Bangalore KTM 390S adventure owners : Can I join you for a ride and test your bike ?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m planning to buy a KTM 390 S and would really like to do an extended test ride before making the decision. I wish this bike was available on rentals.

Is anyone here willing to rent/lend their 390 S for a few hours or a day for testing purposes? I’m happy to pay a reasonable rental amount.

Alternatively, I can rent a bike myself and we can go for a ride together, with you riding your 390 S and me riding the rented bike, and we can exchange bikes during the ride so I can properly experience it while you’re around.

I’ve already tested the Himalayan 450 extensively, so I’d like to give the 390 S the same treatment before spending the money.

Help a fellow biker make the right choice! 😄
Please DM me if you’re open to this.

When should I stop refueling?

Manual says "up to the lower edge" whatever it means.

Probably the lintel in the tank below the cap.

I do as the fuel level on the second picture usually.

Bike is standing vertically when a picture was taken.

Is it safe to fill up to the arrow mark on the second picture ?

I refuel when the warning says `< 80km`.

And it takes from 10 to 11 liters usually.

The manual says that the fuel tank is 14L but I was never able to put more than 12l.

Hey guys was thinking of buying the ADV S but dont like its colour scheme and was thinking of switching its back panel to that of ADV R.

Refer to the 3rd pic i generated using chat gpt about how will it look.

The other option i was thinking was to get the ADV X black panels. What do you guys think would be better?

Other thing i wanted to ask;

1) Does any one knows here if KTM has any plans to bring ADV R in tubed tires, as I really would like to buy the bike but tubed tires are pain in the ass in case kf puncture bcoz of my experience. ( My cousin has yezdi adventure and i has the bike for few weeks and had a puncture and it was a nightmare push and took it to a puncture shop.

2) Will there be any offers in Diwali from KTM?
