Looking very good mister Chops !!👍, mine is 90% finished waiting for the last bits to go on 🤪🤪 even though I live in Spain id like say 4.90 kg 😉😀 regards!!
15:05 its good practice to pour some oil into the filter to prevent it running dry on start-up. That's also what i've seen factory mechanics do with ktm 450 rally bikes.
Not really necessary on motorcycles and small cars. Maybe on some diesel engines its a good idea, theres already enough residual oil on the bearings and such, as long as you dont instantly redline it at startup, your bike will be fine. And also, since the filter is mounted sideways, it will just be a mess
Doing your own seat!? SO yesterday chopsy! 😜 You did a far better job than when I attempted a gel insert on the old FZS600! Looks the business mate! Your lucky, lucky botty! Tasty Tekmo Tunes too. I miss that thwarpy, blarrty noise since I binned off the twin. Damn you Euro4!!
Great job Chopsy, and praise must also go to you’re amazing assistant who seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to Susan Boyle when all glammed up!! From my experience, it always turns out to be less than hoped, so I’ll have a guess at 5.85KG. Regardless.......very entertaining, great personality and the humour is spot on mate. Keep it up!!!
Lovely looking machine!!.... did you ever consider an aftermarket display with gear indicator ect more like the Duke 890 dash. Only asking because it’s a road I might go down if there recommend as there’s not much information about.
love what youve done to the bike and just got a 690 my self one question who do you use for insurance as no one seams to want to insure any new bike that has any mods at all
I need TH-cam to have a fast forward button for the test ride vid. Nice work LCR. You and Mavis make a grand couple 🥰. Weight save about 8.55kg ish. But not in it to win it. But love this build. Can’t wait for the Ducati 🤩
Looks amazing, I’ve been humming and hahing about a graphics kit for ages, and you finally spurred me into getting one for my 701. Should have done it ages ago, I went the wet fitting route, and I think it was easier. Now both our bikes look ace 👍🏻
Hi chops! Nice work! I look forward to seeing this out, I have wanted one for a while, as with the 701. Although I would miss my R1 (even in its new sadly quiet form)
shes a beauty i love the seat i think im gonna be doing that as well i bought the ktm powerparts ergo seat so might as well trick out he stock one right
Well chops. That bike is a thing of beauty, and sounds a beast. So with that in mind, I'll go with a weight saving of...6.66 kg. The number of the beast (ha,ha,ha,). You have out done Crashking, and set the bar. Get together with KTM and do LCR/KTM limited edition bikes. 👏👏👏
Hi Chops, Great Build! I notice when you built your 701 you used the R&G frame bungs, but you don't appear to have used them on the KTM 690 SMCR. I'm tracking mine and bought a pair but on looking at the mount for them I wasn't 100% that they wont damage the frame mount in a slide, what are your thoughts?
How's the Gel Insert? I have a new 701 and importing a SC is crazy expensive but I'll do it if its the best option but if I can get away with the gel insert & new cover then all the better (is it too soft?)
Cheers for the vid and showing kl the small details in the build Lamb Chops!Which model from Ducati throttle spacers fits the KTMs? I have an 890adv and the plastics throttle slack just makes it feel cheap
When changing the oil, on my EXC, KTM recommend that you fill the new oil filters with oil prior to installing them in the engine. This helps the oil flow on the initial start up after the oil change is completed. Not sure if it is the same for a 690 but probably something to consider in the future.
It looks great chops but all these mods how do you insure something like this after watching the 44teeth ,they say you have to list all changes otherwise the insurance is invalid.I would say 7.4kg
7,8 kilos weight loss,, yes bollox I'm in bother again, bought a 690 super Duke,, don't have your money chops,, but am going to mod it in time has an after market pipe,, really enjoyed this series,,, from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
LCR never disappoints. Great work. Informative and Entertaining.

Didn't realise I met you at Goodwill until my friend on the Tuono explained. My gixxer's running Dymag CA5 wheels thanks to one of your videos!
Good to meet you today matey 👍

Yes I remember from my exc days, they don't say to do this on the 690. Probably due to being a bit more oil in the engine 🤷♂️
Looks stunning my guess would be 8.32kg saved
It looks great chops but all these mods how do you insure something like this after watching the 44teeth ,they say you have to list all changes otherwise the insurance is invalid.I would say 7.4kg
