If you do reply and let me know if it’s worth it! I had two gsxr 600s. I’ve never ridden a dirt bike and want to get something more upright for my back
Thank you. Im going back and forth torn between the 701 and the KTM 690. I'm a MX 2 smoker and my last bike was a panigale 959. These 701s are bad ass. Mods you mentioned seem Mando for sure after the proper break in. Learned a lot thank you boss man.
I will definitely keep everyone updated as I get into higher mileage, the first real service is at 6000 miles. That's a valve check and some other stuff
@@TheonlyrealChester cool sick bike man I've wanted one for years but I don't know how to work on motorcycle. I have a wr250r that if I need anything done a buddy works on it but I don't think he's familiar with ktm or husky because they're so rare on the east coast.

This is why i didn't pull the trigger on one yet. Husqvarna, as of this post, doesn't have a good dealer network where i live (New York, U.S.), like the Japanese brands do.
@@TheonlyrealChester i got their intake, an exhaust, emissions delete, and power commander with their tune with power + ignition advance tune. It was around 1200$ i think.
Thank you! I have a video talking about my camera settings and editing, right now I use filmora 9 but I'm going to try to switch to Adobe premiere when I build my PC
I want this bike so bad. I kinda blew it and bought a cush hub wheel and SM tires for the berg FE570 when that $ could've been a down payment on the 701 SM.
I bought my 2020 a couple weeks ago. Currently have about 400 miles on it. I’ve had the same issue a couple times with the neutral light. Before coming to a stop I put it in “neutral” the light comes on and it starts lugging and either almost stalls or stalls lol. Are you still having the issue?
Chester Anderson okay sweet. Yeah I ordered my pipe and another mod from Rottweiler. Do all the 2019 mods fit the 2020? Haven’t been able to find an answer
Might want to go ahead and swap to an Oberon Clutch Slave. Mine took a shit on me this weekend. Spent the weekend camping at the Tail of the Dragon and the slave crapped out 200 miles away from my house with 2077 miles on the odometer. I knew the stock slave was a issue and I was actually gonna replace it before the trip but I bought a APX skid plate instead. That decision bit me in the ass lol. Anyways, trailered the bike home and the Oberon Slave cyl. should be here Thursday. Husky has yet to fix this issue btw. Lesson learned. Some people have had it fail in less than 100 miles but most seem to have it fail around 1500 miles.
@@TheonlyrealChester 😂 I know, but it's woth it so drive super careful. 1000 kilometers 😐😂, u sayed the throttle is a little bit slow, how can u fix this? I have a Exc 350 2017 too, so I used to aggressive throttle.
Nice review! I've got the 2019 701 Enduro version and I'm trying to trade it in for the supermoto. I thought I'd be riding more dirt but the reality is I hardly leave the city. Even the Enduro is tons of fun on the streets and will grip real good with right tires, but I have slid the rear end accelerating out of a turn way too many times now and a supermoto, especially with a traction control like that, makes a lot of sense :D Just out of curiosity.. Is it just me or your left handguard is ever so slightly higher than the right one? XD Oh, and my 2019 701 doesn't have a quickshifter and I still get the same issues with neutral light not lighting up when in neutral and I also get tons of false neutrals no matter whether going up or down through gears. But this while I am sloppy at shifts riding spiritedly.
Nice! Yeah I bet it is! It's definitely a different animal when you go full supermoto, you won't regret it💪🏽 lol yes they are, you can adjust the levers on this bike without moving the hand guards too haha. Interesting! Well that's good to know it's not a quick shifter problem!
What was the out the door price? And did you pay in full? Thinking of buying on of these this month, I’m 6’2 200lbs, so I want more than a 450cc, and something I good for highway speeds as well. Watching all your videos on this lol.
Chester Anderson watching it now bro. Close to the same height, heard a lot about these but no one local has pulled the trigger on paying that much. I am definitely going with a brand new bike this time, just subscribed, gonna fallow each video you do on this bike. Thanks for the input man it’s appreciated.
Chester Anderson definitely buying one, I was gonna get one in 2018, glad I waited though, way better position financially at the moment though. Local shop up here in Chico has 3 in stock, but only 1 SM, so I’m heading up next week to get that sucker.
@@TheonlyrealChester i knowwww its aproblem!!! haha how do i chjoose lol! i subbed about to watch through some videos i got the sumo bug right now should have one in a couple weeks i started on a zx6r now mt-07 which i been havin so much fun on only right to move to a sumo now lol
You might want to keep a leery eye on the clutch slave cylinder, lol. I'm not sure about the +2017 models since they got a huge upgrade since then, but I'm planning to replace mine with an Oberon after 600 miles.
I have 6000 miles on my 2020 Enduro. I can't imagine I can be much faster on the asphalt in the corners. Bike rips and I slaughter 99% of bikes in the twisties, and the beating is bad.
Had tons of false neutrals in the beginning. 2k miles in and can't say I have an issue anymore. 6th gear isn't comfortable unless you're doing 75 mph with stock gearing.
Bro you said you’re in California where in California did you pick up the bike I’m really interested in getting one myself either that or KTM still please get back to me I’d like to know what dealer you went to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chester Anderson only thing is the bike looks like it sits so low it looks like such a small bike you know where as the 450L and the ktm sit way higher
Bullshit is not that quickshifter my 2018 didn’t had quick shifter did same think to false neutral and no lights at times it gets better as u ride but will happen now and then.
@@TheonlyrealChester itll get better after the brake in like i said then itll hardly happen ,on my 18 i put exhaust on it that think would go 138 mph , my onlu complaint on that bike was my neck start hurting me because the upright position on the highway but then again i would be ridding with the sport bike crews and never stayed behind for anymeans
Chester Anderson I was running moto helmet I thing that y my neck would hurt but no bs that thing goes no joke it’ll stay at 138 miles per hour I’m in USA just going np only thing Need replace the exhaust

The shifting issue is helped with the Factory Pro shift kit. I have a lot less false nuetrals since installing it last week.
Thanks for sharing! I'll look into it🤟🏼
@@TheonlyrealChester is there a certain way to break in one of these bikes? You mentioned not getting on the highway on purpose

You Dont Have To Use The Quik Shifter Do You ?
Does it have 6 speed transmission
It seems 701 would be better on highway over the dr z400sm
Wonder why 😮
Good video mate. Can i ask wht type action cam you use on this video and what software you use for editing. Thanks...
Thank you! I have a video talking about my camera settings and editing, right now I use filmora 9 but I'm going to try to switch to Adobe premiere when I build my PC

Congrats Nice bike! What makes you decide for the Husq instead of the KTM? Thanks
Thank you! In my opinion the husky just looked better. It also came with a better seat and a 24k mile warranty compared to 12k on the ktm
@@nathanielboddy2043 yeah definitely because of the exhaust
they still use the classic brakepump on a 2020 supermoto???
I'm not sure!
is a quickshifter stock with the 701?
Yup! Quick shifter and auto blipper, ill be doing a review on it once it's broken in!
Chester Anderson oh nice 👌🏻
And light lit up means abs is on or off ? Thanks again for the reviews sorry bout your crash
Light means it’s off! Thanks man👊🏽
Looking at one with 4k on it and was curious on any maintenance needed at this miles
I can't decide if I should go new or get a lightly used 2019. Do you think the improvements are worth it?
Definitely! Watch the vid of me picking it up, I kinda talk about it, also the 2020 is gonna hold value better
I want this bike so bad. I kinda blew it and bought a cush hub wheel and SM tires for the berg FE570 when that $ could've been a down payment on the 701 SM.
Aw haha, but that adds a lot of value to the 570, you could probably sell it and then have a down payment plus some cash for mods💪🏽
This is my dream bike and I was just wondering if you have done or will do a camera setting video?
I did a old camera setting video, definitely need to redo it soon
I bought my 2020 a couple weeks ago. Currently have about 400 miles on it. I’ve had the same issue a couple times with the neutral light. Before coming to a stop I put it in “neutral” the light comes on and it starts lugging and either almost stalls or stalls lol. Are you still having the issue?
Yup that's exactly what mine does haha, I'll definitely post a video about it if I can find a fix. As of now still does it a few times every ride

What's the difference between the modes? Why are you riding on mode 2?
Supposed to be better throttle response and just a more aggressive tune, helps but not too different
I'm in Canada. Worth paying 14k compared to 10k for the 2019?
I think so, just because you'll be able to break in and everything, as well as get the quick shifter and electronics.
How would u compare this bike to a mt07. Just sold a ktm excf 350 and I'm stuck between the 2. Cheers 🍻
Completely different bikes! I would say the 701 over that all day long
