ktm 1190 adventure r reliability
Onmybikenz Adventurer. I’m about to pick up my 2023 790s this week and I’ve been reading lots threads about these bikes. Lots of comments about reliability and QC. Common issues with soft cam shafts, immobiliser and side stand switches. Despite this, the bikes keep selling.
3 days ago · What a bike! Then the 1090 and 1190. Well, they’ve all been replaced with KTM’s biggest ever machine – the 1290 Super Adventure R. This is a behemoth of a bike and takes on BMW’s mighty GS Adventure. And KTM aren’t messing about… the 1290 is a serious machine capable of anything you throw at it.The 1290 Super Adventure R snags the flagship spot in their off-road biased adventure line while the 1090 Adventure R is designed for riders looking for a bit more elemental experience. Unlike the shnazzy TFT dash on the new 1290 Super Adventure R, the 1090 retains the same unit found on the outgoing 1190. I don’t have one (yet) but everything I’ve read and watched says it’s an amazing machine with great reliability. I only have it’s little toddler brother, the 500 EXC-F, and it’s been an absolute blast so far! The Super Adventure is next for me.
