The display is minimalistic for experienced riders CC, mph/km, hours/miles, check engine and low fuel, you should already know your RPM and gear by sound and feel without having to think about it! If you want display heaven buy a "24 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R, it has a big screen TV mounted right to the bars stock! lol

Best to order your fuel pump, clutch plates , barrings, and filters to have at home for quick fix/ maintenance. Sucks to be waiting on simple parts to be avaliable or shipped to the US

Congrats on your new bike cruza! I really thought you'd bite the bullet an grab an adventure bike but excited to see what you do with it regardless of if you outfit it for long rides or not. Keep it up with your videos man, you're of the most entertaining on yt and tell it how it is

I hope you keep this one for a long time CycleCruza, I’ve had my eye on one of these for quite awhile but I wasn’t sure about the long term reliability of them. Thanks for the upload and please keep us updated!

Do a slip on mainly to get rid of the heat coming off that stock exhaust. Then first try a fueling dongle instead of tearing into the whole bike. The fueling dongle will smooth out the throttle response and give you a nice little bump at lower rpm’s. Don’t freak out if the check engine light comes on after a few miles. It will eventually go back off after a few cycles. Been very happy with that mod on my 690 Enduro R for the last year or so.

ohio KTM fan boy here, good luck with the build brother, just finished my 24 500 EXCF supermoto build. she RIPS. cant wait to see how the 690 shapes up

I’m excited you bought one of these. I bought the 23 at the end of the year and just went over 300 miles cuz winter and all. Still getting used to it but it is so much fun on the twisties. Can’t wait to see what you do with it🤙

The more mods the better the reliability 😂 just kidding , KTMs are solid man,! I've had 2 of them and nothing but solid. No issues and I ride the shit outa my 450 exc-r ! In your case , I will say keep a fuel pump or two on hand and especially if you go any distance. Don't get stranded Cycle Cruza 😊

Hey man, that does not look like a Hypermotard 698, you said you are going to buy the Ducati :P

Def gotta get the CUMPAN display, and Rotty mods!! Wish you lived closer to MD i'd let you hop on mine and tryout all the mods lol!! Also your TC is ON in these videos which I am pretty sure limits the wheelies, or at least I think it does on 2023 (which is what mine is)!

To fix the rear gas tank safety issue (possible leaking after looping) We replace the filler cap assembly with one from Vanasche Racing. It's billet aluminum. Also the absolute best crash bars are from T Rex industries. Crash bars with their own little crash guards. They make them in orange.

Well man, one of the best reasons for that aftermarket exhaust. Weight loss. I would wait a bit, it would probably void warranty. Love it though, change those couple things you don’t like. Look forward to exhaust and tune.

I didn't hear you mention 'break in miles' but since I haven't bought a brand new bike since the 80's, what's the recommended break-in mileage? Either way, perhaps wait and see how everything does for a span before thinking about mods, especially if warranty is important. Great vid!

325lbs is indeed the dry weight. I've seen it listed as the dry weight in many places, including their own website. Not sure how that google search came up saying it was the wet weight.

I heard that a little Xtra weight is good on the high way/freeway , they say when you ride past big semi trucks the wind doesn't blow it around as much as the lighter bike.

Nothing like competition to bring forth innovation!

Get the Rottweiler QUICK FLIP MIRROR MOUNT KIT (ARROW KIT) and the arrow mirrors. I bought them for my smcr and love them.

I agree with you about the headlight.. it should be something like the Duke.

I ordered and installed the wings exhaust from their website. It comes with two different inserts, has carbon fiber and has been amazing. Also the the carbon fiber heat shield.

Once you get the cosmetics and mirror stuff taken care of, you will like it even more. I was on the fence when I got mine. After I got it lowered, a new seat, cosmetics, and initial mods done, I am really liking it. I'm in Ohio too. Not too many good riding days yet.

CycleCruza, I’ve had 3 KTMS: 390 Adventure, 350 EXC-F, 500 EXC-F. I’ve modded every single one and have not had any problems. Maybe I’m lucky, but all have been fine. 2/3 have been purchased brand new and I built them to use. I used the shit out of them. The 500 EXC-F was just insane: Vortex ECU and all bolt on you would want to accommodate it. Not unit that but suspension and stuff to make it look pretty. So fast and I never had one issue. My next bike I wanted was one one these. I’m glad to see you get one and eager to watch your future reviews. You da man!

Check your foot shifter lever/rear brake lever screws before every ride.. vibration from that 690 likes to wiggle everything loose.

Dang CycleCruza, you should have just waited till 2025 for the release of the brand new Suzuki RM600 SM, look it up.

Congrats on the new bike!! If you compare it to cars it'd be a stock Mustang but the YZ is like NASCAR LOL!

That display may as well be made by Casio. Lol

You can update the dash with the Cumpan dash. It adds, tach, gear indicator, temperatures etc and is pretty reasonably priced.

I love the zeta hand guards

Whats the break in procedure on the KTM?

Kickstart only BABY!!!!

Order a set of throttle spacers. Way to much slop in the throttle. Well worth the $30

could you do a review of your airbag vest

Hey, I’m looking for advice, me and myself, I own 690 and am wondering if the mirrors are removable because I have my own to place in any advice?

CC check out Rade Garage for their Carbon Rally Tower and their airbox/filter with the under seat storage tray! Looks/works great on my 2021 SMC R. 👍🏻💯🌶️

dude , great video , i just got a ktm 690 , i have 300 miles on it , i did a wings slip on and rear tag and light kit and new seat and new wider pegs, new grips and new mirrors . i think the bike needs more balls on the low end , im still at break in , but who knows , and yes your yam 450 has too much balls to be a super motor , im not going there , thats crazy

I agree with you. It’s a nice bike, but the prices too damn high.

I was never sure about KTM reliability since I've been a Yamaha hardliner most of my years riding but I've been flogging the shit out of a 1290 for the last 2 years and at 30k miles the only thing i had go wrong was a dirty fuel filter and I probably need to do fork oil sooner than later and i still use it tour around on but I'm also gonna pick up a goldwing for the even longer trips I'll be taking

idk if u already bought a set of shinko 705's but maybe try getting a more street focused adv tire like the Dunlop Mutants

I prefer Halogen bulbs over LED on my motorcycle. At night the white/bluish look doesn't cut through those dark areas. I love my OSRAM bulbs.

That thing looks amazing Awesome bike

Ktm measures wet weight without fuel for some reason. Only include oil, coolant, and brake fluid. Again look into that fuel controller made by someone on the forums, it MAY not void warranty.

Have you had it on the highway yet? Unfortunately nothing but highways where I live

Just a little heads up cc, the new Indian scout was just unveiled and it is amazing!!!! Trade the KTM ASAP, and be the first to navigate within this legend of a motorcycle.

No way in hell you are going to be touring on a super moto.

Had the 690sm with the huge pipes but when i put the Van Demon pipe and a DNA air filter but had lot of issues,stick to MT07 🎭

What prevented me from getting this bike is that you really need to remove all restrictions to get the bike you wanted. At that point, yes it is still a much more solidly built engine than the EXCF's, but warranty is still voided and the EXCF's are also quite good, so it is basically a heavy and more reliable EXCF. BUT a lot more powerful due to higher CC

Got all the mods, bike runs perfect, no problems , over 5000 miles. Good fuel and fresh, quality oil every 2000 miles (diy) Didn’t touch it until run in service was done (700miles)

Take your time to learn to ride it in stock trim to your and the bike's max ability. Then decide what mods would allow more control or enjoyment.

I had my husky 701sm stolen recently. Be careful. These bikes are very sought after by theifs

Definitely wait under your warranty ends to do any mods

I notice that you are not using the quick shifter, why?

That KTM 690 you have is a Monster, hooligan bike!!!! Super Moto is a class of bikes meant for balls to the wall sh!t Wheelies/Stopies . It’s OK cycle cruiser , Clutching the bike up into a wheelie takes time to learn. Having that YZ 450 is a no effort bike. But It takes skill to stunt like a PRO Keep up the good work

you must switch off the tc, if you want to do some wheelies.

You need to mods to get rid of all the weight. I'd rather have that YZ weighing so much less. Get on a trackday with either of them, sumo are really fast on small tracks.

In 2022 I attempted a YZ450FX Supermoto Build. I got it headlights, signals and brake lights, horn and plated but could never get the batteries to hold power. It would die during the ride and not restart. I gave up and sold it and later found out I needed a bigger stator. I ended up replacing that bike with a rebuilt 2003 Honda XR650L. With a lightened flywheel it’s a fun bike. Similar in size but maybe a little lighter than the KTM 690. I’m happy with it and still saving to supermoto it. It’s a Big Red Pig.

How does she shift though Cyclcrzr? Over @ Spite’s chanel, he said his was annoying how the shift feel was

How is the Kawasaki KLX 300 supermoto? Have you tried that one?

Keep the MT 07 this will probably cost when the maintenance and spares start coming in

Is it easy to find neutral on the bike. I know the KTM dirt bikes this is an issue.

Got my yamaha DT 175 2010 2 months ago. What a blast!

Hey bro there is a guy named Alex the car Doctor that sounds just like you I thought he was you for sure

I didn't even watch the video yet but I got yer five. 1 it rocks 2 it doesn't suck 3 orange 4 fast (hate that) 5 homeruns are for suckers Ok now I watch the video. How did I do?

You got a great deal on that bike man!!

Ayo no way so sick

Bro? Did you say Bamboozled? 😅

please tell me where u got this bike for 10,999?

If there isn’t a chance of me catching fire? I don’t wanna do it.

Are you using quick shifter

You need to turn off TC if you want the full power. its going to hold back a little.

I told you in the last video you wouldn't like the display! 😆 Did you find the hidden tool pouch?

I know it's all subjective CC but I had a 690 Enduro and was never impressed with the power myself and the seat height was ridiculous and I am 6'2".... Don't get me going on the uncomfortable seat ! Lol... Had buyers remorse and ended up selling it.

Not doing wheelies on a KTM 690 is a crime 😄 2019 seat sponge is worst then the 2024.

yeah, screw that, I built one, with all the Rottwiler and PC everything, cost me 17,000 dollars, exhaust, etc, could of bought a MT-10 for the price and be way faster. My only complaint, was the gears suck and you will never find nuetral at a red light....Buy a MT-10 instead, trust me....

Hahaha idk man you don’t sound in love with it like you’re with your other bikes

Wings tailpipe (titanium/carbon, no cat) & Lithium battery will knock a good 20lb off alone

CC, I might be imagining it, but I hear some regret in your tone. You just love that YZF too much. You’ve already had The Best, so it’s hard to love the rest…. Ride on. 🤘🏻

I see why you got it. It's looks cooler than the 450.

Trust me, you wanna do it on the cheap lithium battery slip on Up 1 the back and down one in the front sprocket!!and a $39 fuel dongle you’ll save 20 pounds and get all the grunt you ever dreamed of

Just change the front sprocket. It’s less then 100$ and you’ll get way more then all the other mods

I first guess without watching that you are going to complain about the weight of the bike. 😂

I'm sorry, but the fact you think paying 15k for a supermoto is a deal is massive copium. In no way is any supermoto worth 15k. 10k tops.

Or wait for the 2025 NEW YAMAHA MT-09 DIRTIEST SONS BAJA ANNOUNCED!!

If this is a brand new 690, it's still restricted until you break it in and they release break in restrictions

Remember that bike has a quick shifter. Just hold open the throttle and slap up the gears. No clutch. It feels even quicker when ridden like that.

Get the Honda XR 150l and see if you can manhandle the 12 horsepower that's what I'm getting😊😊😊...

Change the gearing man, your beginner level knowledge really shows.

That horeshack laugh gets me everytime bro.

I ride a cbr1000rr and am kinda bored of it going fast isint all that I just want a sumo so bad 😂

Should've gotten the 701

A ktm..... man since he got busted 4-5 years ago, they had his eyes on him e scooter arc 🤣💨💨💨
