2-Inch Aluminium Handlebar Risers, Crash Guards For KTM 390 Adventure By SS Moto
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
To buy any of these products, send SS Motocorp owner Saurab Shirke a message on Instagram here: / ssmotocorp
Let's now begin:
The KTM 390 Adventure is a fantastic motorcycle to tour, commute and do trails on. But a little bit of extra touches can make it phenomenal. In this video, I tell you about the SS Motocorp accessories I have on my motorcycle that have made a huge difference in comfort and confidence when I hit the trails.
Okay, first things first: HANDLEBAR RISERS
While standing on the pegs and riding, I find the stock handlebars to be low. While some may find it adequate, I do not and immediately knew I needed risers.
I first tried one-inch handlebar risers, but again was left wanting for more.
Saurab Shirke from SS Moto is a KTM 390 Adventure rider himself and we both are about the same height. (5.10.5)
So, he built 2-inch handlebar risers from aluminium for the bike, since he too felt the same.
Standing up and riding has become so convenient now. I don't have to hunch as much as I had to earlier and can just focus on the trail ahead.
We did have to change the clutch cable of the bike to one from a Bajaj Avenger as the stock KTM 390 Adventure cable is not long enough to support 2-inch risers.
These risers are priced at Rs 1,500 (including 28% GST).
CRASH GUARDS
The crash guards made by SS Motocorp are unlike most others in the market. Instead of taking the factory guards off and replacing them with a giant cage, their guards are add-ons to the existing ones.
The idea here is to keep the weight as low as possible and to protect the tank in the eventuality of a fall.
The guards only weigh 1.4 kg or so each side, and are made out of mild steel. The clamp though is aluminium and sourced by Bajaj.
Fitting them on the bike was easy, but I can't tell you how effective they are, yet. I am sure it is a matter of time I kiss the ground on the trail and then we will have a first hand experience of how well these work.
The guards are priced at Rs. 4,900 (inclusive of 28% GST).
SS Motocorp also sells saddle stays for this bike (I have them on mine), but obviously they are not a trail accessory, rather a touring one. If you want to know about them in detail, let me know and I will make a dedicated video on it. (Cost: Rs 3,500 inclusive of 28% GST)
There are other exciting trail-friendly mods coming from SS Motocorp in the near future, including an aluminium sump guard and a foldable aluminium rear brake lever tip.
Do follow his Instagram channel and check out his website for more details: www.ssmoto.in/
I will bring you review of these products once they are ready for testing.
For now, thank you so much for watching this video. If you have any remarks, feedback, please do let me know in the comments section below.
As always, have a great day.
Cheers

What tyres are they? Can you mention it here?
did u get a response from KTM on the ECU failure? and how is the low speed ride after the sprocket change anything new observed? i might have missed these updates
can you fit a 390 adventure crash guard on to a 250 adventure? it's the same frame/chassis.
I am new to your videos, I saw your G310 vs 390ADV and 2 other videos, your deliver and crisp clear content are impressive! Keep it up! :) New to biking and thinking of getting 390ADV as a tourer and also get into off-roading a bit and your content helps! Wish me luck 😃🤞 Edit: a quick question, what's your view on HyperRider crash guard?

Thank you for the information. Does the Bajaj Avenger clutch cable work with the KTM 390 Adventure clutch sensor? Also, is it the cable for the 220 Cruise or 220 Street?

I am not sure. Best to go for the longer one.
For 1 inch riser which clutch cable you used?
Which bajaj bike spare is used for the crash guard clamps
Could you please show the crash guard effectiveness with a drop test- laying it on either sides to show the clearance will do . Whether handlebar is affected, exhaust touching ground etc can be made out with the drop test.
Long time, no see? Was waiting for your video 🙂

Excellent video! I have a question for you. I just purchased the 390 Adventure and I am 6'2" with long legs. I am considering buying the Rox risers which can be bought in 1", 2",3" and even 4" increments. You said for a 2" rise you had to buy a new clutch cable. Do you think I would have to buy any other cables if I went with a 3" or 4" rise or do you think there is enough cable slack in the other cables. Thank you so much for posting. It was very helpful and your explanations were clear and concise.

Hi Abhinav, Thanks for posting such an informative video. I wanted to check one thing - I am nearly the same height as you (179 cms), I ain't into off-roading, I have bought the KTM 390 Adventure purely for long distance touring and a bit of city commuting. I have graduated from a 2005 RE Bullet CI Engine Electra so it's a paradigm shift for me. I wanted to ask, do I need the handle risers to make touring more comfortable? I plan to cover 700-800 kms of distance in a day during my rides. And if yes, then should I go for 1-ich ones or 2-inches ones? Sorry for the lengthy comment, hope you don't mind. Look forward to your revert. Cheers.

Hey, bro. First try a 300-400 km ride. See if you feel the need for risers at all. If at all you do need them, I think one inch would be fine. But I doubt you'll need them.

Hi, I recently brought 390 adv and was looking for crash guard. The guard is really good but I’m little concerned about how much it’s gonna protect the tank because from the video I’m not sure it’s gonna protect the top part of the tank, when it falls down and tilt a little. May you please able to make a 3-4 mints video where you can lay down the bike to get a better picture. The only thing stopping me is this. Doing great job, Thank you.
