KTM 390 Adventure | MTC, ABS, Ride Modes: REVIEW and Off-road DEMONSTRATION | ADVinJapan #47

[@RYwoodview]

Wow, fabulous demonstration. Shows that KTM's programming is very well tuned in most cases, just switching from On-Road to Off-Road modes in appropriate conditions. Thank you!

[@advinjapan]

Thank you for watching, yeah it’s really good for us middle-of-the-road riders for sure 👍. Safe riding🤟🏻!

[@icemuppet361]

thank you so much for the video, the fact that there are different ride modes and also different settings for each abs and mtc, is confusing. you made it so much better. thanks for the real world testing as well. i have the 2023 and I cannot say enough good things about this bike. so much fun. i was turning everything off when i just wanted to turn off ABS for the most part

[@advinjapan]

Before this video was exactly in your position. I do the research and put these videos up so you don’t have, so it makes me happy to hear they are helpful 🙏👍.

[@carlolikes7626]

Just what I was looking for, thanks...

[@advinjapan]

Glad I cloud be of service!

Thanks for sharing this

[@advinjapan]

Thank you!

[@lunarluna]

What a superb presentation and demonstration of the different settings. I agree off-road mode is the go to for me as well.

[@advinjapan]

Thank you, yes, just a perfect blend of control and freedom imo.

[@assolovyev]

Nice guide

Awesome video sir! Well explained. 👌

Thanks dude!

[@janvanhaas2826]

New follower here, you went to an amazing level of detail, thanks for the hard work putting this together!

[@advinjapan]

Thanks for the sub and glad it all helped out!

[@hillquestdualsport]

Thanks for taking the time to make these comparisons. I usually keep mine in the "moderate" mode all the time unless I am in the rain, then it goes to street mode. I find my 2 stroke hard enduro experience has really made my 390 offroad riding experience much more confident too. thanks again.

[@advinjapan]

My pleasure👍. Yeah, I really wish I had that background, myself. I’ve done that kind of riding only once and it’s no joke🤣.

[@sreekanthkondeti-y3d]

Appreciate your efforts ❤

[@advinjapan]

Thanks for appreciating!

[@sdkrum]

Great video- love the videography and excellent editing - keep up the great work! Really nice explanation and demonstration of the two functionalities and how they interact.

[@advinjapan]

Thank you Steve🙏

[@discopunkgr]

Good job as always! Glad someone took the time to clear things up. Cheers!

[@advinjapan]

Thank you! 🤟🏻

[@rucksterman]

Fantastic video that clearly explains the different electronic interventions. I love off-road ride mode on my 390, it just hooks up in every condition, however I wasnt aware that off-road ride mode affected ABS. This knowledge will save me the trouble of switching ABS to off-road independently. Thank you!

[@advinjapan]

Thank you! Yeah, I’m not 100% on this, but it appears so. And if that’s the case, then I’m not sure why there is still an abs setting 🤔.

[@advinjapan]

@gjn201 totally agree, and common sense would suggest this because what would be the point of having separate modes for ABS if they were affect by ride modes. That’s said, my demonstration, while not completely void of external influence, suggested otherwise. Cheers!

[@advinjapan]

@gjn201 sorry, I accidentally removed gjn’s comment. He mentioned that it says abs isn’t affected by ride modes in the 2023 manual, my reply is above.

[@gjn201]

@@advinjapan And to make it even more confusing the 2024 product page says that it does change it! Can't find the 2024 manual yet to see what it says.

[@advinjapan]

@@gjn201 that's hilarious. Thanks so much for your diligence. I will look into this and add an update to the description noting what you've found.

[@GregoryVog]

Amazing video 👏👏

[@advinjapan]

Thanks Greg!

[@markderooy8196]

Always great presentations. I watch every episode, even though I have an older 390 duke. If you see this message, I was hoping to see how the Maxca c5 pro is going? I am thinking about getting one. Cheers Mark.

[@advinjapan]

Thanks Mark. The C5 is alright. Not as responsive as I’d like. And one particular ride it kept shutting off. I don’t know if it was because I hadn’t locked the unit in the mount with the screw on the back or if it was the temperature outside. Hasn’t happened again, but I also haven’t ridden in those temps since. For the price, can’t complain though 🤣

[@markderooy8196]

@@advinjapan Thanks for the quick response. I think I will get one. I have a quad lock for my I phone. I just don’t like it out in the sun.

[@sanjaxz]

Brilliant work, subbed!

[@advinjapan]

Thank you sir!

[@Hkmmotologs]

Brilliant!.. We appreciate your effort to make this video, it looks easy but as a rider and filmmaker I know how time consuming and tiring it is to do such videos :). KTM should use or license this video to explain and show how these modes work and differentiate :)

[@advinjapan]

Haha, thank you so much for the kind words, friend. I almost killed my computer with the rendering on this one 🤣. I really like your stuff too btw 👍.

[@Hkmmotologs]

@@advinjapan Ha ha.. Those were some mediocre experiments I tried a long time ago during my learning days :D.. I will soon convert it into a motovlog channel that's why the this page handle :)

[@advinjapan]

@@Hkmmotologs I’d love to see those videos 👍

[@flyinghigh370]

Thanks for such a good detailed video! Sadly in the USA I can’t get Offroad ride mode on my 2020. I’ll have to see if it makes the bike unridable on dirt where you need wheel slip on hill climbs. Could turn MTC off but that’s a hassle every time you turn bike off. Thanks for the 390 entertainment!

[@advinjapan]

She’s still amazing without it. Ride modes are just raining wheels is all.

[@kylenash8013]

Great Job on the video! It definitively shows how much work you put into it. Loving my KTM 390!

[@advinjapan]

Thanks so much, yeah my computer hates me for making it render 3 layers of 4k footage🤣.

[@jacknimble1]

Good stuff again. I like that you don't mind getting tossed off your bike. That's how you will get good at riding or really anything.

[@advinjapan]

Thank a lot. Yeah, I have a weird habit of laughing every time I fall 🤣.

[@rjsmith26]

Sublime mate! As always awesome vid... You really put heart on what you do and it makes the difference, congrats!

[@advinjapan]

Thank you so much, really appreciate the support 🤛.

[@johnniefritzamatong5639]

Ohayo! Thank you so much for making this video. It really helped a me lot to further understand MTC. Really, I never touch the setting. I did however felt it's interventions many times on high speed turns where the engine is like shutting off, was there a lean angle sensor / cornering ABS also😅 for the 390? Sorry never felt that. But I'm deeply interested on MTC as I'm a proud owner of one but not mastered or at least understood the full benefits, not untill you did the video soooo happy! I struggle searching on KZbin and I only found two so far and your is more detailed. Again thank you and safe ride! Sayonara! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🎌🎌🎌

[@advinjapan]

Hey no problem, glad you found it helpful! I was in your shoes too mate, I just sat down, figured it out, and put on KZbin 😅

[@katramana6469]

Brilliant presentation!!!

[@advinjapan]

Thank you sir🫡

[@BlueChart]

Nice video‼️ WE LOVE "しょうがない" right?

[@advinjapan]

Haha, thanks! And thanks for coming today👍.

[@gilm.2109]

Light is right 👍😊

[@advinjapan]

Amen

[@RonOrud]

Most of the ABS and MTC are due to laws in some countries. That is why most bikes now have e them. They are being forced into bikes, but with off road mode, it is excellent . I don’t mind safety if it is safe off road too.

[@advinjapan]

Totally agree, Ron. Thanks

[@AlexandruGaal]

Great video, you must have put some work into it! One question though, your bike is a 2021 model, right? How come you have the ride modes feature?

[@advinjapan]

Hey thanks a lot, yes, this was very time consuming but worth it. The ride modes are available through an update to the TFT. You can watch my video about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2irY4KJbLqYnZIfeature=shared. Be sure to read the description and comments, very useful👍.

[@AlexandruGaal]

@@advinjapan thank you!

[@SandeshWaikarOfficial]

When the mtc interviens the mtc logo flashes on the dash; right, is it same for when the abs interviens?

[@advinjapan]

That’s a good question, I am assuming so yes.

[@SandeshWaikarOfficial]

@@advinjapanbut no matter how hard I squeeze the lever l I have never seen it intervene, plus I'm not happy with adv 390 braking performance especially the front.

[@advinjapan]

@@SandeshWaikarOfficial it shouldn’t intervene if you’re in ABS: off-road mode hardly ever. Only if excessive front wheel lock up is detected.

[@SandeshWaikarOfficial]

@@advinjapan even in road mode it has never interviened.

[@advinjapan]

@@SandeshWaikarOfficial wow, maybe something wrong with the abs sensor?

[@guystevens162]

Great video. At moment am on version 10 software so don't have the off road mode. What software version is yours. 😊

[@advinjapan]

Thanks dude! I can’t remember but I think it’s 10.6.

[@guystevens162]

@advinjapan ah right cool. Think when goes for service will have to tell them. As this update is out but seems some KTM dealers don't know 🤔

[@advinjapan]

@guystevens162 do it, it’s an unbelievable difference. The dealers should know. If they don’t show them my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2irY4KJbLqYnZI. They need to contact KTM central to get an ABS hex file. Once they install that, the update is possible. They need that hex file though, if not the update will only update the meter and ECU and you won’t have ride modes.

[@ferkuzuel]

Exelent video, with traction control on off road mode on my 690 It just made me look like I was a better rider than I actually was Thanks for sharing 😂

[@advinjapan]

@@ferkuzuel haha, I totally get you. It’s like training wheels. Eventually you may not need the electronics. That’s the idea.

[@SuperFrodo95]

Love how much you've learned about the 390 ADV. Stuff that KTM didn't feel like sharing. There's a lot of potential in these bikes for how little they cost. Also good to know that I don't need to change the ABS mode whenever I go offroad, just the ride mode.

[@advinjapan]

Totally reciprocal, makes me happy to see you care 🙏. Yeah, I thought it would the other way around with ABS, so I was shocked too.

[@KairyuRider]

Hey, I’m living in Kanto, thinking of dipping my toe into off road riding. How easy is it to find off road in Japan? I never see options out riding

[@advinjapan]

Hey, thanks for dropping by. If you use Facebook or instrgram go ahead and pm me and I’ll send you hundreds of kilometers of tracks you can open in google maps.

[@KairyuRider]

@advinjapan hey, just followed you, thanks in advance. Still ride my mt07, but hoping to change bikes soon, so those trails will be a great help

[@advinjapan]

@kairyurider thanks, is that on Facebook or instagram? Go ahead and private message me so I can send you the link.
