Good on you for this video, it shows the pros/cons of this setup pretty well. There's a guy near me who is parting out his 690, it has me thinking I should snag his dash as a spare, haha!
Yeah I dunno, maybe if you can get it cheap enough. But this experience has kinda made me think they're not very durable, so the TT may be a better long term solution 🤷♂ cheers
It's so good to see the KTM back....I think you did a great job of putting in the new instrument panel.... I would suggest to get the Gear Indicator..it will make it easier for you... Thanks ... David....Triumph 1200X Scrambler ........
I haven't seen those but yeah the ones on the later model 690s are pretty crap, taken straight off the enduro models. Upside is they're probably a lot more durable.
Great stuff mate awesome to see it alive again , with the indicator light could you throw a diode on each feed wire so it won't back feed to the indicators to create hazards and this way you can only use 1 light like you want ... Just a thought for you 👍
Thanks man! Yeah I have some diodes around here somewhere and thought that might work but by that point I was like fuck it I wanna get it back together and go riding. Might have another look on a rainy day, cheers 🍻
I was going to try that, I even have some diodes here somewhere, but by that stage I didn't care anymore just wanted to get it done and go riding 😅 Might have another look on a day when I'm really bored lol
Good on ya mate, glad you got your shit together mate, nothing like a bird nest to make sense of after a few coldies 👌😅 Hoppers chomping at the bit mate, I think he has a thing for sleek, slender Rangas 😊
My friend, this is a universal device. It can be made to fit any bike really 🤘 But yeh I think the KTM version should work pretty well with the 2020+ 690
I could have found a used genuine one here in Europe for less than your vapor and send it to you (just checked found 3 around me). A lot of features missing from the vapor for that high price IMHO
Yeah the thing is tho they must be pretty fragile man, I don't mind most of the missing stuff (still more features than the EXC style dashes they have on the newer 690s) and I'm hoping this will be a bit more durable 🤞 Cheers Oli
So the hipe on these instruments is overrated. I thought these units where plug and play. A direct replacement. Was it worth the saving, keeping in mind the functions you no longer have available?
Definitely not plug n play, although to get the unit working itself with all it's own sensors is not really difficult, it's the optional indicator light dashboard thing and wiring all those up that can become the nightmare. I think it's worth doing though based on how flimsy and prone to shitting themselves those stock units seem to be 🥴 But then if it ain't broke, no need to fix it...
I didn't? Huh usually I reply to comments, my bad. Yeah eventually I made up a little spacer to stick in the rear wheel sensor, works perfect. Cheers 🍻

I do miss my gear indicator 😎 thank you sir!
Great job.100% better than original clocks in my view.
Cheers mate yeah they're pretty cool!
Neat fit Josh! I didn't understand any of the electrical explanation, but glad you worked through those dilemmas. So, well done to you Sir! 👏👏🤣
Perseverance wins in the end Bob 😁😁
KTM needs to give these bikes a better dash like the 698 Mono has.
I haven't seen those but yeah the ones on the later model 690s are pretty crap, taken straight off the enduro models. Upside is they're probably a lot more durable.
@@MVDBR I meant to say 698 Mono. They have a simple LCD dash but it's a lot better.

3:36 josh did it come with rev counter 👋🤠👍
Yessir, didn't connect it tho
12:56 yer cheers josh I'll get the cumpan cockpit assistant fitted mate 👋🤠👍
Yeah that thing has a gear indicator aye, was looking at those
If still interested. Find an electronics shop that fixes circuit boards and see if they can have a look at the dash for you.
Yeah maybe man, at this stage pretty happy with the Trail Tech 🤷♂ hopefully it's a bit more durable. Cheers
Nice job Josh, there's pros and cons for sure. The one I had on my XR650L was great, and I loved the blue back light at nighttime. Cheers Maddog 🍻
Thanks for the info you shared on it mate, much appreciated 🍻
To avoid getting hazard lights put a diode on the end of each indicator wire before you join then to the one dash lamp
I was going to try that, I even have some diodes here somewhere, but by that stage I didn't care anymore just wanted to get it done and go riding 😅 Might have another look on a day when I'm really bored lol
Super slick unit, looks factory
I like it 😏

Let's gooooooooooooo 😎😎❤❤
nice work!, is this fit for 2020+ bike
My friend, this is a universal device. It can be made to fit any bike really 🤘 But yeh I think the KTM version should work pretty well with the 2020+ 690
Looks real nice Josh, my son runs one on his drz. To bad they aren't plug and play for each model, I guess no one can repair the original?
Maybe someone who knew what they were doing could fix it 🤷♂ oh well I'm happy enough with the Trail Tech. Cheers mate 🍻
I ran an aftermarket gear indicator on my klx abit before I crashed and broke it it worked well and was like $20 off eBay haha
Fuck yeah that's the go 💯

Looks good 👍

Hi Josh. Did you ever draw a wiring diagram of your setup? TIA
Nah sorry I'm not that smart mate 😅
13:22 a diagram of the plug is about all I have
That level of honesty is why im gonna subscribe. Thats some shit id say😂@@MVDBR

So you did put the washer in the ABS sensor, you never replied when I recommended this! Did it deactivate both front and rear ABS?
I didn't? Huh usually I reply to comments, my bad. Yeah eventually I made up a little spacer to stick in the rear wheel sensor, works perfect. Cheers 🍻
Did you work out why the old one broke Josh?
Looked like a light crash.
Nfi mate, no obvious damage external or internal 🤷♂
KTM things
@@stephenjacob9316 yerp 🥴
Neat bit of gear, I'd be like a rat with a gold tooth if I put one on the DR . Cheers 🍻
Thank you good sir, I'm sure the DR would enjoy a little bit more bling in it's life... don't recommend tho unless you enjoy wiring 😭🍻
Yeah you peel that banana boiiiii 😅🎉
😎😘
Yaaaaay
❤
I have installed the vapour unit on my 690, and my advice is dont . Buy another ktm dash and move on .
Any particular reason? I've has mine for 5 months now with zero issues 🤷
The stock 690 dash is stupid. I barely pay attention to it.
👍👍
