PSA: If your KTM 790/890 cruise control randomly stops working, try this before tearing into the bike
I've seen a few people mention intermittent cruise control issues on the KTM 790/890 platform, so I figured I'd share something I recently came across. The symptom is pretty specific: Cruise control works perfectly. You stop for fuel, food, or a quick break. Start the bike again a few minutes later. Suddenly cruise control won't engage. According to a post from a KTM Adventure owner, the culprit can be something as simple as a slightly dirty ABS sensor. The suggested fix is surprisingly easy: **Find a safe location and perform a firm brake application.** Apparently this can clear the issue immediately and get cruise control working again. It makes sense since cruise control relies on wheel speed data, and an ABS sensor that's giving marginal readings could prevent the system from engaging. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this on a 790 or 890: Did a hard brake application restore cruise control? Did cleaning the ABS sensor permanently solve it? Were there any fault codes stored? Would be great to hear if this is a known KTM quirk or just a workaround that happens to work for some bikes. Obviously, test this safely and don't go out hammering the brakes in traffic.
