Hi,

After a 530km ride yesterday I discovered this morning that something is leaking at the front of the engine and dripping down from the skid plate near the side stand...

I think it's oil but not 100% sure. Coolant and oil levels are both fine...

I'll be taking it back to the dealer tomorrow for them to check it but I'd appreciate any suggestions so I'm prepared...

Thanks!

Interested to know what the dealer comes up with. Following...

Best take it back to dealer to check, as it looks quite a bit of a leak.

Back from the dealer... They checked it through and the leak appears to be coolant coming from the thermostat. So they've now ordered one which will come in the next two weeks or so. Until then I can still ride it just need to keep an eye on coolant levels.

They said this used to be a relatively common issue in the KTM 790 Adventure but should have been resolved by now so I guess I was just unlucky.

Hope the new thermostat sorts it then and that's all it was... Fingers crossed 🤞

Hallo
Yes. The same thing that happened to me. "Normal" in 790/890/901. Check the shock absorber. Another "normal" fault on Norden

Thanks @RoadToNorden
I've been keeping an eye on the rear shock already since I got it... So far all dry... Hope it stays that way
