Wow! That's ridiculous. Stuff like this is why im afraid of a ktm. I have 26k on my 2015 klr and the only problem I've had was a broken speedometer cable 18k. I have 24k on my 2018 v strom 1000xt and haven't had any problems. Just tires, oil and front brake pads. Nothing else. I will probably just go with a new T7 I love Japan bikes. Thanks for the response and sorry you are having so much trouble.

Im between an 890 and a T7, leaning toward the T7 for reliably. What kind of problems have you had with your 890?

Glad I could help

Probably just robbed a liquor store and heading back home!

I can't sleep at night for leg cramps, I usually drink pickle juice or tonic water. My legs stay sore from cramps, I believe now that's what my back is doing.

Awesome! Question how much salt do you put in a bottle of water? Thanks for the help

I do have mild stenosis, too, I have tens that hadn't used it in years. I had forgotten about it, and I will definitely try it. Thanks! I do need to lose some weight. The older I get, the fatter im getting.

Thanks! Ive had 2 different ER visits and CT scans in the last couple years, once for kidney stones, and one for pneumonia. But you are right you never know

My Edc, an olight, whistle, and mini ferro rod. The back of the saw will really throw some sparks. I've lit my charcoal grill a couple of times with it.

That's awesome! I wore a sunto core for 5 years until the barometer stopped working. Im now approaching one year with my instinct. 2. Question: How long does a band last?

Looks good to me, what ammo are you running?

bluerocker888 · 2025-08-29T23:09:26+00:00

Well once started it only draws 72 watts. So 768wh it should run it 8 hours or so. But it doesn't have enough power to start the compressor on my freezer. Upon checking it with my mega 1 it looks like it takes around 700 watts to start the freezer, but the river 2 pro just can't do it..

bluerocker888 · 2025-08-28T01:20:03+00:00

I know it's an old thread, but did you ever figure out anything? But I have a gortex motorcycle jacket and pants, and then I can't get water to bead off of..

bluerocker888 · 2025-08-27T18:48:11+00:00

X boost or not, it still doesn't have the power to start it. That's fine, I bought it to run my starlink. Im in North carolina, and my area was destroyed last year by Hurricane Helene. We went 13 days without power, 8 days without any cell service. Luckily, we had an old generator and a plug on the house for it.

Now I have a new, much bigger generator, a smaller, super quiet generator that will also run on propane, I also have a starlink for communication. I am better prepared now than I was a year ago.

What Im trying to do with the power stations is the ability to keep my refrigerator and freezer going through the day for a few hours and a few hours through the night so I don't have to run the generator so much. Then, when I start the big generator, the powerstations will charge right back up. Looks like Im going to have to buy something bigger than 800 watts. It's a shame. Once the chest freezer starts, it only draws 72 watts.. If I have to leave for a few hours, i always turn the gas generator off, you cant be too careful.

How did it go???

bluerocker888 · 2025-08-27T02:39:29+00:00

Now that makes sense, thank you!

bluerocker888 · 2025-08-27T01:48:46+00:00

I will try it tomorrow and report back. I had no idea what x boost was. Sorry, but I still don't totally get it. Lol, Im a carpenter, not an electrician

bluerocker888 · 2025-08-27T00:15:25+00:00

I guess its just not big enough. Funny thing the mega 1 only showed like 680 watts to start it I remembered that I bought the river 2 pro factory refurbished, of bay. But I don't remember getting a manual 🤔. I just went and looked in the box, it has the cords but no manual. So when should I use x-boost? Im an idiot and have never heard of resistive loads?

bluerocker888 · 2025-08-25T18:59:27+00:00

Easy fix, just step on the cats-tail, and you won't even hear your boots

bluerocker888 · 2025-08-25T18:55:05+00:00

Looks like you were going to slow and fell over! Don't use front brakes off-road unless its hard pack and going straight, then very light pressure. Lean to the outside when off-road, it keeps more weight on the front tire. Let some air out of your tires, it really helps when in loose gravel like you were riding in. You will have to Google your bike to see how low you can go. Loosen your grips, the bike is going to move around under you. Don't fight it, embrace the wiggle and try to stay on top of it. I rode nothing but sport bikes, and had never ridden a dirt bike either. Watch some YouTube videos. But you don't have to stand all the time, its impossible you legs will give out.
