Love the mods on your bike. My '21 SMCR has some less mods due to legal restrictions here in Germany such as the Air Intake.

Still coming back to this channel every upload and shocked at the lack of growth, its deserved man. Keep at it 😆

Tailtiddy always first for any bike. This bike: Tailtiddy, intake(rotty), exhaust(arrow) headlight if riding at night, power commander, sas delete, header(tekmo). And trow in a skidplate somewhere in there aswell.

Ducati throttle spacers are a must. Fun to see I made the video 🤣 Now I’m off to find your exhaust video! 😋

Excellent video, love the graphics kit, that is a sweet looking nicely turned out SMC-R, and it hauls balls too, obviously. I have a '23 Husky 701 Enduro, also went the Rottweiler delete the O2 sensor and tuning via PC6 route and concur 100%, what a night and day difference. I live in CO but believe my '23 701 is Euro 5 because it was quite weak in stock form - off idle and roll on response is much better post Rottweiler lovin'. For example, it felt quite put upon below 50 MPH in 6th gear, post mods I can lug it down to 35 or so and it smoothly jets away. Now it is good for 35 to 115 MPH in 6th, that is a broad powerband! The enhanced off idle and low end chug is particularly welcome on the Enduro as it sees moderately difficult single track trails, and it can pull the tall stock gearing much better now while off road. I own a 300 XC and can't help myself, taking my 701 on a lot of the same stuff 😆 I have the Yoshimura RS-4 can on mine, it sounds great as well - not too bad when cruising to moderate throttle, pretty darn loud when the revs are up and the throttle is pinned. I agree about being able to hear the engine while riding at speed, it is useful as well as satisfying, and it is not annoying loud, but very "brappy" when ya get on it, which is not surprising - this is a 693cc single after all. Maybe not really needed as much on a street ridden bike, but a good mod for the Enduro models that see slower speeds on the trails is an 80/85C (185F) radiator fan switch. The stock switch activates very late at 215F. Between correct fueling and fan running more, my bike stays much cooler than stock. The stator has no problem running the fan a lot, especially because of my next mod, which saves a lot of juice, which is a Cyclops LED headlight bulb. The stock halogen bulb, as is typical for KTM, sucks ass. The suspension is XPLOR stuff, which is quite good, but the Enduro model comes with unbalanced spring rates, with .59 fork and .72 shock spring. I put 2 step stiffer .65 fork springs in my bike, it feels like it lost 30 pounds while riding off road as the forks stay up in the stroke way better. Also got rid of the locking OEM gas cap as it can ingest dirt on bikes that see off road, replaced it with a simple spin on unit that won't ingest dirt. I did a few other enduro specific mods - AXP skid plate, Outback MotorTek crash bars, wider footpegs, Tripleclamp Moto case covers. I swapped the heavy stock AGM battery for a Shorai lithium. I have a Super Tenere, that had the Shorai and they were the same size so I did a simple battery switcharoo. The Shorai cranks the big single very nicely and saves a lot of weight. My Super T is a big ol' whale anyway so whatever on a few extra pounds on that bike. This goes way back to my 1st KTM fuel injected bike, but I'm not a fan of KTM's fuel filtration. The in tank Mahle filter is 30 micron, then there is a tiny 20 micron cone shaped filter at the quick connect on the left side of the bike. I replaced the quick connect with a simple metal 11 micron NAPA 3095 in line filter. Been doing that mod for years on my injected KTM dirt bike, never had an injector issue. On my older injected KTM dirt bike I did away with the Mahle in tank filter altogether as it is a pain in the ass to change, and simply replace the external NAPA filter each season, will probably do the same with my 701 in a year or two. Make sure to check the valves early on, like other KTMs I've had, my 701's valves were tight at the 600 mile service. Now that they are bedded in and shimmed properly, I bet they hold their adjustment well - that has been my past experience with KTM anyway. KTM is more finicky than Japanese bikes, but Japan doesn't sell a 74 HP thumper either. One final interesting observation, more aimed at the Enduro model that sees real off road. These bikes don't have a lot of engine braking due to the ride by wire and that is good in most situations. When going down a steep and long hill in the Colorado high country and having to go to the brakes a ton, I leave the key on but turn the engine off via the handlebar switch. This is like activating the Jake Brake on a semi, yielding massive engine braking, which is just the thing when descending 2,000 feet on a steep mountain Jeep trail. Save the brakes from overheating and flip the switch as needed to control downhill speed.

Underrated channel!🙏🏽 keep up the great content man

Love the rottweiler intake!

Thanks man got my 23 690 smc r 3 months ago

Czy ten filtr powietrza R jest bardzo głośny? Samo zdjecie oryginalnej pokrywy z filtr box powoduję, że dźwięk jest bardzo ostry dla uszu przy ukladzie wydechowym akrap...

😎👍🇺🇲 Only had mine for a couple of days so im just getting to know it. Adjusted the rear brake lever this morning. I honestly can't believe someone rode this bike with the way it was adjusted. I literally had to pick foot completely off the peg and toe it like you would a car it was so high.😏 Otherwise all the mods have been done except a graffic kit of any kind. I just happy to have saved all that money. At least im getting it ridable for my style. Cheers from the PNW Seattle Raining State.

For the record it seems that Euro5 emissions models can't use any of the fuel mods except an ECU reflash (which voids the warranty). Of course word is they also fuel much better out of the box so...

Tell me more about this bag that you mounted in front of the airbox, please.

Broski, rade garage KTM 690 does have 7L storage I installed it on my smcr and I would recommend it to everyone.

hi, I'm an 18 year old boy and I would like to buy a new motorbike, in your opinion is the KTM 690 SMCR or Husqvarna 701 SuperMoto better?

why do you recommend purchasing a Tekmo header and extending the exhaust?

One mod I look for in all of my bikes, which isn't always available is a better headlight, preferably a LED or HID setup in the 5000 Kelvin range for night time riding.

Bro, I'm from Colombia, I would like to know what it's like to ride a motorcycle in the United States from your perspective. Your motorcycle is the one I want to have in the future. A big hug.

The first mod anyone should do after running in miles is change the front sprocket from a 16 tooth to a 15 tooth & fuel dongle, cheap and best improvement for investment. Just my input.

Whats the graphics kit on the bike at 0:10?

One question where did you get the decor from? Did you design it yourself, if so, I would love to have it, how did you do it?

I really like SMC but KTM in Asia doesn't have that much support. So any maintenance is higher than Japanese counterparts...

Nice

What are those mirrors?

What kind of mirrors do you have?

Ummm I think fuel dongle should be up there. Best bang for buck performance mod.

so no better performance but all bling . the rotweiler airfilter is not bringin performance at all , the bike can only use more air if it gets a map that gives it more petrol and these bikes are already running pretty lean . my advice for the best upgrades are ; radial brakepump for much better brakes and buy leathers and proper gloves

Protection: hand guards, engine guard, rally pegs. All of these are horrible stock. Good video.

Wow i haven't thought of it in a while but its crazy to think i got like 18K$ in this bike 😳. It hurts to say it a lil

broo 37 dollars for 2 plastic pieces? I printed those for like 2 cents

Nope i gotta disagree with the 1st one but i m guessing you can guess what ima say!!! NUMBER ONE! THAT TERRIBLE 2X4 THEY GIVE YOU TOO SIT ON!! Go seat concepts comfort XL!

You suggeating to spend 35$ on literally something I've done with scraps of used zip ties...

As a 690/701 owner with like 3k+ USD spent on mods... Throttle spacers are simply dumb, all you do is eliminate a safety feature on the bike... FMF exhaust is also a bad mod, since it's made for a 450 not a 700, it simply hasn't enough gas volume and backpressure (Tekmo headers offer zero improvement as well, confirmed by dyno)... Practically all the intake mods are useless as confirmed by dyno runs, funnily the stock airbox performs better than Rottweiler. From the FMF and intake mods the bike will run super lean which is really bad for the engine which already runs lean from the factory, so you have to spend more cash on an ECU reflash which voids the warranty. Plenty of crappy advice just for one video. ;)
