Thanks a lot Dude. Just fitted mine. The bottom bolt where the screen pivots, just remove that and it makes the whole process a lot easier. Tx again!

Did you trade the bike for a 1290R? I'd be interested to hear about what you think of the differences. I'm an off roader but I'm thinking of buying the 1290 Adv S. I don't want the R because it's significantly taller and that just makes it more of a burden on and off road. The R suspension is obviously capable of much higher speeds off-road, but I don't care to push a big bike that fast off-road. The spoked wheels are best if you're a fast rider and pushing it, but I'm not pushing into bent rim territory on a bike like that. Also in Canada the ADV R is speed limited to 180km/h, and even my T7 at less than half the HP hits that speed. The ADV S doesn't have the limit. I have an Africa Twin and a Tenere 700. I hate the tenere 700 because it's like an XR 650 on the street and feels as heavy as a goldwing in the dirt. I actually have a lot of fun on the Africa Twin but I've had it for 8 years and I'm just kind of bored of it. Both bikes are DOGS off road and I have no interest in pushing the limits. I have a hand full of dirt bikes that I ride and race off road, that's where I am 95% of the time. But I can't own a pure street bike because I live out a muddy dirt road and I go to a lot of places in the dirt, but still want to have the most fun I can on the street which is always a novelty for me when I get that chance to take a street legal bike out for a ride. Sorry to be that guy, but if you're looking to tune up your off road skills, have you considered something like a CRF250F? You can buy one for about $4000 used, ride it for a year or so, and sell it for the same price. Do static balance drills, set up a mini-cone coarse, learn log hops, and wheelies. Set aside a few hours a week to "train". I do a lot of racing and those simple drills I did at home in my yard made the biggest difference in my riding and helped bump me up from beginner classes to A class. Simply riding challenging terrain didn't actually teach me much before the learning curve flat-lined. The skills transferred to ADV bikes and I can get them into places they definitely don't belong. I go on a big trip every so often on a big bike, this summer it was 6 weeks. Every time I do this, it takes me a couple weeks to get my skills dialed back in on the race bikes. ADV bikes literally erode your off road skills away. I think they're too big and cumbersome for a beginner to learn on. You can do it, but it requires deliberate focused training and would take much longer than it does on a small bike you're not afraid of crashing many times repeatedly for hours at a time. Anyway hopefully you're on some new bike somewhere having a blast and not reading youtube comments, cheers.

Nice

Looks epic, cant wait for the full video

Looks awesome 👍

Have a great adventure. Ride safe.

Forgot steep muddy hill and 30kg of luggage after ridding a hot session 🤣

I thought you had to have Ktm update software?

Parts just arrived, about to start the installation. How did you know the shape and position of the cut out on the side plastic?

Thanks for the video- bought on your reccomendation and installed today- spot on!

A very helpful video. Thanks

Is it essential to have a motorbike to use these heated grips? I just want to keep my hands warm while walking around in the winter, maybe installing into my retractable dog lead for example.

I would suggest you to read and understand the installation instruction before performing the work!

Sad feels

Great video, do you have the link to the product?

How has it held up? Muuuch cheaper than the touratech one.

The offroad courses run by the big manufacturers are well worth doing. I did the triumph level 1 a couple years back would love to go and do a higher level course.

How much does it weigh?

Good instructions thank you

Very useful and easy to follow, thank you

You probably wouldn't crash it that frequently in one go in real life right?

Wow you made this one fast!

Don't next time.

just keep those revs up, acceleration is controlled by the clutch at low speed.

Ah - the greatest love of all !!!!

Nice work Sir!

Thank you for the update

Very professonal presentations Simon . And very real !!! Your Friday the 13th one made me laugh too!! Hopefully a good used SAS is in my future - your vids will prove very useful! Cheers, Phil Nova Scotia , Canada.

Why did you go from an SAS to SAR?

Hey Simon, nice video. One issue, looks like you didn’t correctly install the wiring inside the throttle assembly. Just for safety sale you might want to check out a couple other videos on here and dive back in to that throttle housing on yours! Cheers

good idea to remove the front mask. I did it without removing that, but with a double prize Touratech bracket. But it works fine too

Another fantastic edit mate, great video to watch on a short break ❤

I was under the impression the heated grips need to be activated at a dealer once installed? Great video, I may try the install myself!

lol that Friday the 13th! I’m glad it worked

Love the outtakes 😂

Thank you for the clear instructions 😊

Buy a KTM. Bragging rights and anxiety come free. I never know if mine will start.

Interesting. My dealer said they were hard to install. I wasn’t expecting that connector cable to be so accessible. I’ll have to take a look. Thanks!

Can you send a link? I just paid a ridiculous price for one from Touratech.

This looks like a very good product, thanks for the clear installation video

Loving this! The outtakes cracked me up 😂

Oh my days Simon.. love how stressed you was getting 😂, worked out in the end ❤

Why the music ?.

Put a piece of wood or rubber under the side stand so it doesn’t go flat the battery

Nice editing!

Keep going bro doing these tutorials will get easier overtime 💪
