    801 320mm brake discs

    6.7% is the difference between breaking on time ore not, hehehe. I am not skilled neither but I guess the Brembo M4 will be more rigid therefore loosing less power and you will probably feel it in the initial bite. I guess they will also handle better the heating when breaking hard. For me the...

    Issues fixed under warranty

    I thought about that. I even thought it was a sign to put a WP Ápex pro, but all options they were giving me were taking 2-3 days to arrive. I had a maximum of 4 days to go back to Spain and that would habe meant to come back by highways that is something I would not have enjoyed. I even...

    Issues fixed under warranty

    I don't think it is much better. Last time I had the bike there to fix a front sprocket oil leak I had to remove 350ml of oil when I arrived home because they refill it exceeding the maximum. I am questioning changing the bike. In almost 30 years of riding this was the first bike that didn't...

    Issues fixed under warranty

    Let's add a new issue to the list. It hasn't been still fix but I am confident it will be covered by warranty after talking to a couple of dealers. I was doing a trip through the Alps and Dolomites. After 3000km in 7 days on twisty roads (avoiding highway at all costs) and with 2000 more left...

    I had a coolant leak in my KTM 890 during the first 10k km. I changed the thermostat cover by the niceCNC that Tom is suggesting together with Samco hoses and it was solved. No other coolant leaks and I sold the bike with 46k.km

    Issues fixed under warranty

    You can get it adjusted at the dealer, it is an easy fix. Mine works smoothly, much more than in my previous KTM .

    Headlight issue on brand new 801

    At least in my KTM the DRL intensity decreased when the low beam was on... I don't know I'm the 801

    Headlight issue on brand new 801

    Does the intensity of the ring change? What I would try is to block the sensor with your hand and check if the low beam starts or if the intensity of the ring light decreases. If that happens the DRL sensor is working and it is maybe a problem with the low beam led light.

    Headlight issue on brand new 801

    It may be the DRL system. If there is enough light only the ring will turn on. When there is less light the low beam turns on. Try to check if in a dark space or at night it works. It should be automatic.

    I believe our fuel tank has a Max of 12.5 litres usable. I run out of fuel once (only bike It has happened in 25 years) and I could add only 12 litres.

    What happens at the 1,000km mark?

    The price of Motorex IS like liquid gold, hehehe. Of course labour is different between countries, parts should be same or similar price.

    What happens at the 1,000km mark?

    You can also think it as an insurance. 180 euros for one year of warranty seems like a bargain (that's how I think it to make it hurt less hehehe)

    Exhaust

    I have the stock one and, depending on how I place me right foot it also hits the exhaust (the plastic protector), and I do not have large feet (43 EU - approximately 27cm)
