Brillaint Video. Very useful and transparent about the fuckery 🤣. Dreading when I’ll have to do mie , starting to rattle at low gear high revs. How often do you replace?
Hi. Are you still using the bike with the fuel dongle? Could you please measure the resistance of both resistors it includes? Can not get it from any factory delivering to my country (. So can make it myself easily then. They say the required values are 1M Om and 300 Om. But I am not sure if it just to replace the o2 sensor to trick the ecu or it will change AFR at the bottom as well. Thanks
It can be found somewhere around the battery/ecu. You should be able to lift the ecu out without disconnecting it. It could be pushed down the side of somewhere. If you have a newer than 2022 bike, they may have changed it (I sold mine and haven't kept up to date with them). Hope this helps.
I couldn't start my 2019 701E after winter storage. And this tiny filter was the issue! My problem got resolved 1h ago. @Twedymoto , than you for this helpful video, man.
I checked my filter in line,was ok,getting a prob with popping on decellaration,and holding back,checked the psi coming from the pump,it was like 47 psi each time i checked,5 times.i changed my plugs,cleaned in the plug caps,were really nasty,put everything up,still same sputtering an popping on decelaration,any ideas? Didnt check my in tank filters becuase i was getting the correct psi,what you think?
I honestly can't remember, but I done it twice while I had it and it was about 4,00 miles between each one. I did ride pretty hard all the time with no baffle and that's supposedly very hard on the packing.
Sounds amazing mate, what exhaust is it please? I’ve just bought a 22plate 701 supermoto amd pick it up Monday 🌝 It has that bloody awful standard thing on 🤮
I just bought this bike and wanted to upgrade to a brembo radial rc15 pump , now i find out its too big to use because the fender thingy wont fit aswell as the fender is bolted in the original brake pump
To put it on a handlebar, you could take the crude approach and use a P clip around the bar amd use the little nut on the switch to close the clip. Not sure how else to do it
I see some riders access the fuel filter without removing lower tank bolt and swinging it up. Do you know if it's possible to replace filter without swinging tank up? Thanks.
Interesting about the intake noise with the Rottweiler system. The stock airbox and snorkel are designed that way to keep noise down. I know it can make more power with the full intake replacement, but it has plenty already with Rottweiler's mapped PC6 and a Yosh can. Intake noise is generally a flapping "bicycle cards in the spokes" sound and it is ugly. Revs up and on the cam it can sound cool, but it is just too much. Too bad the stock airbox is a bit of a pain in the ass to re-install after removing. Taking the battery out is a must when dealing with the stock airbox for sure. Speaking of the Yosh, it has a spark arrestor insert which probably helps noise a little. It is a long can, extending to below the turn signal, which is good as it can't melt it. The Yosh is a straight through with no DB killer in the cap, so it is loud when you romp on it. A near 700cc cylinder is going to make some noise. I also have a Super Tenere with a Yosh slip on, it is not nearly as loud despite the can being shorter. I figure it is because my Super T still has the catalytic converter in it. The honeycomb of the CAT kills a lot of noise. I wear ear plugs when I ride, no real bother, but I try to be respectful when riding around pedestrians and such. It is still quieter than a straight pipe Harley and we have lots of those here in the US 😆
Thanks for the video! I am a "KTM fuel injection Beta Tester pioneer" as I own a '10 Husaberg FE450, which had injection before the KTM line did and of course being nothing more than a very confused KTM, my 'Berg (as was very common with them) had fuel pump issues. A Cycleworks pump was/is the hot ticket for those bikes. The in tank guts of your 690 look the exact same as my 13 year old Husaberg, which makes me wonder if KTM has learned anything at all since then 😄 The Cycleworks pump is not prone to polluting the fuel filter with black stuff, and it has proven to be stone reliable in my 450. I may proactively get a Cycleworks for my 701 and keep my new low mileage OEM pump as a spare. I elected to delete the in tank Mahle fuel filter on my old 450, and am running an external 10 micron Wix metal canister filter that I replace annually. Replacing the external filter on the old 'Berg with it's funky 70 degree engine layout is super easy, takes 10 minutes, tops. Have had no fuel system issues since tossing the failed OEM pump into the garbage can and doing the external filter modification on my old Husaberg. Actually, that bike has been completely reliable since the initial fuel pump issue was addressed. I wonder if there is enough room to do a similar external fuel filter mod for my 701. For sure a slim Golan filter would work, but I would want to use the not big but bigger (and cheaper) Wix filter if the in tank Mahle filter is removed. It looks like there may be enough room if I plan it out right. That is the good thing about Winter - it is a good time to fuss around with the bike! Will probably see if I can get a Wix filter in at or near the quick connect area, and leave the stock in tank one in place for a season or two, then do the bypass mod. The fewer times one has to unscrew those self tapping fuel pump base plate mounting into plastic screws the better...
I must’ve watched hours and hours of motorbikes reviews on RU-vid but this is the most objective, well presented review I’ve ever watched. King regards from Barcelona!
Taking a plug out makes it easier to get to tdc so that you're not fighting the compression of the engine. I was replacing mine anyway so that's why I had them out. 👍
I'm not sure pal. Some have tried and it worked OK and others it didn't work for. Not sure if it's the ecu or whether they had poor readers. If you have a friend with a code reader, maybe try it before you buy one. 👍
