Any tips or tricks on your Adventure motorcycle i should know? 😁
@DaneE66 2 роки тому
Adaptive Cruise Control tips for the SAS... If someone just turned out of your lane, adaptive cruise thinks they're still in your lane and will SLAM the brakes as you approach. Has scared me twice. Also, don't hit resume button by accident....... Did it at 35 and cruise was set to 65, bike took off and I nearly whiskey throttled. Sport mode cruise is quite sporty! 3rd one, trust the front abs. Give it a few full-pulls in some mud, it's scarey how well it works, even in corners.
@Rafatrompa 2 роки тому
It's also possible to lower the front end to make maneuvering easier... Just lower it on the top of the suspension arms, by 1 or 2 cm.. I did it on my 500x and it is totally worth the loss of 2cm on the suspension travel.. In your case, because it is a upside-down fork, you don't lose any suspension travel... It's a win-win situation 😊

I have endless frustration on the previous model's starter button and on/off button placement. For some idiotic reason, they placed the On/Off button at the same place where all other bikes have the start button. On all my other bikes I've owned in my years, my thumb's natural movement is to go slightly left and press the starter. So, if you're in a hurry and absentmindedly push the start button on the 1290, you're actually pushing the On/Off button. The starter function is positioned slightly higher on the cluster and is incorporated in the tilting kill switch. F*n, f*n, ridiculous...

Great video thanks. I love my 1290 SAR.... except the indicator switch (getting used to it but still a pain compared to my old Honda), the high beam switch that I keep activating accidently whenever I use the clutch, and the vague gearbox that will quite happily drop into gear 0.5 or 1.5. Also it puts out a tonne of heat around my legs, which is esp bad during a Melbourne > 35C summer day. I do wish it came with the adaptive cruise control to ameliorate the cost vs 1290 SAS.
@LifeofSmokey 2 роки тому
No heated legs here , but i live in shitty Belgium and it's always cold here 😁.
@67daltonknox 2 роки тому
I have a 1290SAS. I removed the rear header and wrapped it with Design Engineering 2inch header wrap. After reinstall, it has cut the heat to my legs and even better it has cut the heat to the shock which used to get wimpy after a 50 mile ride - not any more.

Yeah i'm a clutched wheelie guy. I had some issues with the first gen Superduke R when i was doing powerwheelies. At some point i got an extra boost of power and i almost flipped it a couple of times 😅. That's why i always power wheelie so i can do it in a higher gear. People learning to wheelie a 1290 in 1st or 2nd gear is very scary to watch 😂 But it's a small pinch to the clutch , doesn't need much 😌

The honda 1200 crosstourer seems like it would have the safe bet in this type of bike. But ,they quit making them (or so I hear). I have never seen one here in USA. It’s what I would buy if I took a risk on a big adventure bike. I have to play the safe route and ride a Honda st1300 or an xr650. Too scared of the exotic custom race bike stuff and all of the issues. But, I admit, my friends 1290 is a blast to ride.

Ta for the video. Obviously you are a good rider, it is just a pity you picked a segment and bikes that are the opposite of your height.

@ianross225 2 роки тому
I agonised over this bike vs my 2014 GSA. I’m the same height as you so would have the same issues of touching my feet down (or not). That turn switch is horrible. I tried one at a bike show in the UK and it’s dreadful. How did it happen? In the end I want for the ATAS DCT ES because I need the lower seat, skinnier bike, decent range (in the UK we allow morons to prevent fuel supplies in the name of “saving the planet” not because I’m a transcontinental adventure biker) and that DCT is perfect for me. Oh, and I’m (at least) twice your age so have less need for 160 bhp. That said, I will try a 1290 just in case if find I do. Have fun on your new bike and ride safe(ish).

Is it because KTM quote 118 KW for 1290R but on actually only put out around 96 KW .. KTM never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Eat an extra stuutje in de morning to lift it. Buy an iPhone mini to solve the tiny storage thing. Don't attack the turn button that much, it's 450€.

I’m in love with mine hehehehe I don’t like the topcase , give it back :))))
@LifeofSmokey 2 роки тому
I don't like it also 😅. Can take it off in 5seconds. Got a brand new carbon fiber helmet. If i go swimming in a lake or something i wanna lock it inside my topcase 🙈. When i go offroading for a day i'm not planning on using it. It's only for travels 😁
@lucasantos1231 2 роки тому
Is it that quick to take it off ?? I miss storage too :( I got a ktm bag , very nice but very small
@LifeofSmokey 2 роки тому
@@lucasantos1231 yeah just another lock to unlock it and take it off 😁. Will time it next week haha

How tall are you?
@LifeofSmokey 2 роки тому
176cm but i guess it depends on how long your legs are. I can't even have both my feet on the ground on my 350 Husqvarna enduro 😅

Mount the bike by standing on the foot peg. Simples.
