Haha, I've nearly owned mine for a year now also so I was interested to hear your thoughts. and as soon as you mentioned the heat, I laughed because its so true. The bike is brilliant until you're off road on a hot summers day and you've got those 2 massive cylinders roasting your nuts. Spot on review, I've had exactly the same experiences with mine. Also that Akro sounds mint!
Would be nice if they didn’t tack weld the baffles in. I believe it’s loud enough, but would love to hear it without the baffles.
Fortnine did a piece on the this and he mentioned that it cooks your ass to medium rare.
Most European bikes in tune are heat pumps. My KTM feels like a cool breeze compared to my American made 117” VTwin.
I have almost 60,000 trouble free miles on my 2014 1190R. Best bike I've ever had.
Same here 48,000 miles 🤘
Thinking about buying one with 32k on it. So I shouldn't be worried?
@@neilgordon3346Any issues?
@@The_Juan_An_Only I wouldn’t worry as long as it’s been well taken care of. The only issue I’ve had is the rear brake light pressure switch. $30 repair in 10 years of ownership isn’t bad!
@@rlovell383 Yeah that's solid. The bike looks very well taken care of and has a ton of tasteful modifications
Nice video. Yes I love my 1190R, done about 25 000 km, had the oil temperature sensor changed, and needed 1 front shock seal changed.
Thanks for the honest review.
Great review. +1 for the Colorado scenery.
Glad you enjoyed it
great honest review
Great review like your honesty
Glad you enjoyed
Good video on the 1190. You’ve done some good riding in a year’s time.
I just traded my Pan America for a 2018 1290 Super Adventure R that my local dealer had gotten in on a Pan Am trade, quite a while ago. About 4k on the clock. Can’t wait to ride the beast. I could already tell that the 21” front tire handles quite a bit differently than the 19” on the Pan Am.
The KTM wasn’t even on my radar, I was wanting less electronics after the Pan Am.
I think I’ll like the 1290 for my needs but if not I’ll look for a T-7 or 701/690.
Safe travels!
Nice congrats on the bike
This is what I wish Suzuki DL1050 was, something with a lot of power, but keeping all the usual Suzuki reliability, lack of heat, and so forth. The V-Strom is a fantastic machine for a more road-oriented bike, but it could use another 15-20 horsepower.
Don't see any off the road riding for me anymore. Spent the mid to late 70s riding at the Tillamook burn Oregon every Sunday. Around 35 years working 80 to 120 hours a week. Until 2014. Love seeing your adventures. I'll be catching up. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Ray. Would love ride on Oregon someday 😎
Good riding. I did the two fuel filters following the video from Nerb1. Fixed my random fueling-cut-out issue for less than $80. Seems charcoal from the SAS can get pulled back into the tank if the bike is laid down (clogging the filters). At almost 30K miles now and had it since 3K miles. Power & suspension 👌
I did the Rottweiler SAS delete.
Only have about 9k on mine so far, only issue I have been having is the fuel gauge sometimes randomly jumps for where the actual level is to empty and back again.
I’ve seen a video on how to fix
@@AdventureTomek nice, then you are ahead of the curve! perhaps you will not have any other issue beyond the fuel reader. Mine suddenly works again.
Awesome review, Its too bad that offroad module doesn't save your throttle riding mode as well. If you want some help with those highway miles let use know!
Good run down. If you switch it up, interested in exactly what you will switch to.
Had my 1090R for 5 years and still love it. They are heavy, but very capable bikes. The engine cooks my ass medium rare and the seat is not very comfortable. Replaced the fuel pump and the gas guage float does stick. Although there is a fix for it. Still love the bike.
Did you fix the float yet? It’s a quick fix.
2 Wheeled Rider had a great video on how to do that. Still have mine, getting ready to take it down Baja California 😎✌🏼
@@AdventureTomek Not yet. Next time I'm in the tank I will. I can usually pound on the side of the tank with my fist a few times to get it to release. I've seen the two-wheel rider video. thanks.
Kind of scary how much power it has, crazy performance but 500lbs off road could get gnarly
Hwy 36, woohoo!
Oem fuel pump is $500 ish, good aftermarket is from Quantum Fuel Systems, $130 and supposed to be far more reliable. 2016 1190
Thanks, if I end up keeping the bike ill look into that brand
54k on my 16 1190. No issues whatsoever that I didn't cause. 38k on my stock chain and sprocket. For me, it's a bit heavy for off road vs my skill level. Love the bike though!
That good to hear. Really considering a 890 or T7 this season just so I can feel a bit more comfortable off road.
@@AdventureTomek I recently road my nephew's 450 dirt bike and found it much more enjoyable.
Had mine 9 years here in Southern Spain...its been fault free...the fuel pump and clutch component faults dont appear to be common in Europe...I dont know of any rider myself who has had these issues...
You are right. Those issues were common on the 950/990 models. 1190 got it sorted out.
@@sallhame Hi ...I was at a KTM dealer today...I asked how many fuel pumps they have sold for adventure bikes....he said zero...only the filter kits. Many of the riders raid Morocco on a regular basis...some 1190s are on 60000km using the original pump...with only maintenance being...replacing the filter due to Saharan sand
This is in Spain I forgot to mention..🙄
@@ffs5532 I was a bit too quick here, what I meant to say is the clutch slavecylinder issues was gone with the 1190 Adventure. I owned one for some years and had absolutely no troubles at all. Enjoy your bike in Southern Spain, you have som awesome roads there. Everytime I go from Malaga to Olias for a coffe, I wish I was one a motorbike :P
Why in the hell would you pay that much for oil and filter. Oil is oil an a generic filter also works . Don't be fooled into buying there brand
👍😎
I have this issue where my cluster instrument where you see the speed it’s starting to fade ???
Any ideas
The digital display? From what I know, if anything goes out on the Speedo display you just have to replace the whole unit.
@@AdventureTomek awesome Thank You 🤙🏼
did you ever have the handlebars wobble when taking your hands off?? thats my current issue
How many miles the bike? Maybe steering head bearing needs tightening
@@AdventureTomek 20k just bought it
@@ducaduke some good videos how to check if the head bearing is loose here on YT.
Could just be that the tire is not balanced correctly.
Once my front AX41 front tire had about 6k miles on it I had a slight shake in the handlebars.
I did experienced it with mine around 45ish mph. Changed the tires to Anakee Adventure and the majority went away but it's still occur sometimes.
@@motoxped_ my guess would be head bearing, maybe have a shop take a look.
Thanks for deleting all those pesky pollution precautions so you can go a little extra power. That you admit you don't need.
Nahhh KLR650 FTW
Ah yes you must be on an small income🤣
@@Captndarty hahaha Bloody Tiny as in even a 15 yr old KLR is outta reach lol
what year is your bike??
2015
Mine is a 2015 and I’ve never seen that flashing orange triangle light above the Tach…. what’s is for? @@AdventureTomek
@@designfabrication512 that is traction control
I’ve tried to get mine to flash but on my 2015 I have a small triangle with an exclamation mark in it at the bottom that flashes. Mine never flashes at the top. Weird@@AdventureTomek
@@designfabrication512 oh…I think you are taking about the rev limit warning light.
That’s just a reminder or shift into a higher gear
