Your gonna love this bike they are so capable and a lot of fun. Grab a 2 finger camel clutch adapter makes a huge difference. Also if you are thinking of single track riding drop the front sprocket down one cog also get rid of the front sprocket cover as the mud build up behind it will have you removing it a lot. with the cat removed omg shes a beast and sounds like one. Enjoy fella.
Great suggestions, thank you. I have lots of plans for this bike. Clutch and brake levers are for sure on the list along with gearing and other things. Good tip about the removing the case saver I don’t know that the sprocket loads up with mud. Probably get a Vanesch billet peice though as I don’t like leaving that countershaft sprocket completely exposed. Thanks again for the input.
Congrats man and enjoy. I've had a few of them since the 790. Currently have the exact same bike. Dunno if you can get away with it in the US, but I highly recommend the Remus powerparts slipon exhaust (black one looks great). You never mentioned what you have on the way. I had an Akro on previous 7/890's, but on this bike got the Remus and removed the db killer (baffle). Its wicked! Bikes were all decat'ed but yeah we can get away with stuff here. Another useful piece of kit I have stuck with is the Enduristan Tailpack (Small). It fits like a glove perfectly on the default carrier on the back with the straps and buckles, no mods required, unmovable and is perfect for a few essentials, like tyre pump/repair kit or whatever. Bashplate AXP, but lots of options out there these days. Enjoy, ride it like you stole it ⚡👍👍
Great suggestions, thanks a bunch. I bought the Arrow decat and arrow Titanium slip on. I think most all of the exhausts these days are pretty darn good but I like the availability of arrow products.
@@upshiftingadventures4034 All good man. I have 2 mates that have the Arrow, both very happy. Look forward to seeing some updates once you and the new bike get settled in. Take care.
En hora buena !! Has comprobado la mejor trail del sector, es perfecta de motor y también la parte ciclo, te va a sacar probablemente mas sonrisas que la 701
Well, I know I am going to give it an honest go. I hope it doesn’t take the place of the 701 but it might. I plan to use the 890 on trips that I can ride to from the house and the 701 on trips where I trailer the bike.
I got a 2022 1290 Super Adventure R and when I get on my 2023 890 Adventure it feels like a toy in comparison. Oh I did get a one finger pull KTM power parts Camel clutch lever kit for my 890.
I have the 1250 GS but I wanted something more dirt focused and that is of course KTM territory. I thought about the 1290 SA but since I already have a super Duke I know how much power that LC8 has. The 890 is the perfect mid weight in my opinion. But the 1290 is of course fantastic as well.
I don’t know, but as a guy who owns 6 KTM’s now, I can tell you that any shortcomings the bikes have are more then overshadowed by the amount of capability that comes with them. Not to be confrontational but I’m curious if you have owned or do own a KTM. I often hear people talk bad about the brand but no one I know that has one talks negative about them.
Yes I’ve owned one ktm and would never buy another one .. good luck 👍🏽 I do believe they make a very capable bike but I also believe the capability comes down mostly to rider .. I also own 6 bikes and u couldn’t give me a ktm to ride .. don’t feel like being stranded although if I’ve owned 6 ktms with minimal to no issues I would back the brand 100%. So I definitely see what your saying

Just rode one of these on a 5 day KTM tour in New Zealand the bikes a weapon
That’s awesome. I am trying to get a NZ trip together with Ride with Locals. We’ll see how the year goes.
Si, conservar la 701 es un buen complemento para rutas más complicadas. Yo mismo tengo una KTM 500exc 2020 justo para eso

Is this also going to replace your 701? Or is this more for adv/BDR rides?
@@rockymountainrory this bike is adv rides where I can ride the bike from home. The 701 is for trailer trips and around home stuff

What do u think the first cel will be?

Thank you bud!

Your right, I've deleted the previous comment and even subscribed.
Well thank you man. I’m grateful for your support.
@@upshiftingadventures4034 no worries and again, sorry for my past lapse in judgment. I also have the 2023 890R.
