Awesome to see how quick they was to get you in and out the garage 👌 got yourself a good garage there Just one comment regarding getting the bike flashed. I would recommend getting the bike flashed after you put the slip on or full system exhausts, because when you flash your bike it is giving you the optimum amount of power for how the bike is at that moment in time, so you could flash it with the stock pipes and it rides and sounds great but once you swap the exhausts over the ecu is going to giving you the optimum mixture, as if you still have the original exhaust, meaning you will have to flash the bike again to get the optimum figures again
Thanks for your comment! Most definitely I will, BHP UK was actually kind enough to agree to remap it in both stock and with the exhaust to then compare which is better.
I got rid of my 1390 after two weeks. Started with false neutrals, it happened atleast two times on every fu**ing ride. And then it started slipping out if gear under heavy acceleration and that was that, it had to go. Not a KTM basher, love the bikes, LOVED my 1290 evo, never missed a beat. The 1390 tho, this bike has issues. The false neutral situation is starting to pop up in forums too i’ve noticed… Hope your one of the lucky ones👍
@@gmmotomedia Totally! It’s a SPECTACULAR bike, unfortunally we, me and the bike, got off on the wrong foot😞 The suspension is sublime and the power is second to none. But when my neck started aching (i’m 51, getting old) AND the bike started acting up that was it, it had to go. The joy of riding was gone. In it’s place is a 2024 BMW S1000XR that id easier on my back and neck. Hope you have 1000s and 1000s of miles of carefree riding on it👍
My QS wasn't working from pick up either but not going to bother getting them to look at it till it goes in for its first service which should be next week
KTM's are fine minus the electronics. I had 390 Duke, which was one the most fun bikes I have ever owned. With regards to the 1 1290 SD and 2 SDGT I owned. Well, they were in the workshop more than they were in my garage. I've now pledged my allegiance to BMW.
I had the husqvarna svartpilen 401 and the bolts would snap when hand tightening them. Would start unthread and then catch due to poor threading and strip with minimal torque. Bike was made out of aluminum that was on its last recycling round before getting tossed in the trash.

Hello. I have the a 1390 ... curious, which wire was loose in yours specifically? ✌🏼
Just wouldn’t have another KTM there’s always problems, hope you have no more issues with your KTM!! Stay safe..
Thanks pal
Loose connection is basically no problem, likely just an oversight. Have fun mate.
👍

1:16 it could have happened to any bike, that’s true. But it always happens to KTM. It says something about quality control.

You should mate, apparently for the QS all they had to do was re calibrate It

I'd never buy a KTM, terrible reliability
