KTM 790 - accessoire sabot Black Dog

Un prototype de sabot en cours de réalisation.

Il semble que les points d'ancrages sont un peu plus étudiés que ceux de KTM. A vérifier / confirmer

Quelques infos du fabricant:

We are trying to balance airflow and preventing debris from penetrating the skid plate. We want to keep the area behind the front wheel fairly solid so that debris kicked up from the front tire doesn't clog things up. I think the holes we have will provide plenty of airflow but further testing will confirm. As we said in our post this is a first prototype.

We have created a stout rear mount that ties the two sides together that provides a lot of strength to the footpegs mounts and should reduce the chance of cracking the motor. We are guessing most of our customers won't be interested in a center stand. Our priority is keeping the bike light and nimble.

We are definitely NOT using the case as a mounting point. Not sure who thought that was a good idea....

KTM 790 - faiblesse de la 790

Vu dans un reportage sur Acidmoto

Lors de l'Hard Défi tour, un concurrent avec une 790 a fait une chute.



Le problème est que cette chute a entraîné un problème qui selon moi vient de la conception de la machine.

Le base de la machine n'est déjà pas protégé par un cadre mais en plus les réservoirs sont exposés

"C’est à ce moment-là, alors qu’on roule sur un chemin d’herbe mouillée, que Miguel se prendre une belle gamelle juste devant moi, à près de 50 km/h ! Ouch !!! Sa moto glisse et tape sur le côté gauche puis effectue une rotation avant de s’immobiliser.
Heureusement il n’a rien, mais après avoir repris ses esprits et relevé la moto, elle ne veut plus partir… En voyant l’essence couler sous la moto quand il presse sur le bouton du démarreur, on découvre que la protection en plastique du réservoir a tapé sur le raccord d’essence de la pompe sous l’impact de la chute. Le choc l’a sectionné net, sans faire aucun autre dégât. Le verdict est sans équivoque : le Hard Défi Tour est terminé pour Miguel."



Le même jour, je vois 2 témoignages sur le sabot. Fissuré, impacté et enfoncé.

De toute évidence, la conception de la partie basse - la protection - a été bâclée. Il manque une protection digne de ce nom: cadre sous le moteur, sabot reposant sous celui-ci et protection plus solide du bas de réservoir et surtout de la sortie d'essence.

Moralité, la solution Outback me semble le choix le plus évident. Je n'étais pas convaincu par les barres de protection mais là oui

KTM 790 - Pichler 2ème partie

Suite de la première partie

https://ktmadv.blogspot.com/2019/07/ktm-790-joe-pichler.html

 https://blog.ktm.com/mr-adventure-part-2/

The right KTM ADVENTURE

Joe has ridden big miles on every single KTM to wear an ADVENTURE badge, beginning with the original KTM 640 ADVENTURE. Progression and development make every new version the enemy of the previous version, according to Joe. But after 19,000 km of varied roads and terrains on the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R, Joe has got to know the machine very well.

“What I like the most is the weight,” the Austrian says. “It really is low. I think when it is fully fueled it weighs the same as a 1090 or 1190 ADVENTURE when they are empty! And of course, it holds it fuel low down in the bike, which makes it feel even lighter. And that’s a huge advantage when it comes to hard riding conditions. Every kilogram is important.

The character of the engine – not just the power but a thirst rate of 4-5 liters every 100 kms – aligned with the versatility of the electronics with the different ride modes is also a big plus factor for Joe when it comes to the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R.

“For example, when riding in sand, you take the traction control down or off. You can change the engine character; when things are getting really difficult on a rocky road with a passenger, it is a really good idea to go to Offroad mode and be smoother and easier to handle. Then when out in the open area, it is much more fun to switch to Street mode. These are nice things that makes you more comfortable on the bike.”

The wrong time
It would be unfair to call Joe lazy, but he places a lot of trust in his machines and leaves the maintaining to the essentials. Well, not even that. He overshot the recommended first service for the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R by a good few thousand kilometers and doesn’t even lube the chain.

“Usually I don’t see a lot of KTM dealers in these remote places! One time I only changed the oil after 23,000 kms! But in Morocco, the KTM mechanics changed the oil and chain at 19,000 kms. Also they added some fresh tires.”

The right stuff
“Ever since my second trip, I’ve never carried spare tires. With a puncture you can fix it and I’ve never had a tire so destroyed that I could not carry on. Tires are also very heavy, and you can get them nearly every place in the world. Especially If you use narrow rims (Joe uses the narrow KTM PowerParts wheels on his KTM 790 ADVENTURE R), you can always get something. Failing that, you can get tires sent to somewhere – carrying tires is useless.”

As well as tubes, Joe carries spare clutch and brake levers and a fuel pump, due to the varying quality of fuel on his travels. A second clutch cable is also fastened in position ready should the first one snap, another reason he prefers cable over a hydraulic system. He always carries a spare couple of chain links but has never had to repair a chain.

“You never get stuck with a broken chain as you can fix it,” Joe quips. “But with a broken shaft drive it will definitely stop the adventure. And I’ve seen some broken shaft drives at the side of the road. Honestly, I don’t carry chain lube so usually do nothing for it in 20,000 kms. I don’t oil it – on this trip the sand would have destroyed it. For a short trip is better to maintain with oil, but you can imagine how much lube I would need!”

Joe loves the huge variety included with a standard KTM tool box and only adds a few extra items to that kit, as well as tire levers and a small compressor to make a tube swap easier.

“I carry everything I need to do some small maintenance with. If you have a real problem like needing to open the engine or something crazy like that, you wouldn’t do it by yourself in the middle of nowhere! But an important thing is to take spares of all the torx screws on the bike – even the really big ones. If you’re somewhere in Africa, they don’t really use these. So, I make sure I have spares and the sockets to fit all of these.”

The right kit
When it comes to riding kit, Joe prefers the versatility of the KTM RALLY JACKET & PANTS and the freedom feeling and lightweight of the KTM AVIATOR 2.2 offroad helmet. His choice of footwear also wouldn’t look out of place on the MXGP start gate with the KTM TECH 10 BOOTS.

“I’ve met a lot of adventure riders and many are equipped with normal boots and not offroad ones,” Joe questions. “They always give the reason that they are not riding fast, but good boots really protect you. And we know you can crash when not riding fast.”

Aside from his riding kit, Joe tries to travel as light as possible due to the extra effort required with more weight on the bike and the effect on the suspension. His latest Africa trip included a luggage list of:
Five pairs of underwear
2 pairs of socks
One pair of trousers
One pair of shorts
Two T-shirts
One sweater
Toothbrush
Shampoo
Camera
Laptop
Drone
Tent
Sleeping bag with mattress

Usually there’s a stove, but there wasn’t the need on this trip. Joe explains: “In West Africa people are always cooking! And anywhere there are people, the people need to eat. So, you can always get food.”

This logic makes sense to us!

The right technology
There are some big mile adventurers that say you need a bike with as little technology on as possible, even without water cooling. As Joe explained how much he enjoys the different ride modes and electronics on the KTM 790 ADVENTURE, we asked him if he fears being so reliant on these rider aids or worries about too much tech.

“They don’t scare me!” Joe jokes. “I’ve had three bikes with air cooling and being in the sand is not a lot of fun when they are getting so hot! Water cooling is no problem. When I was young, I once said I would never ever buy a bike without an electric starter because if I was so old that I can’t kickstart it anymore, I won’t ride anymore! Then in the late eighties and early nineties the adventure bikes began to get electric starters and now of course you can’t buy one without it now.”
“But out on the road, if people have problems they are usually mechanical ones. If you have no traction control, Quickshifter or ABS because of a failure, you can still ride. That’s the important thing.”

Could you be like Joe? He followed his hobby and passion. Quit his job as an engineer and has been a full-time adventurer for many years. But don’t think he and his wife Renate aren’t hard workers – when not riding they are organizing tours across Germany, Austria and Switzerland where Joe entertains the audience with his original brand of talks.

KTM 790 - accessoire sabot Touratech

Autre solution développée par Touratech. Un renfort de sabot

Plus léger que les autres solutions. Esthétiquement intéressant. Reste toujours le problème du sabot qui repose sur le moteur.

https://touratech-usa.com/store/OEM-Skid-Plate-Reinforcement-Kit-KTM-790-Adventure-R

The stock skid plate on the KTM 790 Adventure and Adventure R has great coverage,but is made with thin metal that was never really meant to take a hard hit.  Especially when bottoming out on large rocks, or crossing logs, the stock skid plate leaves your KTM 790's motor vulnerable.  This reinforcement kit from Touratech adds a secondary layer of 4mm thick stainless steel, rubber dampers, and stronger mounts that protect the bottom side of your engine from damage, without having to purchase another skid plate.

KTM 790 - installation alarme

Il existe un moyen d'épargner un peu d'argent au niveau de l'alarme.

Un message intéressant de Tim sur le forum anglais

https://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/441083-2018-KTM-790-Adventure?p=5426809#post5426809

As standard, the 790 Adventure is fitted with a Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser. There's been several posts on the Internet about fitting an alarm system but they all fail (in my opinion) to show just how easy this is. Normally, fitting a Thatcham approved Category 1 alarm is a job for professionals and your insurance company will want to see a certificate to demonstrate it has been properly installed. But KTM has already done this work for you in the standard wiring on every 790 Adventure. So fitting an alarm takes just 30 seconds.

The alarm KTM sells is the Meta DefComT Category 2 to 1 upgrade. You can buy this from KTM for £280 or you can buy the exact same item off the Internet for £82 including delivery, see https://www.southerncarsecurity.co.u...&product_id=88





Here's the contents of the kit. The alarm is the rectangular black box, the cables leading into it are what are normally wired into the bike. But don't panic. All you need from this pile of stuff is the rectangular alarm and the two blue remote controls next to the red key card. The rest can go in the bin.



Here's the contents of the fitting kit which is £42 from KTM. You don't have to buy this but it provides a secure mounting method. The piece of paper says fitting instructions are on the KTM web site. They are lying.



Here's the bike before the alarm was fitted. I'd isolated the likely looking white connectors in case I needed them. You can see the alarm electrical connector peering out from beneath the metal work. If you now connect that connector to the alarm box, you will have installed the alarm in less than 30 seconds. It's that simple. The remote controls will now work and you can get on the bike and start your round-the-world ride.

But the alarm box will rattle around so of course we all want to faff about and make things tidy.



First thing was to fit the two rectangular sensors under the seat so the alarm would sound if someone tried to intefere with it by removing the seat. The holes for the four screws are predrilled, all you do is tighten the screws. The sensor towards the top of the photo has a cable that plugs into one of the two white sockets I identified earlier.



Then you mount the alarm box onto the support bracket using the sticky pads provided and secure it in place with cable ties, connect up the wiring harness, and put in the three screws to hold the bracket in place.

And that's that.

You can program the alarm to automatically set after 50 seconds. And if you want to have both left and right indicators flashing to warn of a hazard (not normally possible with the 790), you just press the remote control twice, once more to switch off.

KTM 790 - How to - accéder aux AC1 et ACC2 à l'avant

Comment accèder aux branchement ACC1 et ACC2 à l'avant?

A l'arrière ceci ne pose aucun problème.

A l'avant il existe une trappe sous le phare, il suffit d'enlever le garde-boue pour la R et on y est.

Saut que les connecteurs sont coincés en haut des différents fils.

Une solution est d'enlever le phare. Long, difficile et voir même fragile.

Une autre solution proposée par un utilisateur de AdvRider - aage



To remove the headlight assembly without splitting it in the middle its enough to remove these screws here.

Then you slide the healight unit forward and unplug the big electric plugs there, then you can totally remove it and you have access to all the wires in there. I moved the acc and acc2 wires down , there is a wire assess door under the headlight assembly but the acc and acc2 wires are at the top of the wire bundle. To get easy access to the wires I moved it down under the wire bundle.
