No, I put a 14 tooth front sprocket on which made the gearing ratios feel closer together. The change is slight but feels much improved I hope this is some help and thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

One of the main reasons for trying this type of screen and holder was to place the GPS or digital roadbook in my line of vision so I can see the information as I'm looking ahead rather than looking down. I know you don't need to see this all the time but it is a great help when you are riding all day in unfamiliar territory, it is less fatiguing. If I'm honest the screen offers little in the way of protecting from wind and rain at speed and is not distracting at all from the road or track ahead. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

Thanks

The case is a "Ram Mount" unit in their" lite" range of holders specifically for the Samsung Active Tab 2. I think it is an easy search on their website as they have many options for the tablet

Most campsites we stayed at were off the TET route so it was a case of seeing how well the day was going and we were all feeling along with campsites we used Airbnb. These we could usually find very close to the track and between 3 of us they worked out as cheap as the camping. I think we tried to be as flexible as possible regarding accommodation. Hope this is of some help and you have a brilliant trip 🤘🏻

Hi, Before the 690 I had a 500 exc but that was too harsh for me and prior to that I had a GS 1200 which I rode on quite a few TET sections the 690 is a great compromise between the two I'm able to do the gnarly stuff if I encounter it without the huffing and puffing of trying to get the GS through. I'm now in (only just) my sixties so again the 690 is so much more manageable not as easy as the EXC but way more comfortable and much more civilized, the power parts seat improved things measurably. Having said all this if I were younger I may have opted for one of the modern middle weights. Hope this is of some help and thanks for taking the time to watch 👍🏻

Hi, with the screen on there is no feeling of any extra weight on the steering and it does help with blocking the wind to a degree, above 70mph there's turbulence but I do have the screen in it's lowest position so not sure if things would improve with the screen set in the highest as I haven't tried it. I'm 5'.7" so quite short. In all I'm really pleased with the screen assembly and haven't had any issues with passing trucks. I have to be honest I don't ride many major roads unless I have to but would again say there's a good improvement on general day to day riding. Hope this is of some help and thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@gnarlybadger690 , thanks for the reply. Really appreciate that!

Glad it helped

It does improve things slightly, keeps the dust and mud off around the bars and definitely helps keep the weather off any phones or GPS units you may have fitted. I got the screen off a friend free so that's the main reason I put it on, I've now replaced it with the Adventure Spec mini fairing for the 690/701/Gas

The seat height on my bike is 885mm according to the spec sheet the standard seat height is 910mm.

Them damn import charges 🤷🏻 thanks for watching, it's worked out to be a good buy at a reasonable price

Thanks for watching, I must confess I'm not so keen on such a large display. I'll use it for the roadbook events I have planned but will return to a normal GPS device in-between

Thanks Mike, you played a big part in my decision to buy 😁. The IBC has not started too well I'm guessing maybe a software issue or just the device being old'ish tech 🤔 trying to register the device was a pain, it took so long the day I wanted to do the first event came and went. I'm going to try again this week to do the Cotswolds IBC but I need to register for the event so I hope there are no more problems and it recognizes that I want to start and register me making the waypoints 🤷🏻

@@gnarlybadger690 seems a few had issues with the app 😪

Quality mine was about £1.50 😂

Yours looks great bud, I only wish I could have knocked one out like yours but I don't have the ingenuity and skill. I also think yours is more practical

@@gnarlybadger690 That is a good looking screen and I agree with you about the price of the towers 😱and we can rake these of in 5mins

Keep trying, you'll find it!

Wouldn’t that be a good idea Mike, love the place but sometimes them darn gates can get a bit tiresome

@@gnarlybadger690 agreed mate 💯

100% would be ace to remove gates for grates - especially the pentrefoelas and surrounding , my god when alone it is tiresome - the only issue would be idiots who cant hold themselves back bombing down at 70+

Thanks 👍

It doesn't seem to have made the side stand any less effective, I thought it may have made the bike stand more upright but I haven't had any issues at all

Guys told me they put a side stand off a 690 Super Moto on their 690 Enduro, so thats what Im doing. To me the stock 690R enduro sidestand almost stands the bike up too straight. If I get on with the sidestand down there is no way to get the sidestand up. With out getting back off the bike again. So Im trying the shorter super moto sidestand, found one used on ebay.

Thanks for watching and commenting. The trail at the end is Andorra, the Pic Negre link off Section 17 of the Spanish TET a great trail to over 2000 metres high. The thing is now there's a toll booth that charges 25 euros to ride up it but if you've never rode it before it's well worth it it's pretty spectacular

Yeah he was okay, he pulled his shoulder believe it or not dropping his bike on the road. He tried a couple of times to try and ride trail but his confidence was shot, funny thing is his got a 530 exc but decided to take the 950 🤷

Cheers Mike, trying to get back into producing videos 😁 and yes the weather was fantastic considering the weeks leading up to departure

thanks

HaHa I’ve heard it‘s in development for instructions on sat-nav’s soon 🤣🤣

I already wondered: What tires are those then?

Thanks for subbing!

Hi, there’s always compromises to be made. There’s no perfect bike so at some point you have to decide what you can live with. I’d ride my 690 anywhere any distance it doesn’t have a comfortable seat, I’ve improved it by buying the “PowerParts seat” but as a trail bike the 690/701/700 is second to none it’s fast powerful and surprisingly agile you can take it anywhere. The T7 is a good bike and I’ve seen other guys ride some pretty gnarly trails on them but I’m just an average rider and picking up a 200kg bike just isn’t for me. If you intend on riding the TET anywhere i think as long has you know your limits you could ride most of the TET on your T7

@@gnarlybadger690 many thanks for the reply.

Amateurs

Sorry you feel that way. Nobody or any animals were armed in any way during this trip

😂

@@gnarlybadger690😂

Great point!

hope you managed to get round to riding

Hi Ian, thanks for the nice comment the range on the standard tank on the 690 is 13.5lt which is around 3.5 us gallons normally gets me around the 145 miles mark before needing to look for fuel which is okay for Europe as there's normally an abundance of fuel stations. The seat is a KTM power parts seat and it's more comfortable than the standard seat but still not great but riding off road. It doesn't seem to bother me too much. I wouldn't mind a seat concept seat but they're very expensive and take a while to get here in the UK. Hope you have a great ride on the TAT, I ride I would love to do 🤘🏻

Thanks, I'm 5.7 or 173/4 cm

Yes, there are the occasional tough'ish sections but they are short and almost always have an alternative route most are easily ridable even on a large adventure bike. There are many legal off-road tracks off the TET route and this part of Spain was stunning. The end of August will be very warm 🥵 be prepared and enjoy you'll love this area

@@gnarlybadger690 Thanks a lot for the great feedback! I know it's going to be super hot but I don't have much choice 🫠 haha.. after Compostela im going down Portugal and then I'll be in Morocco in September, when it cools off a bit 🙌 cheers!!

@@backtofitzgerald00 now that sounds like a amazing trip, ride safe 🤘🏻

For the Trans Euro Trail the 690/701 and now also the 700 GasGas are hard to beat, a very versatile and capable machine 👍🏻

I'm 5' 7" or 1:73m and I'm comfortable with at least one foot flat on the floor at the road junctions and in traffic on the trail it is perfect for me

Thanks, I have replaced the subframe bolts with the Rally Raid replacement parts www.rally-raidproducts.co.uk/ktm-2014-690-enduro-lower-tank-mount www.rally-raidproducts.co.uk/ktm-690-subframe-tank-mounting-bolts

@@gnarlybadger690 Thank you so much for that!!!

Hi, thanks for watching. I'm 5.8 in feet and inches or 178 ish cm I've installed a 25mm lowering link and dropped the forks accordingly to keep the geometry of the bike and find this works well for me.hope this is of some help 👍🏻

Thanks, the gpx we had was not brilliant as it had some dead ends and took some working out but a lot of what we rode is available on the TET app or website. I have the correct gpx for it now but not sure how I'd send it to you 🤷🏻

On this trip I had the Moto Z Rallz on, I ran tubes and had no issues with punctures and they covered the 2300 miles with loads of life left in them

@@gnarlybadger690 outstanding. Thank you
