I've had the bike for about 6 months now and decided to make a video explaining what its good at and the features it has, if you're looking to buy a Supermoto, this is the one to have in my opinion. enjoy.
"Get yourself a good pair of boots, gives me the protection that I need" > ripped jeans Don't worry, I may be making fun of you but I ride like a maniac in regular jeans as well 😂
Any way you could list the parts you added to the bike? For example the tail light and bar end mirrors? Thanks! Mines coming in the mail Wednesday and I can't wait to ride it
What aftermarket parts did you add? I like the fender eliminator kit? If you could put links to what you added i would appreciate it. Looking to get one of these soon.
Dont have links but off the top of my head : BikeLiteZ Supermoto Fender Eliminator from amazon DNA air filter, open air box Full Leo Vince exhaust Power commander 5 with map from Rottweiler performance 15T front sprocket (-1 from original) And bar end mirrors
Thanks bro! I got these bar end mirrors from ebay about 25$ And i havent dyno’d the bike but from what i understand it puts about 72ish HP to the wheel with these upgrades so about 8 HP increase, the main thing is the power delivery throughout the rev range thats very noticeable. Hope this helps 👍🏽
Sweet video! Question: did you need too remove a link from the chain when you dropped a tooth? And did the power commander make much of a difference? I just brought my 690 smcr through the break-in period today ... got a picture oof the odometer reading 666.6 miles heh
Thanks! No need to remove link, just adjusted the chain thats all, the power commander makes it run alot smoother, no more popping out of the aftermarket pipe and some added power as well, deff woke it up.
Just picked up my 701 SM. I got a left over 2020 at a really good deal. At About 7.5 miles on the odometer the clutch slave went out. No clutch control at all. So I got the Oberon slave coming next week.
@@g_j_b_o_o_g_e_r420blaze9 Yep. Couldn’t believe it. I let the dealer know right away. They said they would order the replacement slave after I trailered the bike over to them. When I got home I ordered the Oberon slave. It arrived yesterday, and I installed it today. Bike runs like a champ. Still no word from the dealer lol.
@@g_j_b_o_o_g_e_r420blaze9 Yep. Couldn’t believe it. Replaced today using the Oberon slave cylinder. Works super great now. Still haven’t herd from the dealer on the replacement lol.
Hey "The Juiceman ", thanks for sharing. May i ask from where you ordered the tail kit? Plate holder, indicator/tail light/brake light? Thanks in advance. Kind regards.
hi man! i'm planning to buy a 701 from new, just like you I wanted a SM for years now after owning more than 10 normal 4 in line bikes, I got a question for you if you don't mind, do you have any oil burning problems? thanks in advance! cheers and stay safe!
as long as its broken in correctly, you wont have that problem. in the first few miles you have to give it a little bit of tough love right out of the box, hard riding. and after that, ease off for the next 600 miles but change the oil often (i used t4 rotella 10w40) and always vary the RPM's so everything seats properly. im at over 4k miles now and no oil burning issues!
@@joeyg3789 first of all thank you for the quick response, you just have confirmed that I should use mineral(conventional) oil for the break in as MotardSteve says to do(and do the hard break in, loading the engine and engine breaking) thank you very much so, ride safe!
@@joeyg3789 okey! I bought one right now! Thanks alot! I got a Huskvarna 701 2020! And u know that i live in sweden in the city called Jönköping where Husqvarna 701 was built! Seach on huskvarna Jönköping :) take care bud!
Wry nice review. I’ve watched it a few times and shared it with others. I’ve got a hold on a left over 2020. Looking forward to getting in soon. Is there anything you would recommend aside from what’s in the video.
I would just say properly break it in, hard break in with the right oil makes sure you dont have an oil burning engine in the future and have all the power its intended to have 👍🏽 thanks for sharing
@@joeyg3789 Thanks! I ask because ideally the 701 supermoto is a bike i would like to own. But Husqvarna doesn't have a good enough dealer network here in the U.S. The nearest dealer to me is about 90 minutes away by car (assuming no traffic). And also hearing some new owners having some issues with their bikes. So i'm very hesitant to pull the trigger.
If you’re talking about the frame sliders i actually took them off due to them causing more harm then good But the axle sliders are held on with a long threaded rod
If you want to save your ass, either move those bar-end mirrors above the grips where you don't have to look down to see the drunk coming up behind you when you're stopped for the light he's going to run or return to stock mirrors. No one looks down enough at those lower mirrors to keep track of rear traffic to be safe.
@@joeyg3789 Cool thanks a lot. I hear tons of beginner recommendations about bikes but i never seen this bike mentioned. (Probably because price) But Everyone who makes a video on the 690/701 has been riding for years
If you are going to be talking about safety at least wear full gear and not just boots. Motorcycle pants are also super important. Other then that great video.
@@joeyg3789 Those people are idiots. I just want people to safe that is why it's important to wear full gear. One bad accident can cause a lot of trouble.
The best video experience of the 701 that I've not experienced myself as of yet. 😁
Great job and thank you!
Thanks for the review bruv. I was on the fence about this and this video helped to make up my mind.
Im glad i could help, its a phenomenal bike 🤙🏽
Yep , you’re living the dream. Fantastic video, fantastic country,fantastic bike, you lucky lucky man . Best wishes from the uk
Just picked a 2021 unit. Thanks for the mod tips.
Beautiful bike ! great Video
Great video,I'm sold on getting me a 701 sm
Love my dr650 but this husky is the bike I need!
Such a great bike 👍👍👍 nice review
Beautiful place you live in and amazing bike . Wish you would do a onboard ride over Hawaii :)
Great video!
Love the bike, Husky’s are GREAT! Super jelly you live on Oahu as well 😂 Got a sub from me!
"Get yourself a good pair of boots, gives me the protection that I need"

I love my 701. I always ride with traction control and abs on too homie.
Is it too much to turn them off?
@@archermar nah 5 seconds
Man, a Huskey 701 in Hawaii? as you already know, you're probably very lucky and/or hard worker.
Love it!
Can you walk us through the taillight mod you did? It looks good
Beatiful Byke, I want to do the six gear mod on my Drz 400 sm and get a husky 701 sm
Sweet video bro
Much appreciated 🤙🏽

Where does it top out now with the 1 less tooth up front?
Can you tell me where you got the tail light
that section at 7:30 the road is gone now, i think land slide - dont know if they repaired it yet - the whole left side of the road is gone

Stock seat or aftermarket? If aftermarket, made by whom?
Thats the cheap fender eliminator you can get on Amazon right? How do you like it?
Love it, works well, signal lights are integrated, the stock license plate light hooks right onto it, its perfect
I have a 2019 enduro version, I agree just fun, loads of fun. No rider aids bar abs so some sqeek moments on the road..
Thanks for the nice view from hi kiki
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gee Brother that’s some serious shit your doing on that 701.
Thanks for sharing stay safe from a Aussi
Where is that tailgate from?
🤙
🤍💙💛
I have the enduro one !
nice bike! can u link where u bought your brakeing light? love it!
Thanks! Got them off of amazon, type in “bikelitez 701” should come right up, was about 60 bucks 🤙🏽

is this model still jerky at low rpm ?
like the tail light , not so much the mirrors
Sounds good, what after market exhaust is this?
This is the leo vince full system

What kind of oil is the best to brake her in with??
Thanks. 🏆
How high does your bike sit?
what are the maintenance intervals on those like? that's my hesitation on them
I changed oil every 2k miles personally, thats what felt right with synthetic oil
Others go further, but i dont recommend it
What's the good and the bad about the bike? Do you get false neutrals?
If you still have the bike, would you recommend it?
Good question, ill try and make a vid on this soon 👍🏽
@@joeyg3789 Thanks!

dooope
what does compression and rebound mean?
Suspension settings for your weight
How did u put the sliders on there
If you’re talking about the frame sliders i actually took them off due to them causing more harm then good
But the axle sliders are held on with a long threaded rod
Did the sprocket change throw off the speedometer
No, luckily the speed sensor is on the front wheel so its always accurate
i have a 2020 KTM 690 SMCR, my clutch slave failed in the first 50 miles on the ODO.
Its an inevitable time bomb, never know when its going to happen unfortunately
@@joeyg3789 does the '21 version have the same cluth slave or have they fixed it?
Is it a seat cover on it? Or it came like this
Seat cover my friend 👍🏽

Where is that?? Looks like Venezuela or something??? Love that bike...
Thanks! Its hawaii
Nice bike! :) Which country is it? :)
Thank you! Husqvarna is a Swedish company
@@joeyg3789 oh yes the mark🙂 but i think about the road🙂
This is in honolulu hawaii, the road is “tantalus” =)
Omg sooo beautiful road 🤩🙂
Would this bike be an unreasonable 1st bike to own?
No
Itd a perfect first bike tbh, not overpowered, doest want to kill you, you’ll love it.

How tall are you? Do you flat foot?
Just under six foot, i lean to one side to flat foot but tip toe if i have it up right
Fuk yer bro !! Western Australia

same as KTM?.....
