The KTM 1290 SA is a world class adventure bike. Straight out of the box it is ready to tackle any level of overland travel. However, there were a few extras that would provide some added protection and convenience. These seven easy pre-trip mods are already proving to be beneficial.
1. Washable Stainless Steel Oil Filter
Oil is easy to find, bike specific oil filters are not.
