Ciao Will, watch this video of an Italian company ( Rebel X Sport ) on this bike the air filter box have another position (to be able to change it without removing the tank ...) maybe they sell this airbox. ua-cam.com/video/8uAuccz_9AM/v-deo.html
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Wyatt Gibson instablaster ;)
@Jacoby Jeremias i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jacoby Jeremias It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
That exhaust is why this bike is legal in numerous countries, that isn't KTM causing this problem, it is government.
The reason the muffler is so big and heavy is because they integrated a catalytic converter with the muffler starting with euro 4 emissions. That’s also why it gets so hot. Aftermarket muffler is a must on almost every new bike in my opinion though.
Agree with Curtis Xavier. There are necessary mods that must be immediately placed on this bike. Exhaust is one of those. KTM was forced to do so to make it a 50 state bike regarding emissions. If you can’t afford the mods, then stick with the POS Honda XR650 ha ha!
It is convenient that the CAT is integrated into the muffler instead of in the header somewhere, as it is simple to get rid of it. 😆
The 701 is a fantastic bike, and I’m very happy with mine. It does however, like you point out, need some aftermarket goodies to perform to its potential, but it’s the same with all bikes 🙂
Papar air filters outperform foam... at filtration. That advantage only increases as service intervals lengthen. I’d not use a foam filter on a bike with 6000 mile service intervals and a long expected engine life. Foam flows better for increased power... but I just use it on track bikes not bikes that will see a lot of miles. For dirt bikes that will see frequent engine rebuilds foam makes sense... but the 701 is supposed to have a longer time between rebuilds and the poor filtration efficiency of foam could become an issue.
Beautifully put ❤
You forgot to mention the pipe melting \ burning turn signal! 😩
I have an answer to all your questions: Because there is an aftermarket for accessories 🤣
No bark busters. No crash bars. No case plate. Tf were you thinking? These are mods literally every person that buys an offroad bike factors into the price of a new bike. 😂😂😂😂
...... thanks for your commentary. You definitely have valid points. For some time I've been researching dual sport motorbikes for my first purchase. I'm under the impression imperfection is engineered for the after market industry. My apologies I don't mean to offend.
yeah dude too bad husqvarna doesnt give the rights to other company to make stuff for their bikes, for example if you want to change a plastic kit the only one available is the OEM and it costs like a lot, there are some fixes out there but not for all the problems, the engine has got some weaknesses that cant be fixed for example
All good points. Thank you 👍
Actually the massive exhaust can does make sense. KTM have to put a CAT somewhere and so they put it in a can that they know everyone will discard on day one. If they put it under the engine like the T7 it is much more difficult to get rid o and makes the bike heavier than i needs to be. That said, it is dangerously hot and they should fit with a heat guard even if just to protect the owner long enough until it is replaced.
Thank you very much for what seems to be a pretty honest video as per why those recent bikes can also sometimes be disappointing and not up to our expectations
Thanks for the great informative video!
Where did you get the windshield?
thanks for watching guys! not much I can find bad about the 701 enduro, so these are the small picks that I dislike about the 701. not much I can find as this is one hell of a machine!
These are big gripes ...pass
5 things I Hate=clickbait...
@@nicktaylor7680 then I advise you to stay away from youtube, instagram, and any kind of media/news channel.
The exhaust part may be fixed with a richer air to fuel ratio. My 800GS ran at the "optimal" 14.7:1 for emissions purposes. I put in an AFXIED to adjust AFR to around 14.1 so it would not stall as easily, but a side benefit is that it runs cooler as well.
I give you more: the light of the front lamp is just as weak, as the connection points of it. LED should be the stock solution. 2, You cant switch of the front ABS. 3, The side stand sensor can easily get you in trouble, when you cant start the bike becouse of it in the middle of nowhere. Other than that and your list, its a perfect bike for dual sport riding.
The Australian models don’t get paper filers but a form pod one
Hey bro! The steel screws of your windshield helped to an unexpexted catastrophic failure. Usually they are made of plastic/nylon ones, its kinda mechanical fuse. The windscreen work as a lever that increase the forces to broke it and everything attached to it, and, thats why nylon screws should came into action. Have a look on some oem windshield, specially Japanese ones.
The 701 LR is tempting for what I ride. Unfortunately mostly road with dirt bits here and there. My KLX will have to d for now though.
Well said that man 👍
You forgot about the ridiculous fuel cap, these can be fixed by an aftermarket solution. But the standard solution easily allow dirt to fall into the tank.
Isn't the pipe a function of California emission standards?
The exhaust pipe is big, heavy and hot but not that bad at all. Most of the aftermarket Exhaust bring less power, then the stock one. This is due to the lack of volume and if its one thing that emissions restricted 1 cylinder love is volume in the pipe. Totally agree with you the over complicated assembly of some things and the lack of protection
What’s the service intervals for this bike. Looking for something with more pep than my drz. But not tryna do crazy maintaince all the time
Great content. I wish you the best of luck mate.
When I bought my 2022 te300i the Guy at the dealer told me the 690 ktm ( husqvarna 701 ) are made by cf moto in Taiwan
Good point mate definently in need of some quality accessories I have a 690R and a 790R I'm selling the 790 in favour of the smaller more fun machine anyway I was making a tail tidy out of all the excessive plastic number plate holder on the 690 R and noticed that the tail peice is in many different sections and if you did happen to flip the bike or have it fall back on the tail for some reason it would be like pushing a self destruct button
Sweet bike! Did they update any of that stuff for the new ones? How does she do off road, does it feel super heavy?
Thanks dude. It actually feels fine on dirt roads and 50in trails. You def do feel the weight on single track though when it gets tight or technical.
@@RWWRENTAL ...and when you have to pick them up on side of hill above tree line :)
I changed the handguards the exhaust pipe and a few things more on mine
In Europe you need a big exhaust Volume for noise regulation.
I have a 701 sm and i wonder why it didnt come with engine guard protection.
All about small cost cutting that makes their accessories department money.....but for the premium price I have to agree with you.
I've got a pretty good leak on mine right now. Waiting for something to come in the mail I ordered and then taking to the shop to get fixed
so actually my clutch cylinder went out. turned out I have the notorious defective part lol. was wondering if that what went out for you
@@RWWRENTAL yes it did. The master cylinder? I got stuck at 30th and Garden of Gods with a nearly dead phone. Luckily, a guy on 701 super moto happened to come by, went home, grabbed his truck, loaded me up and took me all the way home to Falcon...wouldn't even take gas money I offered. Some heroes don't wear capes
@@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles was it only your clutch cylinder that gave out? If so why did you have to get rescued, can't you drive it back without a clutch?
Bro you have been unlucky when you crashed, I hit a pond and did a front flip, the bike went inside a ditch,not even a scratch, luckily I landed on the near field, did about 4 meters of air travel there, I was going 70 kmh ish
KTM makes bike cheaper and cheaper each year, yet they're getting more expensive LOL
Wanna sell it? I can't find one new or used in Colorado, waiting for the 2021's to come in stock.
I like to put all the Dakar rallye parts on my 701, but mostly I then just look at how purty it is...
Before you ride the bike out of the show room you need to sort out the protection.Saves time and money in the long run.Thks.
Hey!
I am looking for a motorcycle that can handle both normal and off-road tracks (rocks, mud etc.). For now I am thinking of two models, the Husqvarna 701 and the Yamaha Tenere 700. Which one will do better? This will be my first off-road motorcycle. Unless there's something better than these two?
I always say 3 different models, T7 701enduro/XR650R or KTM500
If mostly doing highways, and only doing county roads and basic trails, T7 will be way more comfortable, also less maintenance. When it comes to the 701, great machine like a giant dirt bike that can actually do tight single, just change the tires for some knobbies if doing mostly 50 50 with some single track in there. 500 is mostly doing trails and single track
The exhaust is so big because the catalytic converter is inside - it gets as hot as the face of the sun! Chuck it & buy a Wings!
totaly agree!!
Stock exhaust doesn't get that hot if you install the exhaust dongle
Thanks
Hating a because is has in stock form open handguards? ?
I'm thinking of trading in my wr250r for a 501 or 701. What are your thoughts?
all 3 bikes are great! 501 if you are looking to venture out into more technical single track, rockier trails. 701 shines on forest roads and faster paced trail riding. its a lot more comfortable.
Isn’t the paper air filter designed for sand in desert riding ?
What kind of windscreen do you have???
I hate the radiator has no protection twisted it within the first few hundred miles offroad
Not much to see here except an owner whinging about things most people swap out anyway on whatever bike you chose such as fitting Barkbusters and an aftermarket pipe.
Plenty of other 701 enduro video to see. move on. And no, I am not "whining". you must not get the point of the video. SO you are saying I am in the wrong for a 10 -12k bike to include some little extra beefier stuff? no shit most people already swap out all this stuff as it is...which you truly didn't get the point of this video. Let me put it in elementary terms for you...THERE WAS NOT MUCH NEGATIVE I can find on the 701 enduro but for the price tag of a premium bike, why dont they just add it. In other words...its a great bike
he is right and the 701 is the most expencive!
Or just change the filter, handguards etc like you would on any endurobike. Buy a proper radiator guard like you would on any endurobike. Throw away the stock exhaust. Like you would on any endurobike.. Or buy an touringbike like the T7 or something like that where the fairing costs as much as a new bike. Great video though!
haha pretty much! so in other words, this bike is great all around and not many weak points except whoever its intended for
You said it! I’ve had two now and I haven’t had any major issues so far and I’ve ridden them quite hard. However - you are right. I have full of broken plastic, but it’s cheap so I don’t really care.
agree
While your not wrong in anything you pointed out but the Fairing mounts are the biggest let down. All else is normal in my opinion. The fact that we can have a 70hp sub 350lb bike for let's say $12k that i will gladly pay is more than fair for the "Niggles" it has.
thank to emission crazy regulation for that POS pipe LOL regarding better handgards - 20$ multiple by 100k units sold and you get 2 million dollars :) so now you know why they don't put this on stock.
haha very true!! yeah greedy companies :( it is what it is. thanks for watching mate!
I did choose between the 701E and the tenere700...and ended up with the T700...wrong descision....if you consider the 701E as weak read the comments from the ones who have fell over with the T7...
I dont consider the 701 enduro weak what so ever. But if I had to pick between the 2, I think I would have gotten the t7. regardless I got the 701 way before the T7 was available.
@@RWWRENTAL i just sold mine t7 after 2000kms...buying a 701SM now
@@Parakitedude any regrets with the T7? im undecided if I should keep mine or sell it. the 701 enduro has great power though for our mining passes, which I ride a lot of.
@@RWWRENTAL I think it is a bike that has a very good engine. But I do not like the angle of the swing arm, I dislike that the bike seems to be to weak for real offroad. If you just drop the bike it will get damages on the exhaust. There are no protection at all on the exhaust when the bike is on the side.For me it feels as it is more of a city bike.
I think it's the rider
So basically nothing important and something you would change on the bike either way? :)
haha pretty much! the only important part I would say is how the fairings are held up and radiator, but I know you can essentially add crash guards but I know most people dont to save weight
Think about it. Doesn't take a smart person. You want and need week points. Just like a car, no need to have a bull bar stronger than the car. Just means more damage else where. Also company can make profit on parts.
you are 100% correct! they do need to add weak points, but at that price tag they should at least include quality bark busters lol
All great points!
they could have made the perfect bike but made it out of way too much plastic. sole reason i did not buy one of these.
you didnt mention the crap explor suspension that KTM and Husky use which just blows through the mid stroke and at any pace the bike dives and wallows. not confidence inspiring
very true, I had to get mine revalved. on my 2 stroke im really aggressive and I cant hit roots and rocks head on. popping the clutch every 10 seconds is dead tiring as well.
Should have just gotten a T700
well...got this 701 way back before T7 came out lol. but I should have waited for the T7. I might buy one as soon as the market slows down
Wow seems whack for 10k bike . I stick with my wr250r
well they are kind of aimed for different audiences. wr250r is a much better offroad bike vs the 701. if the wr250r ever came out with a wr350 or even 450r I would be all over that. it is kind of what I am waiting for. unfortunately I need the power of the 701 riding in high elevation trails. bring a wr250r up to mt antero and it wont make it up with its steep grade and 14k ft elevation. 701 is much better on road as well vs the wr250r. but for more technical riding and single track and reliability wr250r is the way to go. I do hope they make a 350 or 450 one day. think it will be the best selling bike ever
RideWithWill do you think a geared down WR250R would still struggle at high elevations?
@@quikboarder93 A wr250r can def handle just about any trails in CO, however, I think in Mt Antero it will be a bit of a struggle towards the peak because of its thin air. I think it will make it, but it will def be a 1st gear ride and for you sure you will need at least 13/50. I rode a wr250r and it does have slight more power of the KLX250, but a bit lower than the wr250F. as for other passes, you should be fine putting along 2nd gear where as a klx250 will need to be in 1st gear most of its way.
I just sold my WR and will get a 701 this winter, natural progression I guess...I thought I would want a T7 but after seeing it and sitting on it, the bike is too heavy for my style of multi day rides.
@@RWWRENTAL would a 450 be able to cruise comfortably on the highway at 75 or more miles per hour? Would it be able to do so carrying two up? Are any of them built for high mileage and low maintenance reliability and have plenty of oil capacity?
It seems like we're stuck between a lightweight dirt bike with license plates, gargantuas heavy adventure bike that you can't even pick up if you're alone.
A lot of us don't care about trying to compete or drive like a racer Offroad, we just want to explore and have a good time stop being stressed out about dropping the bike, and be able to cruise on the highway back home, sometimes your partner on back
I had an XT 600 that only weighed 300 pounds and would do that quite well for the day and top out over 100 mph, It seems like we should have a drastic improvement over that today, sounds like the 701 is the bike?
Any modern bike disintegrates in a crash. All plastic veneer and cheap alloy. Profits v durability. Such is modern life...until we send a clear message and stop buying them they will continue to erode quality.
you are right. it seems most modern dualsport get wrecked pretty hard in a decent crash. even my TE250i cracked the rear subframe when I sent it flying. they dont make them like they used to. Perhaps my next bike will be a YZ250x I think yamaha still builds it traditionally
Reasons to not spend 12k on an off brand. 450 honda
You cannot even sell it, nobody buys them, after some years you will not find spare parts,same for KTM and all this wird family
Lol crashes bike n complains head lights break.
Starts off the video saying "one of my favorites" and then whines about simple little BS issues. Every moto is going to have some weak points.
Just bored the nuts off me in 30 seconds, get your butt on a MX bike or just don’t crash! Or take up dancing.
THIS DUDE SOUNDS TOO MEXICAN TO BE A TRUE AMERICAN. CITIZEN OR NOT
You must be a special kind of stupid and honestly feel sorry for you with the kind of mentality you have.
1. I am not even Mexican nor Have any family history with Mexican descent.
2. It's 2021 and you are still pulling racism?
3. People in this world hate your train of thought.
Good luck in life, you will need it.
