When you see all the 💩 those screens catch, you’ll wish they had 2 more. On a new bike of course. The screens with magnets and filter is a smart design, labor intensive but smart.

its a gift that every KTM owner keeps on giving, to the KTM corp.

I guess that’s how they manage 6000 oil changes instead of every 20-25 hours….

​@@PaleriderGBRnah they did the same shit in the 640 lc4

Exactly. Thanks Man.

Thanks for your kind words :)

One of various reasons I just bought a 2017. The color way, the gauge I love alot more than the new ones and of course I got it for 7000 bucks 1 owner compared to 12 grand for new

You hit the spot. I am nobody. But at least I have the humility to do things as stated by the manufacturer. Those who do differently on the basis of personal evaluations have little understanding of what objectivity is if they think they know more than the constructor. Thanks Man

you're welcome :)

Thanks a lot ;)

Thanks!

Yep ;)

Ur welcome!

PRO like it tooo

I had issue since the first oil change but they do it on warranty so🥲🤣

He bought the KTM tool kit, a rebadged kit with a 40% markup bc it says KTM. You can’t tell him anything 😂 Meanwhile, you are correct.

So the minimum requirement for the oil / oil filter change is the 2 filter? And washer / o ring? only the one who has visible damage? Also the copper washer? Last thing, usually how long the o ring last?

Thanks for the feedback. I totally agree, there are actually many ways to save money. Just doing this whole thing yourself saves a lot :)

Thank you. Nessun prodotto particolare: spugna, acqua e sapone (prima tanta acqua), il più delle volte con solo l'utilizzo di un panno bagnato e poi asciugata (sempre e solo con panni in microfibra). Alla fine il segreto è che viene pulita molto spesso, tutto qui 👍🏻

Thank you! it's very simple: I don't use particular products. I clean the wheels with a car shampoo, everything else with microfibre cloths simply wet with water. I often clean it :)

Hmm.. I'm not sure I understand your question, but I don't think so. The procedure to follow is the one indicated in the use and maintenance book (corresponds to what is done in the video)

What you say is true. I put this oil in because in the official KTM store they told me that KTM has changed the guidelines. Although this oil still meets the specifications. You are totally right :)

So KTM doesn’t care which one you use. I guess it doesn’t matter what Motorex says. If KTM doesn’t care then neither do I. Thanks for the info.

1000km, but is written in your bike book. Thank you

​@@torquemasters97który to był rok produkcji tego smcr?

@@marcinkmiecik3058 2017 :)

@@torquemasters97 Dziękuję. A czy model 2016 i 2017 miał rozrząd ohc czy dohc?

@@marcinkmiecik3058 Anyway I was wrong: this is the 2017 model (sohc) :)

Given that I recommend using the one indicated by the manufacturer, I think one of the differences is the intended use of the vehicle. If it is an engine that works at lower revs, or if it works at higher revs and many other specifications.

@@torquemasters97 Just had a chat with a KTM technician - he recommends Motul 7100 as the many engines he serviced this one the most stable. He doesn't recommend Motorex though.

You can do it without the rear stand, however I advise you to remove the engine guard to work more comfortably :)

Thank you man! I have to be honest: it's a serious mistake..

​@@torquemasters97 I was rushing to get it done because i wanted to go out riding, typical me forgetting stuff like that. I suppose i should get them on asap?

@@runnix2331 Yeah man you should do it as soon as possible..

No, non è assolutamente necessario: lo dicono in molti ma sulla base del nulla. Se uno lo vuole fare lo fa, ma non farà comunque alcuna differenza. Bisogna sempre seguire il libro di uso e manutenzione del veicolo: se fosse davvero una cosa da fare o avesse una qualche rilevanza allora sarebbe scritta lì.

If you don't lose oil, you don't have to worry. Just remember to do it next time 👍🏻

Hello my friend. Meanwhile, I inform you that in 2018 the production of the SMC has been suspended by KTM: so are you talking about the 2019 version, or the 2016 version like the one you see in the video that coincides with the 2017 version?

@@torquemasters97 I would like to know if it is possible to put in the 2020 model (or in the Husqvarna 701 SM 2020), the display of the 2016-2017 model to see the RPM the engine is going to. Thank you

Sorry for the previous precision but my attention to detail is fundamental to understand deeply and if possible provide a solution. In this case, honestly, I never saw or heard of someone who did it. I am aware of cases where the rev counter and the display of the 2016 version have been replaced with the display of the Duke 690. Having said that, unfortunately I am not aware of specific real cases of what you are asking me. I can tell you I'm not absolutely sure what I'm saying but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a good chance of doing it. But I want to emphasize the difficulty linked to the limit of the physical space, which on the 701 does not exist for such a large lap counter (associated with the display). So I think that most likely from the point of view of physical spaces, there are major changes to be made (admitted and granted that it is possible to successfully connect and interface the components). In this regard, to be sure you should ask a mechanic / engineer or other competent people who know the components of both thoroughly to make a final decision. I hope I have been at least minimally helpful with this answer.

@@torquemasters97 Thank you very much, in the end I will have to switch to ear rather than to see the RPM.

@@SuT4G4Racing Personally if I were in your situation I would do exactly that. Have a nice day!

@@dylkelley what about any part modifications???? my dealership told me adding an exhaust, or air intake also doesnt void the warranty... is this true??? cause while waiting for the air intake, i drilled holes in the top portion of the intake so it can breath better, which ive had a noticable difference in throttle response

Ktm 690 don't have the hours thing, the oil and oil filter have to be' changed every 10000 km

@@manuelgerrato5159 No, way earlier

@@hoineenietjij3331 you can do it between 5000 km and 10000 km but every 10000 km it's pretty realistic

@@manuelgerrato5159 Yea i see, you are right i have searched it. Pretty impressive for a supermoto. The most supermotos need a oil change every 1000 km and a full rebould after 5 to 6000 (about 50 hours). This thing can go up to 60000 bevore a rebuild.

@@hoineenietjij3331 yeah it's really an impressive supermoto bro

Sorry man, this is one of the reasons why it is preferable to use torque wrenches. If you do not have them, to become aware of the force you apply, you could pick up the key near the point of application of the force. It would allow you to better modulate the force applied and avoid applying too much. Have a nice day!

Every year or every 10.000km :)

Sorry, what do you mean with "Dash"?

You’re speedometer

@@jeriksmith7014 It's original. I think KTM removed it after the 2017 SMC model.

There are many reasons but the upstream reason that justifies their presence is the fact that the engine, to be built around the concept of low weight combined with the fact that it is a single cylinder, forces the engineers to resort to alternative solutions other than those adopted on the classic four, two cylinder engines etc. With this type of solution it is possible to respect the objective of "little weight" but obviously the life of the engine will be considerably reduced.

joys of a huge thumper ;)

​@@torquemasters97 does the washer for the drain plug need to be replaced after first oil change, or can i clean and reuse??? im at 700 and im gonna change it, and the guys at my local bike shop just recommended oil, filters, and O rings, even though i wanted to go with manufacturer. i know the screens can be cleaned and reused just till i do another change somewhere around 2-2500 miles. i dont ride it that hard. never hit rev limiter, let alone full throttle, i get maybe near 6K rpm tops, and all millage is 85% highway miles. EDIT - im also riding the 2021 husqvarna 701 sm, all miles so far are highway with a little town, and a couple trips in mountain roads

@@camilleliford The rule would be to change it (the manufacturer declares it). My opinion is that it depends on what you have to do. For example, I always change it personally, but you can also check the state of wear and decide whether to change it or not. I always change it and keep all payment receipts so that if I have to sell it, I can prove to the buyer that I did everything perfectly. However, in the meantime, I suggest you buy it individually, then compare them and decide what to do. If you don't use it, it will stay for next time.

This is not a new bike

@@Frajmando newer than my 09

@@Frajmando Exactly, this bike is from 2017 but it is kept very well, I don't know what type of solutions they adopt for the new one.

I bought the 2019 new. Now done 2600 miles. Changed oil and no swarf on the magnet.

LOL 😅

True, it can also be done like this. Also because not everyone has a seeger plier at home 👍🏻

​@@torquemasters97 Other people have told me a dental/mechanics pick will pull it out from the outer edge, or possibly a magnet but I doubt that one.

I just hammer a thin flat screwdriver in. Put the screwdriver at an angle and pull. Very easy with easy tools.

Here you are. As usual I can't go to sleep without the expert who comes to make the usual statement: fill the oil filters before inserting them. I'll tell you one thing: you made a mistake. Filters do not necessarily have to be filled. If it were a fundamental thing it should be written in the use and maintenance book. Now tell me: do I have to listen Mattighofen's engineers or do I have to do as a guy says on KZfaq (you)? What you see is what KTM suggests to do, and not what I suggest. So those who want to fill the oil filters are free to do so, but you can very well avoid doing without being afraid of any damage. I emphasize it: if it were a relevant thing KTM would have written it in the use and maintenance manual. Why do you think KTM didn't write it?

@@torquemasters97 Because they're sloppy, which is why the warranty on a Husky is double as long as the warranty for a KTM!🕊

@@ernier9033 In Italy both KTM and Husqvarna have a 24 months warranty. Is it different where you live?

@@crazyRyoga Yes, in Sweden Huskvarna give 2 years’ warranty while KTM only give one year. Honda give 5 years. I don’t know who decides this.🕊️

@@ernier9033 Mmhhh, on the official KTM website, by selecting Sweden, it still says 24 months. I don't think they will write that if it wasn't true. Maybe it was 1 year some time ago and they changed it?

Hahaha sorry man u are right. In the title I wrote 10 because the video Is that long, in reality I made all the work in about 2 hours xD

People often have their ears open to what "others" say on KZfaq or the Internet in general. The procedure that must be followed in this case (and it is the procedure that we report in the video) is stated by the manufacturer in the vehicle use and maintenance book. People are free to do as the manufacturer says, or do as "someone" says on the internet.

Fine if you want to change half the oil 😂

@@330timunson5 Kiddo..

Doing it without going to a mechanic already has its economic advantages. But if you want to save further you could for example buy a cheaper oil than the one we used (25 € \ l). There are oils for 13 € \ l. Another way to save is to skip the oil and filter change, but I don't recommend it, especially on this bike.

What would you like?

Consider that this isn't the first oil change, it's just a regular oil change :)

The case concerning this specific bike is particular but generally for most supermotos it is worse from the point of view of the frequency of these works, the general maintenance and its costs.

Lol, thats true but my video is about 10 minutes xD

With all due respect: bullshits. First of all, you haven't read the video directions from the beginning. Second: putting oil in the filters is absolutely not necessary.
