Not sure you should use a GL-5 fluid in the transfer case because there's a synchro in there. GL-5 is not good for synchros. Although I see many people do it. From my research, Ravenol 75w or Redline MT-LV would be correct options for the transfer case.

Your instructions were excellent and helped a lot to repair. Pretty easy except the pad was a little harder getting the clips to loosen, but with persitance they came loose. In the end, every thing fit back in place. Thanks for the help. Oh, by the way, I moved the rock.

'Sup W! Looking good! Hey, ever notice how sometimes the cruise control on your 890 just turns off? I had noticed it sometimes in the 3 years I've had mine, but it wasn't until the other day when I had it out that I figured out for sure what was happening and was able to consistently repeat it. I don't know if this was intentional or accidental on KTM's part (safety thing?), but, if you have the cruise on, and open the throttle to pass someone, and instead of just opening your fist and letting the throttle close on it's own, you roll it closed and accidently go just a little past closed, it will turn the cruise off, every time for me. Sometimes when I take my hand off the grip to stretch, if I'm not careful grabbing it again and accidently roll it a little past closed, it will turn off. So, be aware, that if yours is like mine, it will shut off the cruise if you're not careful. My BMW doesn't do this so that's why it took a while to figure it out, I thought it was just another KTM glitch. Try it out and see if this doesn't do the same thing on yours. Oh, and did you flip the mount on the bottom of your tankbag around so the opening is towards you? Ride safe! F

I like it, but the exhaust pipe should never outlet under your trailer. The exhaust end pipe has to be located to the side to avoid potential carbon monoxide build up that could potentially creep up into your cabin. Please drill a hole or route it past your I beam.
@infospongeАй бұрын
Thanks, I do route the tip under the frame. Also, there is no way for it to build up because there is a gap between the frame and the cabin.
@vanmanmikeАй бұрын
@@infosponge Looks mighty dark under there for there to be much of a gap between the frame and the cabin. I have installed three of these units in the past, and have never before seen anyone not route their exhaust pipe out the side of their camper or equipment. If I am not mistaken, it clearly explains this in the owners manual. I find it hard to believe that you defend such an unsafe set up of an exhaust pipe that emits deadly carbon monoxide gasses.

I would think you'll need to run the cross bar to connect your timbrens together or you are going to twist your frame rails, even with gussets. There is nothing stopping the twist action. That is a lot of weight and it creates a lot of leverage . Your frame rails were flexing just hitting the bolts with the hammer. Add the 2x2 cross bar to connect the timbrens. That is exactly what it is for. Just some friendly advise. Especially off road, the load is magnified from the constant jouncing.

And after doing the diassembly to remove the light I realized Toyota had not done this. They simply added sealant. Perhaps for the making of this video, you make it look easy. THIS IS a tough challenge. I did remove the B pillars to pull down the headliner enough to get my 1/4" rachet and socket. And I used blue scotchbrite with Goo-B-Gone to removed alot of sealant.
