The KTM 1290 Super Adventure uses H11 bulbs for both high beam and low beam headlight applications, with this bulb size remaining consistent across the model line. The replacement chart covers 2015 to 2016 production years and documents the headlight bulb specifications for these model years.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H11 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12 volts and 55 watts, fitted with a PGJ19-2 base. Single-filament construction means the bulb handles only one lighting function, which is why separate H11 units are used for both the high beam and low beam positions in the KTM 1290 Super Adventure.
The H11 bulb follows the ECE standard, a regulatory framework recognized across Europe and much of the world. It also carries approval for use in the United States, making it a widely available bulb type across major markets.
The KTM 1290 Super Adventure uses the H11 bulb in both the high beam and low beam headlight positions for the 2015-2016 model years.
Because the high beam and low beam positions share the same H11 specification, both sockets accept the same bulb type. However, the two positions remain distinct housings and are not interchangeable with each other as installed units, even though the bulb itself is identical.
The PGJ19-2 base is the physical connector that locks the H11 into its socket. Bulbs with a different base designation are not compatible with H11 sockets, regardless of voltage or wattage ratings.
