My dealer gave me a deal on the tech pack be cause I buy quite a bit of stuff from them - I think about $475. I've had both the cs shaft leak and the valve cover gasket leak on the right side.but if you fear for reliability (as the 2017 is the first rev of the new gen) go for the 2018 or 2019 - as they mostly have the problems prev. ones might have had sortet out (like on the 790: headgasket, routing of the tank overflowt tube)
He said the 1290s had tons of electric and no start issues ad the 790 adv had warped rotors all the time and the 2 Vilipen 701 they had have clutch slave failures --I said haha I know, my son rented that 701 to try one day and the slave cal went and pissed fluid out and no clutch. Anyway, I dont think KTM is paying enough attention to detail. alelo โข '17 390 -> 2019 duke 790 -> 2021 duke 890r โข Additional comment actions i think its funny, because my dealer in vienna has like 4 390, 10 890/r, some 1290 adventure/dukes, and lots of 690 enduro/SM and the offriad/Racing bikes - they also got a RC8R now :O
