As for filters, I would only recommend KTM’s, and that means from a dealers or online. KTM oil filter kit part number : 00050000068. A 15W- or 20W-50 will retain a higher viscosity and provide better protection to the cams than a 10W-50, even if these oils have the same HTHS. A healthy amount of ZDDP is important as well. Even with an optimal oil, the cams may still wear excessively on engines that have serious manufacturing defects. It’s close enough to the scheduled oil change mileage (9,300 miles). I’m doing a little more than an oil change, but not much. Today is oil change day. The bike is on the stand ready to go. First things first. The skid plate is removed – 6 screws and one vent line – and cleaned. In this video, Charles shows the proper steps to changing the oil and oil filters on the 2019 KTM 790 Adventure R. Check out KTM 390 Adventure | In this video I will going over the oil change procedure for the 390 Adventure. This engine is also used in the following bikes, and the The 790 Adventure boasts a nearly 2-inch lower seat height (32.7″), road-oriented tires, bigger windscreen and less suspension travel (7.9″/7.9″). We expect the 790 Adventure to be a more approachable, confidence-inspiring adventure machine that will still retain much of the off-road capability of the 790 Adventure R. While the KTM 790 i trust the 15k km/9k miles intervals of my 790 - i am at 6700km right now with mine - did a oil+filter change at 6400km (rode it through winter and had it stand in -°C during the day and then ride it home etc.,) chain didnt need adjustment yet - so yeah i trust it, i even think the 7500km/4600miles intervals of the 390 were too short. 2. The KTM 790 Duke is based on an all-new LC8c (the “c” being for “compact) engine, which was adopted into the KTM 790 Adventure the following model year. It’s a liquid-cooled fuel-injected 799cc parallel twin that in the 790 Duke makes max power of 78 kW (105 hp) @ 8500 rpm, and 86 Nm (64 ft-lb) of torque at 8000 rpm. BC3ZM6.
