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

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..

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..

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..

Hahaha!! I started with abutter knife a few videos ago and I'm impressed you have noticed! haha

Dude I found a hell of a good spot.. I still suck but at least I know I'm in a fresh environment ahahah

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??

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

A secret spot.. it's at 61 Kartway in Iowa

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!

Engine was in piece but finally back in shape! It's just nice knowing that it's running haha

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!

Just got me a big ol 450 hahaha but I would love another dirt bike to throw around..

My stupid ass not checking everything hahaha

@@LifeWellRidden 😂

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??

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

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

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!!

Right!! Guess I have to buy a new street bike..

YESS hahahah I hate that!!!

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

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...

I got sent to school by these guys hahah I have SO much to work on..

Hahaha I'm excited to see the final result for sure!!

Agreed! Track weekends are epic in this thing!

Hand's down wayyy more fun!

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)

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

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!

@@Arshumness you are welcome!! I actually watched a video of a true professional explaining it and it’s sort of the same thing, I’ll add a link to that video!

@@Arshumness ua-cam.com/video/ENOqdSfNcT4/v-deo.htmlsi=Sc3NTuZpHzP8jEhg

@@LifeWellRidden awesome!

Where are you racing

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

It was EPIC!!! Thank you for the invite!!

It rips! Damn didn't think it would be this much fun hahaha

Hahahah not to mention the bikes with hot exhausts.. windows open and your fine I haven't even noticed.. or I'm just high as sh@! when I drive..

Cant help myself!
