    Screeching noise

    Screeching noise

    why would you want to go from a bike like a 1290 to a underpowered dog like a T7 or a AfricaTwin , and anyway you most proberly will pay more than that for a air filter and a rear sprocket for a Honda

    Camshaft policy for 790

    I personally think they are wrong here, they know there is a problem and the aftermarket parts are there to improve the reliability problems with air intakes etc., , I would take them on legally with the service thing as well , as long as you can prove the bike has been serviced on it schedule...

    Ally Express upgrade to 890 R

    yes it does, you don't get the wind that ramps up the front of the tank so only a little buffeting around the top of the screen.

    KTM is to big to shut up shop, it will be streamlined with possibly new owners and will continue to build great bikes with kak back up service,

    FRONT BRAKE SWITCH ERROR

    the main question here is?? why you are posting about your faulty GS on a KTM 1190 page, coincidence that US KTM people may be able to help, because the BMW people rely on the dealer only, or old age and you got a bit lost,😉

    Solo picking up weight?

    OK let me piss off some people here, if you can't pick up your bike loaded, then unload it and pick it up. if you still can't pick it up then you need a smaller lighter bike, Its not the responsibility of who you ride with to pick your bike up when you fall over, it's your responsibility...

    KTM’s parent group is insolvent.

    for once you and I agree on things, but I have to say the T7 does sound a lot better than the 890, but Imagin what you could do on a 890R with proper suspension 😉
