On road, a lot of sand, some small trail, and a lot of thin snow over sand. I change my oil when it starts to look darker Sometimes 15 hours, sometimes 25. Depends how you ride. I should add, I was a honda mechanic for over a year before now I'm a diesel mechanic. Just use high quality oil, grease the bearings/ bushings, and don't slip the clutch.
Hello fellow 690/701 enjoyers! This is my first season with my new SMCR 690. After looking extensively at the manual and online, I can’t seem to find a clear answer to when I should be changing motor oil, just the generic 10,000km service interval which I’m guessing is where the bike needs to be broken down for valve adjustment, etc.
Open the engine turning bolt cover with a coin or a fat screwdriver. 4. Remove the 4 valve cover screws. 5. Wiggle the valve cover out of the frame. 6. Use the engine turning bolt with a large socket to set the engine to TDC. 7. Do the valve work (measure using feeler gauges, remove rocker arms if adjustment is needed)
Overall, the KTM 890 Adventure, like other KTM 890 motorcycles, has 9300 mile / 15000 km or annual service intervals. At every service, change the oil and filter, and do a host of checks. The major service for the 890 motor is every 18600 miles or 30000 km, at which point you check the valve clearances and change the spark plugs.
Just a quick video on how to access the service interval menu and reset your service light without taking it to dealer

#1 · Apr 3, 2017 I've done a search and then read the three page oil thread, which left me with the same conclusion I had before reading it - which is as long as the oil meets the specs recommended then it's all good I couldn't find much on people's oil changing habits/frequency!?
My question is regarding its oil change interval. Both KTM riders and KTM importer recommend changing engine oil of 690 every thousand km or at least every 2,000 km while the manual suggests changing it every 10,000km after first service at first 1,000km.
