- Track Day!
The long await trip to the asphalt.. well the street is asphalt too, and some concrete in areas….. You get what I mean dammit!
It was so much fun to get out and ride this KTM 690 SMC R to its full potential! Or at least my novice potential.. I learned so much about the bike, how to ride better, how to lean and NOT put my foot out, so many good things!

AWSOME VID BRO! Fthat looked like fun !
Thanks man! For my first time ever at the track on a bike I thought it went really well! Now I’m addicted..
If you haven’t already, I definitely recommend watching a twist of the wrist
I’ll have to take a look!
Thank your video for SMC 690,is a lot information to me.
Hope the algorithm pops off for you soon dude. Definitely deserve more for the effort put into these videos.
I appreciate it! Thank you! And I’m hoping too, that’s what I’m fighting and we’ll it will keep me in the dark until TH-cam figures itself out..
i legit just baught those gloves a few days ago haha nice vid btw
Haha hell yeah what do ya think of them? I think their great for track (1 day experience here..) but street a little too bulky haha but thanks!
This is awesome, if I actually manage to get a 701 or SMCR next year I'm definitely hitting a track!
Hell yeah! Just be careful, it’s addicting.. already planning the next day! I’m dropping a video soon on the cost of this, so you can see first hand what I spent money on and the total for this day!
You should def get one of these bikes. It's the most fun y r gonna have on 2 wheels my man
Welcome to the track! Careful, it will become a addiction!! If you get a chance, try riding on a cart track, they are generally about 1/3 the cost, slower speeds but just as much fun! Got my 690 in mid July, 2500 miles and 4 kart track days done so far, best bike I have ever owned! Love the channel, keep it up!
Thanks Tom! It seriously is addicting.. that’s all I want to do now, riding on the street just dosent compare! And I have yet to look at those.. I’m sure the tight corners, short straights make it great for our bikes!
Hell yeah they are damn good motorcycles, I love mine and just getting to the 2k mile mark haha you’ve done quite a lot more than me!
You are exactly right on these being the most fun bikes out there! I got mine new this year in February and already have almost 10k miles one it. No track days yet tho 😔
Awsome ride bro. Love this build series. Do u have any supermoto track out there.
Thanks man! And not that I have found, even road tracks are rare.. this one was short enough in sections to be competitive but the straights I couldn’t keep up hahah
Bro the bikes looks freaking AWESOME!! I really wanna try a track day out. I need to see what is close to me here in SW PA
Thank you! And they are soo much fun! I would highlky suggest the Novice group even if you are a lot morew skilled than I am because you can learn so much and take it at your own pace
@@LifeWellRidden well I guess that's the good part of riding alone. I AM ALWAYS THE BEST AND FASTEST rider in my group lol 😂🤣
But yeah I def would want to do that as I have never rode a track. Been riding dirtbikes since I was 5 but track is a whole nother works that I know 💩 about
@@22smcrrider96 You got that right! It is a whole differnt beast and when you see the "pro" classes go out.. holy S#!T are they fast..
Your quickshifter seems so buttery compared to mine. Have you done any mods to it? Or to the shifting, like the shift kit? I get so many false neutrals I’m scared to track it.
I have done nothing to it, the bike has a PCV with a tune from Rottweiler Performance but that’s it.. I have had trouble on the street but honestly, I just use my foot like it’s made of lead 🤣 super aggressive with the up shifting haha
@@LifeWellRidden thanks dude. I’m rolling pretty much same as you. Rotty intake, pcv, sas delete, “custom” fmf 4.1. I did dyno it tho, and they squeaked a couple more horsies and smoother lower rpm response over the rotty map.
@@groundskeeperwilly864 that’s the dream for me! The intake and SAS is next for sure but wish I had a place in IL to custom tune.. there is only one shop (that I have found so far) and they are not that reliable..
@@LifeWellRidden why not bring it to ktm shop and let them map it? Thats what im going to do won’t even need a pcv.
@@jeldful that’s a thought of mine but at the time I figured a PCV would be a good route.. I know little on the tuning game of a motorcycle haha 🤣
Curious about your decision to not use QS.
I know we got that occasional False N problem is that the reason for not using it
About the only time I used it was on the straights but in all honesty, the first couple laps I was so focused on the lean angle/hitting the apex/learning the track, I just reverted back to my old clutch usage haha as the day went on I got more comfortable with the track, knew my lines and understood what gear to be in so I could then use WOT and the QS
@@LifeWellRidden makes perfect sense! I b doing same thing when I am out riding twisties! Then every once in a while my brain says hey dumb dumb you have a QS on this bike!!
Or riding WHEELIES I always use it then!
@@22smcrrider96 Hahah my brain says the same thing! haha like duuuude USE THE QS!!
