Right on, the ktm 690 is an absolute adventure weapon!! Just picked up a used one myself with low miles bone stock, it never touched dirt. Only issue is I didn’t get all the awesome aftermarket stuff for free of the last guy but with 1900 OG miles I figured it’s a trade off. Outfitting mine for adventure riding, motocamping and knocking off BDRs soon. That Rade Garage tower is in my list of shit to buy as well I’ll be sharing as much as I can on the bike and outings on my moto channel New subscriber
I've REALLY seriously considered the rade garage rally tower, it looks badass and seems very functional, but holy moly they are proud of that piece $$$ haha
@@Nick-qb9jc yeah it looks really good, and covers a few items at once with wind protection, better lighting and great visual area for gps etc …. But damn right it’s expensive!!!
Are you able to let me know if this bike has some sort of way to telling you how much fuel you have left. I know on the US model, there is no fuel gauge but does it at least tell you how many miles you have left till you're empty?
Not really, I carry a couple extra bottles of fuel to be safe and plan my route accordingly to accommodate my fuel range. It hasn't been an issue......yet haha
If you're primarily using it for adventure riding without terribly steep drops you can get away with adding a 1.25 koubalink and lowering the preload to make the height really low. Still has great clearance and being able to put your foot down provides a lot of confidence on uneven ground.
The smoke alarm battery! beep😑!!

It does have a low fuel light but that's all. When that comes on you have about 50km or 30ish miles left
@@Nick-qb9jc oh ok, have you never been worried when riding trials wondering if you have enough gas?

Only reason I kept watching was because you had great info. Holy shit your cough and smoke alarm were painful throughout the entire video.
background music is simply irritating! why on earth...?
Shite audio .. we can’t hear you !
Probably it's audio off a phone haha 😆

I've considered that, but I'm just learning to deal with the height.... haven't dropped it cause of the height yet haha
