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.

Seattle I've been thinking about buying a used 1190 but have been a bit hesitant for a couple of reasons. Am I getting the wrong impression looking at all of the issues in the forums online? I have read about the air filter issues and resulting engines that needed a rebuild in the early model years.
My T7 vs my sons KTM SuperDuke 1290r reliability. Both less than a year old. My T7 zero problems, the 1290r has a head leaking oil. Going in for warranty work tomorrow. Hopefully you are on road when it fails, (close to a tow) It’s practically impossible to push a big adventure bike very far off road. I told him to stay away from KTM.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.Apr 9, 2014. Oddometer: 96. I have the same issue with my 1190 - red coolant in the system and I have purchased The recommended M5 which is blue. I spoke to KTM UK who said the red coolant is Motorex M3, and the M5 is OK to use with the M3. I also spoke to a couple of dealers who said the same. CCJBF.
