New 2022 KTM 390 Adventure! 14 Things to Know!

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Correction I mistakenly said six instead of Single when talking about Cylinders. Thanks for catching that Fireblade.

[@Fireblade-fz9gk]

No problem 👍

[@PeterParker-ot8pl]

But then you doubled down on it saying 4 valves per cylinder. Not convinced it was a slip of the tongue... Do you even ride bro?

[@monolunarazul]

Also you said 27 Newton for torque, it is 37.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

@@monolunarazul actually I said 27 ft lbs, I am American we don't do Newton

[@VKumar-zy1rb]

Torque as well

[@andrewtreloar7389]

Its now a more complete, well-rounded package for 2022. The firmware upgrades that control the electronics and gives us switchable TC and ABS, as well as setting memory has made this bike the King of the small-bore adventure tourers

Great video Mike good information on these models from other manufacturers!

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Thank you!

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

nice host, great presentation. thank you for putting comparison data on the same page makes it easier to understand.

Thanks you!

I love this bike! I own a 2022 390 adv and it is amazing after you break it in.

[@windridermaui]

Great overall review of the KTM Adventure. It looks really well made. I wish they had the Adventure in 2019. Nevertheless, I modified my KTM 390 Duke into an Adventure...If they were available where I'm at, I'd considering getting one. Thanks again for a thorough review. Aloha from Maui🤙

[@billfinch800]

Does anyone know if the 2020 models are getting the software upgrade in the USA? I read somewhere in a magazine that KTM is updating the hex file so we can use the new Offroad/Onroad features

[@bfranco1519]

Perfect bike for Maui!

[@mssippijim]

Great video. Liked and subbed. I plan to go and look at one of these this Friday. Looks perfect for my type riding.

Great vid, mate. Cheers for the info!

[@windridermaui]

Thanks for the update Mike 🤙 Just traded in my Duke for a 2022 Adventure!

[@Emperorx3g]

How is ktm adventure? In terms of reliability. I had a ktm rc 250 and it was very delicate and costly. Nothing reliable like a honda or kawasaki.

[@FBosch99]

Love how you talk about the standard exhaust and proceed to immediately show an aftermarket one on the bike 😂

[@650nelson]

Just got back from the expo in Flagstaff az. 900 miles, no problem whatsoever. Hauled my fat carcass 70 mph all day. I would like to get the software flashed to keep the settings, we'll see how that goes

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

I really want to ride a new one, with Gas prices would be a great commuter and have some mild offroad fun on.

[@Fireblade-fz9gk]

Whst do you mean by six cylinder engine?.. I thought ktm adv 390 is 1 cylinder engine

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

I meant to say single cylinder, thanks for the catch I will pin a correction in the comments. Unfortunately KZbin will not let me edit the audio once a video is published

[@pranavkumar88005]

Hey Bro it was nice review I had I have a question to you.... In previous adventure there was a problem with rear suspension so in this 2022 segment did they solve it ? Thanks in advance 😊

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

If they did it was not mentioned in anything I saw, but then again that is not the kind of thing manufacturers send to point out because they don't want to acknowledge they had an "issue" generally

[@MrAskhaldi]

Thanks for great video.. I have 2021 model.. when my bike run 20,000 K . I have problem with rear suspension.. I found it spill all oil in ground .. and I ask the agent her very very expensive comparing to motorcycle price ..

Thanx for the review. I am a 50 years old total beginner and thinking to buy my first bike (I am 1,83 cm high with 105 kg). The cb500x is on the top of my list but also the ktm 390 adventure and the CFmoto MT650.... Difficult to choose, want to have a practical bike for commuting but also go on some touring in my country with enough power and not 'difficult' for a beginner as me. Ride safe and regards from Serbia 🇷🇸✌️

[@bacbladerunner]

You would probably enjoy it more with bar risers, black dog foot pegs (lower by 1/2") and maybe the KTM Ergo seat (1/2" taller and more comfortable).

[@justyno3264]

Great review, thanks! I’m 1,87 cm tall and I have 105 kg. Is the bike to small for me?

[@anthonydendle4768]

So just color change and 5 spoke wheels after all those points 👍 compared to 2021

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

Those points are about the bike as whole for those they may not be familiar with previous models, don't forget they added another riding mode and fixed the ABS issues related to a stall and restart forcing you to fix the ABS every time. As I understand it that was big complaint.

[@anthonydendle4768]

[@harryg3889]

You commented on the exhaust “ precision crafted” but I think I see some exhaust pipes that look different than the rectangular exhaust viewed at the beginning of this portion of the video 😊Am I seeing that wrong?

[@pinkiewerewolf]

The suspension on this bike is incredible. I take this thing through concrete drainage ditches at speed and basically feel nothing.

[@gabrielkopp2036]

I would have bought one if it was available with 21/18 spoked wheels..that was the deal breaker for me.. I don't want tubeless alloy wheels on an adventure bike

[@p-dub7422]

Great review! I just stumbled on to this video. How is the road ability on the highway and for a daily bike? Do you think the horsepower will cause the bike to struggle on the highway and if you decided to do some 150 mile days or something like that. I will check it out but would like to know more about it's road abilities. Thanks

[@georgefairweathermoonlight4]

checkout madtv review, seem to be fine

[@jphaxx]

I’ve ridden the duke 390 and even at 80 everything is smooth and the bike still has legs to go a little bit more

[@human1513]

It will do 105 mph!

[@devilsden3326]

Would this be a good commuter i have to go to the next town for work which is 40+ miles

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

I think it would be good for that assuming the ergo's are a fit and your looking for something that isn't purely a highway bike.

[@kevingonsalvez4761]

My only question is, would the 2020-21 models get the ride modes with an ECU update or are we just going to hang in there??

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

I did not see anything that said but since it is a software update I hope you get it also!

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

I saw something in a article about older models getting the update. I would check with a dealer or KTM site for more info.

[@SBMotoZ]

Purchased a 22” last month Be aware the North American bikes are not getting the updated/ Stronger wheels, at least that’s what the Ktm rep said, my bike didn’t come with them Bummer

[@MrRourk]

Who is the competition Svartpilen? Verys 400?

[@bengleckl1877]

I keep hearing the ktm 390 bikes are always stalling ....i dont want a new bike and have stalling issues all the time. Can anyone chime in that has a new ktm 390?

[@chrisvonkleist3984]

I had a 2021 for 3 months then sold it. It did stall occasionally when coming to a stop, and dirt/dust migrated into the display. Not enough to get a new display under warranty, just enough to be annoying and the stalling was so inconsistent you just lived with it. I think it could be related to the throttle sensor which failed at around 700 miles. Major PITA to get dealer to replace it under warranty-which after some drama and several weeks later they did. Didn't trust it after that.

[@trroland1248]

Good review using stock footage. However, all the imperial measures are useless to anyone outside the US.

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

And because my Audience is mainly in the US it would make the most since for me to use these measurements not metric.

[@trroland1248]

@@NewBikeMikeChannel You do realize how no one in the world still understands these quaint 18th century measures anymore? Not even in neighbouring Canada. O.k., the UK still does measure distances in miles.

The traction control reset is fixed? Was that a hardware or a software fix? LED turn signals for 2022? Is that for the U.S. too? If so, can the new signals be fit on the 2021? Thanks, S

[@NewBikeMikeChannel]

I believe the fix was part of a new riding mode so assume it is all software. Sorry If I wasn't clear LED front and Rear was referring to Head Light and Taillight.

Only 1 minute into this video, and you're comparing horsepower ratings, while completely ignoring the torque figures shown on the same chart, which are MUCH higher for the 650s you're comparing the 390 to - and torque is much more important for a bike like this. No thanks, bye.

[@robertcurtis3807]

Better off with a Kawasaki KLR650S ABS with its bigger engine, more power and torque, doesn’t work as hard. Better mpg. Built from the ground up to be a true off-road dirt bike. And it is made in JAPAN.

[@ferkuzuel]

The klr650 and the dr650 both have far greater torque then the 390 and it is available at lower rpm, so the torque and hp is well balanced on those 2 bikes, if the 390 had less hp and more torque I think it would have been better IMO

[@vectorifix3218]

I’m in similar situation; 55 / 190 cm from Finland and planning to get my very first bike. I’ve looked bikes for an year now and to the finals made Honda NC700X, Suzuki DL650, CFMoto Mt 650. Honda is more street bike and no grear indicator and very low engine rev limiter. CFMoto is interesting, but so rare here that I’m a bit worried about the aftermarket. DL650’s been my number 1 choice, but it is big and heavy bike, can be intimidating. But just recently came across 390 Adventure and I’ve chosen to get one - if I fit it that is. Have to go and try one after getting my license. You cannot beat the value youget for your bucks with traction controls, quickshifters etc. Seem to be the perfect beginner bike especially taller guys. Good luck!

[@svaralen]

@@vectorifix3218 thanx you, congratulations to you and ride safe!! I leave in Serbia and dealers here don't have test motorcycle and that make more difficult to choose just on the view of the bike. But so far for me also the KTM 390 Adventure seems to be the one. Regards from Serbia 🇷🇸✌️

I ja sam zeleo da probam pre nekoliko dana 390 Adventure ali isto nisu imali dostupan model za testiranje. Umesto njega sam probao 390 duke (iako zelim iskljucivo 390 adventure) cisto da bih osetio menjac i agregat. Sve radi odlicno. Adventure je potpuno drugi tip motora, pa je besmisleno porediti sve ostalo. Na Adventure sam samo probao da sednem u salonu i ja se licno bas pronalazim na tom motoru. Cena mu je odlicna za ono sto se dobije i mislim da ce biti odlican motor za svakodnevnu upotrebu do posla kao i za putovanja. Visok sam 177, tako da bi meni bilo zgodnije da je malo nizi, a tebi mislim da ce biti idealan😄 Na kraju sam se odlucio da ga kaparisem😄
