The more dust you ride through, the sooner you should change the oil. Keeping the air filter clean is just as important to keep dust and debris out of the engine. Anything besides air and fuel going through the engine will cause it to wear down much quicker. 2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke Oil Change. 2 strokes and 4 strokes don’t use engine oil in the
It’s close enough to the scheduled oil change mileage (9,300 miles). I’m doing a little more than an oil change, but not much. Today is oil change day. The bike is on the stand ready to go. First things first. The skid plate is removed – 6 screws and one vent line – and cleaned.
KTM's definition of the lifetime of their two cylinder vehicles is 80,000 km (50,000 miles) or 8 years. It's one reason 15,000 km oil change intervals are considered acceptable by them. I expect my bikes to last a lot longer, despite riding harder than average*, so choose to change oil twice as often as recommended.

I told the dealer about it (I'm not sold on these guys skill set yet) and the claimed the front tire was over-inflated, which caused cupping, which caused shake. First of all, I've never touched the TP on the front tire, and regardless, that
The 790 community generally believes the clutch problems are due to a lack of lubrication and possibly because the oil filters are not picking up small amounts of debris that is then blocking the oil jet lubricating the clutch, however KTM REFUSES to engage with any of the owners who have had problems, making a resolution impossible to determine.

I think it looks good with a MX front fender like the 790 Adventure R but with the low fender here or on the base 790 Adventure it looks weird. You’re not alone. KTM was in the running for my first bike, but aside from the fact that it was way too tall, I also find them hideous. On paper the KTM 790 Adventure looks like my ideal next bike.
Have been thinking of a 790R over the 1290, which has its own heat issues. Took the dealership 790R out for two different long rides on hot days (in the high 90's) in stop and go traffic, wearing jeans with low top riding boots. Did not notice any undue heat, in fact was somewhat surprised at the lack of it.
The 790 Adventure boasts a nearly 2-inch lower seat height (32.7″), road-oriented tires, bigger windscreen and less suspension travel (7.9″/7.9″). We expect the 790 Adventure to be a more approachable, confidence-inspiring adventure machine that will still retain much of the off-road capability of the 790 Adventure R. While the KTM 790
