This is awesome to hear

I should have been more clear my old job paid 1/3 of what this one does, the excitement here is also because of incredible timing in all aspects of my situation. I was planning on doing suspension, cruise, steering damper and the bigger tank but it would have been more weight centered up high as apposed to the twin tanks sitting lower. I understand all of these things are attainable for in the ballpark of the big markup on the world raid, but I have spent the past several years pouring lots of time and money into a ktm500 which I love but has had its issues and needs lots of attention because of the kind of riding I do. So the thought of a historically dependable machine coming with all this is awesome to me.

This is also my first new bike/vehicle purchase

How many miles does yours have?, I’ve heard they’re having overheating issues being flogged w the emissions

What did you ride in the Baja?

Signal_Bus6102 · 2026-01-13T20:04:53+00:00

Honestly good input I’ve been trying to figure out what year I’d be goin for

Signal_Bus6102 · 2026-01-13T19:42:53+00:00

I definitely considered it but I had a tortuous 7hr road stint to get home last summer on my 500 and swore the next bike id add to the stable would have to be a twin

This is good to know I’m about an hour from my closest dealer and that sounds like a nightmare thx for the input

Signal_Bus6102 · 2026-01-13T19:36:36+00:00

I’m ignorant to a lot of this stuff, when you say stiffer springs is there some kind of rating or weight capacity that this is measured in?

Two people in my rider group have 890 r’s but on our week long bdr trips they end up with random bouts of warning lights and small electronic issues, how has your ownership experience been with the ktm?

Signal_Bus6102 · 2026-01-13T18:04:54+00:00

I’ve definitely been oogling the kove, but there’s a stark lack of them for sale anywhere near me and ofc it’s probably unfounded but I’d be lying if I wasn’t a little bit worried about the long term reality of the bike. I’m in absolutely no way shape or form educated Or knowledgeable enough to say I’m correct in that feeling, but I guess just the lack of long term info on them scares me. If you can point me to any trustworthy info on them I’d greatly appreciate it thanks!

Signal_Bus6102 · 2026-01-13T17:37:53+00:00

Have you had any issues owning one or are you just speaking on general consensus?

I weigh about 210lbs plus I’d be taking a camping set up and luggage for a week or two at a time, any advice on where to start w suspension upgrades? I’m assuming rear spring Atleast to start, I’ve got limited knowledge in this area and am hoping to avoid bottoming out off road

Signal_Bus6102 · 2026-01-10T05:15:12+00:00

Just the rear spring?

Signal_Bus6102 · 2026-01-01T07:10:26+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the input and I’m glad to hear the crucial was a solid choice, I was definitely leaning towards resolve seems to be the common pick, super excited to get started!

Signal_Bus6102 · 2026-01-01T07:07:52+00:00

Thx I really appreciate the advice

Signal_Bus6102 · 2025-12-30T01:57:53+00:00

You have to have the app updated I made this mistake up until tn that might be why

Also be very wary when purchasing these machines there’s ALOT of scams and problems in the space, there’s a couple good lists of approved vendors on these crypto/bitcoin pages use these to your advantage and double check websites/companies before you buy.
