The way he rides that big bike like a plastic is amazing. Good ol Birchie

I also had a 2013 1190 R with 125k km on. never had issues. Tubeless rim band was always a once you remove it replace it with a new one,but nothing a little rtv silicone in the groove couldn't fix. Fuel gauge was an easy fix. Just take the float out the tube and sand down a little smaller. Never...

By the look at this here model discussions seems everybody is mostly happy and no serious problems to report anymore. Worst case is flat battery's by the looks of things. It is probably one of the better/reliable KTM's to buy at the moment. Are the guys that still own the 1190/1290 still...

Side stand made of steel. You can def weld something on there.

Very Nice. GLWTS

Hi Rob could you PM me details. I would like to purchase one. Many thanks

I wanted to do this with my 1190 but never got around to it. Now i have a 1290 and those headlights are something else. Glad you got a good fix.

I Did 90 k km on my previous 1190 with the lid gasket and DNA filter. Washed after every ride and oiled up again and never had dust get through. Just talking from personal experience and never had issues with the dust coming through the air filter.

Why?

All good sir. Those are good panniers too.

I have a set of silver sw motech boxes thick and thin that was used a handful of times if you are interested . I just don't have the brackets but can be purchased separately.

The sw motech panniers come in a thin and thick one. Thin one goes on exhaust side and thick one on the other. The pannier brackets already made for them to fit like that. They end up being symmetrical behind the bike and don't stick out past the handlebars.

Very nice looking bike. To bad we don't have proper dealers in our country. I had a caponord back in the day and was one of my favorite bikes I've owned.

Thanks for the reply. Sweet looking Bike.

Good Price for one of the last 1190s. Looks great. Are those side covers under the seat ktm Powerparts? GLWTS

Thanks Etienne. Good to hear. I have the kriega os dry bags. Definitely looking at buying the us bags then. Will chat closer to that time.

Etienne how do you find the kriega os luggage? Looking at getting myself a set for the 1290. I like the rackless system but just want to know how they are holding up?

Eina Fok.

I say 1290 for the win. :cool: One twist of the throttle you enter hyper speed missing near every obstacle in the way. Like mentioned above... what do you want to achieve? look like Chris burch or just do the calm gravel roads. Go test ride all the bikes you mentioned. The right one will find you.

Probably but mostly everyone knows that 25k km is nothing for this engine. Yamaha do make solid bikes and engines. I like my KTM's but id rather take the T7 with 40 k km than the 790 with 20k km. I'm not fond of the parallel ktm engines. They still have much to learn and develop on them. The ktm...
