But where I bought it they told me you just gotta pay assembly if you buy aftermarket and you don't put the stuff on yourself ^^.

Great video Tom, that looked like fun - wait till you try it with good rubber! Rally mode 3 with throttle in Street mode is a good all rounder setting (yes, you can wheelie then). Also, if you like the mirrors a bit lower you can remove both the spacer adapter thingys and swap sides (the adapters are both opposite threads top and bottom, so don't force them). The 790's are deceptively light and fun - right up to the point where suddenly they aren't, enjoy finding that limit :)

Keep an eye on the rear shock for leaking and the front headlight mounts for cracking with all those jumps! My 790 has been treated easy and only on 3000km but have a suspicion some corrugated roads on a quick 4 day trip caused the shock to fail and headlight mounts to crack. Shock is waiting on parts, frame warranty repair has only just been submitted and waiting to hear the outcome.

@SomeRandoInternetPoster 4 жыл бұрын

Bob Sacamano yes. I thought I was quite lucky after reading some of the issues and not experiencing them. Then spotted the reported oil sump leak, then leaking rear shock and then the cracked headlight mounts. The headlight mounts being most worrying as it requires a complete frame swap as they are not allowed to weld new ones on, it apparently being a design issue with the 1090’s and other models and breaking is common enough for multiple manufacturers to produce reinforcements.

I love this bike and I also love the 1200 Xe Trumpy scrambler, and I want to chose a favourite. The scrambler is supposed to go well off road, but I need a comparison. It's lighter than 1200 adventure bikes, all torque, top brakes and suspension... retro frame and motor = less performance?, but whatever the competition has, I like the 1200 motor more... just has to be light enough for me to throw around. More like, pick up from when I drop it on 4WD tracks. Same tracks like you just did... quite possibly there, coz that looks like VIC to me. Whaddya reckon?

The T700 will be a far better machine in terms of Price and less technology to go wrong. Ktm will be bitch to repair in 10 years, The MT-07 sounds better as well. Less engine gear whine and more exhaust note. Cant beat the 270° 4 stroke sound. The nuda 900 was is the best sound you can ever hear :)
