Yep they really are improving in terms of quality for sure. Only issues is the huge disparity in the dealer network - some are fantastic, others are horrendous. If you find a good one then you’re laughing 👍
Great vid Teapot and even if not specific to myself, I was looking past both you and the KTM to get an eyeful of the Beast!!! seems like years and years have gone by since I followed that epic round the world trip, think I may just have to watch it all again........... happy days and thanks for all you do!
Thanks very much Stuart, glad you enjoyed it. Aye it’s been a while since I last through a leg over the Beast - God I miss that bike! It’d mean losing the original fairings to get her back on the road - as a lot of them are held on with bungee chords! So I doubt she’ll be back on the road again. Never say never though 😉👍
Wow, Good job sir! Really well delivered, better than so called pros...And for other news, I hope all is well with you Bruce and things have settled somewhat...
Thanks very much, very kind of you to say that! Glad you enjoyed the vid, things haven’t changed job wise I’m afraid, been told I’m not to talk about it anymore by work, apologies 😔👍
Nice explanation of KTM Ad S dash board, wondering if can do a review about suspension use and differences between set up and its results and riding feelings, regards just become a new subscriber
Hi Vagner, Thanks very much for subscribing and your comment, welcome to the channel bud. Next time I get the GT or SA on loan, I’ll do more on the various suspension setup options 👍
There used to be a “Teapot One” tea room in our village, owned and run by a couple of ex MetPol; I wonder if your paths have crossed? (In a good way, of course!) He’s a GS rider, I’m hoping for Super Adventure as my next ride, the Tiger’s getting a little tired, now. LOTS of exploring to be done up here, way north of the border!
Great review of the system and covered quite a few question points I had too. Probably only a matter of time til Yamaha etc follow suit with their own phone connectivity system.
Thanks for the vid Mr S. Heat wave? I’m in a hotel in Berwick - been on an overnight ride with a pal, and it’s wet and windy. Typical. I think my pal’s a weather jinx.
Ktm should provide this with every new bike supplied. For a percentage... If I watch it enough times even luddite me has a chance of understanding it. And that's saying something. Happy travels.
Have a question if you had a choice between 3 bikes , Suzuki 1000 Vstroom, ktm1290, and Honda Africa twin all 2018 which one you choose? (%80 roads use and %20 off-road) thanks.
Nice one Bruce great review , to the point! There are reviews that would take 30 mins over that. I would love to say you don’t need it blah blah. But it looks great to me 👍 cheers
Yeah I wasn’t expecting too much from the turn-by-turn navigation to be honest, but it’s not bad at all, especially if you a comms kit linked to your phone so you get voice command too 👍
Nice review !! However ... if you don't use a samsung ( mind you galaxy 7 and more , tested with galaxy A3 A5 and was not working ) or an iPhone....yer donzo. The compability of other phones is just hilarious...
Yeah , you would assume it would. I have the impression they focus more on superadventure bikes too. Why isn't the nav software not working on SDR's ?? Do they think at ktm that people with streetbikes don't need navigation ? :D ... so frustrating.
You can use the KTM My Ride app for turn by turn navigation, or get a phone mount from UltimateAddOns and use the Calimoto app for a complete route planner and gps 👍
Excellent video again👌 , I finde my 1290 SAS having trouble staying connected with my ride app every time I stop the engine to put on gas (or something) it doesn't automatically come on in the dashboard again which means I have to do all the pairing stuff to connect again ??? (could easily be me doing something wrong all maybe my phone is not doing well ) what are your experience?
Thanks Mikael, I’m glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for your good comment 👍 No I didn’t have any issues with the MyRide app reconnecting to the bike on start up? I just connected once when I first got the app and it did it every time I switched the bike on. Maybe try deleting the pairing and reconnecting it all again?
If I have a Dongle for my 1290 and I have my bike with ABS turned off, then I turn my ignition/dash off and then back on, will the Dongle keep ABS turned off? Or will it always turn ABS back on after the ignition/dash is turned off then on?
Blimey Andy, you’re Keen!!! 😉 Mate thank you very, very much for all your support, means the world, especially at the moment. When my professional life is going down the toilet it’s fantastic to have all the support here from you folks. Thank you each and all ❤️🙏👍
All very pretty and everything but have ktm put electronics on their warranty now or something...coz that looks a really really expensive bit of kit to have to replace next year like most ktm dashboards.
Couldn't agree more, i find it easy and functional to use! The comments about bikes getting more bells and whistles and what happens when they go wrong make me laugh, these people must still be driving round in MK2 cortina's then???
Ha Ha yeah I know, I understand why folk say that but there’s not a hope in hell most of us could ride these modern bikes anywhere near the levels we currently do, without all the electrical wizardry! I’d be straight on my arse at the first bend I’m sure! 🤣👍
And me, i have a 1986 honda vfr750 as well, goes ok but has wooden brakes and handling is non existent for a non racer like me...scary as hell after riding modern bikes!!
I’ve had a quick look on the forums and the My Ride does seem to work with the 390 BUT you have to have it enabled on our bike - if it isn’t already, then your dealership needs to unlock it, usually for a fee
teapotone cheers for the quick response. What I’ve done in the meantime is put a gps equipped cycling computer on my Duke. This is something more motorcyclist should consider. The brand I use is Whaoo.
I like a Muppet went out and bought a BMW NAV VI, pile of junk, as is TomTom, etc. GOOGLE MAPS, nuf said. Out ways the rest by a nautical mile! Don't waste your money on the premier sat nav models and paid for apps. Google Maps far better than the Garmin BMW NAV VI, etc. You even get mobile speed camera warnings live, it's through user input but hey it works. I hope this helps someone thinking of buying a Sat nav.
Apologies did I say it was illegal? Didn’t mean to, no it’s not, but unless you’re Marquez or the like I’d recommend you keep it on when riding on the road for sure
Quite simply put: The KTM My Ride DOES NOT WORK!!! The app falsely says the phone is NOT connected when in fact it is! There is no way to get past the opening screen to change any settings. KTM My Ride is absolutely worthless
Like me founder member of OF..club😉😉😉😉 how did we ever manage to ride bikes without all the electrickry. ..it's very clever but when it goes wrong and at wot cost to fix......😕😕😕....cheers from dave

I now have exactly 0 questions concerning the KTM TFT. 👍🏼 Well done Bruce. 😎
Cheers Bradley 👍
It looks brilliantly crisp and clear, this sort of stuff seems to be getting better and better all the time.
Yep manufacturers really seem to be putting the work in to their dash these days - great to see 👍
"Keep on keeping on" I watch him too. Biker bits. He's a total real life guy. No fakeness like yourself. What you see is what you get.
Thanks for this video.
I just traded my Pan America for a 2018 SAR but there was no manual so your video is immensely helpful.
Cheers for this vid... Just purchased a used bike today....
Thank you for posting. With each new generation KTMs in general seem to improve by leaps and bounds. Great competition for the likes of BMW.
Yep they really are improving in terms of quality for sure. Only issues is the huge disparity in the dealer network - some are fantastic, others are horrendous.
If you find a good one then you’re laughing 👍
Your parting comment "Remember folks to live your life - and I'll see you in the next one" always worries me!
Ha Ha, don’t worry, I’ll buy you beer.... it’s HOT down there apparently 😉🤣👍

Excellent video Bruce
U taught me 2 things I didn’t know about my bike 😂😂 and I’ve had it 2 years
Thanks again keep up the good work 👍
Ha Ha that’s brilliant Mogggggg!!!
I’ve had that before with my own bikes, never knew they had certain functions and buttons!
Glad I could help bud 👍🤣
Clever stuff there by KTM and not as complicated as I first thought. The my ride app looks particularly useful.
Cheers
Yep it’s good kit 👍
Hi there, I hope this question hasn't already been answered. My helmet loses pairing every time I turn the bike off. What am I doing wrong?
Enjoyed all the new KTM reviews from you thank you.
My pleasure bud, got the GT coming next week 🤪👍
Nice explanation of KTM Ad S dash board, wondering if can do a review about suspension use and differences between set up and its results and riding feelings, regards just become a new subscriber
Hi Vagner,
Thanks very much for subscribing and your comment, welcome to the channel bud.
Next time I get the GT or SA on loan, I’ll do more on the various suspension setup options 👍
You managed to get the turn turn to work ? Mine is rubbish
What about stability, does the KTM my ride app navigation arrows work for you all the time?
Nice wee vid Bruce and a lovely bike. If only the app could make me a off road rider all would be perfect 🤣🤣😂
Ha Ha you and me both!! 🤣👍
There used to be a “Teapot One” tea room in our village, owned and run by a couple of ex MetPol; I wonder if your paths have crossed? (In a good way, of course!)
He’s a GS rider, I’m hoping for Super Adventure as my next ride, the Tiger’s getting a little tired, now. LOTS of exploring to be done up here, way north of the border!
Navigation on my 790 adventure never worked, been into 3 different dealers, none of them have been able to help.
Blimey, wonder what’s going on there the ?
Great review of the system and covered quite a few question points I had too. Probably only a matter of time til Yamaha etc follow suit with their own phone connectivity system.
Cheers bud, yeah the connectivity is definitely something most manufacturers are utilising now 👍
Gracias.
Wow what a menu system and gear that it links to an app. Fav are a brilliant idea 💡
Yeah those 2 favourite options are awesome, really handy to have 👍
Thanks for the vid Mr S. Heat wave? I’m in a hotel in Berwick - been on an overnight ride with a pal, and it’s wet and windy. Typical. I think my pal’s a weather jinx.
Ha Ha, I filmed this about 2 weeks ago bud, it’s bloody wet out there now! 🤣👍
Oooooh! A review on the Kombi would be nice! Cheers groover ;-)
When I stop e.g for refueling the dashboard looses the BT connection with my iPhone and requires manual pairing,... super annoying.
Thank you for the video. How and when do we use the damping feature?
Ktm should provide this with every new bike supplied. For a percentage...
If I watch it enough times even luddite me has a chance of understanding it. And that's saying something.
Happy travels.
Ha Ha, WOW!!! I wish they would, I could retire then surely!! Money💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it 👍thanks hope you doin well .again another helpful video 🙋♂️
Cheers Rob,
All good bud thank you, same to yourself 🙏👍
Have a question if you had a choice between 3 bikes , Suzuki 1000 Vstroom, ktm1290, and Honda Africa twin all 2018 which one you choose? (%80 roads use and %20 off-road) thanks.
great vid stay strong all the best bud.
Can it use offline maps? Not all of us have unlimited data plans on our smartphones.
Is there an option to choose beetween light and dark theme or that is up to sensor?
Bruce, when you paired the Headset, was it to the phone or to the bike?
I genuinely can’t remember bud, think it was to the bike
Grear review. Am comparing 1250GS TFT display and 1290advS TFT. 😂😂i find myself puzzled between the two, but GS might win.
Nice one Bruce great review , to the point! There are reviews that would take 30 mins over that. I would love to say you don’t need it blah blah. But it looks great to me 👍 cheers
Ha Ha, ah a purist eh 😉
No you’re right John, we don’t need it.... but it’s lovely to look at 😉👍
Great review hope you ok teapot
Thanks Colin, I’m fine thanks bud, hope
you’re good too bud 👍
Thanks, very useful. The nav looks better than I thought it would. :-)
Yeah I wasn’t expecting too much from the turn-by-turn navigation to be honest, but it’s not bad at all, especially if you a comms kit linked to your phone so you get voice command too 👍
I have a 2019 KTM 1290 SAR and I can not get the Nav on my ride app to work. I am using a Samsung S8, any advice?
Sorry bud no, I’d just google it?
Very nice and interesting video! Can you tell me if it's possible to put gpx routes in the ktm my ride app? Thanks!
Awesome Bruce. Well explained. Now I have information I will never use! 🏍😀😀
Ha Ha you’re welcome Murt 🤣👍
Top job. Awesome beard !!😁
Ha Ha thanks Kevin 👍
Can every KTM TFT Display do navigation? I'm referring to the 790 Duke 2023, and I'm not sure, because the display looks slightly different.
Not ridden the 790 bud, check the KTM website
Nice review !! However ... if you don't use a samsung ( mind you galaxy 7 and more , tested with galaxy A3 A5 and was not working ) or an iPhone....yer donzo. The compability of other phones is just hilarious...
Good point, must admit I’d just assumed it was compatible with all major phones?
and i mean navigation wise :D ...music player is awesome ! :D
Yeah , you would assume it would. I have the impression they focus more on superadventure bikes too. Why isn't the nav software not working on SDR's ?? Do they think at ktm that people with streetbikes don't need navigation ? :D ... so frustrating.
Good man top info
How can we get navigation on the ktm duke?
You can use the KTM My Ride app for turn by turn navigation, or get a phone mount from UltimateAddOns and use the Calimoto app for a complete route planner and gps 👍
Can the App be used in pano mode?
Hi, what a nice screen
Which one do you prefer bmw or ktm?
Thanks Mohamed,
I think the KTM is more intuitive and easier to use and navigate.
But I think the BMW looks better personally.
Excellent video again👌 , I finde my 1290 SAS having trouble staying connected with my ride app every time I stop the engine to put on gas (or something) it doesn't automatically come on in the dashboard again which means I have to do all the pairing stuff to connect again ???

Maybe try deleting the pairing and reconnecting it all again?
@@teapotone Thanks, will do :-)
Your like ratio is insane
Thanks bud
If I have a Dongle for my 1290 and I have my bike with ABS turned off, then I turn my ignition/dash off and then back on, will the Dongle keep ABS turned off? Or will it always turn ABS back on after the ignition/dash is turned off then on?
Haven’t got a clue bud
I seem to have signed have for ur patreon page 👍 love ur vids great work 👍 oh yeah bought a tshirt from teespring too this morning I'm a saddo😁😂
Blimey Andy, you’re Keen!!! 😉
Mate thank you very, very much for all your support, means the world, especially at the moment.
When my professional life is going down the toilet it’s fantastic to have all the support here from you folks.
Thank you each and all ❤️🙏👍
All very pretty and everything but have ktm put electronics on their warranty now or something...coz that looks a really really expensive bit of kit to have to replace next year like most ktm dashboards.
Are heated grips on all Ktms with this display?
I think they are an extra that you Ha e to have activated I believe?
Is that a VW Bus in the background there?
Sure is
Nice 1 Bruce
Cheers 👍

Turning off our abs is illegal ? really. since when?
Apologies did I say it was illegal? Didn’t mean to, no it’s not, but unless you’re Marquez or the like I’d recommend you keep it on when riding on the road for sure
@@teapotone ah no worries. You just freaked me out abit there. Thought the government had pulled another slippery move. Sound cameras anyone?
@@Srgthe "slippery move" I see what you did there :)
Bosh! so 1980's 😀
That’s me!
Quite simply put: The KTM My Ride DOES NOT WORK!!! The app falsely says the phone is NOT connected when in fact it is! There is no way to get past the opening screen to change any settings. KTM My Ride is absolutely worthless
Great review but I'm sort of put off by the complexity, guess it's me just being an old fart.
Ha Ha, honestly bud it’s not complex at all. Fairly intuitive actually 👍
