There are suspension threads for the 890 Adventure R Rally and for the 790 Adventure R/Rally but nothing for the 890 Adventure R. Considering the OE suspension set up is different for all three bikes figured a dedicated reference/thread for the 890 Adventure R may be beneficial. #1. Elkfeva, Regina Rider and phm14 like this.

The 950/990's felt a little less top heavy when pushing them around, the 1090 holds more gas higher so it feels more top heavy. At moderate speeds, like 5-25 mph, the 950/990's steer heavy and don't turn as well, the 1090 feels like it has a steeper steering angle and turns quicker and more precise.
after blowing the seals on the xplor pro forks, i sent the forks and shock to konflict motorsports in austin, who resprung, revalved and upgraded the seals. konflict setup the rottweiler performance rally bike and i think they do all the suspension work for rottweiler bike builds. they also race their own bikes. so, they seem to have loads of
To adjust the suspension on your KTM 1090 Adventure R, locate the rebound and compression adjustment dials on the front and rear suspension. By turning these dials, you can fine-tune the suspension settings to match your riding preferences and the terrain you are riding on.
I would suggest looking closely at the rear shock connecting plug. Some of the bikes came out with the plug wire rubbing on the fender and it may loosen the connection after a while. Try to re seat the plug. You may have to disconnect the battery to get the warning off.
Rear Shock: -preload one click, almost all the way out. -low speed compression 5 clicks out. -high speed compression 2 turns out (17mm socket or there is a odd tapering socket in the kit that works wth the factory T handle) -rebound (long screwdriver at the bottom of the shock) 11 clicks out. Ride safe, far and enjoy!
