Hi kal, totally random but jusy came to mind while watching this, i bought a set of performance indicators a bit back, apartly old stock, they have the short wires but come with extensions but they have the small white clips like what the plate light has, my harness used the bigger black clips. You have bought these before havnt you? Do you know where i can get some, that are the same as oem. Cheers
@@DesmoDan front indicators I think use the white clips behind the headlights for the front on the 698. For the rear you can search on eBay for “Ducati indicator plu”..
not owning one yet, does it "need" a brake upgrade?.. or more of a "nice to have cause i can" upgrade i was under the impression the brakes were pretty impressive stock
@@maddan_78 You’re right.. This bike doesn’t need it.. stock is good enough.. but bikes are always personal and for the cost (which is way cheaper compared to an exhaust) I just like the look of this. It will be getting a battering round the uk track next year when the season opens
@@hypermotardking oh for sure... braided line is always a good upgrade, and def nice to remove the loop.. i'm curious about the benefit of replacing an already brembo caliper with a different one that's all.. (does look good though... no question there ;-) )
I've owned about 10+ Ducati's including both a Hyper 939SP and 950SP. Had my 698 Hyper turn up today at the dealership sight unseen and it was the first time I have ever turned down a sale on a Ducati. I'm sorry but the build quality on these is absolutely trash compared to even a 950 Hyper. It's like KTM quality (chinese garbage), at italian prices (expensive). My dealer didn't even argue with me, he just agreed and he said he would send it back to the warehouse. Pretty sad day to be a ducatista.
@@PLAYER2035 Which version did you order.. base or RVE? The components on the 698 are much better than a KTM, and being a new bike I agree some of the build plastics could be better 😂
@@hypermotardking base model, but I’ve seen them side by side. The fact the bike doesn’t have a single lick of paint on it for that money is just robbery
@@hypermotardking yeah i just think even side by side with a 950 hyper, the fit and finish is cheap and nasty. I just couldn't bring myself to actually spend the money on it, despite ordering the bike in etc.
beautifull... looks majestic .
@@mohamedaljazairi3892 Thanks
Great work and Explanation man
@@NoPain666 Thanks
Bike is coming along nicely! All my videos got deleted but you’re making me want to do an update video on mine haha.
@@BrewsAndBraaps Everyone should post and share their experiences - get on it
Glad i found this video, didn’t realize they had a loop delete kit. Would that still work on a 698 with stock brakes?
@@davidkomaromi2017 Yes.. the hardware is virtually the same in terms of connectivity
A bit easier if you take the brake pads out first 2:23
@@adamkernohan True.. had me puzzled for a bit
bike turns out badass af man , nice ! what brakepump you have on there , oem or ?
@@CunningStuntsGoFast OEM for now.. need some upgrades for when we hit the ring next year
+@CunningStuntsGoFast OEM Brembo…

@@ClutchFirst Early days at moment.. but they look better and are lighter

@@maddan_78 I did the same brake change on my 950.. cheap when u can get a pair of Stylema’s for £400
do you have a tiktok account?
i transfered my 698 to full black matt carbon fiber, would like to share it with you.
@@mohamedaljazairi3892 hypermotardking but I don’t use tiktok
How much did this upgrade cost?
@@rsv4pilot114 Calipers and Pads - £250,
loop delete £100
So what’s the weight difference I mean science right 900grams to what?
300 dump-able grams, brah.
2/3 of an lb.
@@paulmcdonald21 300 grams.. 😂😂
+@paulmcdonald21 fuk all but looks million time better
Looks good. I’ve been browsing brake upgrades for the 690. Whether just pads or calipers.
Got to keep the loop though. Proper SM’s have loops. Lol😂
@@Robbiemoto Nah.. loops a distraction 😂

The KTM 690 is made in Austria, so I’m not really sure what you’re going on about?
