🐄 Ktm 1090 Adventure R Suspension Settings
The KTM 1090 Adventure R is an exciting machine to ride with its liquid-cooled v-twin power plant generating 125 horsepower. It also features incredible WP suspension including a PDS rear-shock, confidence inspiring traction control modes and best-in-class ABS that perform well both on and off-road.
We spent some time at the KTM headquarters in California where Quinn Cody walked us through the settings available to the rider on the KTM 1090 Adventure R.

New bikes have edged up in price, but KTM’s middleweight adventurer, now with 105hp, is competitively priced at £10,999, or £11,999 for the R model with higher specification WP suspension. Arguably its closest competition comes from BMW’s 850 GS Adventure and Triumph’s Tiger 900, both of which are more expensive than the KTM.
The standard spring in the 250EXC is 69N/mm, but this is for a 75-85kg rider. For our 97kg rider we need a recommended 72N/mm spring. Cost from KTM is modest, about £80. If you’ve got the tools you can fit this at home but if not any bike shop should be able to do this in no more than 15 minutes.
The R takes the 1090 Adventure with its well-ploughed furrow of steel trellis frame and V-75 LC8 twin engine and adds more power, stronger spoked wheels, a narrower and bigger 21-inch front tyre, crash bars and 220mm suspension travel – it’s a list which points immediately as much to dirt trails as it does to adventure travel.
I have adjusted mine twice, both times I just pulled the handlebars and used a socket. Smacked the head stem bolt a couple of times as well and each time got another 1/4 odd turn. Haven't had a problem with a loose head stem in 10K kilometres. I would assume that the 1290 is the same as the 1090 @18nm.
SUSPENSION PRO also offers three automatic preload auto-leveling settings – LOW, STANDARD, and HIGH. In this instance, the suspension is able to adjust the preload automatically in accordance with the weight of the rider and recreate 3 defined geometries: AUTO-STANDARD: neutral and balanced geometry. AUTO-LOW: relaxed, less aggressive, more

Power and Suspension rocked in 3rd is possible with a near empty tank (1290SA) since 8 gallons can be heavy when combined with my 220# dressed weight. If the tank is full I usually need to clutch wheelie in 3rd & 4th. If you cant power wheelie in 1st with MTC off then something is wrong with the engine setup or the bike is just loaded very heavy.
