KTM 790 / 890 Adventure- GPS Install and wiring

[@breeno59]

Just picked up an 890 (and I’ll admit watching you wail on the 790 was a factor in that choice) and this video was super helpful - thank dude!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Congrats man. My buddy has a 890 and it seems like an even better machine. Have fun

[@badachris]

Installed a Zumo XT on my 890Adv R with the help of your video. It took half and hour and went just as you said it would. Thanks for making the video.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Really glad it helped you out. Have fun

[@ziamann]

Awesome vid! On my 2021 890 Adventure, for the Acc. 2 leads, the black/red wire is positive and the brown wire is negative.

[@EverySingleSunday]

👌

[@dr.craigchristiansen2460]

Very nice! Looks like I have more stuff I need to buy for my 790! The list of goodies goes on and on!

[@EverySingleSunday]

It does. And it makes it better and better :)

[@vincestroud9012]

I must say, your video is simply outstanding!

[@wfodavid]

Wish I had someone like you near me that liked to ride as much as you do.

[@EverySingleSunday]

They are out there. Just need to find the right person or a few groups that you can meet up with

[@alexandrebustico9691]

I had begun to dismount but was stuck on the part in the middle of the headlight. I did not want to use brute force to avoid to break pastic, and your video unstuck me, i see that you need brute force to remove that part :-) Anyway , my gps is installed and working now thanks to you !

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad to hear it. Have fun exploring

[@theEHWAZ]

This video was super helpful! I just installed my Garmin Zumo XT on my KTM 790 ADV R following the steps in this video. A little tricky putting the extra wiring in place to allow for the headlight to be put back in place but if you push the extra wiring towards the back top end of the compartment it will all fit. Took about 3 attempts to put the light back but with finesse and patience it will work. Thanks!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad it helped you out. Ya, took me a couple Barry’s to get everything right as well

[@8andsk835]

I bought the wiring kit from moto minded but I just realized it may be made for this particular unit. I’m also going with the Zumo xt. What wires did u use to hook yours up with? And is it a fused connection?

[@8andsk835]

Do u know if the vanashe mount fits the zumo xt?

[@davideg5947]

Did you connect the Zumo to accessory lead 1 or 2?

[@Vburklow]

You are one of the angels on KZbin thanks for this

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad it helped 🤙

[@johnnymac8179]

Thanks ! I just installed a Garmin XT on my buddys 890 adventure R . This video was the reason everything turned out perfect! I wish my Africa Twin had such a cool way to mount the gps. Thanks again! Cheers from Montana!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Awesome Johnny, glad to hear that helped you out

[@dahveed284]

This was a great tutorial on how to get into the head unit. I had a difficult time getting the KTM screen disconnected from the wires. Eventually I got it done and have now reassembled the head. Thanks!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Yeah, just a little bit sticky sometimes. Glad it helped you

[@rgilbre]

Thanks for this video! I installed my Garnin Zumo 396 today on my 790. Couldn’t have done it without your instructions!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad it helped you through the install 🤘

[@Tinker3504]

I have an 890 I'm throwing a wireless charger/mount on and this video definitely saved me some wasted wire routing. I had a hunch there would be switched power somewhere up front. Thanks!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad it helped out 🤘

[@tdeloriea]

I used this video to mount my Zumo in my 790 R. Then I had to go back and review this for removal. Getting the 790R back to stock to make ready for trade in on the new 890 Rally that just arrived. Talk about your first world problems. LOL Thank you sir!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad to hear that it helped you out with everything. I hope the 890 is an awesome machine for you

[@texlee84]

Did you need the ACC extensions for the install or is the supplied wire with the XT long enough?

[@tdeloriea]

@@texlee84 the cable for the XT cradle is long. I had to cut it down to size to fit it in this set up.

[@TheBeen190]

I installed my Zumo XT on my KTM 790 Adventure R following your instructions. Very clear and easy to do. Thanks for the video.👍🏼

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad it helped out 🤙

[@ontheirktms4828]

Thanks for the very helpful video. I wouldn't have managed the installation without your clear instructions

[@EverySingleSunday]

[@gregorymallory]

Nice install. Live that bike. About to go to sleep and this video posted and looking forward to tomorrow's video right when I wake up.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Sounds good, I think you'll enjoy tomorrow's video. it's been uploaded for a few days and the HD version is ready for you when you wake up

[@rubenvaldez4887]

Thanks for posting this. It was very helpful!

[@brianj1428]

I just installed my GPS yesterday on my 790R too. I used the same billet mount you used. Very nice. Keep an eye on that instrument panel. They are prone to condensation. KTM will replace it under warranty.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Very nice. Thanks for the heads up. Is yours a 19 or 20?

[@brianj1428]

Mine is a 2019.

[@EverySingleSunday]

@@brianj1428 Curious if they got it figured out for the 20s. Now I want to take a pressure washer to it :)

[@brianj1428]

I don’t know if it’s an issue with the 2020’s yet. Mine would get condensation just sitting in the garage during cold weather. ADV Rider has a good 790 sub forum on all the 790 issues, fixes, and upgrades. Cold weather starting, idling and stalling was an issue with mine. Bikes are too lean. The Booster Plug will richin it up enough to eliminate those hiccups, stalling, and improves throttle response.

[@TheKaiserCz]

Thanks a lot for your video mate, helped me a lot to install my Zumo XT (Vanasche GPS mount) on my brand new 890 ADV R!

[@texlee84]

Did you need the ACC extensions for the install or is the supplied wire with the XT long enough?

[@TheKaiserCz]

@@texlee84 supplied wire is long enough if you install the ACC in the headlight housing

[@texlee84]

@@TheKaiserCz I have the Vanasche GPS mount and I plan to run the cable from the mount/cradle direct to the switched powered wires that terminate in the headlight housing. It's good to know that nothing more is needed. Thanks for the reply!

[@TheKaiserCz]

@@texlee84 that's exactly my build, so you're good to go ;)

[@nunogaisita1044]

Very helpful video! In my case wasn't necessary "diging" to search the wires, they was up in the front, i just conected the ones i have made, i don't have any gps for yet!! 😁

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad yours was easier :)

[@davidzimmermann6086]

Very useful, thanks. Initially I wanted to use the wires under the back seat, but eventually it's not so simple to get the cable trough the tight space under the tank. I ended up dismounting the headlight as well, and it's not that difficult.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Glad you got it worked out. Have fun

[@damytzeus]

that's the andrew vanasche gps mount. vanasche makes high quality products. awesome dude too

[@EverySingleSunday]

Yes it is. Absolutely love the quality of it and how well it was designed

[@stevecrocker6904]

thank you. Clear and concise - and I know to first get terminals to connect to my TomTom wires

[@EverySingleSunday]

Have fun with the install 👍

[@tompangborn5966]

Thank u. Made my install sooo easy.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Happy to help 🤙

[@ssmith278]

Great video, Travis. I wish KTM would have had an ACC2 connector come up and tied off just under the cover that you remove to place the GPS mount. They do this with the Norden 901 and you don't have to take the TFT off and remove the headlight. I guess I'll install my GPS permanent wiring on my KTM 890 Adventure after my first warranty work is done. Not sure if they would void my warranty if they knew I disassembled the headlight.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, I’ve heard the Norden has it up there. That is a huge help I doubt they would void a warranty based on you taking the headlight out unless something you did effects what a problem was.

[@nyadver256]

Passenger side of the vehicle? hehe Thanks for the great vid. Helped me install mine.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, passenger side 😂

[@Braapncamp]

Very nice tutorial mate! Top work.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks. Hoping it helps people that are interested in doing their own work

[@RTRrentals]

Thanks Travis, I’ll be referring to this video as I install my Trailtech Voyager. But first gotta order mount from MotoMinded! :)

Do it

[@greatfallskam]

Hi Travis, Do you know what the bulb looking thing is behind the headlamp. Kind of looks like a ambient type sensor. Sits behind all the cables behind headlamp. Great video. I like how you routed your GPS wire. Kam

[@EverySingleSunday]

Hello. I’m not actually sure what you’re talking about as I haven’t been inside the headlight since I made this video. Wish I had some more info for ya

[@greatfallskam]

@@EverySingleSunday Took closer look. Turns out to be one of the two push rivets under the headlamp housing.

[@philipperetornaz3028]

Bonjour. I bought a 790 from 2020. She arrives home saturday. 👍What is the brand of this cradle ? Thanks

[@EverySingleSunday]

I cannot remember offhand because it’s been so long. I think it mentions it in the video, but I know you can buy it from Rottweiler Performance.

[@therealmayapapaya]

I read on another video (who actually recommended your video) that Acc 1 is switched and Acc 2 is constant. Can you verify which is which?

[@EverySingleSunday]

I can’t remember as I did this video a couple years ago. But I know that Information is in this video if you watch it

[@nigelspoljaric8363]

What type of connector do I need to use the factory Zumo wiring to hook into the Ktm wiring?

Not familiar with the Zumo. But I’m sure MotoMinded in Colorado Springs, CO, can help you out if you call them

[@tomprice1019]

Hi. Thanks for doing video. Ive just got satnav to fit to my 790r. Do you have heated grips fitted? Only Ive been told that if you have then they would have already taken the acc2 accessory wires. Any advice appreciated. Tom

[@EverySingleSunday]

I don't have heated grips. But, there's another acc 1 and 2 in the tail of the bike if you need it

[@tomprice1019]

@@EverySingleSunday Cheers

[@rso1411]

Travis, I'm getting ready to do this, but need to know first, do you not need to hook of the other wires such as the antenna, speed sensor, and heat sensor? I wanted to make sure before I jump into this project.

[@EverySingleSunday]

None are required. It's nice to have them. I just didn't have the extra wires as this was a used system I browed from my other bike that day

[@jmtel1]

Thanks for sharing, happy trails…..

[@EverySingleSunday]

Hope it helped

[@SteveHofsaess]

Is this GPS better than the Ktm app, for Navigation which works thru your phone?

[@EverySingleSunday]

It has some amazing features I love using. Check out my latest video on the BikeBandit channel. We use this for a 300 mile ride through Mexico

[@rso1411]

Good question, I was wondering the same thing.

[@montaego]

Anyone in Canada using a Trail tech device? how do the maps compare with backroad map books? Would you go TT or Garmin?

[@EverySingleSunday]

The tracks were there when I went up a couple years ago. And you can overlay any map you want to make it even better

[@P4ddyC4ke]

Did you pick switched or always on and why?

[@EverySingleSunday]

I went with switched so it doesn't get left on and kill my battery.

[@rso1411]

That was my question also. I was sure someone else would ask also, so I read the comments before asking. He should have made that a little more clear. Thanks for asking.

[@LGSJARNA]

The ACC1/2 wires looks yellow and brown, but the connecting cables are red and black. Which one to I connect the red wire to?

[@EverySingleSunday]

It’s been years, I can’t remember. Black / brown is probably the ground.

[@martyn_g]

Stupid question! Do you have to remove the instrument panel? Stupidly I’ve rounded off the lower Allen bolt!!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Yes, you do. Might be able to work around it but I didn't try. I would buy a high quality allen wrench and try it again

[@vanlifefishing]

Do you have any trips to Ocotillo planned before the end of the season ?

[@EverySingleSunday]

I do not. Not really a big desert fan. I usually do a new years trip with some friends but missed it this year

[@sdefiel3719]

Does this fit on the 390 Adventure with the larger Givi windshield? thx S

@@EverySingleSunday Have you tried a cell phone using GAIA or some other GPS app? Why do you prefer the TrailTech over a phone?

[@peterscheffer4521]

So, one of the bolts that goes through the headlight housing, into the headlamp unit, does not come loose. Seems the thread is warped, or the innercoil is loose in the unit. Yuk.

Definitely not cool. I would contact the dealership if it’s close to you and you can’t get it out. Bummer
