My 2019 KTM 790 Adventure R: how do I like it five years later?

I bought this motorcycle new in June of 2019. In this video I talk about this motorcycle, and on the backdrop of great riding locations in Oregon, California, Nevada and Idaho, I describe what it has been to own this KTM. I talk about the good and the bad of this motorcycle.

Love these videos you are making!

[@idratherberiding3456]

Thanks Scott! It's a lot of work, but it is also something I really like doing.

Hi there, good video
How many kms have you done in total?
I have read alot about the cam failures of the 790, have you had any issues or have you checked your bike for that?

[@idratherberiding3456]

It has 4000 kms, basically all on dirt.

[@idratherberiding3456]

Oh, and about the cam failures, I have it in a short text caption on the video, as I came across a few videos showing it. I'm not sure my motorcycle has this problem, but I change oil much more frequently than it is recommended by the manual. Not sure that this prevents any problems. But I change its oil frequently.

hello, I thought i recognized the alvord in your intro shots! My 890 is in the shop at 6k miles, lots of metal in the oil. Have you noticed excessive metal in your filters?

[@idratherberiding3456]

Wow, scary. No metal at all in my filters. I will do an oil change in a month, will pay extra attention. I've heard of a soft camshaft on these motors.

[@idratherberiding3456]

I've heard about the soft camshafts as I had finalized the editing of the video, so I only added text as a caption. I've also heard of issues with the electronics. I'm knocking on wood...

[@blubbertalk]

@@idratherberiding3456 I've had no electronics issues, but dust in the air box, leaking valve cover and metal in oil are my gremlins. Keep a close eye on your air filter and airbox.

[@idratherberiding3456]

@@blubbertalk I've been keeping an eye on the air filter, clean so far!
