Wow I just bought a new KTM 890 R the dealer I bought it form is the best in town. I'm sure from what I've read about KTM dealers it will be taken care of. Please keep us posted I'm interested in the results.
Every bike has issues, that's not the concern. But when KTM's warranty process is slow to non-existent then that's a real problem. I was genuinely looking at the 890 Adventure R but decided that KTM is too much hassle. I have decided to skip the tech and go with a T7.
So, what was damaged now? Any results? Could you use everything normally without the dashboard? Any limitations with riding mode or maximum speed or whatever? Thx
No damaged. I submitted video and claims to dealer as per request.. it just TFT goes dark but no impact on any modes. All I do when this happens I pull over on side turn the bike off and on . Hoping this will cover by KTM.
Anyone ever find a solution for this? My doesn't go blank but goes haywire if it rains within 2 miles of the rain starting. Odometer and speedometer quit working and all of the warning ⚠️ lights come on.
Have you had any other problems? I'm between a 890 and T7. I know the 890 is better bet I know the T7 will we be cheaper to maintain for the next 10 years or so

The real issue is KTM use customers to identify the issues... but still won't fix the known issues years and models later

Ironically this same issue happened to the 1290 TFT.... typical ktm keep producing the same junk year after year
May I know what the error was?

It’s a KTM
Disappointing. I was looking at getting one, not sure now. Did they cover this?
This is a very common problem, they take care of it under warranty (if your bike is under warranty ofc)
Did they ever fix it for you?
After the service and software upgrade it was gone and no issue since then.

No other issues worked like a charm but I just traded in for new 2022 KTM R 1290 Supper Adventure R.
Did they warranty this out?
Not yet still waiting an answer.

Why do you need it? Speedometer and possibly gas gage is all I would care about but even that isn't essential.
There are several different riding modes you can’t put it in with the screen blank. With the screen blank you can’t turn off the abs.
