7 Accessories on my KTM 790 Adventure R that were between $125 and $2250

[@BKmoras]

Great video! Thank you for all your great info. I have just purchased a second set of rims also. Have you ever tired to fit 150 wide tyre on the smaller rear rim? The rear rim I have is the 2.5” so wanted to try and fit the tyre I have at the moment on the standard rim which is a 150 . Hope you can help

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Hi, no - sorry I have run 140's on all of my rims from new. I've got a new 150 sitting there that came off the 790, but never fitted it to the smaller rims. I imagine that they will fit, it's only 10mm different. Cheers

Thanks bro, I took the ukulele on the new years trip, not bad around a campfire :)

Hey mate cool videos, im in the northern rivers area and got some good ideas from your vids for future rides. I got a 2022 890 adventure r and have the same problem you had with the aftermarket headlight throwing up a fault on the dash. got the Rebel x tower.My dealer had a go at fixing it but no luck. i was wondering who your dealer is that fixed it for you.any info would be really appreciated. Cheers Jess

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Hi, yeah I'd like to ride up there a bit more, let's catch up at some stage. The old KTM mechanic at Motorcyclesrus did it, he was a bit of a bike whisperer...said it was tricky to find where to do it....not there anymore unfortunately. But maybe he let them know how he did it. Its not on a visible menu on the dash. Give them a buzz...they will know who you mean when you ask them about my bike. Cheers

[@jessm4154]

@@890RallyAdventureR Thanks for the reply, i'll give them a call. Be cool to catch up for a ride , I have'nt taken my 890 off road yet just finnished putting on a bit of upgraded protection before i did. I'm coming from a 690 so i'm looking forward to see how the 890 handles off road. loving the bike so far.

[@alphonsvanmaanen]

Love the Uke and the T Shirt!! Informative and entertaining vids Chris! Keep it up, Will keep an eye out for the podcasts :)

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Thanks mate - yes the studio gear has been ordered, but there seems to be some silly virus slowing down delivery....

[@DDTripleD]

Are both the left and right foot peg strengthened by the B and B skid plate?

[@890RallyAdventureR]

The steel x frame bolts to the footpeg mounts, then yhe bashplate bolts to the x frame.

[@Phl_b]

Chris, yet another priceless video, great value in watching these mate. On behalf of all of us, thanks for all your experience, knowledge, and trial-and-error! And for the record, I'm putting my hand up for the Ukulele. I look forward to the day I get to hear you play that Ukulele live over the camp fire... somewhere.... sometime!

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Thanks mate...I think during covid I've transferred some of my ride energy into video production lol....I am looking forward to a good 790 catchup as well!

Where did you get the muffler clamp to hold muffler in place plz. Beautiful build sir

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Hi, thanks - the pipe is custom made in stainless steel pipe, cheers.

[@roam5984]

Really interesting vid, thank you. I have an F850GSAdventure and love it, but always interested in seeing other similar size bikes, set ups etc. The tower unit mod looks fantastic, and the head light so much better than the stock. Carbon-fibre uke - brilliant, and bring on the 790 podcast. Ride safe and good luck with channel expanding and more riding post-Covid. Cheers.

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Thanks for the encouragement and feedback. Yes, the podcast will happen once the studio has been set up (hopefully in stereo)...we have enough rides and experiences (and gear) to make a good series. Yes, if it wasn't for Covid I'd have been finishing a Mongolia Adv ride with my friends on my 60th a couple of months ago. Oh well, there's always next year (fingers crossed!). Cheers

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Thanks mate - yeah it's a fun bike to ride, so it makes it interesting to talk about as well. Cheers, will do!

[@miradockal9795]

Great job you've done!!! I know I said it before, but that's the best looking 790 and still within affordable boundaries 😅 I love modification and personalized touches to my bike. Worth every penny 👍 Look after your self 🙂

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Thanks Mira, I just got back from a weekend with my friend Neil running on his new 790, and have to say that I was happy to be on mine with the mods (and the look, lol). We went on some of the same tracks I last did 2 years ago on my Africa Twin that really taxed it's suspension - but the 790 ate it all up and said go harder! (Video to come soon) Such fun bikes :)

[@miradockal9795]

@@890RallyAdventureR Sounds like you've had a great time😃I've tested an A-Twin, but as you saying, that's an everyday people bike. 🤷‍♂️ I ride modified 950 adventure s. Have spent a tons of money on that 😆, but money well spent.😋 But the European weather is a kind of a show stopper, as the winter totally shucks. So jealous....🙈lived in Australia my self. However take care and keep posting 😊👍

[@890RallyAdventureR]

@@miradockal9795 Nice...a good 950 not only goes fun places, but sounds great doing it! Yes, I've lived in countries where winter stops you riding, we actually go inland in Winter simply because in summer it's too hot to ride there, thanks. Cheers

What's the difference between the Rade and the MST rally tower? In your opinion

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Hi, I thought the look of the fairing of the MST was more like the 2019/20 450RR Rally bike (you can order it with that actual KTM screen for an extra fee). It's a tough kit - mine hasn't moved a mm, and I've dropped it so many times...good stuff. I think the Rade looked more like the 2015/16/17 RR kit, with that kicked up angle at the top. At the end of the day there is no bad choice, enjoy :)

[@leonvdb8388]

@@890RallyAdventureR satisfied with the wind buffeting too? Thanks for answering mate

[@890RallyAdventureR]

@@leonvdb8388 It's a big step better for wind protection...in fact the negative comments from those that fitted the Rade screen onto their normal front ends (which is that same older shape) was another reason that I went with MST, and was happy with the result. Having said that - I'm short, so that helps too.

[@bikerabbi]

The ukulele is the most ridiculous thing ever. Instead, like me, you should load up a pair of drumsticks and a drum pad as I do so I can hit some ryhthm on the road, (and trail). 😁Excellent video, thank you! Great tips.

[@890RallyAdventureR]

Haha...nice one, but I think you have mistaken music for hitting things in time, lol - however there are maybe even better drummer jokes than ukulele ones: What do you call a drummer with half a brain? Gifted. What does a drummer use for contraception? His personality. What do you say to a drummer in a three-piece suit? "Will the defendant please rise?" "Hey buddy, how late does the band play?" "Oh, about half a beat behind the drummer." And on and on :)

[@bikerabbi]

@@890RallyAdventureR Dang, and I thought I'd heard all the good Drummer jokes! Now I can tell these and be popular at local parties again for another 15 minutes! Things are looking up!

[@bikerabbi]

On the other hand, (praise to the internet:) A ukulele player suddenly realizes he left his vintage ukulele out in his car over night. He rushes outside and his heart drops when he sees that his car window is broken. Fearing the worst, he peeks through the window and finds that there are now five ukuleles in his car. Q: What’s the difference between a ukulele and a trampoline? A; You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline. Q: What is the difference between a ukulele player and a savings bond?

@@890RallyAdventureR May I understand a bit more regarding these Rear Side Panels…. How is it designed and held in place onto the bike. I see that you made a cut out to slip into the rear Anchor Point. What about the front / top area? Would be keen to see a close up of this.

Hey man, I’m no audio expert by any means. Just a viewer with some insight but I could be wrong. I’m not sure if you realized the sound appears to be on one side only. I’m assuming it’s a mono vs. stereo thing but I’m not sure. Maybe someone can figure that out for you. Great content otherwise man, Cheers.

Thanks for that - I hadn't noticed...maybe the drone of my own voice put me to sleep lol. I'll try a stereo microphone next, see if that gets both sides working, Cheers.

What tire are you running?

[@890RallyAdventureR]

I run tubes both ends - the 90/90 Pirelli Scorpion Rally 54MST tube type on the front and a 140/80 Motoz Tractionator Rallz tube type on the rear. For me I go for maximum grip and don't mind that the front wears out at the same time as the rear as long as the grip is great. I've run this combo since the first service (except for my 6,500km trip to the Flinders, where I ran a rear 140/80 Tractionator Adventure instead), and think it's great.
