I have the identical Husqvarna 701. The oil level must always be filled to the maximum so that this doesn't happen in the wheelie
love from the uk, but wear some gear if you had some on you wouldn't of injured yourself mate. have a speedy recovery
Lesson Learned. Definitely wearing shoes or boots that cover the ankle
@@akidnamedsagegloves bro gloves. Even the slowest wreck your hands will always touch. Love the vids. Stay safe my bro 🙏
@@langar5249 Thanks man!
I've got a pair of AlpineStars high top riding sneakers. They've got a reinforced ankle and Kevlar. Less than $200 and look cool too. If you're boy getting boots consider rising sneakers from a reputable company. Good luck and get well soon brother
Salut ,j ai une 1290 SDR EVO 2023 et une500 EXC 2022,tu a déjà essayé une 500 EXC ?je trouve que c est plus nerveux plus puissant plus léger ,juste plus d ‘entretien,vidange tout les 15h ,maie j ai essayer la 690 stock ,origine! C est très linéaire j ai eu du mal à faire un Welling 😮Préparer ça doit être beaucoup mieux 😄tu a quelle démultiplication 15x42 ,stock 16x45. Et enduro 15x46
Love the vids keep it up👏👏
only supermoto able to carry your girlfriend
What about mine? Look at the pfp...
From my experience it helps a lot with wheelie coaster and stunts in general to use a lot your clutch, drop some tooth from the rear sproket
I had mine for two weeks now loving every moment
4:37 "it rides like a motorcycle" nawww bruh it rides like quad🤣
@@xPandaFN I meant more in the context of comparing it to my wr450
@@akidnamedsage ah ok
Same as u,i can scrape,coast,one handers u name it,and 3 weeks ago looped it sideways..broke 3 tor bones,any idea what makes the bike fall sideways? Do we target fixate or smh?
I think it really comes down to whatever mistake you made that made you flip. For some reason, I didn't let go of the bike which really ended up hurting me more in the end. Sorry to hear about your injury, I hope you feel better.
Bro, youre a Wheelie Maniac..Hope i ride One day 10% like you did 😂
I never had that oil problem after a long wheelie with with SMC from 2010, but maybe it's a different for the newer models.
Also my reason the 690 not perfect would be the weight.
Even though it's quite low compared to other motorcycles, a competition bike like the WR or an EXC is even more fun to ride.
But they have the disadvantage of high maintenance
Yeah the competition bikes feel even more like a toy because they are so light. They also rev much higher which makes them a little more fun.
Changing the exhaust and removing emission stuff sheds some weight. But it's like 20kg too heavy still.
A 500exc would be more fun, but way more maintenance
You're missing the ram mount nub and elastic harness. HEHE 3 phones down thus far, I've learned that it comes with glue; don't forget the glue.
Biggest worry about these bigger bikes from KTM is the damn cam wear issues. Not to mention they are restructuring their finances right now.
@@JackRLong12 This is true. To my little understanding about these motorcycles, I don't think the cam wear is an issue with the 690. It's definitely an issue with the new 890 adventure. KTM looks a little Rocky right now, In the end I hope they prevail.
@@akidnamedsage oh, the videos I've been watching specifically say the 690 and husq 701 unfortunately but time will tell
The cam issues are bigger on the internet than they are on the bikes
@@JackRLong12 the cam issues are on the duke 790/890 my 790 failed my 690 smcr has never failed once
zero cam issues on excf, sxf, smcr, enduro platforms - it is the older lc8 790/ 890 platform from 2019
what gearing

리뷰 감사합니다. 덕분에 이 바이크를 구매할 생각입니다. 감사합니다.
I always wanted 690 or 701 SM but jist cant justify the price of 13.500€ for a single cylinder. This is rèep of
buy 2nd hand - very low cost for what you get - just because it is a single means nothing, powerful bike with supreme spec parts from top to bottom
@ogasi1798 problem is ther is no 2nd hand 690 or 701s where i live. Tink i will buy the 2024 ktm duke 990 the price is 10.990 brand new, the regular price is 14.500€ so i tink its a great deal
@Nisotovski wow, what a bike 👌
hooooooooooo-ligan bike , way worse than my excf500 and that is saying something hahahahaaa
