KTM 790 890 ADV Norden 901 Wheel Removal/Install | Back in the Garage
In this episode of Back in the Garage, I remove and install the wheels on my 2021 KTM 890 ADV R. (While you should always check your owner's/repair manual I believe the process to be the same on your KTM 790 ADV bikes and the Husqvarna Norden 901. This video should save you some money if you're taking off your wheels for tire changes at the dealership/mechanic, you're doing the tire changes on your own or for any other reason you made need to remove/install your wheels.

Many thanks for posting this video. Now I know how to proceed regarding removal and installation of both wheels. - Great !😀
Hey Mario Thanks for all your videos! I really appreciate watching them as I have the same exact bikes ( KTM 2016 SA and 2020 790R). I have done most of modifications/maintenance based on your videos. You explain the process very well and it's fun watching you struggle a bit sometimes. I like the fact you give extra pointers as you go along. Keep up the good work! We all appreciate your videos and the passion for these motorcycles. 🙏

Thanks! Glad you find them helpful.
Thank you… this video made me realize what I was doing wrong. Appreciate the help!!
Awesome!!! I need to add a pair of KTM orange CROCS to my KTM toolbox!!!
Thank you. I watched the first half of this video and with that info was able to remove the rear tire in less time than it took to watch.
Just did my first tire change today, your video helped me a lot!! 💪
Thanks for the no BS Videos, right to the point. Nice Mountain Bike
Thanks so much man. Your video helped me a lot. Did all the job myself. Appreciate you!
Great video, (again) I have just swapped my 1190 for an 890R so keeping with the channel. Good work, and thanks for the easy to understand videos.
Thanks mate your my hero. Iam from the Netherlands. I want to thank you for your videos. First you helped my alot with my 1190 changing tyres and helping my out with my chain slack and many more things. Now I changed my 1190 for a 790 adventure and your making video's again. Very nice man thankyou very much! Greets,

No need to remove the calipers. Just rotate them outwards as you remove the wheel :)

I prefer to remove them as it makes it easier to reinstall the wheel.

I used a bottle jack at the front of the bash plate with a 1" board to spread the load. Bike on center stand also. The bottle jack can be easily adjusted to just barely get the front wheel off the ground, rotating the calipers out of the way (5-20degrees) makes it very easy for one old guy to get the wheel back into the awaiting brake pads. Piece of cake, no need to remove calipers.

@@davidrsmith2417 I prefer to push the pads back, before removing the wheel, with my knee. Taking a minute to remove one caliper makes the job less fiddly.
Thanks for the helpful video
I was racking my brain why my chain was completely stretched out watching your video on how to replace the rear wheel. The spacer/axle block is on backwards in your video.
GOOD JOB THANKS ...👍
Great video. Thank you. Although I have been changing wheels on my motorcycles for close to 30 years, it is a first on my 2023 ADV. Great point on the ABS sensor. Just one comment, I believe you need to tighten the main axle before you tighten the pinch bolts. Thanks again

U have to tighten the opposite side pinch bolts in order to tighten the main axle; otherwise it’s just gonna spin.

I just ordered a 1.85-21/2.5-18 set of wheels with some motoz i/t tires expecting to use the oem wheels for highway use & the new wheels for offroading. I can't tell if that's going to be a huge pain in the a$$ or not 😅🤣
Having worked on my 950A for over 14 years, I cannot fault your work. Great job. It's a shame KTM didn't provide little ledges on the inside of the swinging arm to support the wheel bushes while the axel is installed - it would make rear wheel installation a lot easier.

The '23 890 Adventure's swing arm has extra bolt lugs for that option.

Can you make a video were you change the chain and sprockets? Iam very interesting in that

Watch the one on the 1290, it’s essentially the same process. I only make maintenance videos on these bikes when I they actually need the maintenance. Considering I typically get 20k+ plus miles out the the 1290 drive kit, it’s gonna be awhile on the 890.

Got any tips on rear wheel alignment (for someone who doesn’t want to wrap string around their tire but also wants both wheels to track properly lol)? Also, do you generally try to keep the axle as far back as possible?
@2WR

One of these amzn.to/3Po8kWX from Motion Pro works great. I keep a couple of them in the garage. As for the axle, I run the factory spec on chain length and it just gets set to where-ever the chain tension is correct. On my dirt bike(s) sometimes we change the axle position/wheel base depending on track/race but the ADV bikes everything is just normal spec.

No fork alignment required? Did you put grease on the threads of the front axle bolt/nut?
@2WR

If you tighten the axle down properly the forks have no choice but to align. And yes, as I stated in the video, grease on the axle bolt/nut.

Properly? My Owner's Manual for my '23 KTM 890 Adv, in Section 15.2 states for the mechanic to first put the axle in place. {If alignment is good you don't need to hammer.) Once the axle is flush with the fork stub on the right side, screw in the 32mm hex bolt. I personally don't grease the threads, but I use a little Loctite 243 (oil resistant) on the threads - a little! Torque this big hex bolt to 45Nm (33.2 ft-lb). Then add the four (4) clamp axle stub bolts (with a bit of 243) and barely hand tighten. With bike back off the jacks, back on its tires, put it on its side stand. Loosen each of the clamp (fork stub) screws until they are barely loose - the forks need to slide a bit on the lightly greased axle in the next step. Get on the bike, exercise F / R brakes lightly to seat brake pads to the discs. Release the brakes, roll the bike a few inches forward and nail the Front brake as you press down on the bars. Get the bike rocking a bit. The forks should dive a bit, then you lift up on the bars and repeat again and again. The forks will be in compression, then tension and the fork tube stubs will be subtly moving left-right on the axle as they self-align themselves (aka "get happy"). Then carefully dismount the bike and tighten each fork clamp screws in several stages to gradually add clamp force. Fully torque to 15Nm (11.1 ft-lbs). That is the proper way to tighten down the forks to the front axle after a simple tire removal. Motion Pro has a nifty fork alignment tool and a procedure that includes the triple tree mounts - if you are a true perfectionist about fork alignment!.

Dunlop TrailMax Mission (it was a take off from my 990)
So I bought a vortex rear stand and it worked really well. But the front stand sucks ass did not work at all very disappointing. Went to return it and they gave me a whole bunch of shit which really pisses me off. So here you go do not buy Vortex ever. Pitbull is the way to go.
Ktm says 250nM for torque spec. Where did you get your information from? 250 seems like a lot.
@2WR

1) No idea where you found 250NM for anything I gave the spec for on this job 2) not sure which torque spec you’re taking about (front axle, rear axle, brake calipers, etc 3) The factory service manual and it’s the same spec for all the 790/1090/1190/1290 etc
