I have been considering a ADV bike like the T7 or something but nothing has the chops to handle how I ride and seeing this, I think I just found my next bike to go into the garage. Thank you.
In the case of the 701 Enduro, the head pipe is quite sufficient. No need for a full system. Akrapovic and Yoshimura, for example, only produce slip-ons for the 701 Enduro and 701 SM.
I just installed a SC seat on my 701. Increase in comfort no doubt, but I feel this seat pushes me a bit forward compared to stock. Not sure if I like that or not. Did you experience the same?
Johannes did you get the tall? I got the "regular" comfort seat and did not find it pushed me forward at all. That 2k mile trip last week was the first longer multiday ride on the seat - I was pretty happy with the lack of discomfort even after a couple 11-12 hour days.
@@kuhndj67 Yes I got the tall one. It’s much better already, I guess I just had to get used to it. Good to hear that you’re happy with it. After three hours on it I still felt good, so it is definitely an upgrade!
Adam, well done video. Thank you for showing us what you can do with the 701. I use Adv bikes for multiday camping, so handling under weighted conditions is important to me. How much weight did you have in the panniers and other bags when you were riding? Thank you!
Hi upshift. Isnt there a risk that you Bent The subframe if crashing with theese crash bars? I was thinking about outting Them On My own 690 enduro r, but People tell me i risk getting a Bent subframe if i crash with Them.
Do you mean the pannier racks? Look you risk bending all sorts of things when you crash. The Outback Motortek pannier racks are easily the strongest we have had the opportunity to ride with. They mount low to the frame up front and to the subframe up high in the rear and there is a crossbar between the two sides in the rear down low. Both sides work together countering any forces applied. We have had a couple of good crashes and hard drops with this bike and everything is straight and solid. We are very happy with the product and what it does for the 701.
UPSHIFT ONLINE it was the outback i was thinking about, im considering them for my 19 690enduro r, thank u for response and thumbs up, i enjoy ur videos, very informative 😁🙏🏻
Where did you get your cyclops light set up i went to the cyclops web site and they only had a big single light looks like it would be bright but it's super ugly I love your light set up i was hoping I could get 1 for my 690 enduro
It looks really good! but as an adventure bike I heard mixed feeling regarding reliability of the 701... what's your experience? Did you drive long distances?
That's not a straight forward question to answer. At the end of the day, the 701 is a single cylinder dualsport. If you ride it in situations where you are on pavement hour after hour at the same speed in higher RPM range carrying a heavy load, it will not like it. That's partly why the 790 with a parallel twin has been such a hot topic. But if ridden and maintained properly, the 701 can give you great service.
The Power Commander we installed came from Rottweiler Performance with their tune programmed. It did just that. Made the power much more usable. www.rottweilerperformance.com/dynojet-powercommander-v-for-husqvarna-701-enduro-sm/
Hi, What pressure do you use on wheels with luggage? The manual only talks about the pressure settings with luggage when driving on asphalt. Should I increase the pressure by a minimum of 0.1 only on the back of the bike?
I am considering between this and the Yamaha Tenere 700 adventure. Can you give a rough estimate of the cost of upgrades to complete phase 2 and the added weight?
At this point we're not sure. The value of the Tenere 700 is pretty much impossible to touch if you are looking for more of an adventure bike. And it's a parallel twin. The 701 has more brute torque and is more of a dirtbike.
Couldn't even tell you at this point. Prices and availability have changed quite a bits since we built this bike. All the links are in the description for you though.
The problem with that is... when this video was made, all of those prices have changed since. Which really gets people fired up over time when they go to buy something and now it's 20% more expensive. This is a lesson learned the hard way. We leave links to all the brands we used so you can easily find all the parts. And labor costs is a question for your mechanic. Every shop/mechanic charges different rates.
Not sure what the exact time frame is. Would recommend calling your dealer. Not likely though as the 701 is not running at the same kinds of RPMs as the FE350-501.
We tend to not do that much. Sometimes links change or go away and then we have a ton of broken links in our videos. Links to brands is simpler for all. it's easy enough to navigate to the specific products.
This is a bit late... but no. We put close to 7K miles on it and didn't have any issues at all. Not a super long time frame, but it was pretty amazing for us while we had it.
We can say with a fair amount of confidence that the PR7 and the 701 Enduro are not nearly the same. The PR7 is a decent bike and the price is excellent, but the 701 Enduro is superior in pretty much every way.
So much depends on what kind of riding you are doing. If you are looking for and covering lots of offroad miles it's excellent. If you need something to put in thousands of pavement miles at relatively high speeds, the single cylinder is not ideal.
i love the D908RR rear tire, but the front will start losing knobs within 2000 miles. I tried two of them in a row with the same result on my 2015 690. my 2019 690 EU model came with 50/50 mitas E07. see th-cam.com/users/telerover for that build.
The 701 is fantastic in stock form. We do recommend stiffening the suspension for most average adult men as they tend to be a bit soft. This particular bike was built up to represent what can be done, not necessarily that any of these things must be done. FInd what works for you and your budget and ride.
I was just told that the 701 and 690 are not very reliable motors by a dealer. I had my mind set on one and wanted to order a 2020 690 or 701. None available here in Colorado. They had three 2019‘s in the back for motor work. Can anybody confirm this BS. Btw he does have some 2019 501s on the floor for sale. Lol
Well I purchased a 2019 690 enduro and have not had any issues to date, nor have I read much about others. My bike is in for its 1k servicing and no recalls or issues noted. That is just me and suggest you reach out to KTM directly or attend a demo day in your area to check things out for yourself.
What were they trying to sell you then? I have a 2018 and I have not had an issue with the bike. There are issues with the 18 and earlier models having clutch issues and the gaskets were changed for the 19 model year or replace with a Oberon. Check out the ADV Rider forum or FB group for the bike and you will see many happy owners with the occasional issue here and there of course. I am in Colorado and if you want to see mine your are more than welcome. Mine is similar looking but I used Rade Garage fairing and tank.
You are kidding me, why would you buy a bike with expensive and hard to get parts, just get a Suzuki DR 650, mine was $1900, then get a procycle 790 kit $850 then you have a simple reliable bike with cheap available parts, 790 that weighs only 50 lbs more than a $11,000 POS Husky
If you ride a nice DS bike like this and a DR 650 back to back you will know why people spend the money. Of course the DR will be more reliable - just like a Toyota Corolla will be more reliable than a Porsche 911.

Thank you very much for the kind words. Appreciate you watching.
Great setup and top presentation, thanks!
Thank you for the kind words Trent.
Every time I see a big bore bike it always takes me back to riding my XR600r fond memories
The XR600 was a special machine.
Love the bike and the extras on it.
Sick!!! Need a full exhaust though. Slip on's don't add much at all. Have full set up Yoshi on my Sumo, MORE power than slip on version.
In the case of the 701 Enduro, the head pipe is quite sufficient. No need for a full system. Akrapovic and Yoshimura, for example, only produce slip-ons for the 701 Enduro and 701 SM.
Well done. I love seeing the Idaho terrain.
Much appreciated Dave. The topography we have available is pretty hard to beat.
It's great to see a 701 built for adventure riding. Don't see that very often.

What rack for the Kriega saddlebags? I'm very curious about the luggage setup you have going on. Thumbs up from a 701 Sm owner !
It's the Outback Motortek pannier rack. Link in the description.
That is a clean machine.....
One of the most fun bikes we have had in our stable. Really miss it.
Dumn beautiful bike,look so cool for multi days offroad Adventure,..but what about the cost?!! still more to come,yes it's a project,..keep on..
cheaper than buying an f800gs..including the rally kit cost.
If 12k is too much for one of these (Audi’s) of bikes then your managing skills are fucked up
Inspired Great Video...!!!
We want this vs the new T7
this'll be better, 350 lbs vs 450lbs is no question offroad
Adam, so you have a copy of the map you developed for your Rottweiler fuel map?
It's Rottweiler's map. They sent us the tuner pre-loaded.
absolutely beauthy

Do you know if in this model it is necessary to change the rod bearing every 135 hours? As in the rest of enduro models?
Not sure what the exact time frame is. Would recommend calling your dealer. Not likely though as the 701 is not running at the same kinds of RPMs as the FE350-501.

AJP pr7 is nearly the same bike, but mutch more cheaper. With DOMA racing exhaust 65hp

Please list the price of this build for all the people complaining about the DR650 build price to see :) LOL
We avoid listing prices because prices change and then everyone is pissed at us within a couple of months. Definitely more than the DR650.
High, a Husky 701 has to look like yours. Kindly Fiete
Thank you!
Nomad tower is a non starter for me. It just looks odd and breaks the symmetry of the bike.
That’s fair. Back when this was done… it looked more modern. Now, it’s looking dated.

what brand is the skid plate?
That is from Outback Motortek.
