyou so much.Perhaps you can help me with the button under the right panel what is it what does it do. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for such detail , just took my own sas apart to hook up a Zumo xt , I hope I can put it back together😢
Great video,informative and detailed,don’t forget there is a seat release pull behind the right hand seat panel just put you finger in the loop and pull 👍
I know but I did forget to mention it.
Good video, very useful. Gonna install some lights so this was informativ

Excellent vid!
Good to see how it's done. Can you tell me what bike stand you are using please
Hi Steve
I can't seem to find the next video of the actual install of all the Denali products. Did you make one for that? Thanks
Fantástico despiece, parece la KTM más sencilla que la GS, al menos los tornillos son todos iguales en cada pieza. Gracias por compartir el video!!
thanks for the detailed view , very helpful!
Brilliant video.
thank you!you are excellent.should i know the values of the screws torq when i want To pick up again the pieces I dismantled
Briljant video!
what sort of jack are you using? Great video BTW
Wow, thanks for sharing this. Not much worse than my 1090.
Well done!!
Great job!

Disappointing
That looks so complicated from my stand point. What is the easiest bike to wire?
1290s , GS or 1200Tiger ?
Thanx a ton for doing this!
nice showing stev
Thanks. Good effort and a benefit to me. Cheers
Great video really helpful 👍
Hi steve happy holidays!!! Have a question installed the d4 on my 1290 sas with the ezcan, with what controls do i turn off the d4s ? Ive seen other vids you keep pushing some buttons and they come on or off, thanks for the help🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Email us for this kind of support. Start email of telling us what year SAS you have too
Great video, thank you so much
Thank you!
Pls do 1290SAR soon! Great vid. Liked and Sub'd!

Hi Steve - is the new Tiger 1200 running a CanBus system for the Denali EasyCan setup?? I'm considering the same bike you have but not available (In Australia) yet.. Looking forward to your vid on the Trumpy..!!
We’re working on it today. Posts on Instagram
Saviour, I forgot where the longer T30's went😵
Great video...and I don't even own a KTM lol

Old Honda VFR next bike.
I think you make these videos so that you don't forget where each bolt goes for when you need to put it back together again😅
Ah you got me! 😜. I’ve actually attempted this video a few times. First time on my own bike but it was too obvious it was my first time. Done a fair few in the past 6 months which makes the editing a lot less frustrating on this recent video.
I was doing fine until the windscreen
Absolutely not! I'd rather pay you!!😂
Hi, thanks for this video, I'd like to ask you some questions regarding a1290, do you perhaps, mind if I could communicate with you via email so I can email through some visuals?
Sure. My email is in the bottom of the description
Yikes !
not a hope
Thanks for the strip-down, that was really cool to see. If you want further 1290SAS howtos, look up YT channel 'ricardo_yeep'.Anyway, you got a new sub 🙂
