When i see people making top mods clips.. but not mentioning the absolute mod nr 1. Full evo 2 kit...😅
I'm curious about the information about the bike mirror.
Jones Elizabeth Anderson Melissa Johnson Thomas
It's hard to take serious an advice from a guy riding a sumo 85mph with bicycle gloves and no armoured jacket.
Agreed.. I'm sure there are plenty of other people out there that have a better understanding but hey, use it as just another resource to keep the information flowing!
@@LifeWellRidden excellent answer
just leave the motor at stock and not making it over-act with power commander etc. its not build for it. too much pressure on the engine. so the drama leads to you in my opinion.
I could agree with that, messing with anything from the factory can cause issues BUT I didn't have this thing set to kill, I don't have the hottest map on here or even a custom tune and a majority of the mods that can be done are simple bolt-ons that MAYBE add 4-5 hp.. if a motor cant handle that then I question what really goes on for a "ready to race" bike. At the end of the day it seems like an engineering failure regardless of the power but then again who knows..
Those look clean! Hopefully they are bright enough for the idiots in the cases to see and not run you over
They are pretty damn bright but people never look up from their phones..
@@LifeWellRidden very good point! I still have stock fronts and nobody pays attention to what we are doing
@@22smcrrider96 so true.. we need to beam lights directly through the front window but even still the amount of heads up displays and driver assists make our life hell..
I dont know how you did it originally, but i would always suggest to cut the wires from your original blinkers rather than the whole harness. That way you always have a connector to use for easy plug on and offs + I would guess if needed its cheaper to buy just the original blinkers than the whole wiring harness
That is something I probably should have thought of haha But I don't remember ever finding a "plug" for these even tracing them into the wiring harness..
Why even bother riding if you cant even do a power wheelie😂
That's a great mic boom.🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha!! I started with abutter knife a few videos ago and I'm impressed you have noticed! haha
What I envy about you more than anything else is that spacious, clean and safe practice space!🤘🤘🤘
Dude I found a hell of a good spot.. I still suck but at least I know I'm in a fresh environment ahahah
Kinda off topic, but the throttle spacers for 36 bucks are one of many reasons why I got myself a 3d printer as I printed these for literally two cents. Another neat thing I did are caps for the ugly a§§ bolts on the handlebars and fork, but also the mudflap.
Dang that's the way to do it!! I don't have the computer know how to build them digitally with math and things to get them printed haha What other fun things you print for the 690??
How was it loading the bike by yourself? Another channel reviewed the bike and he said it was a two-person job since the front wheel chock doesn't really hold the wheel steady. But his bike was heavier than yours and his hitch was higher than yours so that might have something to do with it. I'm considering the Ace since I can fold down my car's seats and chuck it in the back when I need to bring it somewhere and don't want to tow it empty on the way over, Being able to load it on my own is pretty much a requirement (though maybe needing a second pair of hands will finally give me a reason to meet some of my neighbors).
Good question! I think it comes down to the type of bike you ride. I will say, with my 690 I could do it by myself IF I hooked up the straps and left them within a reachable distance. The front chock does not hold the bike upright nor do you have a good spot to put the kick stand down to hold the bike up. If you have anything heavier (or larger) than a sport bike or even 690 Sumo then I would suggest a 2nd person.. If you got a Harley then I pray you have at least 3 people hahahah
Frfr
Where is this?
A secret spot.. it's at 61 Kartway in Iowa
Nice you got a sumo track. Do a track day or go to school. My first sumo was 08 drz400sm then later i got a 2015 crf450r and it was my favorites bike. Its nice to have a honda in track bc everybody now has ktm and husky lol. If you live in SoCal you should do a supermoto class
I have been contemplating a school.. but there really aren't any in Chicago area, I think more seat time will help a ton and hopefully going to kart tracks near me will help! But so far this CRF is awesome hahah
@@LifeWellRidden lol yup more time in the track. Well if you come down here socal they have a lot of tracks here. Have fun on the bike man. Those crf are fast and smooth.
@@Desertrider47 where in socal do you ride?? I’m trying to plan a trip out west for a family visit and may bring the bike but it’s been a dream so far!
@@LifeWellRidden in socal we have socal supermoto school they have IG. Apex racing center they dont have a school but its a good place to practice.
@@Desertrider47 Yes! Ill have to check them out! Thank you!
What is happening? Engine rip?
Engine was in piece but finally back in shape! It's just nice knowing that it's running haha
Always wanted to start a channel but it would be pointless as I've nowhere near enough time. Kids and life lol. But I'd always wanted to do some shots as my intro like how FastlaneD does. Think that's cool af. City lights and edits etc.
We are in the same boat man! Kids and life get in the way so I usually only spend about an hour to maybe 3 max filming and then have to edit in the late hours of the night to get things accomplished. If you plan your time out you will be surprised with what you can get done! I believe in ya!
Buy a cheap 250 to fuck around and practice with
Just got me a big ol 450 hahaha but I would love another dirt bike to throw around..
Makes sense. 🤷🏻♂️ lol. Has to be that.
My stupid ass not checking everything hahaha
@@LifeWellRidden 😂
Tacomoto makes plug and play fork wrap turn signals. No wiring needed and very bright
Dammit!! How come I aint never seen this guy??? That would have been so helpful! But then again, thinking back I don't remember if I had any plugs in the factory place??
Zeta makes handlebar clamps that allow space for the master to fit with the guards. I just did the same setup, the part number is ZE71-1613
Ugh.. haha I figured they would but then again I don't mind a change in scenery haha I sorta like the way more open front end but it makes the bars feel really really low..
@@LifeWellRidden the lever guards look cool, but they definitely don’t offer as much protection on track, I’ve had guys reach over while racing and try and grab my front brake or kill switch me before. With the wrap around it’s almost impossible.
@@donglidemoto6121 Dang good to know! I hope people don't start reaching for my bars, hell they are passing me anyway hahah
Why do you need to delete the handguards actually? Not a great look for the bike. And the new break fluid reservoir looks kinda ghetto imo😅 But I the braking upgrade must be nice
I really didnt.. I probably could have spaced them out with some washers or a new part from Zeta but to be honest I wanted to switch it up a bit, try something new! I would have to agree with you, the reservoir IS ghetto hahaha like it wiggles around while you ride and you see all the fluid slosh around and it seems like cheap ass plastic hahahaha But I will have to say, regardless of the pain in the ass to install it is worth it!
@@LifeWellRidden Go for Rotty Reservoir. My 23 had the Brembo reservoir and switched to rotty. Much cleaner. I have the Brembo master and Stylema caliper. No mirror mount, but whatevs since youre using other mirrors. I also have the Zeta clamps and spacer for the handguards, but I have barkbusters
@@steve7572 The Rott one looks nice, I should have ordered with the kit but I think I will switch back to the bark busters.. the look is cool but not so much supermoto anymore hahah
What exhaust shield is that? Never seen anything that goes all the Way to the end of the manifold
It's the P3 Max shield, I'll throw a link in here for it! BUT you can only use it with the factory header, the Tekmo one wont work.. Guard - p3carbon.com/products/p3-heat-shield_ktm_690-enduro-smc_2019-2022?rq=mk_ktm~md_690~yr_2021

Hahahah so much joy!!
Thanks for the video. Now you have two track bikes
Right!! Guess I have to buy a new street bike..
Nah bro when you on the highway and you get that itch on the top of your head so you start moving the helmet trying to itch it cause you can’t take the helmet off😂
YESS hahahah I hate that!!!
Congrats on the new ride! Can't wait to see it in action on the track! We sent you an email, check it out!
@LifeWellRidden awesome. Definitely looking forward to the new video! Hope you also making one comparing what the 690 is like vs a 450 on track. I can only imagine the 450 is way better track weapon lighter and easier to throw around all without stressing over damaging a 20K bike
Are you reading my mind?? Haha I am editing that exact video as we speak... I hope I do it justice!!
@@LifeWellRidden idk bro I guess us supermoto/SMCR riders think alike! Looking forward to it brother
Ok so i gotta ask How much more fun is that than the big tracks?
Ya know.. I thought this was gunna be easy to answer BUT I have a whole video coming out on this (still editing).. The kart track is cheap ($25) and is soooo quick that you have no time to think, with the lower overall speeds you get to work on more fundamentals like braking zones, body position, etc.. Also the one I go to now does not have any regulatory body and you can take AS MANY sessions as you would like! BUT A full size track allows you to really stretch your bike to the edge of speed, gives you more time to think and setup for turns AND there is no better feeling than hauling 110mph+ into a corner and getting on the brakes hard to be able to click through all 6 gears at wide open throttle.. I would have to say kart track is the winner (for right now) because its definitely more skill based, if you are fast at a kart track you will be crazy fast at a "full size" track compared to the guy who has a 1000cc on the 1.3 mile long straights...
Sick. Looks like you can learn a thing or 2 from them! I know I sure could
I got sent to school by these guys hahah I have SO much to work on..
I drove one or a bigger one when I was in Florida in 2019. Roads are mad the if I miss a junction theres loads of routes over the grass😅😅😅
Bruhhhh no way you never just went on amazon or ebay for the tool lol. Cheaper than a uhaul and time wasted surely lol😅😅😅 got me in funnies here lol. Mad man.
The edits got me LOLin😅😅😅 Making my way through all the videos mate 😅🤙🏻 In love with mine I mean i had a 197bhp S1000R but this hits different. Also deep clean today but ordered some bit's already lol. But so easy to work on. .ines has so mich fone already whoch is why I got it. Foundations are laid🤙🏻
Hahaha I'm excited to see the final result for sure!!
Dopeeee
You can also live in it if you’re homless for a while
Agreed! Track weekends are epic in this thing!
How you liking the smaller track? Looks awesome bro
Hand's down wayyy more fun!
That's why I ride a 2006 Husqvarna SM610, which is a real super moto without sensors that help you ride.
Dude the non-sensor/ABS/Ride Mode life is incredible!! Sooo much better like I wonder why we need them?? Just learn to ride the bike and you wont need them! (So that means I need to learn a lot more haha)
Which will you be running at Blackhawk at the end of August?
I'm bringing both... I'm gunna try to run the KTM on Saturday and Honda on Sunday then decide which I like better for Monday. I'm going to assume the KTM since its a "bigger" track.. but we will see! Both bikes will be in the van haha
How do you back it in? Is it a combination of clutch and rear brake?
I am no expert at this hahah but I will try to explain from my experience.. so basically start by going into a corner HOT, grab a ton of front brake to unload the rear end, while you grab the front brake drop 2 gears quickly and dump the clutch with a little bit of rear brake. The violence in dropping 2 gears and dumping the clutch causes the wheel to spin and :lose traction" i.e. why it chatters so much because the clutch is fighting itself. You can then start to dial in the slide by feathering the clutch and the rear brake, more clutch = less slide, more rear brake = wider slide and so on. It comes down to practice but think of it simply - Front brake/drop 2 gears/dump clutch/feather rear brake + clutch
@@LifeWellRidden super helpful, thank you!

SOOOOO much cheaper! I mean it's an expensive sport/hobby but $400 for a set fo tires compared to what $1,800+ for a car?! nahhhh hahah that alone covers half the cost of my Honda!!
I ride at any kart track available for the day or being located in IL I go to Blackhawk Raceway or Autobahn
Yessir! ‘Twas an awesome day
It was EPIC!!! Thank you for the invite!!
old honda runs good !

Cool 😎
I love vans because the drive is so smooth when your huffing gas fumes from the cans right behind the seat.
