2014 KTM 690 Enduro, Offroad ABS Dongle Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Special thanks to KGSloan on Advrider.com that explained how to operate the "secret" Base Modes with the kill switch. This is not explained anywhere in KTM's instructions.
In the box that you get with this Offroad ABS/Bad Fuel Dongle there was an instruction that shows how to install the Dongle to the KTM 1190 Adventure and the 690 SMC. The 2014 690 Enduro differs in how to install the Dongle and that is not included in the paper instruction for now. However at KTM's official site you can find an electronic instruction that show how to install the Dongle on the Enduro modell.
Kill switch on / Ignition on / Start = Bike starts with Offroad ABS Mode / ABS Front Only
Kill switch off / Ignition on / Kill switch on / Start = Full ABS / ABS both front and rear.
From both modes you can push button No. 3 on the Dash Board to dissable the ABS completely without turn off the ignition.
There is no memory in this function what have experienced.
ABS light, no flash = Full ABS mode
ABS light, Flashes slowly = Offroad ABS mode
ABS light, Flashes fast = No ABS
Thank you very much, I had my bike with full abs mode and thought my dongle was HS. Even my KTM retailer told me that once the dongle is plugged it's either off road or without abs but no possibility to ride with full abs again.
Thanks to you I can fully use the option I bought 😁
You rock 🤘
Ohh, happy to have been helpful then! Thanks. Dealers could sometimes or unfortunately be very narrow in their passion for what they actually should offer. Full passion service and interest of their products. But they have their days full of the business to work on the other side, we all know how it is. There is where we google and YT dudes chim in and complement! 😂🙌💪
I've been looking for info on this dongle for 3 days, no luck, THANKS for the info, now i can install on use it. My directions didn't even mention how to install in the 690. you're a life saver.
Thanks for your comment!
Thank you for posting...I've been having issues with the dongle on my 2018 690...I tried it today and that function is still the same for the 2018 model...thank you
Thanks for your update! I'm sure that this will help others with the latest model years. 👍
Thanks - brilliantly clear....... KTM get your act together !
Thanks! I agree KTM should be clear on the functionality.
Big thanks Mattias. I will try these functions tomorrow. After it was installed by the dealer I read the instructions and it stated that there are only 2 possible options: Front wheel only ABS and no ABS. I was immediately shocked that the instructions indicated that there was no longer a 2 wheel ABS option. I am hoping you instructions work tomorrow. Thanks for putting this video together.
Thanks for your post Adrian! I'm sure you will find out that you can reach all functions as described. Remarkable that KTM does not include a complete instruction. I have found myself riding with the offroad mode in all situations, in mud, on gravel and on asphalt. Even on steep downhills. It is simple the best mode for me and makes the dongle absolutely worth to install.
Thanks for taking the time, works precisely as you say, the documentation still lacks any explanation in regards to it. 👍
R1200GS_Unstoppable Thanks for your comment. Do you still have the unstoppable GS beside the 690 in the garage? I do and these bikes complement eacho ther perfectly.
Very valuable information; thanks for sharing!! I recently added the dongle to my 690 and couldn't figure out why sometimes the rear ABS would be on. Now I know!!
Eric Hannesson thanks for Your comment! The winter is making med sick and loonging for a ride with my machine.
Great video Mattias, just received my dongle and was scratching my head on changing functions. Thanks for the help!
Thank you very much for explaining this process to the rest of us 690 riders. I'll put it to good use this upcoming week in Baja.
Thanks for watching, my pleasure if you find this helpful :)
Thanks Mattias. Very helpful video on the various ABS options for the KTM 690 Enduro R. I enjoy your UA-cam videos. Fellow ADV inmate. Thanks.
Thanks mate!
Just bought a 14 and a dongle and this is perfect, thankyou. :)
Thanks for watching and congrats to a great bike for fun and adventures!
Nice to hear such a clear explanation... I am looking at the 690 and it seems to have all the same issues as the 990 only lighter weight. I can live with that.
Its nice to take rear abs off. I seem to forget to turn abs off when i went off road with mine. Almost lost her a few times lol. Take care my friend.
Yes Marc, I really like the Offroad mode and the bike starts in this mode, so I don't have to worry about fogey ting it :) Thanks and ride on!
PS. I had a great ride this weekend with friends on forest tracks in Swedens "adventure heaven" Värmland ;P
great video did it today on my 2014 works great
Great information, thank you!
Thanks, glad to help! Happy trails 🙌
Excellent job! Thank you very much! Nice bike.
thanks Bob!
OMG Im so glad I found this!!
Ha! This is cool i'm haopy that my old video still helps fellow riders out there 🙌. Happy trails!
Hej! Great video. I have the abs dongle installed and either with or without the kill switch on/off I have always only offroad abs. No chance to get the abs fully enabled with dongle and kill switch off trick. Have ktm 690 Enduro 2014. Any ideas? :-)
Thanks, no other idea than if tiu have had any software updates on the bike. But this should work, this is the first time i hear that it does not work on a 2014.
Great info.... Thanks!
Thank for watching and comment!
Exactly the info I needed, THANK YOU!!!
You are Wellcome!
I have 2020 690 Enduro R. The Dongle was installed when I bought the bike from the original owner. I am in the US. I cannot get the bike to do anything but work in the off road mode (or off). The kill switch does not change the mode. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks
Unfortunately not, should be a new version on the -20 model? Probably not the same function, but there could be other ways? Nothing on Advrider on this?
Thanks for the tips
My pleasure 🙌
Fantastic, thank you
My pleasure, happy if it helps 👌
Any Idea if this works on 2020sm model 701? Thanks for sharing!
Not sure, hope someone with a newer 701 could answer.
Mattias, I ordered a dongle as part of my 2015 690R purchase, but it is backordered from KTM. It looks like I'll not have it for my ride in Moab, Utah this March. On another topic, I noticed you have a Garmin Astro 320 on your bike. Are you using that to keep track of your fellow riders, assuming each one has their own dog collar attached to their bikes? I happen to have an earlier Astro 220 that I used to located several high powered rockets that would land a mile or more away when they landed. This is an interesting twist to using the dog tracker to find where your buddies are if they get lost. Very clever. For those of you who don't know what the heck I'm talking about, the Astro 220/320 can track 10 dogs with radio collars and the batteries last 18 hours. I've written several magazine articles that were published on rocketry applications.
Tele Rover, hehe you are observant. I have had the same thought about to fasten a collar on riding buddys, but I have never used it that way. I normally use the 320 when hunting small games and deers/moose with my hunting dog. He is a scent/tracking dog that keeps track and barking at the games for about an hour before backtracking back to me (unless me and my buddies shoot the game). Very nice to see where the dog are in the terrain. Good idea to keep track on each other when riding too I think, but normally I use a Zumo 550 on the bar. I,m sure you will enjoy your 690 when it arrives :)
Matthias,
I'm in the process of breaking in the 690R in between snow storms. Just no dongle. You can see my you tube videos, which includes my Australian Shepherd, Deacon, who rides with me about half the time with me, here in Colorado and Utah.
That's cool! I will check out your yt-channel :)
Hey Mattias - thanks for posting this, as well as all the great follow-up comments. One more question: do you know of any way to have abs completely turned off at all times, even after turning bike on and off with ignition switch? I ride aggressive and difficult dirt in Southern California and would like to be able to have it off all day, after short breaks, etc., and not have to push the button on the dash to kill the front wheel abs.
Hi, thanks for Your comment! sorry to say that I have not found a function for this. that would be nice to have that option. However, I have found it very useful ta have it start in offroad mode as default. It has saved me a couple of times ;)
You could probably pull the fuse for the ABS system if it isn't shared with other things. My 2016 owners manual shows that the ABS is Fuse 9 [10 Amp fuse]
Jason Ferrier tanks for Your input, exactly that was my thought too when rereading this post. Should work!
Thank you! KTM's instructions are rubbish. The photos are poor, and it says to "join dongle with diagnostics connector." But they don't explicitly tell you which is the diagnostics connector.
Thomas Carlson thanks for your comment!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching Joey!
im a stoppie man..long long distance stoppies...just bought a,2014 690 smcr do i need a dongle???? i turned ignition on and pressed abs button for 3 seconds...my back end came up braking hard...did i turn abs off hmmm..i wanna buy 1 to make sure
Thanks for Your comment. The dongle works in the way that you always start in offroad abs mode. Which is nice if you mostly ride on gravel/dirt. If you do black top most of the time you don't need this. I loved it though. My 790 has this function built in.
Thanks!
Mattias, thank you very much for your video. I can’t seem to make this work on my 2019. I am specifically not able to enable ABS on the front and rear wheel. Your Killswitch suggestion does not work on the 2019’s, at least not on mine. I wonder if you or any of your subscribers have any ideas? My local dealer is clueless! In the meantime I am riding on the road with no rear ABS, this doesn’t worry me except as you mentioned on the road with wet conditions. Thank you!
Thanks Mike, havn't read the manual yet but here is a link mobil.ktmshop.se/index.php?action=showDocuments&id=2817
On my model year, the switch trick only works if the optional abs dongle is installed. Keep us updated if you find out the functions!
did you manage in the end?
Thanks
qinao coexist You are welcome qinao!
Brilliant! It works. Curious how you figured this out because it is not intuitive.
Also, I like the Motonaut luggage, unfortunately it does not appear to be available in Canada and the USA yet. Huge market for them if them decide to sell here.
Thanks
All cred for finding out the super secret function goes to an Advrider inmate, he described it in writing in a thread. Motonaut suits me well, simpel an rough. I'm not sure why they don't go for the US/Canada market, sure that would boost the sales. Happy trials!
I bought the 2014 690 as well and i dont have 3 abs modes.. Its either off or on, i dont have a offroad mode where its just the front brake abs...
T-dogg, you need to install the optional Offroad Dongle to get the full functions. You can find the Dongle at your dealer. Install it as I show in this vid. Merry Christmas!
Tjenare Mattias. köpte en 701 enduro igår. Vet du om det är samma kille switch trick man måste anväda på den för att få abs dongle att funka?
Bo B. Jacobsen Hej Bo, inte en aning. Bäst att höra med handlaren, men risken är stor att de inte heller vet. Om du har nära till nån som har donglen på sin KTM så kan man ju prova.
Mattias, do you happen to know if the bad fuel portion of this 'dongle' can be activated on the 690. i doubt i will ever need it but just in case i would like to know., thanks again!
Mt understanding is that you activate the bad fuel mode by set the map switch under your seat to "0". If the Dongle is needed for this setting or not, I do not know since the user's manual is vague about this. The Dongle is shared with other KTM models so it could be that this Dongle activates the posibility to use bad fuel mode differently based by bike model.
Mattias Eriksson By the way, within short I will upload a video of installing a cool handlebar switch to be able to control the map settings without fiddling under the seat :)
Mattias Eriksson I have installed the dongle, works just as you said it would. Also read the bike manual, now I understand the different power maps and how to change them. tks. the bike is new, i only have a couple hundred kilometers on it. i have been testing the front wheel only ABS, not sure i like it. it sounds like you have been riding your bike for a while, would you please give me your opinion on using ABS on dirt roads and single track. I do most of my riding in the deserts around phoenix Arizona.
also i will watch for your video on installing a switch for the fuel maps, i'm very interested.
scott holman my experience and suggestion is to use front ABS only mode in most gravel/dirt situations. In extreme offroad situations like very steep downhill with slipery surface, you should turn off ABS completely. I only use full ABS on wet tarmac. I'm sure you will enjoy this great bike to the fullest :) ride it hard !
Lysande!
Thanks! I would never have known about this if it wasn't for an inmate at Advrider.com :)
Tack Robban,
Är det samma på nyare 690?, har en 2020...
Tjena Johan! Jag törs inte svara på det. Är det samma typ av kontakter under sadeln? /Mattias
@@Braapncamp
Tja…
Jag kan ju testa på min i morgon :)
Ja, återkom gärna med hur det gick 👌🙌
I helgen ska det testas...
Printer dig text , tack som fan....
hittar ingen video på hur det funkar på 2019 å nyare =(
vad har du öglorna till på bultarna på tanken vidhandtagen?
75mandel öglorna är främre fästpunkter för KTM's verktyksväska (originaltilbehör). i den får jag plats med slang, pump och verktyg. På någon av de andra videos jag gjort på körning bör den väskan (liten kantig av drybagtyp) synas.
Hej Mattias - vet du vilket KTM part nummer din dongle har please ? Jag har testat med KTM 60312953500 men 'kill switch' tricket funkar inte... Tackar !
Arem Araich Hej, jag har inte lådan eller något kvar som anger det. Jag kan försöka kolla om jag kan få fram det på annat sätt och återkomma.
Mattias Eriksson Bussigt - nummer står på en etikett på dongeln om du har hojen kvar ?
Arem Araich Kan kolla, återkommer.
Fixat tack !! Förklaring här - MVH advrider.com/index.php?threads/ktm-690-abs-dongle.1189671/
Arem Araich OK, vad bra att det löste sig. Hade du kapat den bruna kabeln?
