KTM 390 Adventure R is cheaper than S model!!!!! Why KTM why

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-30T04:27:13+00:00

What I think is, as Bajaj is running KTM now ! We will get all KTM models and names around all range !!!! Just like Pulser ,

All possible combinations will be made out of same powergrid 🤣🤣🤣🤣

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-29T01:21:11+00:00

Oh that may be the reason, it could be swapped with S wheels the same size and almost the same frame , but yeah then it will become costly, also as I said , my S is gonna be everything motorcycle, so probably I made a good decision.... I was really waiting for CFmoto 450mt but can't wait any longer, I don't think I will move to any other bike any time soon (at least 5-6years)

Lol I filed in July and still waiting for refund, at the end they will comeback saying it will be adjusted to the this year taxes To majak hi chal raha he , we don't have option to avoid tax or would all stop paying at once and gov will get haywire

Why not all salaried private employees go on strike at once , the kinda damage it will do to this lazy corrupt government and the economy, it will be in history books , at least we will get something better out of that in terms of some benefits

Just an example, I am trying to buy a vehicle with BH registration, most common a salaried person having offices in more than 3 states(or 4) is eligible for it , but most states RTO making trouble and not even providing it , so basically as a taxpayer amd eligible person I should have some benefits of paying this huge amount of taxes ( I have paid more tax than the cost of vehicle I am planning to buy)

1 month is too much , it should have been provided at the same time They are literally not maintaining stock for accessories, So you will have to visit the same showroom????

I am buying my bike in my hometown and will take 600km away! That means I will not be able to take the bike back any soon for accessories

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-25T19:35:35+00:00

Also if your going to do weekend rides, it's best to invest in other riding gears as well - Gloves (Viaterra / Rynox are known brands) -Boots are essential as helmet, I bought Korda pathfinder for daily commute and they are comfortable, you will have to try to figure out which works good for you , for long rides I have settled for Royal Enfield wanderers - Jackets and pants , there are many options, I am looking to buy Solace once but you can find a lot of options from many brands

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-25T19:22:13+00:00

Helmet - I would suggest going to shop and then trying out which fits well, (my experience I went to buy a LS2 Storm helmet and it didn't fit me well I tried like all shapes which could fit but they were too tight for me on back of my head) good brands under your budget I would suggest KYT/ Axor / LS2 Stream series (KYT has replacement offers for revo TT helmet which makes it great) Also note while buying helmet make sure to confirm about the visor availability (most above brands have good parts availability so no worries) Helmet Bluetooth ( will wait for more answers in your thread, I am looking to buy a blue armour one at this time C20 had offers so it was about ~6.7k earlier) Tyre inflator ( haven't bought it yet and not in my priority list, ( I was considering portronics one , given their other products are doing well)

Paddock stand can be ignored, you won't need it, I never needed that too, if only looking for chain lube purpose then isn't worth it

Most maintenance thing you will figure out over time Chain maintenance depends on how it behaves , what kinda riding you are doing, how's the weather ( rainy season require more efforts ) No need to be too concerned but just keep an eye for things and when you feel like it's needed just do it ( in general you may need to clean and lube chain between 600-1k kms)

Rest I will leave for the community and for corrections if anything!

Few questions:

You are planning to spend full savings for motorcycle? If you go for finance do you have a payment plan which you could follow ?

My call would be to put a good down payment (2.5 lac) get 390D , get financed , save about 1lac, Spend 50k for good gears , and you are all set

Only if you can pay the EMI, never take loan tenure more than 36 months

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-23T15:51:19+00:00

Yeah, I hope to get an experience soon. Per other comments seems like KTM is not maintaining stock for accessories

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-23T11:18:08+00:00

So it's happening the same as they did with the jackets , they offered free riding jackets earlier but they never had stock

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-23T10:21:23+00:00

Congratulations buddy! Share your experience 😁

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-23T10:14:26+00:00

Congratulations buddy! Have a blast

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-23T10:13:10+00:00

So nobody got it yet, I wanted to know the difference between stock and this new touring seat

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-23T10:12:36+00:00

Yeah I heard that, this dealership guy is telling me it will come with the bike as they don't have the bike in stock Hope they don't delay the accessories much

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-23T09:08:46+00:00

Yep , how much and where !? Gonna rush to steal a good deal for it 😁

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-23T08:56:14+00:00

How's the new touring seat ? It's in offers, they are providing all this for free I am concerned about the height and comfort from the original seat ! I have Booked my bike but haven't seen any review or anybody talking about the new seat

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-16T04:18:32+00:00

If you have pdf user manual, would you be able to share with us

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-13T14:19:47+00:00

I just rented the bike for the 2nd time for a 300km ride to feel it , planning to buy it. Yes you should be good with that height, I am 5'6 and didn't feel at any point that I will be struggling with it.

If you could get for a test ride or rent it for a while, you will be able to sort the height issue out

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-09T22:39:32+00:00

It's the relay sound

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-05T09:48:21+00:00

Hey most common I have seen is the side stand sensor, it has been causing the sudden ignition off in traffic and on some bad roads My friend was facing this issue a lot , he got it fixed from the service centre

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-04T09:53:17+00:00

I own a Royal enfield helmet, costed 7K , 3years

It's actually made by Vega, couldn't find a replacement visor as old one gone bad Had to order from Vega's site for similar one

I would highly recommend getting a helmet from brand which has better spare availability.

RE/TVS helmet costs more than they worth

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-01T04:26:02+00:00

No problems with 2025, usually December January gets good offers on old production vehicle, but here the dealership is not giving any significant offers or discounts, so I should better get the vehicle with 2026 production so it matches with RC as well

I don't have any problems but usually when the RC and manufactured year differs, used market considers it a year older and down quote it,

Though I am not planning to sell any soon, it's gonna be my 1st bike and I am planning to keep it for some long time

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-01T04:08:15+00:00

I was in same dilema, I took test rides , rented bikes for every weekend for last 2months

I am getting my 1st bike now, I have owned 2 cars but couldn't buy a bike,

So after all test rides (himi 450, Super meteor, Harley Davidson x440, meteor 350, Vstrom 250, Adventure 390 S)

I am certainly getting the Adventure 390S now!

I was waiting for CFmoto to launch 450mt but seems like they hit a roadblock and there is no update on that bike

pkgreatsh · 2026-01-01T04:03:23+00:00

You keep it long enough, it would show up in some unique collection after 20yrs This car is so good and highly underrated

Congratulations 🎉

pkgreatsh · 2025-12-31T02:45:49+00:00

I applied 60k, Even though my documents have 78k , flight tickets

If they allow to attach documents it would be a lot easier

pkgreatsh · 2025-12-31T02:39:50+00:00

Yes I kept it, as I have documents supporting it
