KTM 1190R It's all about Suspension!

[@Blechbox90]

The End of this clip was quite awesome.

[@paulocarreiro5855]

Those outtakes at the end scared the living crap out of me! That's one of the differences between on and off road riders: I will try to hold on up until the last minute; you will always be looking for safe ways to get off. Brilliant stuff!

[@manmedel]

WOW ... final recordings tell a lot about you, all fail sometimes You're a great pilot. and great communicator in the world of two wheels Best regards Medel

[@lolbruah]

02:20 - Gosh, I SURE love THAT sound ! LC8

[@Cafeducati]

Great video. I love those out takes at the end!!!

[@muddysoles]

When do we all get to see you and Chris Birch riding together on those 1190s?

[@EProductions86]

It seems as if each part of the bike is somewhat dependant on one another. It's a recipe of expensive parts and a wealth of knowledge which combine to provide the most enjoyable experience.

[@rollyb5061]

love it Ada, all makes and models need fitting out, great vid

[@rorycharlton2665]

More adventure bike videos please. :) I just bought a 2018 KTM 1290 Adventure R. What a beast and great ride!

[@aaron6267]

"You probably noticed that I've been riding this bike in conditions that, I guess most people wouldn't" Simply the reason I watch. The filming and editing skills maybe a little also..

[@theirishaxe9405]

it's so awsome how you can throw that bike around!

[@giuliobuccini208]

Last year I drove my big enduro down three steps of a stair. Was so excitiing!!!!!! :)

[@jamesdepaul3410]

Great fun. Enjoyed watching your skill on that bike. Great sound too.

[@Nerb1]

That last 40 seconds is how I ride ALL the time! Geezuz I wish I could afford a real rear shock.

[@Maxijyze]

I went on an event this week. 3 days and 1000 kms tracks, 2/3 off road. Had enduro style hills and down Hill tracks, mountain tracks with lots of big rocks and big long gravel roads. Last Day i bottomed down the rear suspension and broke the mud guard/bottom of the seat with my tire. Didn't setup the suspension right. Suspension is stock from previous owner. And the front is too soft for hard stuff two. What do you think of the stock fork and suspensions? I will try to max preload forks and shock. And put rebound and compression at sport. I weight 105 kgs maybe full gear. What do you recon?

[@firstlast3395]

came off my bike just under 100kmph going over rough dirt section, basically a section of potholes. I slid and went through two acasia bushes, if you know what those are... my suspension did not have enough +rebound adjustment and the front just bounced all over the place and i came off hard. After some repairs, i will take the time to set my bike up.

[@chrisi2348]

let me just clear this up. every part of your bike is important. if one is shitty you cant ride your bike well. next video is gona be about motor , gear box ...

[@InSanCen]

Which is why his last one was all bout how important Tyres are... there's a theme, and likely, more video's.

[@foihdzas]

You are so insightful sir! I never thought a Motor and gearbox were important. How come you aren't making videos about this shit. What's next on your list, legs are some vital part of holding on to the bike? Get outa here... .. *This was intended to make you laugh, and think about your comment in a light hearted manner* ..

[@themotofixery]

agreed. it's not helpful to explain how important it is that your wheels be round. Really! didn't actually learn anything about suspension from this video. so how do you adjust the suspension, is it better to be a little harder or softer? why? what is the benefit of either? just saying the suspension is important is like reminding people it's beneficial to put your foot down when you stop or something.

[@foihdzas]

He maybe should have suggested to go to a suspension specialist, as most home gamers would have trouble properly setting up suspension, other than sag.

[@motorandesaventura609]

Hello coach, what is the recommended configuration for the 1190R, to do the same of the video and dirt roads, thanks

[@AdventureTomek]

😎✌🏼 Finally picking up a 1190 for myself

[@imds123]

Is the flashing headlight a Euro thing for safety? I like it. Not sure if we have that here in USA.

[@shaidekel6233]

Thanks Adam for the tips!

[@petek2432]

An effective suspension is a very important part of the enduro. But, do you think that the original WP suspension will not be able to adjust sufficiently good for jumping and harder use?

[@FFA_PT]

suspension it's important... and WP suspension stock from ktm are more than great :)

[@miguelmiranda9122]

Great vid as always. Loved those out takes at the end. cheers. Waiting anxiously for your next film. MOTONOMAD3, perhaps?

[@IslandRyanRCs]

hey go back to 2:17, I think somebody left a camera on that stump to your left...haha!!!

[@oli4rideandshine848]

Is the front suspension completely stock or did you change the springs or used different shock oil? Love your 1190 videos! Keep it coming!

[@marvox666]

As always great video and great advice!!

[@ADVRaiderKTM]

Adam, what are your thoughts about the 1190's suspension to the offerings on the market in 2024? Does it still hold up?

[@murwaz]

You should get someone from KTM on one of your videos, and really talk through what you do, what they expect people to do and also their reaction to what you manage on that massive monster of a bike. I dont think there is nothing that impress me more then seeing these big adventure bikes being taken out where you'd normally expect a lighter endure style bike to be riden! :D

[@zacyboi0140]

I love all your videos

[@cabrassobreruedas]

Nice video, thanks for sharing

[@AceRedBuLL25]

Awesome video

[@bansheebandithot350]

Excellent stuff 👍🏻

[@troyd-motorsport9933]

Ok Adam, how many front wheels have you squished the crap out of by now? I, like you want to push the boundarys and use my 1190 as more of a big enduro rather than a gravel road runner.. but I have made the front rim not so round..

[@BlenderBends]

Hello. Love your work and really enjoy the vids. What do you think of the RST riding gear? Seen it in the stores but don't see many riders with it. thanks

[@endurevisuals]

Nice video, Keep up the good work, if you get the chance I would like to know your thoughts on the CCM GP450 as its now available in Auz ;)

[@joelbranagan271]

love the viseos, does anyone know what helmet he uses?

[@joelbranagan271]

videos*

[@sunchemicalspb]

Adam, do you kept stock gearing, or changed the gears to suit your riding style?

[@PunkSkaful]

Yeah Chris Birch is a beast

[@robmanzanares]

I like how quiet the bike is...

[@edwardharvey1954]

great vid! Just curious, the touratech extreme on your bike, did you have the bike lowered when installing this shock? I have a 2018 ktm 1290 sar, I'm 6'0, with an inseam of 32". I have to lean to one side even when coming to a stop on level ground. Thanks for your advice

[@yarbles_]

Have u ever tried this stuff on a GS? I think it would make an amusing vid :)

Beautiful ! :D

[@5050FUTURE]

How tall are you? I'm 6'1 235lbs would this bike be good for me? How tall is Chris Birch?

[@TheDarkGTAPlayer]

If you have to ask this isn't the bike for you.

[@5050FUTURE]

+OffRoadKingdom very good answer, spoken like a true rider but coming from a street rocket zx14 and a 250Kaw will the power be good for off roading with my size because you seem maybe 175lbs soaking wet no disrespect. It's hard to get these here and when they do a test ride is out of the question. If you can't give me a yea or a nae then thanks for responding anyway. Keep making informative vids👍🏽

[@milomindabinda8115]

I reckon you'd be bang on the right size for this bike, your height (and I assume natural strength) will only help riding this in challenging terrain. I'm 6'4" and 240 and it feels good to me, though I own a TE300 and a 690 Enduro R personally. Chris Birch is a very lean 6'0", and must be around 150lbs dripping wet. He is freakishly fast on anything, has amazing natural balance and feel for the bike, and is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet!

[@TheDarkGTAPlayer]

+5050FUTURE height and size have zero factor in the ability to ride. Now throwing this bike around off-road is going to be terrible the man you watched riding it is an enduro god! his technical skills are far from measurable. I would say if you have never ridden a bike with HP and torque close to this bike especially off-road including its weight, I would stay away from it. I can say though you would sit and ride fairly comfortable on that bike with your size. As you probably know off-road and track are two different ballgames. As well as street riding is not even comparable to off-road and vice versa.

[@5050FUTURE]

+OffRoadKingdom I agree and thanks for the info, duly noted.

[@Fullsendson]

wish i could join u in taking bikes to the next level of its ability. butttttt...... my group likes the dusty old roads and prefers to ride enduro bike where a adventure bike should also be... anybody got the same prob ;-)

[@North1867]

Good infor.

[@jon...6825]

Poor bike. lol Your some pilot. Great video. Jon

[@ExplorerOffgrid]

LOVE my 1190r, really would like the extreme. but 1800usd is well, extremely expensive =D

[@RelentlessCo]

1800$ is extreme ??? well how much did you pay for yours ???

[@kwatters63]

+Fr3ShPRiNC3 I think he missed a zero in there

[@RelentlessCo]

+kwatters63 lmao oh I was gonna ask where he found one for 1800... lol I was gonna flip that for like 15k profit

[@ExplorerOffgrid]

Fr3ShPRiNC3 The shock assembly from Touratech that Adam referances in the video is $1,795.00 retail from the touratech website. www.touratech-usa.com/Store/3537/PN-371-5871/Touratech-Extreme-Rear-Shock-KTM-1190-Adventure-R The 1190r is considerably more, at least mine was.

[@kwatters63]

+Patrick Luke That makes more sense

[@helberneves2333]

Esse cara é fera

[@hughjass286]

you have got the life

[@marcelosiqueira1155]

big trail! top....

[@DRS-ok4gi]

But I thought it was all about tyres ;)

[@Tikkikoira]

It is all about that Bass!

[@jdoggaming3358]

Please reply Adam

[@PunkSkaful]

I would love to try this bike but damn the bike cost a million php... At the end tho haha so that's what happened behind the scenes haha

[@kwatters63]

I cringed every time that skid plate hit hard.

[@marcelosiqueira1155]

brazil......

[@JoeJoeMoto]

hahahah so good!!

[@tomeberhart1967]

Haha...you should become a politician, talk a lot and say nothing nothing at all! What about suspension? Ah, it is science....pfffh, go figure. And what do you need 150hp for, if you ride 5kmh over rocks and whack around the bush....jeez....really! Stick the $20K's for this lovely machine in your retirement plan, they are better off there....
