Just picked up my 790 Saturday. Fun bike. Brakes seem a little weak, but maybe they just need to bed in. KTM's seem to be breeding in my garage. I already
have a Super Duke Gt and an 690 Enduro.

How many miles?
I would give it at least 50 miles on new pads discs
however I always found my 790 brakes required more effort than I liked so I moded my 790 and fitted a 1290SD Brembo master cylinder
Hi Cole,
I found the brakes had a slight lag from the demo and on getting my 790.
I changed the front pads to EBC EPFA244HH pads and it has improved significantly, with good instant response.
I have about 70 miles on the bike. Hopefully by 100 miles the brakes pads will be bedded in. Do seem a little better. Next step may be Vesrah pads. They work great on my race bikes. May be a while before I put on more miles. Turned cold here in north Georgia. 21 degrees this morning.
