    What year is your 690 John? I’ve read many places where this procedure only works on pre-2014 models. In the TuneECU Android app, there are ECU tests and programming functions applicable to pre-2014 models. ECU and TPS resets are very limited on >2014 690 models. I bring this up only because procedures like what you describe coincide with what 690 owners describe on the TuneECU forums. Any comment?

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      2018. Never even heard of TuneECU until now. It’s likely an environment adaptation more than a “reset.” People think it’ll “reprogram” after doing mods or putting a pipe on, or cam in or something. Not going to happen. Honestly don’t even remember what I said in this video, but I know I used to do it when I spent time up on the mountain and it seemed to help. The corresponding video with the throttle reset is a must know. I’ve used that a bunch of times!!! Practically critical if you ever have to bump start on a stone dead battery. Only works on the ride by wire bikes which is probably 14+.

    • @johns2860
      @johns2860 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ Thanks for the reply. Mine’s 2017 with Rottweiler intake, canister delete, PC5 with O2 sensor removed/plugged and Wings open exhaust. Rottweiler provided excellent PC5 maps. TuneECU is a semi-handy app that works in conjunction with a quality OBD2 dongle and port adapter but seems to have more usability on pre-2014 690s. My 2017 developed issues with jerky power delivery and missing while idle. Turns out the problem was the fuel pump going bad and kind of disguised itself as an electrical issue. I’ll keep your procedures in mind. Thanks again.

    Hello, I have a 701 enduro 2021. What are the benefits of such a maneuver ? My motorcycle makes a strange electrical noise when stopping and this noise is amplified if I carry out your manipulation. Edit : im asking for the throttle reset, not the ecu.

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The throttle reset just resets the activation point of the throttle. Sometimes it gets a little off and will run a little rough. Just takes 30 seconds and can help a bunch. Bump start after the battery has totally died and it will instantly make sense. Might barely make it home if you don't do it.

      Realistically in ridable form, prob right at about 260? They’ve got about 30lbs on a MX bike. Power is much softer. They like to be ridden like Jett Lawrence or Kenny is on it. Just click up a gear and let the nice soft power and soft suspension float you over the bumps. This video was my buddies bike. I was riding 250Fs back then My 450EXC is in some of my newer videos. And if you want it to handle more like an MX bike, put a 110 tire on the rear so it can steer with the rear. When the tire gets fatter it pushes the front. Like when we were forced to switch to 4T from 2T MX bikes… Very heavy front end feel in comparison, then add the engine breaking to that 🥴 Why I stuck to 250F for longer. I F-ing HATED my 450 until I figured that trick out.

This bike is an awesome true adventure bike that will allow the rider to go on a multi day adventure and ride in a wider variety of territory than the large adventure bikes.

    Thanks for sharing, learned a lot. Thinking of maybe giving the 690/701 a chance, coming from Japanese bikes. I do have a 2006 KTM 525 EXC - SM, love it. Forgive me for saying, last time i checked KTM is 48% owned by India. Bajaj bought 14.5% stake in 2007, and the rest stake in 2020. So KTM is NOT 100% European. In another words, KTM hasn't been European since over 24 years. KTM is more or less 50% Indian, 50% Austrian. (Now the world knows more than before).

      Big street/mobility market. They make all the smaller street models. Indian specs are better than Chinese specs. The 125-390 models over there are stupid popular. They aren’t making the dirt and bigger street bikes that we ride. You’ll see parts all over your bike with Italy, Austria etc.. With that said, the Japanese are barely Japanese anymore. The majority of their stuff is Chinese, not to mention they’ve barely innovated since the 90s.

    I climbed a 15% grade 10 mile mountain road and got to 10% at the top. Turned around and turned the bike completely off coasting back down with only the rear brake and had 20% at the bottom.

    I'm curious to know if this fix will work in my 23 701 or if i need to order a different year exc shifter. I have the same problem with the sharp edge. Don't think it'll fix the nasty chunky clunky shifting though. I have the same oem shifter style on my 2020 300 xcw and love it.

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes. The bottom end of the bike is the same. Take the one off your 300XCW and try it. It’s probably just a little shorter/longer than the 4-stroke version, but everything should the same. Might give you a good enough idea. It should help with the clunky feeling shifting too, but that will soften with time. Straight cut gears.

    Hi John! Cheers from Colorado! I'm wondering about changing sprocket size in the rear or front to get more speed. Would this sacrifice torque or would it be noticeable at all? Thanks!

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Answered most of your own questions actually. I’d only gear for more top speed if you’re on the road with it. When I geared it up I lost on the bottom and didn’t really gain anything up top either because the power curve is so flat up top. On the road you’ll get the gradual acceleration to a higher speed, but off-road sections are generally too short unless you’re dirt roading or something. Does that make sense? I also felt like it robbed more battery. I imagine its because the motor had to work harder to get the power to the ground. Mode 3 was more like Mode 2 power and so I was twisting it harder. This could be helpful in slippery terrain however. All anecdotes, but my two cents.

      Yes, but not because of the clutch. You can shift without a clutch on any motorcycle, it's just not recommended. It should still be shifted correctly with the clutch.

    @bradsanders6954 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ive got the new-ish Tusk Waypoint back tire on my 690, cant even tell its a knobby on road, and is pretty darned decent on dirt. 75.00 tire. I tried a Motoz Rallz on back of my 890R, boy did that thing suck on the road. I took it off and sold it after a few rides. Never tried a tire that made that much noise and vibration, every little bit higher speed it howled louder and louder. Many reviews say its great on road. Buyer beware. If you take out the sintered brake pads and put in carbon pads, in the rear, the rear brake will mellow right out for dirt use. Its a way strong brake at the back, easy to lock up too much.

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’ll give that tire a look even though I probably can’t get it shipped. Yeah, It saddens me to say I wasn’t impressed by my set of Motoz at all. They seem like a cool company. Have to stand on mine to lock it with my super shorty lever. I love it! Haha! Great on our greasy roads 🤣

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m pro damper, but not if you’re putting it on as a bandaid for bad handling on the street or something. That’s a setup issue. Now if you’re desert bombing or something… that’s a different story. I think the GPR stuff is nice because of how sleek they got them, but Scotts has a great reputation.

    Would you recommend a 100/100-18 or 110/100-18 on the rear?

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Either is fine. I’ve run a bunch of them both. What’s the primary application?

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The volume of the 110 is probably more like the volume of the stock hybrid trials tire, so if you’re bouncing off roots and rocks you might like the bigger size for compliance.

    • @AdventureContinuesAgain

      Really not that great. The front wanders real bad. The rear howls. Not that I didn’t expect them to. They wear well. Overall I expected more. Still think the stock MT21 was better. FAR happier with the Metzler Karoo Extreme on the front now. Karoo extreme barely even feels like it’s a knobby. I just have a “meh..” Kenda Big Block on the back at the moment.

    Hey John. Great content. I saw you charging the battery with 110 using an inverter. Could you provide info on the plug adapter and inverter. I did not see it in the short that you made.

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Voltage transformer/converter: amzn.to/4dYXnsk no need for an adapter because the KTM charger is a two prong Euro plug. You just don’t use the 220 adapter that came with the charger. Kind of nice to remove one part when you add another 😋 Hope that helps 🤙
