Whoo!! Congratulations on the new bike man!!! She is a pretty one!! That Dam was a good spot for a photo shoot! People ask why we want bikes with all of that power... well when they realize how confidence inspiring and overall safer when trying to pass another vehicle, I think they understand! 😁. Good video Fasty!!
I’ve just chopped mine in,I found the tyres were very good and had a lot of confidence in ‘em,the slack in throttle easy enough to sort out 10mins with the RACETORX spacers,and yes the engine is ballisticy powerful I just didn’t want to lose my licence (need it for work drive for a living)shame to let it go but had a lot of fun with it and surprise’s a lot of rev jockeys on their head down arse up sports bikes🤣enjoy pal.
Bloody lovely bike mate. Incredible amount of power. The Yeti in our group loves his. Look forward to seeing the upcoming videos with it. Stay safe mate
She is a beautiful bike mate. That back drop on the walk around. 😍😍. Really looking forward to your adventures this year. Also can’t wait to see all the mods you are going to do 💪🏻
@@FastyRides hey mate. I would say ditch the tyres asap! They are ok in the warm and dry. Unfortunately, they are rubbish in the damp and cold! I also have a handle bar wobble at 30-ish! I put Michelin road 6’s on! Cured the wobble and transformed the handling. Stay safe pal.
Great choice pal, and might I say beautiful countryside any chance you could let us know where you filmed this and any road names or directions I could use to follow, keep them coming 😅
Hi Alan, all the roads in this video are on Saddleworth more near Rishworth, Halifax and Oldham. Here is some numbers - A672, A58, Pike end road, Baitings gate road & B6114, Fasty Rides
@@52yamahar1 I had them Install a map for the kit I added. Intake, exhaust, sas delete. Go to Rottweiler performance and add to cart. Fits good, good instructions, quality
well Im 5 foot 9 and have the seat on the lowest setting and the wind still hits me on the top of the helmet. So i bought a cheap amazon wind deflector which cracked both sides of the screen. So now I have a MRA with built in wind deflector, the difference is night and day. well worht the money, plus it makes the bike look better in my opinion. Fasty-Rides
Just get the throttle re-calibrated Takes about five minutes, if that Sometimes thay do it free if you get it serviced Or have a look on RUclips M8 Sounds good already Just take your time And get used to it before you push the last thing you want is 2 mess up I like that bike I just don’t like the two big bits of plastic that stick out Where are you riding? Looks really nice Enjoy your new bike
oh thats something new, i didnt know you could remap the throttle. I will have a look online. Yer its the tires, I have a real thing with anything other than Avon Spirit ST's. but to be fair these seem not too bad on the road. Saddleworth moor inbetween Oldham and Halifax. Its a great little route I do quite often. Thanks again for the info mate. Fasty Rides
@@lifeontwowheels1206 there isn't much on the net about it, only a video on how to calibrate a 690. I might call in the ktm garage this weekend and ask them to do it.
@@FastyRides I don’t really know i’m just going on what my friend said about his KTM He told them about it when he had his service He said they re-calibrated it took about five minutes he said it feels like 80% better If it was me, I would ask ktm abat it they will be able to tell you properly hopefully they sort it for you
Enjoyed that Fasty,what a cracking bike,looks like it could be a license loser if your not careful,take it easy to start mate,then pull the trigger,,, ;-) Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Thanks MrB, yer Ive done a few hundred miles on it now and im starting to gell with it a little bit now. Its a totally different animal to the XR but I can see Im going to get on with this bike. Fasty-Rides
What a beast, just 26 times the cubic capacity of my little Dax :) It must be a lot wider than it looks though with you struggling to get past those poor cyclists riding in the gutter on those empty roads.

Hi fella Thank you. Ive got a long list of mods but money is going to be the only bottle neck with that. More to follow, Fasty Rides
Top choice mate. I’ve had mine 8 months! Best decision ever!
Hi Ben, it is a great bike, I just need to get confident in the tyres and how to wheelie the bugger. hahahaha Cheers Fasty
@@FastyRides hey mate. I would say ditch the tyres asap! They are ok in the warm and dry. Unfortunately, they are rubbish in the damp and cold! I also have a handle bar wobble at 30-ish! I put Michelin road 6’s on! Cured the wobble and transformed the handling. Stay safe pal.
@@benkelly2190 yer I think I need new rubber. I can't get fully confident in the mitus ones.
Congratulations and great choice! The power is very addictive 😁
Thank you. yer im loving the power and torque. Fasty Rides

@@FastyRides Cheers pal I did try and look it up lol
I have the R version. I installed the Rottweiler upgrades the low rpm smoothness was really good. It’s fun full time.
What upgrade was it you installed? Did u get it remapped after installing them or did it run fine?
@@52yamahar1 I had them Install a map for the kit I added. Intake, exhaust, sas delete. Go to Rottweiler performance and add to cart. Fits good, good instructions, quality
Bloody epic eh , also what amazing roads , where are they
Hey Carl, Roads are local to Ripponden, just up the hill on Saddleworth moor. Fasty Rdies
@@FastyRides thank you so much
Beast of a bike matey. I almost traded my 1290gt in for one but ended gerrin mi gsa for a steal. Happy riding pal 👍👍
Thank you. the GT was the other option I had but went with this. Fasty Rides
Noice 👌
Thanks
Congrats on new bike mate, gonna be a spanking summer 😂😂
Oh its gonna get spanked mate. Thanks. Fasty Rides
Hows the standard screen for wind blast?
well Im 5 foot 9 and have the seat on the lowest setting and the wind still hits me on the top of the helmet. So i bought a cheap amazon wind deflector which cracked both sides of the screen. So now I have a MRA with built in wind deflector, the difference is night and day. well worht the money, plus it makes the bike look better in my opinion. Fasty-Rides
Just get the throttle re-calibrated
Takes about five minutes, if that
Sometimes thay do it free if you get it serviced
Or have a look on RUclips
M8
Sounds good already
Just take your time And get used to it before you push the last thing you want is 2 mess up
I like that bike I just don’t like the two big bits of plastic that stick out
Where are you riding? Looks really nice
Enjoy your new bike

@@FastyRides yeah my friend had his done
But he does not have the adventure
But I guess it’s pretty much the same
No worries pal
@@lifeontwowheels1206 there isn't much on the net about it, only a video on how to calibrate a 690. I might call in the ktm garage this weekend and ask them to do it.

Does the KTM SAS 1290 require premium fuel? minimum octane 91 ? My guess is yes, please someone confirm. Thanks.
I would always go with premium fuel in my bike if its an option. Fasty Rides
Gooo on pal, what a spunky looking bum tickler! Ride safe bud, see thee soon 👍
Thanks fella. It got spanked on the way home from Monyash on Sunday. Fasty Rdies
Enjoyed that Fasty,what a cracking bike,looks like it could be a license loser if your not careful,take it easy to start mate,then pull the trigger,,, ;-)
Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Thanks MrB, yer Ive done a few hundred miles on it now and im starting to gell with it a little bit now. Its a totally different animal to the XR but I can see Im going to get on with this bike. Fasty-Rides
So much better with the tech pack got mine as an ex demo came with the tech pack
I agree, I'm really glad the tech pack came with the bike. Fasty Rides
What a beast, just 26 times the cubic capacity of my little Dax :) It must be a lot wider than it looks though with you struggling to get past those poor cyclists riding in the gutter on those empty roads.
hahahaha, we should do a ride out. you on your Dax. I think I might get a 125 to mess about on at some point. Fasty Rides
I solld mine, I now don't have a sore bum
I haven't taken her on a long ride yet, but I do have an air cushion if it's needed.
