2021 2022 2023 2024 KTM 1290 Super Adventure Touratech Zumo XT GPS locking Mount

[@SPChapman]

First off really appreciate the videos and have watched them all - For those playing at home there is actually 3 bolts to remove the screen - two at the top and the pivoting one at the bottom - I only mention this as when I did mine I watched your video over and over and could not understand what I did wrong as the screen was not coming off. Just some reassurance for others doing the same yes there is a 3rd bolt :)

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya mate and thanks for the message and support. I realised I fkud up on the vid by not showing the lower "pin" that keeps the display on. This was some time afterwards though. Good mention :) All the best and have a happy new year! Ric

[@johnm8622]

Great video. I was watching it because I've installed the XT2 version on my '23 1290 SAR but the locking mount interferes with the windscreen mounting arms. It all works, but the windscreen support arms rub on the Touratech mount. I haven't ridden with it yet, but I think windscreen vibration will be transferred to the GPS which negates any advantage of the Touratech dash mount. It looks like the XT2 mount must be slightly wider than the XT.

[@DTMFJeff]

Great step by step Thx. Consider drilling small holes in the new bracket for the zippy ties, it will clean it up a bit.

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya Jeff thanks for the time watching and appreciate the feedback 🙏. Glad it was of some use to you. And good tip 👍 Cheers Ric

[@frankguernier2280]

Hi Rick. That's a Sherman tank mount. Looks good. I have on order a mount and key lock system from Phil Nichols at Moto Mate in the UK. It sits in the same position just above the main screen. A lot lighter weight so maybe not as theif proof. Cost for the mount aprox 90 pound and the lock system 60 pound. I haven't received it yet so cross the fingers.

[@rafaell1774]

Long time no see Rick! I'm glad you still giving us you precious time, well done! First thing I saw OEM mount fitted by yourself, I've ordered that, but never fitted due to lack of sat-nav itself, which I have to purchase first. But now I definitely want this Touratech kit and looks like some lucky soul will get my oem mount for free! Really good piece of kit and looks as nit as original one. Hope my one will be ready for spring and new season. Happy Xmas Rick! :)

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya Rafal thanks mate and good to hear from you again! Yeah sorry I’ve bought another item haha. But after all bikes are for continuous improvements haha… yes the Touratech item is much better but a lot more expensive in unfortunately. I too will be getting rid of my oem one as won’t need that again either! 😁 Good luck on the new bike order and the waiting 🤤 It’s something to look forward to ☝️ Keep safe and have a happy Christmas too (or as we are told to say these days “happy holidays” 🤝) Cheers Ric

Good advise on not using an Impact driver.

[@roamingyorkshirecouple6744]

Looks good - can you get to the key easily - it looks to be tight up against the screen? Thanks in advance

[@RicardoYeep]

Hello mate thanks for the comment! Yeah is a bit tight but manageable with the screen in the optimal position. You will need to adjust the screen to make it easier whenever you install or remove 👍 Cheers Ric

[@BattleDadPrime]

Very helpful video thanks mate! Sort of annoying that they don't supply this in black. Might need to think of how to fix that...plasticoat maybe?!

[@RicardoYeep]

Hello mate! Yeah that was my thoughts exactly. However I soon got over it being silver haha. And thank you for watching and commenting 🙏 Cheers Ric

[@zxbob]

Might have a look at this next year as It looks a lot more secure than the oem, always give it a yank to make sure its on and is defo a pain having to carry when getting petrol. hope you and your family have a good Christmas. Bob..

[@RicardoYeep]

Hey up Bob! yeh mate exactly the reason I changed to this. I mean I like the OEM and did the job. But eve for a quick run into the petrol station I used to have anxiety of a snatch and grab. Or the hassle of something else to carry along with my phone I also detached from the bike lol. And thanks for the well wishes too! Have great Christmas too and hope for a better 2022! Cheers Ric

[@erkful]

I have the 3 mounts as well, I prefer the touratech version. You can use the lock on any of them.

[@RicardoYeep]

Yeah mate! Although the lock is definitely too heavy to use with the oem mount. In addition to the weight of the actual SATNAV in my opinion. It will vibrate too much. 👍

[@stevepreston3151]

HI Ric thanks for the great video i got my sat nav this week and was not looking forward to fitting it until i watched your video 5 times, you made it look a lot easier than i did, Keep them coming, Out across Dartmoor today to try it out💪

Hello Rick, great video as always, do you know what is the size of the bar (Touratech Holder)? 22mm? I want to put on it sp connect.

[@michaelfarrell8182]

Hi Ricardo, Is it easy to lock and unlock with the windscreen in the high or low position ?

[@RicardoYeep]

Hello Michael. On the S model it can be tricky but doable. You’ll have to have the screen on the lowest setting. And the tft tilted in its most forward position from memory. Is easier on a SAR though for sure. 👍

[@johannes07101968]

Hi Rick Like your vids! Planning to mount the Touratech on my SAS, too, but wonder if it is too close to the screen to lock and unlock with they key. Can you share your experience, pls? Johannes

[@RicardoYeep]

Hia Johannes.. Thank you for the feedback mate. Much appreciated :) Cant go wrong with the Touratech kit. yes it is close however it just means that you will need to wind the screen either up or down to access the lock barrel. I have tried it with both SAR and SAS screen and I seem to manage albeit is a bit tricky if you have a bunch of keys... Definitey easier with a sole key to twist! Many thanks Ric

[@alexanderveenstra5785]

Hi Rick, First of all, thank you for all your great videos! They have helped me a lot, especially the one where you removed the DB killers 😉 I just received my Zumo XT GPS Locking mount and installed it the same way you did. However, when it's installed the mount doesn't open (spread) enough to remove or insert the GPS. The two posts that keep the screen in place are too close to the edges of the mount which prevents it from opening far enough. I can move the screen completely up, and then turn the mount a bit down and that will give just enough clearance to remove the GPS from the mount. This means however that I can never really tighten the mount, and over time it will come loose and I will have to remove the screen to tighten the nuts that attach it to the round bar. How did you overcome this problem? (PS. I'm using the standard screen)

[@RicardoYeep]

Hi Alexander!! Thank you my friend for watching and sending a message. Apologies for the delay as I have started a new job and not back until late. Regarding your question. There is no alternative solution. I too have to make adjustments to install and remove the SATNAV from the locking mount. It is a tight squeeze as you too experience. The only thing is to make sure your bolts are tight and also if you want to be extra safe apply some blue threadlock liquid.. It will be solid and should not work loose. But yes I am the same. I would need to remove the screen if the situation arose where I needed to tighten the bolts. But so far even with my off road use my bolts are still solid and I never used threadlock. I think its something that isnt too much to worry about to be honest. Unless you keep manually tilting the SATNAV (which I do not) then it should just stay in place. Cheers Ric :)

[@48BBR]

Hello Rick. Couple of questions, please. Firstly, does the screen get in the way of inserting the key into the lock on the top of the mount? Secondly, if that were to be the case (as I have experienced with the Wunderlich mount) can the Touratech cradle be mounted upside down so that key access is underneath (with more access space), rather than on top? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

[@RicardoYeep]

Hello mate. The key access is pretty tight with the S screen for sure however it is made easier to access by tilting the tft screen towards you if you need to make it a bit easier. Also adjust the windscreen position. It's not ideal but is fine and you can access the key lock. I run the R screen so is a lot easier. As for the mount... from memory I don't think you can install it upside down as I think I tried that too. I think the problem then becomes you cannot access the power on/off button as the clamps are designed to allow access when installed correctly 👍

[@48BBR]

@@RicardoYeep Thank you for your help.

[@wrangler10]

Weird , my Touratech zumo xt mount is a push button release yours is left/right one.I bought it yesterday it was in a cartboard not plastic packaging like yours.Also you forgot to install the 4 washers at the back plate.

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya! Thanks for watching. Just to clarify this mount is a Touratech locking mount. And you will probably find is looking the same on other likewise videos. I agree the zumo XT mount that comes with the GPS is a push button (button on top) mine is the same too. These side clamps are the lock unit from Touratech. Needs a key to remove it if you choose to lock it to the bike. As for the washers yep maybe I did as I can’t remember but does sound familiar. I think I was cussing myself later and then added them on 👍 Cheers Ric

Damn Rick, I just bought the TomTom…This sat nav looks great!! Hope it is friendlier to use than the old model. Good review again! 👍

[@RicardoYeep]

Hi Andy! Ah yes TomTom. I sold my top of the range Rider 550 in order to buy this one instead. This is my first Garmin but have used Garmin before years ago. I have to say it was a very good surprise. In comparison the screen is much nicer and the the speed at which it changes to the touch is better and more responsive than my rider 500. Overall though they do pretty much the same thing to be honest so your not missing out. I just think the styling and look of the Garmin XT does really suit the 1290 TFT screen below. Very modern looking like a tablet. Thanks again for the thumbs up! Cheers Ric

[@castortroy1633]

Hi Ric, just received the Touratech kit. I am planning on coating the bracket in Black. The bracket will be a little thicker then, due to the coating. Do you think the bolts still are long enough to Mount the bracket behind the TFT? There are longer bolts in the kit, but by your experience? Thanx again from Holland!

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya Castor! Nice one and hope you like it. Its a wicked piece of kit. I think you will be fine using the supplied bolts after a powder coat. There is plenty of thread from memory.

Do you have to remove the screen with the 4 bolts to use the key to unlock the Garmin from the mount ? Not sure i’d still want to leave it fixed to the bike when parked overnight when on tour

[@RicardoYeep]

Hi Jon, You can still access the key to lock and unlock but will need to position the screen in order to do so. If the screen is at its lowest position then you cannot access the key. But if you raise the screen up then you can create more clearance. Also the GPS mount does move with the tilt position of the bike display. Again you may have to make sure the display is tilted forwards in its most forward position. I ride in this position already anyway. But tall riders may have the screen tilted towards the screen which may be a small nuisance if you regularly want to unlock the SATNAV No need to remove screen! :) I hope that was clear explain? Those with a SAR screen wont have this inconvenience to think about Thanks Ric 🙏

[@jojien4505]

Hey Ricardo. Again great vid mate, but i have 1 question. Can you use the key to open the lock now that is installed or you lost the access? Seems too narrow to pass the key to open the lock.

Hiya Yannick! Thanks for letting me know. And as always great to hear you found the little no frills vids useful! Yes the Touratech system is bomb proof! lol Cheers Ric

[@markrivett9493]

Hi Ric, a great video (as always). Made me think I should now consider a sat nav for my bike. One observation regarding the whole lockable bit, the round bar it is monuted to is only held on by a screw either end, if you undo those with a standard allen key you walk off with the lot! I saw you threadlocked yours but perhaps security torx screws would be a good idea as well? Just a thought. Have a great Christmas! Regards Mark

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya Mark thanks for for comment and also the info. Yes I agree the bolts are a weakness however this is not meant for you to walk away and go explore a town with it left. Or left overnight on your bike I think. I think it’s more to be a more secure mount with little to zero vibration and also zero risk of it popping off the “dodgey” Zumo mount which does look a little feeble. And for me the convenience of leaving it on the bike at fuel and lunch stops where I can leave it on the bike without risk of a person simply walking by snatching it and running off / or a traffic light snatch. I think that’s the main application 👍

Bonjour mon ami ! J'ai reçu le mien ce matin. Je vais le monter dans la semaine. Grace à ta vidéo, ça devrait aller. PS: Petit question hors sujet, si tu le permets : J ai un louvoiement (shimmy) vers 65 km/h.Le guidon se met à bouger quand je lâche les mains à cette vitesse. As-tu le même phénomène et sais tu, comment résoudre ce probleme? Merci d'avance. Dominique.

[@RicardoYeep]

Bonjour à nouveau mon ami Bonne chance pour l'installation, c'est assez facile et ça ne prend que 45 minutes au maximum. Peut-être une heure si c'est la première fois. Je n'ai pas de shimmy sur cette nouvelle moto jusqu'à présent. Mais sur le SAS j'ai expérimenté et essayé beaucoup de choses. En fin de compte, le problème n'a jamais été résolu à 100%. Cependant, j'ai changé les barres d'origine pour des Barkbusters plus minces, j'ai équilibré toutes les roues, je me suis assuré que les triples pinces (l'écrou de la tête de fourche est pincé). Cela a semblé l'améliorer. Cependant, il se peut que ce soit de la chance et que cela n'ait rien à voir. Ce problème est largement commenté dans les forums comme une caractéristique connue. C'est un super vélo, il faut juste ne pas rouler avec les mains en dehors du guidon, je pense que c'est la conclusion lol... Je pense que la personne qui trouvera la solution sera millionnaire quand elle aura la recette ! Tous mes vœux de réussite Ric

Un grand merci pour toutes ces précisions. En effet certains ont résolu le problème en resserrant la colonne de direction d'autres en changeant les pneus etc.... C'est bien dommage pour une moto de ce calibre.... Bonne journée et encore merci

[@ruttenpascal]

Hi Rick, I’m planning to buy the same setup. Including the Garmin lock. Any advice or second thoughts after a few months of use by yourself? Thanks so much for the nice vids!

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya Pascal! great to hear from you mate. As for the Garmin lock and Touratech setup I have to say faultless in my opinion and experience in using in different conditions. This thing is bomb proof. Just one thing to bear in mind is that although it locks your unit in place. It will only prevent a quick snatch and grab if attempted (if that was one of your concerns). NEVER leave leave your unit on if you plan on abandoning the bike to walk around town. As the GPS and lock unit is attached to the cross member (rod) on the GPS mount. As you know this mount is only kept in place by a hex bolt either side which are easily removable in a few minutes. So for a coffee and petrol fill with the bike in view. its great as you can have one less thing to carry or remove. BUT remove it when you leave the bike alone. As for stability its a rock solid setup. The only thing to also point out is the fact that as the GPS mount itself. (Touratech) is mounted to the same plate as the TFT screen. Whenever or if you ever decided to tilt the display in another angle. the GPS mount moves with it and so will the GPS! It should not be materially much. However it something to mention. If you do have the time and access to a local powder coater. It maybe look a little better if the GPS mount was black. But that's a personal thing. You cant see much of it to be fair. And I am not sure you could even paint the lock unit as so many moving parts you would not want to seize up with painting. But I wish they did something to make it a little less stand out. If you have a SAR screen then much easier to take the GPS out the lock unit and put back. However for both SAS and SAR screens you will need to position the screen height with the adjusters to a suitable position each time you wish to open the lock unit. As being in the incorrect position the screen mounts will prevent the clamps from full opening. Again not an issue but something to remember.. As it did puzzle me for a few seconds (initial thought was WTF is going on here, until I sussed it out). Hope that helps! No regrets at all. And thank you for the great feedback. ! Ric

[@ruttenpascal]

[@stevedenny3547]

Hi Ric,I've had the Touratech locking mount for a while now,the standard Garmin mount just didn't give me confidence the XT wouldn't end up smashed to bits on the road. I originally used the KTM mount,but found it vibrated even with the bike idling and worse when riding(the Touratech mount is probably just too heavy for it),i bought a cheap aluminium mount off ebay for £25 which has been fine,but i do like the look of that Touratech mount,i assume its galvanised or its going to rust up. Cheers Ric.

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya Steve yeah mate I completely agree. The weight of the lock kit and the oem mount is definitely a no no. It really does need the solid bracket they the Touratech gps mount provides to the lock kit. It’s a nice bit of kit for sure. And hopefully it’s treated in some manner but will be applying ACF50 anyway just in case. I’d be surprised if Touratech haven’t treated it. It’s very exposed to the elements for sure. And rust would look horrendous there haha. Also fyi it’s not a lock and forget unit. It’s more to ensure a solid fix and also no risk of it popping out under bumpy terrain. It’s very secure. Also great for convenience at stops where you can see the bike and just fancy a break. And leave it on the bike. No kids running up pulling it off and running lol. But it is still removable with the two Allen bolts at each end of the rod!! Cheers Ric

[@Francis-mr7jx]

One question: i build a similar mount for my 2019 sas. It is exactly the same way attached to the bike's screen. Because the screen is mounted on damping-rubber, it has some flex. So, my gps holder accumulates this flex, with this result: the GPS shakes quite a bit.( on rough- and offroad)... I guess, the Touratech holder has the same issue. If not, how did you solve the vibrations ? Thx

[@RicardoYeep]

The touratech holder is very solid. I did a full weekend off road rally and left my gps in place. Was very sturdy unlike the OEM. I can’t even move the thing if I tried 👍

Hi Ricardo I have just received the Tuoratech support, but I cannot disassemble the instrumentation. I removed the screw on the left side, but on the right side I have no screws. Help !!

[@RicardoYeep]

Hi Alex no problem don't worry is very easy once you know. There are only 3 bolts to remove altogether and one threaded bush/block of aluminium tubing. 1 bolt either side (total 2 bolts) at the top of the screen "mount" (the bit that the TFT tilts on). And one bolts on the lower part on the left side of the bike. Once you remove this one you will need to use a maybe a screw driver or long allen key to push the "threaded bush" out the otherside. For peace of mind make sure you know how this pops back in for when you come to install again. And also note the position of your TFT screen too (where it is tiled). Probably best start with the TFT tiled towards you at its max position. Then you know where you are. Once you have this off you casn then simple get to the 4 bolts on the back to attached the GPS brakcet! Good luck. Any issue let me know.

@@RicardoYeep hello, it's just to know the elements that I could put on it 😬. today I have a bar between the two screen screws and I know that the Touratech one is shorter, but by how many centimeters?

[@cassegrain1977]

Unfortunately, I think this kind of mounting is impossible with the XT2 due to its greater width..

[@RicardoYeep]

I believe you are correct. Different size . Another reason I kept to the XT 👍

Hei Ric, thx for sharing. I have exactly same gps, with the oem holder. Really shaking on off-road. My concern is not to lose it while riding :)) I took into consideration this touratech system, but oh boy that’s a heavy big thing there. On the other hand… why did they left it unpainted 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ At the beginning of your video I was 100% sure I won’t mount on my bike this metal, castle secured , jail locking system lol… but now I am having second thoughts 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 maybe it’s a good thing. For security onroad, off-road… etc

Hiya Florin, I know what you mean I have the OEM mount too and it vibrates a little on road which I can put up with. But no way would I leave the SATNAV mounted on the OEM one while going off-road. That thing is going to come off the clip. Id put it in a bag until back on road. But this Touratech Lock kit is pretty serious kit. it does weigh a bit and is as solid as it looks. And that GPS mount base is like a steel girder. It is solid too. Overall the GPS will be as solid and stable as the bikes own TFT display. if you have the SAR screen it will be much easier to lock and unlock. As the SAS screen is large it can interfere with access. You need to raise the screen to the high position to assist. Also you may need to tilt the display TFT forwards towards you (as the GPS mount moves with it). this will also allow for more access. Cheers Ric

Great vid… but you forgot to turn it on 😉😂

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya Johan! haha sorry never occurred to me to turn it on. I have already done the GPS hardwiring vid and see it come on with the ignition. Unfortunately I was in the mind set of getting the "mount and lock kit" on. But yes would have been good to have seen the full GPS powered up with it in its cradle like you say!! :) Cheers Ric

Looks sturdy...

Could strap a house brick to it 😂

[@ljubomirkalevski42]

That doesn't help at all against theft! Because there are only 2 screws that have to be unscrewed in 10 seconds, and someone can take the whole thing with the bracket.

[@RicardoYeep]

Hiya agreed but to fair if your having a coffee or even only filling up at a station at least you don’t have to worry about snatch and grab. Saves removing it when taking a pee etc. also is a lot more secure for general use. I don’t think it was ever intended to leave your £400 unit on and leave your bike alone all day. You’d have to be pretty crazy to leave your unit in 👍
