They are just generic cheap mirror extensions from Ali Express.

Go for the quiet insert as even that was still too loud for my taste. I ended up going to the local hardware store and bought a 20mm (or maybe 25mm) copper pipe end cap and riveted it to the bottom end of the db killer to quieten it further and it made a difference without affecting performance.

I do have AS Tech 7s for enduro riding but on this day I was wearing Sidi Adventure 2 boots, the best ADV boots I have owned.

Thanks, yeah I understand your comments but other than aesthetics, you don't really need more scaffolding. The stock crash bars are to protect the low slung tanks, hence why they are only covering the lower half. I tipped the bike over a few times and it always landed on the standard crash bar and handlebars (with Barkbusters) and no damage to the bike. They do the job and don't add much bulk or weight to the bike.

Sorry for the late reply. It is the MCCruise system out of Australia.

The ABS is very good and removing it would make the bike illegal in most countries and render your insurance at risk. If you just put a couple of spring washers between the rear ABS sensor and the brake caliper hanger to move it a few mm away from the ABS ring, you will permanently switch off the ABS front and rear without modifying your bike.

I totally agree it is a risk and had done it myself. I was happy to accept that risk but the safest approach would be to stick with the stock sensor and carry the dongle with your spares in case of emergency. It is a tooless fix and easy to do on the trails.

They are the the Pro Taper EVO Adventure bars, comfortable for a taller rider.

Its a Piug screen for a 690, I got it off ebay.

I ride a Norden 901 and an really itching for a KTM 690 Enduro R or the 701 Enduro. I've managed to take it on some gnarly single track but I was absolutely bushed, especially in the Texas summer heat. As someone who owned both what was the most noticeable trade-off between the two?

the grips are by Komine EK-300 12V Heated Grips DX - Controller Built-in from Zarkie in Australia.

I had this issue at the start of Summer in slow traffic or tight trails. I had recently done an oil change however it hadn't had a coolant change since I bought the bike. As it had done 20,000 kms, it was due so I drained, then flushed the radiator with distilled (demineralised) water and put in fresh quality coolant and hey presto, no more issue since. The radiator flush and fill was super easy. Another simple and accessible maintenance task courtesy of the KTM engineers. Many other bike manufacturers could take a leaf from their book on owner serviceability.

Yes, just sold it.

@@ride4adventure i have a 2022 690 and at the moment in a dilemma do i drop more money on mods like the lynx fairing, or just sell it and buy a KTM 890R i do 50/50 riding whats was your reason for selling your 690

If you are doing more than 50% road riding and you like riding fast and far on the road, then go the 890. Otherwise stick with the 690. I wouldn't bother with the Lynx fairing, I had it and went back to the stock headlight mast with a screen as it is lighter steering and has a better dual sport feel. If you keep the 690 and want more protection then go the full Rally style kit like from Rebel X or Rade Garage. Its expensive but its makes the 690 a proper looking adventure bike.

The bag is held on with clips so it is quick to remove it but on all 690/701 bikes any rear bag has to be moved or removed to access the main tank for fueling. The range is +250km so it is not too bad, most day rides are around that. With the extra tank the range is 350-400km depending how you ride so usually a full day.

@@ride4adventure Thanks, the reason that I asked was that I have a new Gas Gas 700 and installed a chinese Perun knock off rack. I then mounted a plate to that with a bolt in the middle which enabled the bag to swivel and allowed access to the fuel cap.

I am currently running the Givi screen for the standard fairing. I the videos where you see the instruments and phone GPS, I was running the Lynx fairing from Britannia Composites out of Canada.

No, just install & ride 👍

Hi Andrew, the filter is a twin air foam filter on the small air filter box that comes as part of the auxilary tank kit. You should be able to order them from most bike shops I ordered a spare from my local shop) but here is the original www.radegarage.com/parts/foamfilter/. If you just want to get the mini airfilter box as a seperate kit to the tank, you will need to contact Rade Garage direct I think.

Hi BDADV, I have had none of the issues described. Noise, man there are so many other noises, how would you know? Reduced Power, I don't know how that might be but the air filter is more direct to the injection system so less distance compensates for smaller air filter however the intake stack is still the same size so I don't see an issue. No venting or fuel boiling issues but then I do have a proper filler cap breather thatworks and heat shield to the bottom of the tank. I suggest the issues might be from improper fitting or shortcuts. The only non standard fitting I did was to reuse the seat brackets so the seat didn't rest on the tank. I filed down the edges just enough to fit alongside the tank and sit support the seat stops. I also added some foam to the edge to ptotect the tank and used a longer bolt for the shared nut for the tank and original seat bracket.

Thanks, good to hear. I’ll start shopping for one.

oh you need much more. There is bunch of things wrong with 690 from factory. Stock fuel pump is crap and rear brake leaver as well. clutch needs modding in 2016 model. In this one probably too. licence place holder will fail so needs deleting. bunch of bolts need replacing or deleting. list is long. but when you go and do those its a good bike. Also this seat mod wont hold. Plastic underneath it will fail pretty soon.

Cheer for that 👍

Sorry for the missed reply. The front forks were good, no issue for me. I did replace the rear spring with a beefier one and added an Xtrig preload adjuster.

I've put Pro Taper pillow tops on my EXC-F 350 and it makes some difference to the vibes. 👍

@@youraveragerider6684 I use Progrip 714, works wonders, anything is better than the thin KTM ones.

Thanks Ben, I have made something similar for my 350 EXC-F but so far the stocker has been okay for the trails I do on it which probably means I'm not riding it hard enough 😉 It looks a good bit of kit though.

Hi Ian, it came out of Canada and it took about 2-3 weeks in the Perth. Faster than stuff from China and the support was pretty quicj from them when i had a few questions. I run the screen always in the lowest setting that gives some chest protection so there is no buffeting on the helmet and it is fine up to 120km/h. Any faster and I will put the screen up and lean forward to reduce buffeting but I am 6'5". I don't usually spend much time above 120lm/h.

Hi Adam, its a Ralle Moto from MSC Moto www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiU__K9o9btAhWRNSsKHblhCv0YABAKGgJzZg&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQOD22K11H5EWXSBq0fKlFSl2Z384_-chmmTtEthY_mv_rJc85AW6DNAQp2oBneUDWOwvRcGrgTU8Ehogqm_ow2g&sig=AOD64_1SUfGUTE1Azq48uOmDg5Wt3VQ-gw&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwiene29o9btAhX24jgGHVY7A_YQ0Qx6BAgaEAE

Yeah I did see that but I wanted a seperate inline fuel filter for the tank as I wasn't convinced there might be issues so I went for a seperate line with filter and tap just in case.

Hi Geoff, the Enduro R has passender grab rails so it is a straight swap and no mods to the plastics are necessary. I think the SMC R version or non pillion versions are the ones that need the plastics to be drilled as they don't have the grab rails.

littleblackduc1 yes , they come with the grab handles but they are not fitted, you have to drill the holes in your plastics. If my grab handles were fitted I wouldn’t be asking.....

@@geoffgbad1576 interesting. The handles were already fitted to my bike when I got it (1 yo, 2nd hand) and it lined up exactly when I removed the handles and fitted the rack.

Yeah, the drill marks on the underside of the panels are about 5mm off.

Hi Mike, it is The Lynx R fairing from Britania Composies out of Canada. They are very good to deal with and have good resources to help you DIY. www.britanniacomposites.com/ . As for the videos, there is much to improve on but I will try to make future ones a little better each time.

@@youraveragerider6684 Okay Thanks for the info .. Think it looks smooth and not as big as some others. Now you should not be like that :) I think you're doing a good job. ;)
