May 17, 2010. Oddometer: 11,404. Location: Star Tannery, VA. Given that I don't see a dedicated thread yet for suspension mods & tuning on the 790 Adventure R I thought I'd start one ! I'm sure as time goes on folks will be doing plenty of experimenting. After some discussion with my dealer about the forks and what could be done to make the
That’s a lot of primo componentry for a budget-oriented adventure bike, but the one important area where KTM may have skimped a little is in wheel choice. Whereas its big brothers come with 21” front and 18” rear wire-spoke wheels, the 390 Adventure sports 19”/17” cast aluminum hoops. Also, the suspension travel is much lower than

New bikes have edged up in price, but KTM’s middleweight adventurer, now with 105hp, is competitively priced at £10,999, or £11,999 for the R model with higher specification WP suspension. Arguably its closest competition comes from BMW’s 850 GS Adventure and Triumph’s Tiger 900, both of which are more expensive than the KTM. Example: 12″ travel x .33%=4″ sag. Linkless KTM models have 13.2″ of travel and the sag should be 105-110mm. Measuring Free Sag Using the same measurement points as used for the rider sag, measure the rear suspension sag with no rider aboard. Lift and press on the suspension several times to establish a consistent resting point. The R takes the 1090 Adventure with its well-ploughed furrow of steel trellis frame and V-75 LC8 twin engine and adds more power, stronger spoked wheels, a narrower and bigger 21-inch front tyre, crash bars and 220mm suspension travel – it’s a list which points immediately as much to dirt trails as it does to adventure travel.
