Adventures in Motorcycle Touring
In this episode of Back in the Garage I show you how to install a new skid plate on your KTM 790/890 ADV bike. I upgraded the stock skid plate to an Enduro Engineering Skid Plate. This particular video I show how to install one on a 2021 KTM 890 ADV R but the process will be nearly the same on other KTM 790 and 890 bikes as well as the Husqvarna Norden 901.

My 4 year old buddy Kace and I did a 5 lap race. He on his Yamaha PW50 and me on my Honda CRF100. It won’t be long until he’s faster than me.
