Thanks for this which was a great help and makes me wonder about a 690 I have in the US. The filler cap has to be removed to lock the steering. I can only assume the wrong kit was supplied. The other thing is that the fuel from the auxiliary tank is siphoned to the rear via a connection to the rear Vanasche filler. It works but it’s odd…….. However it gives a massive range boost over what is a very small tank for a “travel” bike to use KTM/Husqvarna parlance.
I’ve just done this mod and found that there is a bit extra power now although I have a wings exhaust and fuel dongle fitted. The engine revs quicker and is a lot smoother. I used the vacuum/ siphon method utilising a 3/16ths (4.8mm) fuel hose 1 meter long and drilled out the overflow to 3mm wide with a vanasche filler cap. I didn’t drill the barb. It works very well. The hoses would be better pre cut from rage garage for the air filter. The sas connection is a bugger to get on I used a 1/2in extension bar from a socket set and heated it to expand the hose so it would fit on the sas connection.
Nice bike. Not sure if you saw it yet, but Rade just came out with a new air filter and cage for the 690/701 that utilizes the top screw design. Quicker/easier to swap filters.
@@adventureridersweden5981 kul. Funderar själv på att köpa 701sm och ha dubbla uppsättningar hjul. Kör annars 890 adventure r som jag köpte förra året. Därför extra kul att se vad du gör med din hoj.
I feel like I have too little testing to say for sure, but seems good. As for tires I have only tried mitas E07 (not on this bike) and the TKC80 that are on this bike right now. The 80s are good overall but drop in grip quickly in the wet.
Pity the maker didn’t present the installation as well as you did. At least you thought about lighting and showed the real world issues with the fit. Not having clearly detailed instructions with the kit is not good enough. I’m going through the fit right now.
Resting plastic on to metal isn't a good idea,there should be some sort of rubber damper on the frame and that bracket to the rear of tank to stop the tank vibrating on the metal as it will eventually start wearing into the plastic fuel tank over a long period of offroad riding and engine/frame vibrations .
Hello! Sorry for my late response. I have done quite some miles on it and so far I see none of the issues you are presenting. I hope it stays this way!

You can connect the new fuel line to the breather hose from the rear tank and it sucks the fuel. This means you don’t have to remove the fuel pump

Hello! Thanks! I didn’t see that yet! I have to check that out!
Great instruction video. Thank you!
Glad to help! :)
@@adventureridersweden5981 i am still in the market for a 701. will have a Look at 2020 model with low mileage next week 😊
@@mhn.overlander2798 Great choice! I am very happy with mine! I have more videos coming up with customizations of this bike so please stick around! :)
Jag Köpte en ny 701 häromdagen och massor av godis från Rade Garage . Fortsätt lägg upp fler videos , du gör ett bra jobb ! :-)
Vad kul! Grattis till många roliga timmar framför dig! Tack för feedbacken! Det värmer verkligen!
Bra video. Kul att följa hur du installerar och dina körningar med 701:an. 👍🏻
Tack så mycket! Det blir förhoppningsvis lite tätare mellan videorna i takt med att vädret lättar upp lite :)

How is the fueling after all mods with intake and exhaust work? And what tires do you prefer?
I feel like I have too little testing to say for sure, but seems good. As for tires I have only tried mitas E07 (not on this bike) and the TKC80 that are on this bike right now. The 80s are good overall but drop in grip quickly in the wet.
Tack! Jag fick hem min 690 igår. Hoppas jag hinner hem i tid från jobbet i morgon och kan ta en tur.
@@robertandersson2523 Lycka till och Grattis till en fin hoj!
How many litre fuel can you get in the new tank you installed?
Hello! It holds 5,9 litres.
Pity the maker didn’t present the installation as well as you did. At least you thought about lighting and showed the real world issues with the fit. Not having clearly detailed instructions with the kit is not good enough. I’m going through the fit right now.
Glad I could help! How did the fitting go? Are you happy with the kit?
