My new (To me) 1290 Super adventure

[Moose1]

Picked this up from a very nice chap in Northern Ireland last week.
One owner 2015 plate with 38,000 miles but was like new.





Came with a few nice extras and was fully serviced including new tyres and battery.

Just getting to know the bike at the moment but so far... loving it.

Any suggestions on Mods?

It has already has the following:

• Cyclops headlight conversion
• Headlight protector
• Wings exhaust (Now fitted )
• SW Motech Nav mount
• Givi Quick release pannier rails
• Givi Topbox plate
• Heated Ergo Seats
• Denali Sound bomb

Additionally, on the lookout for Givi or Kappa Trekker (Alaska or Outback) Panniers if anybody has these?

Cheers Mark

Very nice.
Friend of mine who had problems on two foreign trips with fuel filtration ( 2 recoveries) led me to Guglatech, went the whole hog on my 1190, and no problems thereafter (so far!)

Will check them out before next foreign trip

Did 18k on my 1190 and then had fuel filters changed at the big service, 10k on a 1090 and now at 15k on my 1290 - never any fuel filter issues, mate ran his 2013 1190 up to 70k on original filters.....

....I will still get mine changed at the 18k service as a precaution, and carry a spare set of 3rd party ones as an emergency measure.

Thanks all for the recommendations, especially regarding the fuel filter clogging etc. enjoying the bike even looking forward to the commute I use it for.

Appreciate it

I have a 2015 SA-T as well and it's a great bike on 28k miles - I know you'll enjoy yours.

Some mods I have:

• LED aux lights
• Evotech radiator guard
• Double take mirrors
• Puig double bubble black windscreen + MRA screen spoiler

The cyclops headlight conversion is brilliant (I have them).

My end can is an Arrow & it's superb.

Nice! How did you wire in the aux lights? Hex ezcan or similar?

Dead easy - the dealer did it prior to my collecting it

I bought the OEM ones & whilst expensive, they're superb.

I have a Heed GPS mount for the SA that you can have for the price of postage

There are a couple of live feeds behind the headlight - one switched, and one constant.

I do like these bikes - I just couldn’t get the screen setup right on mine.

I may go the Hex route, still getting used to it.

Screen was good on first ride back from picking upbut I may need to get an MRA spoiler to deflect the top portion.
