KTM 790 Adventure Protection Combo Installation

[@tomd4068]

I installed mine this Afternoon. I left original tank guards on. I had to do some trimming. The crash bar holds it in place

[@timogronroos4642]

I think the design should have left room for original plastic tank protection to stay in place. There can be situations where something can get through between the "orange" pipes and tank is now more vulnerable

[@lankmd]

I've had this very think happen. Dropped it in soft sand and there was a rock hiding in the sand that scratched up the tank.

[@cracotator]

Nice work as always, looks very solid ! I have 2 questions : - everything looks very rigid, aren't you afraid that all the forces of a crash will go directly to the frame ? Some parts of the crash bars or skid plate should bend during the crash instead of putting all the energy on the frame don't u think ? To compare with sw motech I think they got it all wrong : crash bars and skid plate are all fixed to the engine...crazy !! - about ventilation : compare to the original skid plate, yours have only 4 ventilations on the top end.

[@DomMcCarthy]

Mine went on pretty easily but the bolts came without the torx insets - just silver flat-headed regular bolts - this made it a bit harder to tighten the ones beneath the crap flap on the front of the bars. Otherwise - very good job!

[@kalleknatterten4536]

Good Job but no washers? I recommend using these among the screwheads . Why isn't it in completely black?

[@kris-b-crunch4291]

Why no washers under the hex head bolts?

[@nigelspoljaric8363]

Another install video suggests leaving the petrol tank covers on at bottom and cut a little away from the pipes. Is this correct.

[@shaneworld]

Hi guys, like the bars, however looking at the axp skid plate, will your bars work with the skid plate?

[@airfoil]

Looks good! A lot of load on those two small torx bolts up front and no washers either for all that hardware - didn't seem to me like anything had countersinks. Also, could the smaller piece of the bash plate have more vents?

[@majsfree]

Hello, I'm trying to remove my Motortek crash bars (790R) to change the oil but I got few bolts damaged ... can you please give me the specs for the smaller ones (T25) and the ones in the bottom (HX5)? Thank you very much.

[@ramirojorge2887]

Are you planning to develop crash bars for the upper side of the bike ? I'm looking for a way to protect the radiator coolant reservoir.

[@Outbackmotortek]

Ramiro Jorge we’ll consider!

[@ramirojorge2887]

@@Outbackmotortek thanks :)

[@scottevans3389]

Looks great. I would like to see an option without the tank crash bars, keeping the underframe rails. But be able to keep the plastic tank protectors and have more protection to stop mud filling up around the underside of the fuel tank. Good job though.

[@d.c5799]

I have the centre stand and want to buy your skid plate/crash bar combo. Did you ever settle whether the KTM OEM centre stand will work with the Outback skid plate?

[@Outbackmotortek]

I’m sorry, but it’s still not confirmed if the OEM KTM center stand is compatible.

[@harf4ng]

You do not have a version with higher crash bars? They are very low. Also on your website you say it is compatible with your center stand. Is it also compatible with the ktm center stand? Thanks

[@Outbackmotortek]

Julien Pham haven’t tried the OEM KTM centre stand yet

[@harf4ng]

@@Outbackmotortek What do you call OEM BTW? The thing is, I have bought this center stand months ago and I'll have it in February. I want your protection device. But I would not like it to not be compatible with my center stand :)

[@lorrygombos3265]

@@harf4ng OEM is the original KTM accessory. I haven't seen this in their listings, yet. Your best bet is to get our centre stand.

[@harf4ng]

@@lorrygombos3265 the problem is, I already bought the ktm one months ago. Though I still do not have it. But I got a promo with this stand free with my bike. Should we remove the center stand to install this crash bar? So I can check if this is compatible before starting? Also is it easy to put on? Thanks

[@gsadvgsadv3827]

@@harf4ngAnd is de KTM center stand compatible with this crash bar?

[@totyrasta]

Hello, where I can find the center stand that has the bike please?

[@Outbackmotortek]

@@totyrasta what’s your country of residence?

[@lankmd]

I can't get the large bolt to line up by the kickstand. Any tips?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Refer to the updated installation video, please: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2Gnon2mrs6lr5o Also, put the bike on a paddock stand or ask someone to keep it safely in a fully vertical position.

[@simonhantler8062]

Do both oil drain screws come out passed the crash bars?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Simon Hantler you can have access to the oil drain plug at the lowest position on the oil pan.

[@ToCoolToBeOld]

Thread lock sets between 5-10 minutes. If you take too long before you tighten the bolts it will have lost its locking properties surely. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Outbackmotortek]

Bruce Stott never heard of this. I never take longer than 20-30 seconds

[@ToCoolToBeOld]

@@Outbackmotortek I use Loctite 243 & that's what time frame it has for assembly.

[@floydbrown2142]

Its not a real new type of adhesive actually, but it is an anaerobic threadlocking adhesive. It requires the "absence of air to cure" like threads, threaded.

[@harf4ng]

So you have to remove the tank plastic protection to install that right?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Julien Pham yes but no problems during the torture test kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqxmIufe7GSrtk

[@harf4ng]

Do you have to remove the tank plastic cover or could you keep it? I wonder so I could have another layer of protection to protect the tank from rocks.

[@Outbackmotortek]

Julien Pham some customers have managed to reinstall it but with minor modifications only

[@harf4ng]

@@Outbackmotortek also when I removed the original skid plate there was a black tube connected to a hole in the skid plate. Unsure what to do with this tube, there is no such hole in your skid place to put that. Thanks

[@Outbackmotortek]

Julien Pham leave it where it is.

[@harf4ng]

@@Outbackmotortek you mean I leave it hanging in the skid plate? Alongside the exhauster? What exactly is this tube for? Thanks

[@Outbackmotortek]

Move it away from the exhaust. 10,000km on our 790 and no problems

[@filzli]

I tried installing it today and gave up after a few hours. The left side cannot pass a side stand bolt, need to grind it off.

[@Outbackmotortek]

Please don’t install the combo with the bike on the side stand! Cutting and modifications are definitely not necessary!

[@filzli]

@@Outbackmotortek Well there was absolutely no way to clear the side stand bolt to which the spring is attached to. Took me while until i figured it out where the problem was, although by then it was easy to see as the paint came off where it was rubbing against that bolt. Happy to provide you photos.

[@veiledallegory]

How do you install this if you can’t install it on the side stand???

[@Outbackmotortek]

veiledallegory ask somebody to keep in a secure, vertical position or use a paddock swing arm lift

[@legghorn]

As I see it correctly there will be no protection for the fuel pumps?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Marcus Deubel where do you see the fuel pump in the video?

[@legghorn]

@@Outbackmotortek my fault. It wasn't the fuel pump. But the downside of the fuel tank and the fueling system components underneath are not protected anymore? So a limb can damage this parts?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Marcus Deubel technically it can but there’s no guarantee to protecting every inch of bikes.

[@TAMBUTSO]

Is this combo available?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Discontinued. We’re working on an updated version

[@ljubott]

Nice job 👍 # 162

[@veiledallegory]

So it looks like the back of the crash bars actually mounts to the engine. Not good!

[@Outbackmotortek]

Don’t jump to conclusion, please. It’s the frame and the frame is connected to the engine. We already brutally drop tested the crash bars.

[@robsonenduro3316]

and you made this ugly bike even more wider...BTW this low hanging tank was supposed to be crash capable according to KTM...

[@Outbackmotortek]

Robson Enduro 1 inch/25mm wider. Does it make any difference? None tbh
