I did with my 2023 890R 11000Km and 5 track day's , full tech pack with quickshifter , no problems at all

@MotoLeaning 10 hours ago FWIW, recommend an ABBA stand for tire (and most regular) maintenance. Purchased one 10 years ago and haven't looked back. P.S. Bridgestone RS11 rears in 180 section are listed on their global site, so should be available soon. Keep up the good content.

Watch out or KTM will void your warranty on cheese cams , if you do it yourself, sounds like they never pay out anyway , just put it back on the customer.

Great tutorial, how easy, i did not want to mess up my suspension. Rear shock was pumping during cornering and sport setting helped a lot!!! ❤❤ greetings from Czech republic 🙏🏻

Thanks.Been trying figure out how to make adjustments on mine some reason couldn't make sense of the manual.Appreciate ya

This is the first video I've watched of yours and I like the fact that your able to explain it to where someone with way less brains like myself can understand.😂Glad your healed back up and able to ride.Some never make it back on a back on a bike.Great Vid.

Just pulled the wheels and taking them to get tires mounted, love having these vids as a resource when I need em 😉

Did you ever crack it open and check your camshafts? 👀

Have you tried the dirt tricks cam chain tensioner? Made a big difference to the engine noise on my 890r, reduced the concrete mixer full of bolts sound at idle.

Hey, just a recommendation when you clean the bike, you could maybe put a clove on the exhaust hole and I guess the air intakes should be avoided, cheers 😁✌

Might be the end of my 890R journey - had an instant huge tank slapper on mine, which ejected me into the air, and broke my collar bone. The bike is probably a write off. Onwards an upwards though

I’m at 18,800! Just replaced the camshafts😅

Why doesn't ktm send us bikes with led blinkers, those look like ass

why not just remove the chain itself while cleaning ?

13000 miles on 2023 890r

Great video very helpful!! However on the front axle I had to leave the right side tightened in order to loosen my axle bolt!!! So maybe loosen first before taken out clamp bolts

Is the chain straight measurment a good thing? I have been thinking about it but what if the chain isnt pararell with the bike? Thank you.

Nice to see one make 10k with not many of any issue's. The whole camshaft business has scared me off but I always come back looking lol. The price of these bikes just now is rock bottom as well which for a buyer is great.

i put 12000 on it in ) months

The viscosity ratings are not ideal. They are coming in low. I would think about changing the oil a little more often perhaps every 3000 miles vs 4000. Once viscosity falls below spec it will speed up engine wear.

Hello, friend Do you know if the 790 radiator will work on the 890 R?

Cam failure

Hello Alejandro, thank you for your vlog. I've already ridden 11,000 km on my 2023 Duke 890 R. I had to replace one clutch kit, but that's my fault: I practiced a lot in the training area at low speeds, doing police turns and stuff like that. With this engine torque, it's easy to lose the friction zone of the clutch and burn it out if you're not used to it. Also, there have been some issues: recently, the ignition fuse blew while riding. The dealer hasn't been able to determine the cause yet. Almost all of the kilometers were ridden in the mountains, quite actively. The tires wear out very quickly; during this time, I've already changed 4 rear tires and 2 front tires. It's a fantastic motorcycle, and I'm still discovering its capabilities.

The quickshifter seems to be hit or miss with some bikes shifting fine and like my bike it is not consistent between gears or smooth. I run my chain on the looser side, like all my KTMs - does not make my bike shift better and I've adjusted the shift linkage numerous times to no avail. I got tired and annoyed and turned quickshifter off. By the way - could not help but notice the kink in your chain - often the rivet link is too tight or your chain is old.

4,000 miles on my 2021 890r owned from new, its been faultless love the thing, done some track riding and mostly road, only mods are decat with akra pipe, remap 121hp at the rear wheel, its rips well.

What is the technical explanation between the quickshifter and a slightly dirty chain, as shown in the video? A little dirt on the chain guide and on the pinion is perfectly normal and should not be viewed as critical. The dirt only collects where the chain does not touch the dirty areas. Where dirt is picked up, it is also thrown off again. A modern O-ring chain does not require much maintenance. What is described as critical here is, in my opinion, exaggerated. The chain sounds different after cleaning with the cleaning spray because the grease has been removed and diluted. After greasing, the grease is still thin. This is why the chain runs more easily. After a few hours, the grease is viscous again and has more resistance. That is the reason for the different sound and less resistance. I own a Husqy Norden 901 which is pretty much identical to the KTM 790/ 890. Despite many dusty roads, the quickshifter and the chain have been working for 25,000km to date.

Although I do think I have a pinhole leak in my head gasket as I think the carburetion gases are getting into my radiator and over pressurizing it so the water doesn't suck back in but I'm still able to ride it I lose about one cup of fluid on every track day but I'm going to do a leak down test and probably change the head gasket

Hi there I love my 890 I have about 6500 me all track my bike is track only I love this bike and it smokes most all the Thousand CC's I am an expert Rider and this bike can't be beat on the track it's just so light

Excellent video, thank you

9000km on my 2020 790 Duke. Bought it brand new in october last year. No problems what so ever. Flawless qs. See the chain as a part of the gearbox, and therefore tension is important. (Not just for KTM!)

6400 miles and my cams are worn, waiting on followers and an intake camshaft.

10k here without much issue other than valve cover gasket leak and front sprocket gasket leak both fixed under warranty. My QS is still a source of frustration, switched to GP shift awhile back which seemed to help but it still acts up when you least expect it 🤣

My cams are beeing replaced now too. I heard an unusual sound and delivered it for inspection a week ago. Seem to be quite a lot of horrorstories aboud the cams on the 890 duke r. Mine had only 9300 miles in the clock.

I’ve got 18,800 miles on my 890 Duke R and did the valve clearance check to find that my cams both need to be replaced😢 Waiting on parts that are back ordered before I put it all beck together. It’s been a great bike otherwise!

Excellent!!

I already cleaned the sprocket box but forgot the chain guard... ktm garage made my chain more stiff than the manual instructions...

I just got 890 adventure, What slip on do you have and did you do the decat?And what tune do you prefer

You only live once , and money comes and goes , Besides, no one pays their medical bills.Anyways that's why insurance sucks😅 Hop on the wagon buddy there's plenty of space😂😂

I'm think I'm less than 100 miles from 10k. S1K in the garage has slowed the 890 miles down a bit but i still love it, just rode it to work yesterday 😁

Sc sounds good. Still waiting on my arrow exhaust. Coming from France estimated shipping time was 3 to 4 weeks
