PSA for KTM 790/890 owners: DO NOT plug a USB‑A → USB‑C adapter into the bike’s USB‑A port. This probably applies to other bikes with a similar computer.

I tried to simplify my charging setup so I wouldn’t have to carry both USB‑A→C and USB‑C→C cables. Seemed harmless. Turns out it was a terrible idea.

The moment I plugged a USB‑A→USB‑C adapter into the KTM’s dash port, I started getting undefined, borderline cursed behavior:

• Blank TFT screen at startup — even with no phone or cable connected.
• Weird mode lockouts — plugging the adapter in after the bike was running caused the right‑hand ride mode to get stuck in Offroad.
• Occasional random glitches that felt like the bike’s CAN bus was having an existential crisis.

This wasn’t a cheap gas‑station adapter either — just a normal, reputable USB‑A→C dongle. But apparently the KTM’s USB‑A port is wired or signaled in a way that absolutely does not expect a USB‑C negotiation layer sitting on top of it.

Could be KTM’s electrical engineering. Could be the adapter’s internal logic. But honestly, whoever designed a USB‑A port that freaks out when you plug in a passive adapter deserves a little professional shade. And any software dev who let “blank screen at boot if random 5V accessory is present” slip through deserves a gentle but pointed eyebrow raise.

If you’re thinking of doing the same thing to simplify your cable kit: don’t. Just carry the proper cable. The KTM USB‑A port clearly expects a dumb, direct connection — not a translator, not a negotiator, not a middleman.

Save yourself the headache. And save your bike from having a digital panic attack. Took me awhile to figure out it was the adapter not the motorcycle.

If anyone works at KTM, please investigate and let us know the cause.

What features are available for multi-leg options? Can you open, close, set limit orders for complex orders?

Any tools for screening which options have relatively high or low IV over the last year?

I have found printing with PETG-HF leads to stringing. Better to use PETG, at least on the larger prints like the containers for the RGGS or reservoir for modular tower system.

Hey fellow Workspace Admins,

Let’s be honest: How do your users save a new contact from an email?

They don't use vCards—those are clumsy, outdated, and half the time our security filters flag .vcf attachments anyway. Instead, your users are stuck manually highlight-copying and pasting names, phone numbers, and addresses out of email signatures into Google Contacts. It’s a tedious, friction-filled process that feels straight out of 2006.

Gmail already has a brilliant, secure framework sitting right under our noses: [Schema.org](http://Schema.org) structured data.

If Gmail can parse JSON-LD to show beautiful, interactive Summary Cards for flight bookings, hotels, and package tracking, why can't it do the same for people and organization contacts?

# The Vision: A Modern, Secure "Add to Contacts" Button

Imagine sending an intro email, an onboarding welcome, or a directory update. Instead of a messy signature or a sketchy attachment, you embed a secure ContactPoint or Person schema in the email HTML.

* The UX: Gmail detects the schema and displays a clean "Contact Card" at the very top of the email thread.
* The Action: A single, prominent "Add to Google Contacts" button. One click, and the sender's verified details are saved directly to the user's Google Contacts directory.
* The Security: Zero attachments to scan. It’s all handled securely inline via verified domain schemas (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), ensuring the contact details are authentic.

This is a massive quality-of-life upgrade for users and a security win for admins.

I've been thinking about sending a sample in for oil analysis at around 8,000 km on my 790 Adventure, mainly because I suspect the oil is pretty heavily sheared by that point.
The factory interval is obviously based on testing and engineering data, but I'm wondering if it's optimized more for acceptable service life than for owners who want to keep these bikes well beyond 100,000 km.
My concern isn't that the oil is necessarily "worn out" at 8,000 km, but that the combination of:
A high-output parallel twin
Shared engine/transmission oil
Wet clutch
Frequent high RPM operation
Heat cycles and occasional slow off-road riding
could result in significant viscosity loss long before the scheduled change interval.
Before I spend the money on a lab analysis, I'm curious whether anyone else has already done it on a 790, 890, or other LC8c engine.
If you've had oil analyzed:
What bike and mileage?
What oil were you using?
What interval was on the sample?
How much viscosity shear was observed?
Any concerns with wear metals or fuel dilution?
Did the results convince you to extend, maintain, or shorten your oil change interval?
I'm not interested in starting an oil thread full of opinions. I'm mostly looking for actual analysis reports and real-world data from owners who are trying to maximize long-term engine life.
Would love to hear from anyone who's tested their oil rather than just guessing, since that's exactly what I'm considering doing at the next change.

Anyone seen a design for a trail stand, so one can check their chain on a trip?

I would like on that supports the bobbin on the swingarm. Some aluminum angle iron would work but how to make something to support the swingarm?

I have a 2026 790 Adventure with the technology pack. Is the navigation supposed be available when KTM connect is running on my phone and the phone connected to the bike?

I am in canada if that matters.

I thought I wanted a transalp but i bought a KTM790 Adventure.

Both are suitable for riders a bit too short for many mid sized adventure bikes. Both have low centre of gravity.

KTM key advantages:
- tubeless tires, so i have a chance of continuing a trip if I get a flat
- cruise control. An incredible advantage there is often the opportunity to use it. This was the dominant factor in selecting the KTM. I don’t know what Honda is thinking not offering this on a servo-operated throttle. Probably would have lived with tubed tires on the Transalp were cruise control available.

In my country only 2025 models were available. Which means no eclutch and an extra year of immediate depreciation. The KTM quick shifter is good. I imagine the eclutch is better.

Honda of course has a better reputation for quality but a much shorter warranty.

The KTM is louder than I like.

BigRock Moto on owning KTM/Norden adv bikes.

Hey all, I’m looking at starting up on Turo with a used Tesla (likely financed) and focusing mostly on airport + hotel bookings. I’ve been digging through older threads but the numbers are all over the place.

For those of you already doing this with a used Tesla purchased on credit, how much folks is making per hour once you factor in cleaning time, handoffs, charging, downtime, and all the little annoyances that add up? I’m trying to get a realistic sense of whether the margins justify the effort.

Any insights from people actually running this setup would be super helpful.

I know most riders are in the motorcycle-goes-vroom camp. I am in the quiet-as-possible camp.

I have noticed the CF Moto IBEX is quieter. So I am wondering if a muffler change could make the 790 ADV Quieter. I think some dampening in the skid plate would help since there seems to be a resonance around 4500RPM that is a little obnoxious.

I have been trying to figure out if 2019–2022 KTM 790 Adventure parts fit the newer bikes (2023–2026). Headlight protectors, Givi Racks, etc. I just went through this rabbit hole myself, so here’s the clear breakdown.

Short version:
Most of the bike stayed the same. The front end did not.
If your accessory touches the headlight, windscreen, or TFT tower, assume it won’t fit post‑2022.

Below is a simple comparison chart.

Accessory Fitment Changes (2019–2022 → 2023+ → 2026)

Component / Area	2022 & Earlier	2023–2025 (Post‑2022)	2026 Model
Headlight mask & brackets	Original 790/890 mask	Completely redesigned — new forged aluminum brackets, new mask shape	Same as 2023–2025
Windscreen & mounts	Original bolt pattern	New bolt pattern — old screens don’t fit	Same as 2023–2025
Headlight guards	2019–2022 guards fit	Do NOT fit — different shape & spacing	Same as 2023–2025
TFT / GPS mounts	Old-style tower	New tower — different attachment points	Same as 2023–2025
Front crash bars (upper)	Fit all 2019–2022	Some incompatible if they tie into the mask	Same as 2023–2025
Front fender	Original low fender	Updated design	Same as 2023–2025
Fuel tank & lower mounts	Same 790/890 tank	Unchanged	Unchanged
Lower crash bars	Fit	Fit	Fit
Skid plate	Fit	Fit	Fit
Subframe & pannier mounts	Same since 2019	Unchanged	Unchanged
Top rack mounts	Same since 2019	Unchanged	Unchanged
Exhaust / mid‑pipe	Same LC8c routing	Unchanged	Unchanged
Seat	2‑piece seat	Same system	Same system
Handlebars / controls	Standard KTM tapered bars	Same	Same
Suspension	Original APEX	Updated APEX (890‑spec)	Same as 2025

What This Means in Real Life

Stuff that WILL NOT fit your 2023–2026 bike:

• 2019–2022 headlight guards
• 2019–2022 windscreens
• 2019–2022 GPS/TFT mounts
• Any upper crash bars that bolt into the old mask
• Some fender risers or low‑fender mods

Stuff that WILL fit all the way from 2019 → 2026:

• Skid plates
• Lower crash bars
• Pannier racks (Givi, Outback Motortek, etc.)
• Top racks
• Slip‑ons / mid‑pipes
• Handguards, mirrors, bar risers
• Seats (usually — same latch system)

Why the Fitment Break Happened

KTM basically left the chassis alone but rebuilt the entire front end starting in 2023:

• New forged aluminum support structure
• New headlight mask
• New windscreen shape
• New TFT mounting system

Everything behind the steering head is basically the same bike.

If you’re shopping AliExpress / Amazon / eBay

If the listing says:

• “2019–2022” → Won’t fit your 2023–2026
• “2019–2023” → Still won’t fit (they’re guessing)
• “2023+” → Safe
• “790/890 Adventure 2023–2024–2025–2026” → Safe

The front-end redesign is the only real trap.

Will this VEVOR rear stand work for KTM 790 Adventure with spools?
Post:
Hey all,
Looking at picking up this VEVOR rear stand:
https://www.vevor.ca/motorcycle-wheel-lift-stand-c\_10303/vevor-motorcycle-rear-wheel-stand-with-u-l-fork-swingarm-spool-850-lbs-capacity-heavy-duty-rear-wheel-stand-motorcycle-lift-jack-stand-for-suzuki-yamaha-honda-kawasaki-black-p\_010626409039
I’ve got a KTM 790 Adventure and I’m planning to run swingarm spools. From what I’ve found:
The 790 uses M10 x 1.5 spools, which are pretty standard

This stand comes with U-shaped hooks for spool lifting

Adjustable width is ~225–350 mm, so it should fit the KTM swingarm spacing

Rated for 850 lbs, so weight isn’t an issue

So on paper it seems compatible.
My only concerns:
The 790 is a bit taller/top-heavy than sport bikes

Not sure if the stand geometry plays nicely with ADV bikes

Possible clearance issues with the exhaust (especially if not stock)

Being a budget stand, wondering how stable it feels lifting solo

For my use (chain maintenance, cleaning, basic work), I don’t need anything fancy—but I also don’t want something sketchy.
Anyone here running this stand (or similar) on a 790/890 Adventure?
Would love to hear real-world fit and stability feedback before I pull the trigger.
Thanks!
