2022 KTM 890R 20,000km review.
Hey guys, I just thought I'd share my thoughts on my 18 month / 20,000km ownership of the 890R. I ride this bike fairly hard but look after it very well. I'm hoping to get many more KM's out of it!
I've added a link below to TechMoto for the GPS mount.

Well, this was the first long ride since the rebuild. I rode to the Flying Squirrel Cafe in Creemore, 1/2 offroad and !/2 on the road. The bike performed amazingly. Very happy with it and so much fun to ride.

Great ride on the Bethany Trails in Southern Ontario. The 1250 got in a bit of trouble in the mud, but he was warned!

Thought I'd take the XL350R out for a spin and try some offroad first time sinc the rebuild. Performed well, and yes it can wheelie! She got a good wash afterwards.

Went out for a ride today heading for Thornbury. As I was approaching the sky was getting darker and darker. Didn't have rain gear with me as the forecast had no rain!! So turned back around 10km from my destination, but still got caught in the rain.. Ow well, still a good ride, just water..

First "long" ride since the rebuild, about 42 km returned. Bike ran great, full use of throttle now, pulls up the hills no problem. Stopped by my cousins place, he loved it, said it felt new.. Had to add in the 80's music!!

Probably one of the best mid-size dual-sport bikes of the mid 1980's, and only bettered by the later Suzuki DR350 SE's of the 1990's and early 2000's. Really wish someone would come out with a larger air-cooled off-road/trail bike like the old XR400R for today's market. Something simple that's air-cooled with e-start and fuel injection. Basically a bigger displacement version of the current Honda CRF250F or Kawasaki's KLX230R that you could throw a lighting kit on to make street legal if you wanted to. Sadly I don't see that happening any time soon. There's a reason these older 350-400cc bikes still hold their value so well after all these years.
Nice ride. I'm from washago area . Riding a Norden.
Nice! I bet I'm missing out on alot of trails!
Yes good, warts and all opinions. Some people spend 15 minutes on video ripping into KTM over a horn falling ! I just got a new 23 model on run-out deal for a good price, awesome machine so far But all these videos have me waiting for the first failure. I’ve got a Ktm 350 , 690 and have had at least 6 x 300 ‘s with never having an issue. Hoping the 890 keeps that run going !
Agreed, I don't sweat the little things. Can it be annoying, yes, but I'm sure all bikes can be like that.. So far, 20k in, I love it. Like I said, I just hope I can keep riding the way I do for years to come. Enjoy your bike Richard!!
I daily rode one just like yours for 2 years, back in the 80's and put 45,000 mostly trouble free miles. Covered every dirt road in my county at least twice. I'm still looking for another XL350R No DR will ever do.
Thats awesome!
Fantastic review, thanks a lot!
Awesome video, thanks for that. That KTM is flying!
Nice Ride
It was!
Merci pour cette présentation 😊 J'ai eu la même en 1985, et c'est un super souvenir, j'ai fait beaucoup de choses avec cette moto.
@@patetses4pattes567 Bienvenue, je suis content que vous ayez apprécié la vidéo.
Had one thirty yrs ago comute / trails./ Hwy. Perfect cheap all-rounder Honda bring back this one ✅
@@user-vt9uh7pt4j agreed! I guess it’s there CRF300L now? Still, this oldie is more fun!
Actually trying to pick up this very model. Love it. Had a 75 350XL In highschool, it was my first mode of transportation to get back and forth to work and school. dang i loved that first taste of mobile freedom. I was 17.
That's awesome! The 350's are a little harder to find. They only made them for 2 years.
80s bikes are awesome.
They are a lot of fun, that's for sure!
Watching you kickstart that bike reminded me why I rode 2 strokes until 4 strokes were e start and fuel injected, lol. Nice looking rebuild though.
Thanks, yeah, I should have taken my time to find TDC. Once you do that, it fires up right away.
Hi I'm Wayne! Love your video!!! I live in the Hedgesville WV area and am looking for a good friend or friends that like to ride motorcycles (especially ADV motorcycles), go fishing, camping, back road and trail riding, exploring, or just hanging out with like minded people! If you or anyone you know needs a good friend, like I do, and is interested in getting out of the house and going on some adventures please let me know!
Thanks Wayne, I'm glad you enjoyed it, including the music! I actually live in the Simcoe area and love ADV riding,.
@@justinrichards1984 I've never heard of that area! Let's go riding sometime!
Now that's what being Canadian is all about!!! great video.
You are right in my in my back yard . New Lowell . thumbs up like sub
Cool! Thanks.
Very nice bike! Wish I could find something similar.
Thanks, took a lot to get it this way!
I had a 1985 XR 100 as a kid. Loved that bike.
I had a 1984 xr350r! Ive also owned every jap bike and KTM under the sun. The XR350r is still considered the best bike ive ever owned!!
The power is so much more gentle than modern bikes. Makes it more fun in a different way.
Had a 99 XR 400R pumpercarb. Roadtyers aggressive power delivery. Handled terrible / to high / much preferred my 85 XL350R. Useable Torque great all-rounder 👌

Cool bike , ive owned every XR from 75 cc to 650 , but not the 350 😊 test rode one but couldn't make the trade
As I have learned the hard way, they only produced the 350 for two years. They are fairly rare compared to the 250 or 600.
Why the annoying music? Just the sound of the engines is so much better a few minutes in to the video.
Sorry..
👍👍👍
Thx.
seat cover looks correct. # plates & fenders all are perfect. Are they original ??. even the skid plate is factory. ..... I miss my 85 XR 200
@@mikeherrmann5360 all original, yes
The bikes are too heavy for these tracks😲👍
Have to say the bike went quite far dont worry the heads of the bike will protect it from going in to deep
The epitome of “all the gear and no idea” BMW are the masters of marketing. These bikes are a comfortable way to go around the world, but by no means the best - way too limited by their weight.
Price, economy, reliability and weight put The Royal Enfield Himalayan at the top of my list.
That bike has been getting great reviews.
Cool video, thanks Justin. Looks so much slower and less impressive on video😂. The mud, the train tracks, the falls, the fun… What a day!
Yeah, it was great! Still feeling it today!
Mine also starts alright. Occasionally I let it go through the full cycle. Do you find it necessary to do the full cycle every time you start it, or was it enough to do the double full cycle once to recalibrate, or something?
@@RedRupert64 I do both cycles every time. Pain, but seems to work better
No… No… No….😂
@@kinouillek hilarious!
Cool bike and nice 360 camera views, what camera equipment is it? I just picked up a very good condition 98 xr250r, now I'm going down the rabbit hole on old xr's.
@@nvmcrider8475 I’m using the insta 360 and insta ace pro.. love these old bikes!
Bike looks clean man! I'm almost done with my '85 XL350R build, just need to polish up the plastic. 😎
@@andylgarcia I’d love to see it!
Hey if you want to see what my bike looks like its on kijiji now lol
@@nednelp9051 ok, thx
Beautiful ❤
@@user-eg5ys8nm7s thank you.
NOPE.
got hammered with rain couple weeks ago, was on the last road in the video during the storm and it turned into a river. Never seen rain fall so hard through the trees
@@6738 yeah it must of been bad to this damage.
Right on you finally got it running again! I just recently had to redo my valve seats on my XL, they got chipped going down the street one day. Got it all back together with 190 psi and it runs amazing my bike is actually the 8th result on google images when you search "1984 honda xl350r" if you ever wanna see it
Great with the Music 👍 also cool bike
Thank you!
Nice touch with the 80s music. This is the essence of Adventure motorcycle riding.
Thanks, felt it was appropriate.
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Man!
What skid plate you running brother
This is the AXP skid plate. Been great so far, 16000km later.
Your problem is actually low fuel pressure. Either blocked breather or fuel prefilter is varnished from using fuel with ethonol in. My wife's 890 was the same. Found that the bike started better with the tank open. Checked fuel pressure at start. Too low. Prefilter was gummed up. Bike was better but then was about as bad as yours. Figured that one of the injectors was a bit gummed up so needed more pressure to work. Ran injector cleaner in the fuel for a bit. Even better but still not 100%. Blasted the injectors clean with injector cleaner. NOW perfect. Only run both of our 890s on 0% ethanol fuels. No more issues
Funny you mentioned that. Since this video this is the only way I could get it started, but recently, even using this procedure, it's been starting up rough. I also ran some injector cleaner through it and now it seems better, still using this process.
@justinrichards1984 what you can do is get a can of carb cleaner. Pull the quick connector off the fuel rail. Make an adapter to connect the can nozzel to the rail. Hold down the nozzle and spray directly though the injectors while starting. It will run a little untle the can pressure is not enough. Repeat, Repeat. Fixed
It’s cool you were able to try it but a bike like this one should be tested offroad 😕. Maybe next time they will let you.
I know, I feel it would have been good off road..
Very interesting. Is that a CFMoto Chinese engine or an Austrian engine?
Mine is Austrian.
@@justinrichards1984 Mine too... 790 Adv R.
What class was this? Iron? Bronze?
This was considered hard, but there was quite a bit left out.. it was 6 hours and I couldn’t always get the camera set up.
She sounds good too.
beauty of a bike!!!
Thanks!
