2018 Husky 701 I got a pod filter, Leo Vince slip-on, no baffle + power commander 5 (ECU flash). power wheelies in the first 3 gears no clutch. You can clutch up in the next 2 gears. Also, check out these easy mods: - Removing the 25 amp fuse from the ABS module disables ABS completely front and back tire - MotoMinded Ruby Headlight and visibility at night is WAY better - Black plastics are out now! And they're cheap bro.
In addition to my full system exhaust, K&N hi flow filter and booster plug, I also have a front sprocket geared to -1t and the rear is +3t. With all that, I have to really yank it to power up in 3rd. Can't clutch up in 4th+ I have "disabled" the ABS sensor on the rear 😄
bet you got a 2018? its the last year before they rerouted the circuit. its located RIGHT behind the airbox under the ECU, there should be two backup fuses stocked incase you need to replace one. pull off the water proof cover, and underneath you should see a 15 and 25 amp fuse, leave the 15 amp in and pull the 25 amp fuse and youre brakes will work perfectly and the ABS light will be always on. you can remove the entire light if you want @@asserkalsbll4008
Yeah I know what you mean, I did over 16,000 km on my bike this year and it for sure needed a professional inspection lol, the prices do suck though but you got to do what you got to do. Great video bro!!
Greetings from a UK 701 owner! Loved the intro, I might try something similar next time; I’ve only done a couple of initial impressions videos on mine so far.
Hey mate!!! I've seen a few of your videos too 😄. Most complaints I have heard about these came from people with pre 2019 models. Mine has been solid so far. I hope yours hasn't caused you any grief too.
Hey man. Flash the ECU. Many more customization options compared with the PC6, can even change the settings for quickshifter/blipper + no need for any dongle anymore because the flash overwrites the closed loop.
I 100% agree with you. I have looked into that. However, every tuner I have contacted here in Australia said they don't do it for this bike. Kevin Hope is pretty famous for ECU tunes (Australian) and previously flashed my MT09 ECU. Even he doesn't do it for the 701. I will try and extend my reach overseas. Fingers crossed, there's someone out there that will work some magic 😅
@@afrobiker what year is your 701? i had to go hunt for an aftermarket 2018 model just to avoid all the tech. i almost bought one new til i googled it and found out how locked down they are :/ 21 and up gets mad tricky i but im pretty sure ive seen them dyno tuned here in the US
@@Merc399 Mine is a 2020. With all these restrictions getting worse every year, buying an older used bike over a new one will become increasingly more appealing.
nice bike - i should hope folk would start being realistic, 30k on an engine is nothing - people everywhere seem to think they are knackered after 7k or similar, it is an insult to engineers and oil providers across the world...strange
Hey there, my 2022 701 sm has the EVO 1 air box lid, DNA air filter, Arrow slip on “silencer” with baffles out and the Coober LM euro 5 unit fitted. She pulls like a train and will easily mono in 3rd gear. Are the Australian bikes European or American market? Reason I ask is if it’s the American non euro 5 one then coober also does an ecu for it. I’m not affiliated with coober at all but can safely say it’s awakened my machine and made it feel like it should. I purchased the bike new in 2022 and waited until the first service before I added all the bits and bobs so that I could feel the difference. Just a thought but have you done a compression check on your bike to see how well it’s all performing in that department ? All the best and keep up the vids
@@afrobiker USA: 12995 for base model, for the model that competes with our 701s, its 14995. No torque tho. aiight im done running through your comments my bad i do this sometimes, cant sleep so im watching 701 videos

Just got my Gas Gas. Great for commuting around Sydney. Starting to do the mods on it now.

@@afrobiker Only a couple of minor niggles so far with paint finish and improper oil levels, but it's still early days for me 🙂
Try power commander with a proper map. I’ve enjoyed it a lot since Covid

Yeah from what I’ve heard, open filter mod requires a remap 😊

480 for labour...ffsake. anyway i also got my husqy701 and loving the bike ! good to see a long term perspective ! nice vid!
It sure is a lot of money 😅
@afrobykr I'm assuming that isn't in US dollars?
@etc-and-more AUD haha. Sorry, I should have indicated that
So it’s very good to use this bike for travel because I own one but afraid of using it to travel
yeah i travel literally everywhere on mine

how many hours labor is that? thats a basic service thats insane to charge that much for labor
I am would like to know what kind of tiras you are using,they look good
Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR
You need the Hypermotard 698 😀
It doesn't look too bad. What's the asking price? 😅
@@afrobiker around $23,000 😅
For that kinda money, why not pick up a Hypermotard 950 SP?

Rode 698 side by side with my 701. 698 felt like a R6 in sumo cloth. No low end torque at all
What tyres are you suing? They look like dual sport. Scorpion Pirelli?
Nvm I saw it Scorpion PIrelli! :D
@@Archyblade Haha, I was about to reply. Yeah, they are the Pirelli Rally STRs.
What tires are you using I need those for my 701!
