- In this episode of Back in the Garage I show you how to remove and then reinstall the fuel tank on your KTM Adventure Bike. While I'm working on a 1290 Super Adventure, the process is very similar for other 1290 Super Adventure models as well as 1190 and 1090 bikes.

Thank you for the video. I think that saves us all a lot of money for whoever's willing to do it. Think a lot of people here are afraid to turn a wrench. Great how-to video much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
Yet again, you come to the rescue. Brilliant videos. My 1090 would probably be in bits on the garage floor without you. Thanks.
Adding my own thanks to the list. Good video. Replaced the fuel pump on my '16 SA today. This video on how to remove the tank was super helpful.
Glad to hear it!
Hey man! Thank you so much for putting this tutorial together. Managed to do this on my own which saved me a ton of Money.
Keep It up dude, love what you're doing with this channel!
Would you be able to do a video on how you fitted, and secured the seat padding or skin? You really saved me a lot of money with these videos. Just did the plugs, tank removal, air filter, and oil change thanks to your help. Really appreciate it! Best help videos for these bikes on the net! Thanks!
Thanks for posting these they have been extremely helpful in doing work on my 1090. So far there is next to no difference in the steps you show vs what I've done on mine. Especially the headlight install that one helped me get my gps hardwired and the 12v connection.
Glad to hear it!
Just dis some work on the bike which involved removing the tank......had to go back and watch this video again. Thanks for the help......2017 1290 SA-T, 39,000 and still running great....
Great video on the process. I have just discovered I am lazier at my tank removals than you. I do not remove the crash bars and zip tie the plastic pieces near the handlebar together so I can unplug and pull. I already did the install on some Black Dog Cycle Works kits, but the kickstand relocation kit would be an awesome video for your channel. Especially when almost all KTMs have this issue. Great job as always!
I removed everything in this case to make it easier to do all the other tasks such as checking the valve clearance, replacing the spark plugs, deleting the SAS and installing the Rottweiler airbox. Keeping all the plastic pieces on would have made it a bigger PITA. But I agree I don't remove all the stuff just to get the tank off anymore, I keep as much in place as I can. Appreciate the suggestion on the kickstand reloco.
I do the same. It's A LOT easier.
Mario, another great video. I got my '16 SA in January and was pretty ignorant about it... until I watched your vids.

She looks a lot slimmer with her "clothes" off doesn't she?
I remove tank without removing any crash bars and I cleaned air fliter.
My bike is 1190..👌👌👌
You can and it’s much easier on the 1090/1190 models than the 1290/1290T with the wider tank.
@@2WRah that makes sense. The smaller tanks on the non-t models you can skip removing the crash bars. Fyi, my 2020 sar doesn't come w heated seats. Can be added but not there in stock form. Great videos man
Wow, the 1090/1190 is much less of a hassle! It's a one beer process, no crashbar removal needed!
Keep in mind I’m checking the valves and changing spark plugs which requires the radiator to be rocked forward for clearance so plan to remove your crash bars when doing that or chance damaging your radiator.
Good video, but today i take off tank and side panels, with out removing crash bars easily:))) lucky me , it’s save my time:))))
Yea it can be done without removing them. In this case I was checking the valves which requires the crash bars to removed in order to rock the radiator forward to get the front valve cover off.
2 Wheeled Rider ou, in this case of course:) I changed left handlebar switcher :) but thanks for video instructions, it encouraged me to do myself:))))
sei un grande zio 💪
Very good video! Thanks for sharing this information. Are you considering to create a video explaining how to install auxiliary lights? It would be great :) Thanks and greeting from Portugal.
WTF is KTM thinking ? An air filter should be a daily replacement or clean item on an adventure bike. You should not have to take the whole bike apart to replace it !
Britishshooter 100% agree 🤦🏼♂️
There are prefilters that pop right off on the front of the bike. If you're riding dirt you should be using them instead of relying entirely on the main filter.
Dave could you please tell me where I can find them?
@@ticoenmoto it comes standard on the 1290 super adventure R. Otherwise it's available as a KTM power part.
Adventure bike? HAHAHAHAA!!! I had a 950 S and this thing is a tank off road, comparatively. . It'll never go there again since I got the XR. After the airbox install it'll get checked when I do the valves. and .... welcome to KTM.
Great video and instructions. Bought a booster plug for the 2016 KTM SA since they claim it will enrich the fuel mix and even out the herky jerky low speed running etc. Had to remove the tank to get at the AIT sensor at the airbox. Didn't realize the tank covers the air box but your video saved the day. Putting it all back together after I mount a denali soundbomb. Have you tried any boosterplugs and if so what do you think? Regards, JT
I have the Rottweiler fuel dongles on my bike and they work great.
Great video thanks. Ready to do mine.
Perfect timing with this video, since I recently ordered the Stage 2 SAS/Canister removal kit (I decided not to do the airbox). I'll be pulling my tank for the first time to do the SAS and also improve some wire routing I did previously, with the tank in place. Would you agree that I can leave the crash bars in place for the SAS job?
Probably. You're just going to have to be more precise when putting the tank back on since you have to get those 2 nipples?(not sure what to call them) of the tank placed back down into the crash bars.
Very professionell!!!!! THX
Excellent videos Mario!
Thanks Jim!
Hi, great video, thanks for that.
I have a 1290S SA and my radiator has sprung a leak. I need some advice regardign removal. I dont have any manuals on this. Have you or anyone else removed their rad? Annoyingly i have a radiator cover fitted and i cannot see any visible damage when i removed it. I may need to buy a new radiator rather than repair. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Regards, Terry
Really helpful, thank you.
Can be done without removing crash bars, yes? I'm doing it now but don't see any reason the CB needs to come off. Awesome vids, thank you!
You're correct they don't have to come off in order to remove the tank. Mine had to come off though in order to check the valves (need clearance to rock radiator forward in order to remove front valve cover) so easier to do before removing the tank. Best of luck in whatever maintenance you're doing!
@@2WR Removed the tank for the smog removal. You have the T as well, I see. Good tip on the valve adjustment process.
watched parts of this several times. thank you!
b
Thanks a lot!
Very good video!
Thanks James
Also, when placing the tank back on the bike tuck the fuel pump hose out of the way so it does not get caught up on things.
thanks,nice guy
I have a question for ya, were can I find a seat cover like you have on your 1290 for my 1190? Thx ..... great vid by the way!!!
Patrick, I bought it was a big piece of sheepskin and then trimmed it down to fit. It's held on with 2 safety pins and a wide piece of elastic on each seat. I picked up my sheepskin from Shartlesville Sheepskin in PA. Runs about $100 for a full one but they also sell smaller pieces as well. Been using skeepskins for over 15 years now and love them.
@@2WR How is that sheepskin pad for long rides? Does it cut down on fatigue? How is it when its raining? Like sitting on a wet sponge? lol I have a bad back and need something to help a bit. Could really use a backrest for this bike for long trips on the highway.
Now, just why am I watching this when I don't own a KTM? Nice "Back in the Garage" logo, BTW! Facial hair coming in nicely, about time to trim that (Wahl makes good trimmers, I get lazy about trimming mine though, it's a bit scraggly at the moment.)
I'm trying to decide when/if to trim or shave off the beard...it's gotta get warmer first.(and I think you secretly want a KTM)
Have to admit, if I had the disposable income a Super Duke R would be a serious temptation, but then I'd need to expand the garage....One of these weeks it will stay warmer; just got my Daytona out of hibernation last week, in time for the latest "wintry mix" this week.
...you know you do... ktm...ktm... hear it calling??
Do you need to bleed the fuel pump after reinstalling the tank please? Thank you
Nope. Just hook it back up and turn on the petcocks.
On crash bars I noticed the are rubbing on the tank by the engine bracket on the left side and on the right side it touching the fuel cock. Any ideas on how to adjust?
Could be the tank isn’t sitting on there properly. Could also be the bars are just misaligned. Unfortunately could also be that the frame is bent (dunno if u bought used it not). I would take them off, check that the tank is properly mounted and then reinstall the bars.
Any estimation of how much this tank weighs without fuel? That thing looks massive
Hardly anything. Maybe 10lb
Just drain the tank from the petcocks into a fuel can. Makes it easier to lift tank
What do you have for highway pegs?

Thanks ‘
Thanks you
I noticed a fuel stain on the tail of the tank cover at around to 12:23 mark. My tank was leaking at where the little treaded brass insert sits in the tank itself which meant a new tank on warranty. I smelled fuel last year but we rationalized that it was just the vent at the time - glad we found it because it would be a bugger to have the leak start a fire and burn up the bike while on our planned 10,000 Km scoot this summer. Maybe check and see if yours is leaking as well.
I will never figure out what the purpose of a backwards ball cap is.
There are, or should be, very thin plastic spacers under the crash bar clamps as well. Very easily damaged and/or lost. Clamshell like pieces.
I've done away with them at this point (might have one or two left). They're there to help with vibration. A piece of electrical tape will accomplish the same task.
2 Wheeled Rider, agreed.
Who designed that bike what a pain to have to remove so much to get the tank off. I know bikes are not as fixable on the side of the road as they used to be but that is ridiculous.
With the included tool kit I can strip it down in under 13 minutes. And yes, I’ve done it while on a trip. While there are certainly bikes that require less time to get to things, I’ve also spent far more time removing plastic fairings from sport tourers.
You should try the older 990. Worse than this. And you had to do it for an oil change too !!! Sold it for that reason alone.
Aren't you a bit clumsy to be doing a how to vid!? Thanks from a fellow clumsy person!
Step one: remove your sheep.
You don’t have to pull off crash bars, please save yourself the hassle and don’t remove them.
In this case I did since one of the reasons I was removing the tank was to check/adjust the valves. The only way to get enough space to check the front cylinder is to rock the radiator forward and the only way to do that is to remove the crash bars.
Boy what a pain in the ass
Yeah I’ll pass KTM..... that’s insane
