  • Poltern / Klacken in der Gabel

    I sent him a letter asking about the "click" which makes the fork when you slow motorcycle.



    The documentation sent her to me KTM Austria.


    But with 2 people not "click"


    And Offroad not "click".


    As I can to attach a PDF in a forum?

    FAQ KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE Chassis May 2015
    ... regarding occasional fork clicking sounds
    The cutting-edge fork damping control valve is designed for producing very high damping forces and therefore an optimal and safe chassis response (in particular when riding very fast). The SAF-e chassis therefore helps achieve the best possible level of stability and function of the suspension elements at all times. However, when riding slowly on an uneven surface, e.g. cobblestones, the rider may notice the sound of the regulation by the damping control valve. This will sound like a clicking coming from the fork and may be mistaken for a loose steering head bearing.
    This is not a technical defect and the handling characteristics of the motorcycle are not impacted; this characteristic is definitely not a safety-related issue in any situation.
    ... regarding fork judders/vibrations at the front end
    Our examinations have shown that some vehicles have vibrations/judders coming from the front end of the motorcycle. This phenomenon, which may also occur while the vehicle is standing (with compression), does not represent an impairment to stability and rider safety in any way and may be more or less pronounced depending on the damping mode. KTM has investigated the problem, defined a solution and communicated this to the dealerships. Every KTM dealer is now able to eliminate the vibrations with very little expense. This characteristic is also definitely not a safety-related issue.
    ... regarding the poor response of the front wheel fork
    If an individual case of an unsatisfactory handling characteristic is determined with a production vehicle, then KTM deals immediately with the assessment of these individual cases in an internal quality forum.
    In the case of the 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE, negative feedback has occasionally been received regarding the damping behavior of the fork (imprecise front wheel control, lack of precision, barely if any response to brief impacts such as edges/manhole covers). We are currently looking at this in order to clarify the cause of the variation in quality - and, if necessary, to introduce measures to remedy this immediately.
    It is absolutely beyond dispute that the front wheel control functions safely and in the best possible manner, also in the case of the 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE. The subject of "suspension elements” is among the main KTM core competencies, not least due to the in-house development with WP suspension. Front-end developments such as the innovative SAF-e chassis emphasize the priority of development innovations. The highest quality standards in development and series production are guaranteed, and production releases of suspension elements are subject to a strict testing process in accordance with automotive standards.
    ... regarding wobbling at high speeds with a full payload
    The entire KTM ADVENTURE range is based on a sport motorcycle concept with great dynamic potential and a performance that is unique in this class. The riding performance is correspondingly impressive and is more comparable to that of genuine power bikes, naked bikes and super bikes. In order to ensure continual safe handling when riding with luggage systems, KTM stipulates a reduced maximum speed (150 km/h). If the vehicle exhibits critical stability behavior within this speed range, then the cause must be looked for in other areas (tires, steering head bearing etc.). Every official KTM dealer is trained in such cases to identify the cause and to solve the problem.
    ... regarding the functioning of the semi-active chassis
    The innovative WP semi-active chassis measures and regulates the damping behavior in real time and is therefore able to react to a wide variety of conditions with specific strategies. For instance, the “anti-dive function” prevents the front from diving in heavy braking maneuvers - a real gain in terms of comfort and safety particularly when two people are riding. The rider can call on four different modes in order to specifically adapt the damping to his or her individual requirements in terms of comfort, street, sport and offroad.

  • KTM 1290 Super Adv Handlebar vibration at high speed

    217 km / h with 2 people perfect . Only one person not can lead more than 186 km / h. Handlebar uncontrollable. Sport damping. One passenger rear preload.
    No luggage and no top case



    Some friends in Spain have put wheels Adv 1050 and is perfect. Vibrates not handle high speeds.
    The problem is the original tires 1190 and 1290
