The heart of the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is the revised and Euro5 compliant V-twin. The eye-widening 160 hp and 138 Nm come in a lighter form (-1.6 kg) thanks to thinner engine cases and a new oil circuit. The engine breathes through an upgraded two-headed exhaust and shifts with a revised PANKL gear mechanism that brings big improvements in Other than the discharging batteries, that is. Easy to check with any multimeter that has a milliamp range. A healthy stock 1190, the draw is tiny, something like 3 milliamps or less.
