Rottweiler Beast Mode Stage 4 Air Box Upgrade

If you own a KTM 1190 Adventure or R model, you’ve probably heard somebody in your riding group mention air box issues that allow dust getting past the filter on the earlier 1190s. Although I’ve seen various articles discussing it over the last few years, it didn’t prevent me from purchasing my dream bike. I currently ride a 2015 1190R, the model year during which KTM updated the air box with a wedge-shaped insert that holds the K&N-style filter tightly against the air box opening. This fix has cured the problem for most riders, but serious off-roaders need to check the air box after dusty rides or install the pre-filters that KTM offers for the front air channels.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS

It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES

Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
