  This bike is made in China - would that stop you from buying it? Why or why not? Please be civil, but let&apos;s discuss! ( PS: yes, I repeated a sentence in the intro. That was a test to see if you were actually listening... :) )<br><br>🏍TODAY’S GEAR: <br>⚡ Arai XD5 Helmet: <a href="http://imp.i104546.net/Qy5dko">imp.i104546.net/Qy5dko </a><br>⚡ Mosko Moto Woodsman Enduro IR Pant: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/bdz4jvt8">https://tinyurl.com/bdz4jvt8 </a><br>⚡ Klim Dakar Jacket: <a href="https://imp.i104546.net/3P1Z4k">https://imp.i104546.net/3P1Z4k </a><br>⚡ REV&apos;IT!

  Its not camshafts thats the biggest problem of ktm. Its how they handle it, or rather how they put head in sand instead of taking responsibility

  I have this bike and love it. &nbsp;It has several features that are awesome and you mentioned all but one. &nbsp;The gas tanks provide really good cover for your feet in really cold weather. &nbsp;I noticed it on an extremely cold ride where others were complaining of cold feet and I did not even notice it. &nbsp;I have over 12,000 miles on this bike without a single issue.

  Excellent review and great update! Sounds like KTM has attended to the Oiling issue and a few other items as well! A buddy had his 790 engine rebuilt by the dealer back in the day! All cost was cover3d. He has since moved on and picked up a 1290 Adventure and of course loves it! He ridesthe hell out of it both on road tarmac and back road / forest roads. I will have to follow up and confirm his most recent experience!

  Currently 3k miles from home on my 2024 790 ADV. has 7k miles on it now and will have 10k in the next week. It’s had 0 issues so far. Gets 58-60mpg and is comfortable and fast. No complaints so far.

  I&apos;ve ridden a 790 Adv 2021 for 45 km with no issues. It runs like a Swiss knife.

  I once spoke to a mechanic about those cheap Chinese bikes we could all buy years ago and his advice was keep up with the engine oil change and it should last you a good few years. Today the Chinese motorcycle industry has taken off and with their prices I do not see any harm in investing in one, if this is the way KTM are going they have obviously invested a lot of time and money in research and are happy with the Chinese progress and yes I am thinking of buying &nbsp;the KTM 790 because of watching this review because until I watched it I was unaware of this problem but if the manufacturers know about it then its obviously going to be sorted , you are not tricking anyone and I see your point and pleased you made me aware. I have owned the KTM 950 and the 690 duke SM and both bike were amazing rides. Thanks for the honest review.
