Rottweiler Performance - KTM 790 / 890 Intake System

[@RottweilerPerformance]

Excellent video Travis! We are glad the install was that easy for you. People have been asking if it is difficult and we give it a 4 out of 10, 10 being most difficult. This is actually one of the easiest installs of any intake we make so we are excited to get them out! www.rottweilerperformance.com/fuel-air-24/

[@EverySingleSunday]

I'm excited to get out and put some time on it. Such a beautiful Product

[@JamesLG4]

I pre-ordered a carbon intake. One question, do you have to route the wiring harness on the bottom of the subframe? Could I route it like it is in factory configuration or is there some clearance issue?

[@EverySingleSunday]

@@JamesLG4 It should go up along the top like it came from the factory without any issues. Although, there's not the factory location for a zip tie to hold it in place Just looks way cleaner along the bottom 🤘

[@RottweilerPerformance]

@@JamesLG4 You can do either / or really. We designed it to route low to keep the top really clean and free from ugly stuff, but you can still zip tie it to the frame. It is very safe where we have it and has been raced tested many times. There is nothing down there that will touch it and down low it just disappears and makes the top look so clean. One thing Travis didn't show it that you can tuck the whole alarm plug that almost no one uses down just above the foam strip and it completely hides and you never see it.

@@RottweilerPerformance Thanks for the reply and info. Looking forward to December! Thanks Travis as well.

Travis very detailed instructional how to video a must save for when it will be ready next year. Your mentorship on the trail and upgraded parts for the 790 r are very appreciated, two thumbs up! Ride safe and hope to see you out on the trail soon.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks Jeremy. ROTTWEILER should have an even more detailed video on the installation pretty soon I just didn't want to make this one 45 minutes long Thanks again 🤘

[@anacondaeight]

Great Video. I did find the video on the Rottweiler site more up to date (understandable!) and they have changed/shaved a few steps.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Ya, they definitely did a more step by step install when they had time. This was the first one out and I was in a time crunch

[@TRCa51]

Great video Travis! Looking forward to my next build! Cheers!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Thanks. Get that 890 and let's ride 🤘

[@crash969]

Great Video. Would love to do that ride. It’s on the list

[@nolimitdualsport703]

Great video.. Enjoy the LABToV good route this year I'm laying the ribbon for day one tomorrow.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Awesome. I have never done it before and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for putting the time out there

@@EverySingleSunday Hope you enjoyed it! Sadly I couldn't attend this year first one I've missed in 12 years.

[@mariusnavickas101]

Hi Travis, thanks for another great video. I have bought 790 a couple of months ago (I admit one of the reasons was your videos). I wonder, have you had many technical issues with your 790? Many people (including myself) are afraid of low reliability of KTMs. So far I have had oil leak from front sprocket shaft and coolant leak and a bit of brake fluid leak and hope this could be it :) Apart from leaking stuff bike is amazing (I come from F800 GS and its like day and night)

[@EverySingleSunday]

I had a leak from my front sprocket but that's the only issue I've had... And it was very minimal Hopefully everything else is taken care of on your bike by the dealership.

[@mariusnavickas101]

nice piece of kit for sure, thank you

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@NMdesertracer]

I got a orange one on pre order!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Awesome. Those look fantastic. I love the orange

[@jeffelmore7250]

Well, if I ever move to a big boy bike, this looks like a great upgrade.

[@EverySingleSunday]

It's crazy these bikes come with a little paper filter. This is a must have fir anyone that wants to offroad the bike

[@peterwouters2364]

Great and helpful video! I wonder where is the advantage of having this air filter box above the OEM one with oiled foam filter and the Rottweiler Performance Powerplate. Having the new box, you lose the pre-filter.

[@EverySingleSunday]

The pre-filter is to protect the cheap crappy paper filter that comes in the bike The setup is 100 times better for anybody who rides in dirt and Dusty conditions. It's easier to wash, filters better, and makes a lot more power

[@peterwouters2364]

@@EverySingleSunday thanks. I currently run the Guglatech air filter (oiled) in combination with the Rottweiler pre-filter (oiled).

[@finrampe]

How do you like it Travis? Worth the effort?

[@EverySingleSunday]

I haven't ridden it yet. Still have my bike torn apart for an event coming up next week. I'm not so interested bin the power gains. I'm mostly interested in it protecting my bike from dirt and debris. The factory stuff is terrible and way too small for this beast

[@finrampe]

@@EverySingleSunday I'm with you on dirt protection over max power gains but as I've seen on your videos we have similar interest in mis-using this big bike in places where one would be better off with trials bike - I'm keen to hear your experience how airbox affects on bike low rpm feel and response. Feel free to reply with a video =)

[@TheDavidGoldmanphoto]

How difficult was it to get to those screws that tighten down those metal clamp rings. They seem a bit burried no?

[@EverySingleSunday]

Not bad at all. The screwdriver reaches them just fine

[@TheDavidGoldmanphoto]

@@EverySingleSunday Oh good, because that part looked like potentially the most swear inducing of the whole thing. Thank you!!

[@alphonsvanmaanen]

Great clear install vid Travis! I've popped for a carbon matt finish (sex) box :) Do you know if Rottweiler are bringing out a 'filter' skin to suit the new pod filter? That'd be great for our dusty conditions, downunder.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Me and you think the same. Dry carbon is the only way to go I haven't heard about a pre-filter yet but maybe Chris will see this question and chime in

[@EverySingleSunday]

I am not sure. Maybe Chris can chime in about that one if he sees this

[@alphonsvanmaanen]

@@EverySingleSunday Cheers Travis! Paging Chris to the ‘orange’ phone....

[@Parakitedude]

Are there a lid over or is it just the saddle?

[@EverySingleSunday]

Just the seat covers the top No need for a lid

[@boblawrence3838]

Hi thanks for the video. I was just wondering what oil you use for the filter?

[@EverySingleSunday]

I use twin air oil. I submerge the filter to ensure it’s full oiled and then work it out

[@camilomanuelalejandrodonos5799]

Hello man, quick question, once I change the intake system, in the first on of the motorcycle, I need to put on ralenti some time or something similar for a few minutes?

[@EverySingleSunday]

Sorry, I don’t understand the question

[@camilomanuelalejandrodonos5799]

@@EverySingleSunday sorry if my question was not clear. I already changue the intake, I know that we don’t need to re map the bike. My question is, once I install the intake in the first ignition of the bike, we need to let the bike running for a few minutes before put a gear and start to used the bike?

[@EverySingleSunday]

No. I just start it up and ride.

[@camilomanuelalejandrodonos5799]

@@EverySingleSunday thanks man…now I have all o want in my bike, 15T sprocket, arrow decath, miv exaust, two finger clutch, wild earth two lever set, etc. Thanks for your videos, nice ride.

Getting famous off of comments day 176, so I can live the dream, live life to the fullest🤙🚀

[@superdukerandy]

Thanks for this vid Travis. wondering if I need a power commander with the Arrow mid pipe/cat delete and this intake? Range is important to me which is why I've been reluctant to install a PC as maps typically reduce gas mileage. I'm also not looking for performance gains; just less heat w/ cat removal and better filtration. Also wondering about the mating surface with the intake and the element, whether or not there's a wide enough mating surface to reduce dirty air ingestion in this area? I use axle grease between on my 300.

[@RottweilerPerformance]

Randy, this question is actually THE most common and it's understandable as to why. You do not have to remap at all, the bike using the stock narrow band O2's does a great job and simply keeping your air fuel ratio at the standard economic 14.7 AFR. That's certainly safe, but the bike will benefit greatly from remapping via Power Commander V and you can always add a map switch so you can have both economy and power when you want it. The air box alone is about 9+ HP at 6300 RPM and the Power Commander adds about 6 more, mostly with ignition advance. Bottom line though, you can run a decat and the airbox with stock mapping with no issues whatsoever. The whole idea of 'making it lean' does not apply when a computer is always correcting the fueling.

[@superdukerandy]

@@RottweilerPerformance Ok that sounds great Chris. Bought the mid pipe from you but haven't put it on yet. How about the sound? Is there an intake howl over stock? If you're familiar I had a Moto Hooligan airbox on my old SDR and it would beat like a drum.

[@RottweilerPerformance]

@@superdukerandy These sound awesome. Because of the configuration of the bike the sound comes from near the muffler area and is under the seat. It's not in your face like the 990 Adventure, but most people love that sound from that bike too.

[@EverySingleSunday]

Well, looks like you got the answer you needed from the man himself 🤘

[@superdukerandy]

@@EverySingleSunday I hope this new box helps the torque down low. Looking at the graph it seems like it does. I'd go 15T up front but like that 240+ mile range that the Tenere lacks.

[@andrewshanbrom6567]

Has anyone been able to confirm that this kit will fit the 890? I understand the 890 has a revised subframe and I want to be sure this fits before I order it. Also, which version of the kit will be better at standing up to the rocks and vibration - carbon or plastic?

[@EverySingleSunday]

I would call ROTTWEILER and ask them. They should know better than anyone 👍

[@dannywade1783]

Could you also use filter skin's with these?

[@EverySingleSunday]

If you find one that fits, I don't see why it would But with that much filter area, you probably don't need one You could carry a second filter easily in the side pods of you're on a big trip

[@andybowyer3602]

I wonder if this is the same or similar to the 890R DUKE intake system??

[@andybowyer3602]

After watching 5 min of video I can answer my own question! NO ITS NOTHING LIKE THE DUKE INTAKE!! 👊✊💨👍

[@EverySingleSunday]

I know Rott has a 890 Duke in the shop. They might have something coming for that beast as well
