Hi. Thanks for the video. I have two suggestions to improve the install. First, I suggest using spring clamps made specifically for clamping hoses in place rather than using zip ties. Second, with just a tiny bit of filing on the top edge of the seat support brackets and those can be reinstalled with the aux tank. Theses seat supports help carry the weight of the rider rather than having the tank support the rider.
Best video made on this excellent product (with superbly clear camera shots BTW) by anyone including the manufacturers who bloody well ought to be paying you a royalty mate. If only you didn't talk so bloody much it would be perfect, please try to keep your gob shut next time. Apart from that, one of your esteemed countrymen has discovered (in a rare moment of sobriety) that you can make this tank work by simply connecting it to the breather pipe on the main tank. Obviously this does not allow you the option of choosing when the auxiliary tank is deployed but for those like myself, who are prepared to swap that aspect for prioritising the reduction of top end weight first, it saves a great deal of time better spent at the pub.
@@tequilagrub Another good reason to connect it as you did is that you can put another 'T' piece coming out of the tank and fit it with a fast release connection so you can add a 5.5 litre side tank from Rallye Raid in the UK. With the extra top tank the range in miles will extend to 250 miles plus(or 400Kms), with the side tank also fitted that will be well over 300 miles (500Kms). Actually if you think about it there is nothing in this weight class that can achieve that range. The 690 rules as far as a serious adventure bike in my book. Used one on the extended 7,500 mile TAT in the USA.
@@tequilagrub My Rallye Raid side tank came with a fast disconnect (push button to disconnect type) and it was 100% leak proof when the tank was off the bike. And the tank also came with a tap so you could remove it full of fuel. Only problem I encountered was the bio fuel in the USA hardened up the O ring in the tap causing a leak (which in turn caused a scary afternoon lost in a gigantic forrest running on vapour!). My advice is to order a few extra O rings with the tank as the actual type and size is difficult to find in 'petrol proof' construction. I swapped out lots of ordinary ones from New Holland tractor dealers who were the only guys with that size in the USA but they leaked due to not being "petrol proof". All you need is another T unit just outside of the main tank bottom and then put a short length from that T to a disconnect to allow you the choice of using the side tank or not. Thats what I am going to do myself anyway. I would not recommend Rallye Raid pannier frames though, they are too heavy.
So, no more airbox. Just an air filter open to the elements under the seat. This is why an 890R dirties it's own air filter just riding along a dusty road, dust swirls up under the seat off the rear tire, and is why KTM has the OEM snorkle breathing towards front of bike on 690. I dunno, this kit is 600.00? I will carry a fuel bag or bottle and use when needed. Great video though! Very clearly done.
Hi, i just fitted to my 2010 690 but far more painful than yours. I did all kinds of placing and testing but he fuel cap touches the seat bracket , there is no bolt to hold the stopcock, I routed the ful pipe on the inside of the frame near the rear shock, seems to be out of the way and strong cable ties. I don't want it exposed. I don't have the T piece in my bag, so it confused the hell out of me, plus the 10mm pink pipe needs to be bigger to go better on one of the other vents. I think the system seems to fit as lot easier for the newer 690's. BTW, I originally also routed through the OEM air vent (Siphon method) but then decided against it as the fuel cap is difficult to get off each time... why did you need to do a 15min reset?
I like the tank but I’m not sure about the filter, I ride a lot in the rain and do water crossing often I’m afraid of water getting inside the intake, same apply for other filter options.
The 690/701 might be my next bike, in maybe one or two years. For sure I will be looking at a way to increase range. Two concerns about the Rade tank: 1) is the bike getting louder with this open airbox? 2) will KTM still honor warranty claims for any engine damages with such a modification? Looks like a good reason for them to refuse any claims! Good video, thanks!
Personally, I'm saying F that warranty. They're always trying to find a loophole to not honor it. Make the bike yours regardless of the factory nannies.
Hi i would like to know how it turned out any problems, what about the air cleaner? the size you put in was half the size of the stock size and issues, what about handling with the extra fuel up high? thanks---- Dean
If only the filler neck was a tiny bit shorter... Small detail, but now it looks like you're supposed to empty your bladder in during the long(?) rides...
The original airbox is large, which is good, but it has a long snorkel on it to minimize intake noise. The main reason I don't do this mod is the intake honk is insane.
Duncan Bexon after I installed tank I noticed a significant gap between the seat and frame on the right side around the tank. Was wondering if you had similar issues. Maybe there is something still in the way and the tank can sit lower. I tried installing rear bracket in both orientations with same results.
Duncan Bexon I added the plastic brackets back in and they fit great and addresses the gap and offers better support then just the tank. I sent photos before and after to rade garage showing them the difference. Works great with stock and seat concepts seat. All good.
Noise regulations! Plus: The airbox has relevant influence on the engine's performance (-> resonance oscillation). It would not astonish me if this airbox modification results in - 5 hp (and xx Nm torch) ... Note: Manufacturer's engineers are not so stupid that you can easily improve what they have figured out in intense research and testing ...

I had a question, my bf has a 690, might be 2018 or 2019... I’ve been looking for black fairings for his bike but they say they carry 500cc. I’m not really sure how this works on these kinds of bikes...... any help? Or links where I can buy them.? Thanks in advance (it’s for his birthday, so I can’t ask him)

Thanks for the really clear step by step video. I just ordered one of these for my 690 so I hope I do as neat a job 👍
Thank you for sharing - nicely shot and edited - that beer when you opened the package is an essential part of the prep - HNY!
Did that to my 2016 2 years ago. One of the best upgrades I have ever done to a bike.
Any issues at all?. Does it flow more air than stock? Lastly any issues with heating the fuel?
Thanks for uploading. Will be installing the same tank to my 701. This video will help.
Thank you very much for sharing this!
I’m about to get the “storage kit” from Rade Garage and you helped me with the installation 👌
Awesome piece of kit. Thanks for the vid mate.
Great video!Just fitted mine and followed your video. And copied everything thank you it was very helpful!
Just came across your channel, & loved that tank set up.
Would love to see a follow up video later
Great job, well made video and nice product :-D the sound from this bike... god i miss it :-P
Muchas gracias, hubo un paso en donde tenía duda pero ya lo resolví gracias a este video.
Muchas gracias !!!!
Great Video! Thank you very much Duncan, I just ordered the tank. Take care.....Peter
thats a meaties knife if ever ive seen one
Nice vid.bit better than the rade garage tutorial!

Gotta love Brits :D
Thank you great job and great video. Better Than the rade garage otiginal video
I've seen somebody installed this kit directly to vent output from stock tank, much simpler installation.
The placement of that fuel tap is the only thing i would change.
Good video.
So, no more airbox. Just an air filter open to the elements under the seat.

Why do you Aussies have such big knives ?
Thanks for the video. Just bought new 690 and Rade Tank. Your video is very useful!
👍very good work video ... thank you for all the info.

KTM gave us bigger air filter then tank...thanks KTM

Genio, muy muy bien
Could you route the fuel line into the main tank breather fitting instead? Great video!
Yes you can. I did and it works perfectly.
@@braaap690 Do you need to fill up both tanks or will filling the Rade Tank also fill the stock tank?
@@bj5563 the Rade tank will siphon into the main tank, but will not fill the main tank when you are static such as a gas station.
@@braaap690 good to know - thanks!
very nice informative video thank you kindly
Nice
Аж слюни потекли
I like the tank but I’m not sure about the filter, I ride a lot in the rain and do water crossing often I’m afraid of water getting inside the intake, same apply for other filter options.
That's not a knife.
Maximum range autonomy change from ~175 km to what? Approximately 245km probably🤔 thanks

400+ euros for 5.5L plastic bottle, are you joking?
Nice done¡

Thanks for the video Duncan, could you please let me know where you bought the vented cap for the Rade aux tank?
Good job👍Considering this mod.. did you loose or gain any hp with the Twin Air box ?
Hey there, nice video, thanks! So, what is the range you are getting now? Cheers!
Can you primarily fill the tanks through the new tank...say in a race scenario?
How much did the intake sound change?
Thank for the Video.
@@tequilagrub Thank you. I will think about it.
Sorry should have read the rest of the comments before posting.
Good video,what it´s the function of the original air box?
The original airbox is large, which is good, but it has a long snorkel on it to minimize intake noise. The main reason I don't do this mod is the intake honk is insane.
What tail tidy is that?
How much louder is the intake noise with this kit?
Did this require the ECU to be remapped or was the 15 min side stand reset all that was needed? Noticed it had a Wings exhaust. Nice.
Duncan Bexon after I installed tank I noticed a significant gap between the seat and frame on the right side around the tank. Was wondering if you had similar issues.

Duncan Bexon Stock. They bolted right up stock and added alignment nicely to the tank. No mods. Looks nice as well.
Any Idea if 2019 has less vibration than 2018 model
#Ridingmonk my 19 is as smooth as any bike, really impressed
what KTM was thinking putting so huge airbox and so small gas tank...

Not available for the 690 to the best of my knowledge. two alternatives would be graphics/ decals made by a shop or painting his. hope that helps
That's a noife
