If there's a bad seal, expanding air escapes as the dash heats up. Then as it cools it pulls air in. Any moisture in that air gets stuck inside the dash. It doesn't necessarily happen when washing the bike.

1190 dashes can suffer a little from misting. Not much, but KTM never fixed it in all the years that dash was used. IME KTM never actually fix anything, that's the customers job.
Went to look at the 790 on Saturday.
What a crap looking bike - won’t be getting one of those.
Tank wider than pegs, clocks misting up - KTM shite

I've got one of these for a couple of days..............
<a href="https://andressotoscastello.smugmug.com/UkGSer/n-5CFLKf/i-5DwBh2Q/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-5DwBh2Q/0/324586c6/XL/i-5DwBh2Q-XL.jpg" alt=""></a>
Initial (sketchy) impression after a massive 5 mile ride home, compared to my 1190R:
Steering/handling ~ surprisingly slower steering and more planted on the road. Quickly get used to it.
Riding position ~ Lovely, comfy and very low, imagine it'd be very confidence inspiring off road in gnarley stuff.
Brakes ~ Much more initial bite and feel just as powerful.
Engine ~ Lovely at chugging low down and will rev it's bollox off A bit anodyne and lacking in character though.
Suspension ~ Feels like a firm road bike, quite harsh and unsophisticated feeling and doesn't even come close to the plush ride and control of my bike.
I'll update once I've some proper miles on her.

Not ridden the standard bike but everybody says the suspension on the R is in a different league. Have fun .
I don't think the S suspension is rubbish by any means. But having ridden both, the R suspension is in a different league - when set up properly that is. It wasn't great when it left the shop but is easily tuned to suit preferences, whereas the S can't give you that.

850 looks crap as well

at least it is reliable

Once your hole is drilled, you insert an Allen key (4mm I think) up through the hole and unscrew the nut holding the baffle in shown here (screwed back in for safe keeping )
Then you simply pull out baffle through end of exhaust with pliers.My mate’s came straight out but mine was tight.To dislodge simply tap firmly with a hammer inwards ,using something a similar width to the baffle to dislodge it.Then it should pull out.
Does the baffle contain a spark arrestor screen within it? I ask because the picture of the muffler with the baffle removed doesn't appear to show any spark screen remaining. Or does the catalytic converter serve as the spark arrestor?

c.£4K?
At least
Nice though.

I bet that is a great bit of kit in the right hands.- but I wonder how many would ACTUALLY benefit from having it installed
Certainly not me !
