KTM Adventure 1190

[motomuppet]

Thanks for the quick update motomuppet. Since you've dropped your bike, based on your experience, do you think an upper crashbar like the one below is necessary.

I think it depends. The stock crash bars did a great job protecting the bike on flat dirt (and it was a super slow...like almost standing still tip over), but if there had been rocks then the added protection of the bigger bars would help. If you plan on doing a lot of technical off road then yeah, go the full on roll cage approach. I figure I like my bike as light as possible and dont plan on doing hard core trails on the 1190 (I have a 250XC for that!) so the standard crash bars will hopefully suffice. I think the bash plate is a good idea though with the pipe exposed as it is.

 

On another note: I discovered that if you turn off traction control (in sport mode) and use a little clutch with a fistful of throttle at 90kmph the front wheel comes waaaaaaay off the ground...like if you are not careful it will flip you off the back...in third...at 90kmph

 

Awesome.

These are 2 very different bike in nature. One is a (large) Supermoto and the other is an all-rounder tourer. I guess price difference is not significant. You should be asking yourself what type of ride are you into: long distance, off-road, daily riding, etc.

 

On a different note, I never believe in the "right" or "wrong" bike to get. At the end of the day, it all boils down to your gut feel. Go and have a try on both bikes, and see which one "connects" to you more. Kinda like choosing a girlfriend.

Thanx for e feedback bro. For my case it's more to daily riding from home to workplace to n fro. Dirtwheel has their last piece SMT to let go. I guess no more production for this year onwards. But minus point is e lack of fuel gauge. Whereas e Adv 1190 orange colour caught my attention, but they are selling their demo grey bike too. Still thinking though..

I would prefer the 2014 1190 adv over the 990 SMT.

1. Updated engine. More power more torque.

2. Bigger fuel tank. More efficient longer range.

3. More touring accessories options.

4. Better resale value(imo).

But I like the SMT look better. YMMV

Hmm. I too think e SMT looks better. Now got 3 choices.

1) SMT

2) Adv 1190 grey demo bike

3) Adv 1190 2014 model new bikehttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/25/hesy2ysa.jpg

Hi Guys, I made the mistake (poisoned!) of test riding the 1190 at DW and have now put down a depost for a 2014 Adv R, which should arrive end December. $36k otr, with a few sexy bits thrown in. Have had several KTM's before, and have a 2011 250XC currently for trail duties. Have become a huge fan of KTM bikes over the years.

 

Just wondering if the stalling issue has been identified and sorted? I saw on advrider.com that some bikes had fuel venting issues which could have something to do with the stalling?

 

Hi, may i know if e price is 36k flat otr? N what r e few sexy bits being thrown in? Is it buy direct from DW better?

Loois might be cheaper. I bought it at AMS. 36k otr with free h&b top box. Machine is from DW. Both with and w/o r same price.

 

If buy direct from DW still can get 36k flat otr w free top box?

Hi starkyy, your above questions are pretty subjective and relative, so it's hard to provide a clean cut reply. I can't comment too much in terms of maintenance cost, as I'm just into my 4000KM on this bike. Perhaps other bro can advise. Regarding parts availability, it all depend on what parts are you talking about. DW do keep some common spare parts. You cannot expect parts to be easily accessible like Japanese bikes. Similarly, if you ask about repair, it also depend on what breaks down. If it's common bike issues like tyres, battery, fuses, brakes, etc, most workshops would be able to manage. However, any problem that are too complex, particularly electronics, you would have to go back to the official dealer (Dirt Wheel).

 

Fuel efficiency is superb for a 1200cc bike. I can achieve above 21KM/L on SG highway, probably around 17-18KM/L for city riding.

hi journey, u have answered most of my queries. in terms of maintenance, is the oil change interval short eg. 3000km or longer? and any aftermarket streetlegal exhaust?

Haven't research much on aftermarket exhaust, and is happy with this exhaust. Check out this thread http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=902006. You may get more info there. Streetlegal or not, you may wanna do your own Googling

 

For a new 1190, oil change interval is recommended at every 15,000km, except for the 1st 1000km (run-in phase). Some riders experience the need to top up once or twice in the first 10,000km. I'm into my 4000km and the oil level still pretty healthy.

Many ppl prefer to go DW cos they are the agent. And Ong is quite good and accommodating. Just need to talk to him and he might be able to give some perks. Of course as a the agent they will charge a premium and for PIs their prices must be lower to attract. So you have to decide.

 

Go to both DW and PI and ask... then compare yourself. I know Looi's has the ktm 1190 which is selling for different prices as DW.

S1 and M1 are actually same shop. And frankly.... If I can get my apple from the tree, why go all the way to the supermarket? Unless I have passion card lah... hahahaha....

 

I will go DW cos I know them... and I will pay a higher price for piece of mind.

 

Imptly is to Read the fine prints on the contract. Early penalties can be a killer. Some shops have different interpretation for OTR price too.
