Regresé a tu video… y lo vi varias veces. Sin duda el mejor video de KZread explicando los modos de conducción y demás información y configuración del tablero de la KTM 790 Adv 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Gracias y saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

I’m sure all this is in the manual, but it’s so much better having somebody who uses the features talk you through them. Thank you!

KTM needs to send you a big fat check for this instructional video.... Great job!!

Nice Only small issue with Ride Mode and ABS on the up and down buttons is if you select Rally ride mode, the buttons then become your rear wheel slip control, and you have to manually exit Rally first to get them back. But for hopping quickly between street and offroad modes, its a good thing.

😊 thanks! Picking up an 890r this week! Can’t wait… appreciate the walkthrough 👌

I have had my 790R for over a year now and I still learnt a lot from your video - Thank You!!!

Thank You Ian!!! I just picked up my new 2021 890 ADV R, I chose this bike largely due to your in depth videos. I went for a short shake down ride today and absolutely love the bike. Had to cut it short due to snow and ICE on the fire roads in the San Bernardino Mountains. This is my first adventure bike and had never looked into this type of bike before. I will be completing my initial bike setup straight away. Thank you for all of your hard work we all appreciate it.

Great electronics overview! I learned a few new things about my 790 and will definitely use the suggested Quickselector settings. I thought the rear ABS was shut off on Off-Road mode but now it makes sense why I felt ABS kick in while breaking the rear downhill. I just completed my first service and had the Quickshifter update installed and I highly recommend it.

Explaining the use of the quick selector was very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you! This came just in time, as I'm having my first off-road trip with my Adventure R next weekend and had a lot of questions about the ABS and ride settings.

Muy buenas explicaciones. Aunque ya conozco bastante de las funciones y configuración de la ADV, tu video confirmo mis conocimientos, y sumo varias sugerencias. Muchas gracias. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

I have had this bike for a year now and I am a pretty aggressive rider and don't want to rely on electronics (I was racing Supersport 600 cups in the 1990s). I mainly use Rally mode, also for street riding, with TC on 1, ABS Offroad (only basic front ABS). The great thing with Rally mode is it keeps all settings but it is weird that there is no TC 0 setting. You can turn TC off in Rally mode but then you can not use the curser buttons to bring it back up if you want to, which I do when it gets really wet or muddy.

Bernard, you answered the very question that brought me to this video, how do I ride with the least amount of electronic intervention? I just bought a lightly used 890 R with the the tech pack installed and I want little to do with it. I rely on throttle and how good my tires are for traction control. Thanks!

Well done. 👍

Very helpful. Thank you.

In either Trip 1 or Trip 2 setting, It would be handy to be able to temporarily freeze the mileage count. When navigating backroad trails via a Roll chart, this would eliminate having to recalculate everything if you take a detour off the main route.

Thank you very much!

That would be great to have a quick settings 3 that would be the left button when we are on the main page. As we do not need left button if we are not in a menu.

Very helpful thank you.....GPS routing tutorial with garmin would be helpful - zumo xt

I have a 2019 R once ABS is set to off-road and the bike is shut off by key and turned back on the ABS is still set to off-road. If ABS is turned off and the key is turned off once turned back on the ABS resets to road. Thank you for the great video!!

Mine is the same - a minor detail I should have pointed out. Thanks!

I have just realize that the 890 can not switch off the ABS only ON or OFF Road Mode. For me it's a pain in the ass not be able to preconfigure the Rally mode with the ABS in Off road mode it would be much better. Thanks for the video

You should do a more detail video on ktm my ride and show how to pair bluetooth with KTM radio controls

Actually your assessment is a little off, rain mode "softens" throttle response but also limits total power, several times I have accidentally left it in rain mode and it feels like a different bike altogether. I'm gonna guess a 20 % reduction in total power output, it really works! A lot of internet guru's poo poo the electronics package of the 790R but it could save your butt!

If you use Rally mode, and set ABS to ‘Off Road’ only rear ABS is off, as I prefer it, and it doesn’t reset to ‘Street mode ABS on’ after key cycle off/on like it does if you turn off ABS completely. When in Rally mode don’t turn off TC if you want to use TC levels 1-9, and if you turn off TC and cycle the key off/on it resets to TC on anyway. You could get in serious trouble with ABS in Street mode when riding off road. Also, I don’t know about you but I like the ability to change the TC on the fly while riding just using the Up and Down switches with my left thumb, so TC is on for me. Happy Riding :)

ABS. My 2021 KTM 890 Adventure has only 2 ABS modes. Either ON or OFF-ROAD. I am assuming the OFF-ROAD modes is only rear wheel ABS turned off. Based on recent 2023 KTM 890 Adventure / R launch video, looks like KTM doesn't see a need for full OFF mode ABS; front turned off as well. Great video. Great refresher once a years before the season starts. Thanks.

Useful table at 4:00

Something i'd like to add is that MTC in Rain mode is VERY sensitive, more sensitive than in street mode. Every more than average twist on the throttle induces this.

So the anti wheeling is on in road and rain ride mode and off in rallye and off-road mode ? Never tried a wheeling with mine. Guess it is easier in rallye mode as the throttle has more power :)

Great review. I have version V1.27 and cannot select “Ride Mode” or “Abs” under Quickselect 1 and 2. I was looking forward to setting those up as described.

Hi are the modes the same in the rally version and the 890>

You do not have to take it to the dealer to reset service.

On my 890 s does cruise control have to be turned on at the dash after the tech pack install like the quick shifter? Also, how do your know MSR is active. I'm getting the tech pack installed next week. After the tech installs it I want to take it for a test ride and check to see if it has the four options that I'm paying for. I had another KTM and added software and the tech forgot to switch on a couple options I had previously installed. I know about Rally mode because it's already installed. thank you!

Hello! Can’t find “Ride Mode” and “ABS” in QuickSelector 1&2. Which software version are you running?

Can you post the firmware version your TFT Dash is using? Some of us have not been able to choose from the entries you show for the QS1 and QS2 options. I'm guessing that we have older versions of the firmware than you.

I have one and it is quite significant, I am running a Puig touring screen which works quite well, a tad on the big side and thought it would annoy me on the gravel but was good. It does get hotter as not a lot of wind flow, if you were doing big hits or jumps a lot might be a bit tall if you are shorter. Note I am five eleven and ride more often than not sitting down on the gravel, I only really stand when things get hairy or I need extra braking downlhill

My quick select will not hold.. it resets every time

Nice! I didn't know about the ABS not being set by the modes until I needed so aggressively slow on a gravel road and couldn't. I also didn't know about the quick settings. I'm going to go do that now. edit: Ok, it didn't let me program the quick settings for mode or ABS. It wasn't an option. Any ideas? 303 miles? You need to go ride some more.

@@Vlerkies I may be wrong on this, but I think the R models come with the full suite. With the S models you have to pay to get them released. However, KTM usually updates the electrickery from year to year, so if you've got a 19 R you'll get the upgrades to 20 R specs, if you've got a 19 S you'll get the 20 S specs. Honestly, I don't know whether this applies, cos I have this nagging feeling that the 790 is a 20 model year. However, I reckon this is useful general information to know, and I don't know of ANY other manufacturer who does this.

@@davidcolin6519 Hi David, not sure on the 'S' models, I assumed the guys asking had 'R's' as per the video, but you are well correct that some things are not on the 'S' model default suite. Rally mode for instance is definitely not out the box on the 'S', but you can unlock it at a cost. Around here the dealers will upgrade your software to the latest version if you ask them to or at a scheduled service if a new version becomes available, but only to the same point you had on your bike before. This may add extra functionality, ease of use or a menu option perhaps, but not capability as such if you did not have it before, if that makes sense. For instance the electronic quick shifter gear shift is not unlocked by default on the 'R', its there but you need to pay to unlock it when you purchase the bike. No software upgrade will unlock it unless you pay the man. If the folks asking have 'R' models it would be interesting to see what version of the software they have, 1V29 is the current version/latest right now. I would have thought the quick 'selector' options would be std though across the board.

Like any modern bike they are all full of electronics, I don't think many manufacturers are well covered in Africa outside of the Japanese models. That said remote places find ways to help you out I have found. If you live in the states take one to the bottom of South America that will give it a good test and there is KTM most reasonable sized towns there. I had to get my BMW worked on in a few KTM shops on my trip through SA in particular. I think the 790 would be worth the gamble based on how good they are on rough roads and no roads, worst case stick it on a truck to the next major town :-)

Same thing here! I have a 2019 R model (of one of the first batches), can only select trip 1, trip 2, MTC/MSR, and general info for each of the quick selector buttons... What's more, if I opt for MTC/MSR, it configures trip 1, so actually only 3 choices... I do live in Europe, maybe there is some sort of regulation that prevents KTM from enabling all options, because when I turn the ignition key off and back on, it does not remember my ABS setting either (ABS always on) as explained in this video.

Very detailed, but just a bit of constructive feedback: it would have more impact if we actually saw less of you and your riding on the dirt and more of the button presses and screen displays, toggled a little slower in a shorter video. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
