2021 KTM 890 Adventure / Adventure R / Adventure R Rally

You just need an AMPS adapter for that GPS now

Better add a neck brace first!

Finally broke the bike all the way in, beast has been unleashed! Still got some parts rolling in but loving every ride out on it, keeps feeling like it's getting better and better. SC low comfort seat is definitely firm out the gate, but already after 100m seems to be improving.

Both my Visa and I are getting tired of opening packages for a motorcycle that I don’t have yet!

Holy cow! What's the ETA?

It has been a moving target. I am told it will be done next week now but I haven’t been in a hurry as I am still riding the sled on the weekends.

I definitely think it suits it hah. Just got back from a weekend trip, did about 400m, seat was firm but overall fine. I did notice one of the seams got undone though, so gonna have to send it back to SC to get that fixed up.

Finally got it on some nice forest roads out here though, and holy cow, that suspension soaks all the hits up, but you definitely have to push for it hah, got some great weather coming up this week so super excited to take it out without 40lbs of luggage on it and see what it can really do

so guys a little heads up
after contacting twalcom about their mud guard to ask where i could buy it in the US ( http://twalcom.com/frame.php?key=L2...leS5waHAjL3Nob3AvcHJvZHVjdC5waHA/SUQ9MTM4NA== under 790/890 special parts)
they answered me and cc'd their distributer here mosites motorsports ( mositesmotorsports.com )
long story short 2 months later they got the package . its not on their site as the had a small waiting list and didn't want to have sell out before it was fulfilled.
part cost 81.99 shipped
you can email them to ask for it , I would hurry as these will probably sell out fast

Has anyone done the pp heated grips yet?
Here is what i finally received from the dealer.

for the 890? What was the part # for the complete kit?

yes

I guess that means no. I am not aware of anyone receiving them for the 890. Glad to see you got yours. Your the guinea pig.

i went back and found your post. Thanks!

I’m in the states if that matters. I told the dealer to order this pn 63712964088 and received those two boxes. That’s what I expected to receive. I’ll work on it tonight and report back.

It's possible to mount them at home? Or you need to activate them via software at the dealers?

On question one it should be checked when warm usually about 1 minute after the bike has been running. If you store your bike using a paddock stand you will find the oil level will fill the sight glass. So always check the oil when warm and about a minute after the engine has been shut off.

you can install at home, it’s already activated.

I haven't finished the job yet but its totally doable at home. I already have the heat mode unlocked. I'm not sure if the dealer did it when they did the tech pack or not.
The connecter for the new control box is plugged into a dummy near the bottom right of the fuse box. Pull the fuse box, install the new holder in place of the fuse box, heated grips connector connects at the bottom of the new control module and then fuse box sits on top. Just need to take seat and battery cover off. I had to move the ground wire for my battery a bit for a little more room to work. The grips are super easy to remove, just look for the small set screw on the left hand grip. It took me time to install the right grip but thats because it was late and my brain wasn't working and i couldn't figure out how the wires were to be ran exiting the throttle housing. It helps to visualize if you remove the throttle tube completely and then drop the top half of the throttle housing into place. You can easily see how the little plastic piece that holds the wires sits. Tonight i'll pull the headlight and finish wiring it all up (plugging it in).

Awesome ! Hopefully my dealer will receive mine soon. You didn't mention having to remove the gas tank? Hope not.....
