- Sorry it's been so long since my last video! and it's a bit of a long one...
As the title suggests, this one is how to replace your in tank filters. This applies to all 701 SM, Enduro and LR models and also the KTM 690 (2016 models and earlier use a different filter but should be a similar process). Pretty sure the other FI bikes by KTM and Husky will be the same too.
It's a bit fiddly as you have to lift the tank up but it's not that bad. The part number for the fuel filter kit is 81207090100 and this includes the pre pump filter and the mail in line filter and 2x hose clamps. You may get away with using stainless jubilee clips but not sure how they'll fair sitting in petrol. The part no for the small inline filter is 78141013190 and the how to for that is below.
Any questions, please fire them in the comments section. :)

Thanks for posting the part numbers. So helpful
Good to see you again Twedy. Keep up the good work, very helpful vid.
Cheers pal! 😁
Thanks for the video!
I am a "KTM fuel injection Beta Tester pioneer" as I own a '10 Husaberg FE450, which had injection before the KTM line did and of course being nothing more than a very confused KTM, my 'Berg (as was very common with them) had fuel pump issues. A Cycleworks pump was/is the hot ticket for those bikes. The in tank guts of your 690 look the exact same as my 13 year old Husaberg, which makes me wonder if KTM has learned anything at all since then 😄 The Cycleworks pump is not prone to polluting the fuel filter with black stuff, and it has proven to be stone reliable in my 450. I may proactively get a Cycleworks for my 701 and keep my new low mileage OEM pump as a spare.
I elected to delete the in tank Mahle fuel filter on my old 450, and am running an external 10 micron Wix metal canister filter that I replace annually. Replacing the external filter on the old 'Berg with it's funky 70 degree engine layout is super easy, takes 10 minutes, tops. Have had no fuel system issues since tossing the failed OEM pump into the garbage can and doing the external filter modification on my old Husaberg. Actually, that bike has been completely reliable since the initial fuel pump issue was addressed.
I wonder if there is enough room to do a similar external fuel filter mod for my 701. For sure a slim Golan filter would work, but I would want to use the not big but bigger (and cheaper) Wix filter if the in tank Mahle filter is removed. It looks like there may be enough room if I plan it out right. That is the good thing about Winter - it is a good time to fuss around with the bike! Will probably see if I can get a Wix filter in at or near the quick connect area, and leave the stock in tank one in place for a season or two, then do the bypass mod. The fewer times one has to unscrew those self tapping fuel pump base plate mounting into plastic screws the better...
Very informative as usual. Like to see one on suspension set up sometime.
Suspension is a dark art dude. Someone help me set mine up on a track day after I bought it and I've never touched it since!! 😂
Amazing video thanks for sharing
Another good vid mate. I used a pair of snips to compress the clamps on my 2018. I noted how much the old ones were squeezed before I removed them and carefully judged how much pressure I applied. Finally I checked that the pipes were fully secured. I've done another 8,000 miles since then so I'm happy with that. Interestingly, I was chatting to Rob, the mechanic at Huskysport, doown south, and he reckons they rarely give trouble. Nice to change the filters all the same though me thinks. How about a vid to change the fork oil?I did mine last autumn at 18,000 miles and it was surprising how dirty the oil was. You need a thin-ish 22mm spanner to hold the inner cartridge mechanism but other than that it's pretty straightforward. Cheers mate.
Yeah, from what I can remember there hasn't been many posts about them causing an issue but why wouldn't you change them 👍. Good idea on the fork oil change! Will see what's involved.
Very informative, thanks. Loved the "minge" bomb in there. 😂
Great tutorial video , thanks for sharing
You are very welcome
Thanks for the info.
Any time!
Excellent 👍
Did this yesterday on the 19’ SMCR and sure enough, the one bolt just spins when you take the T45 side out . So, I put the 5mm Allen in that side and tried to back out the other side… it was so tight it snapped the Allen key off inside the channel. So, that makes it impossible to get the tank tilted up. I just pulled the pump from underneath and replaced the filter and screen with Oetiker clamps as recommended. Not sure why they want you to tilt tank up… you don’t need too! Can’t figure why it was so tight that I couldn’t get the bolt out, but at least I found out you don’t need to tilt the tank to do this or replace fuel pump. Went for ride because I was worried about kinks in the fuel line when I shoved it all back up in tank. It ran great with no leaks.
Wow that's mad! must have had loads of thread lock or something for it to snap an allen key!
Same here. I did not have to tilt the tank up or take the exhaust can off. Just the four bolts holding the pump in. I figured there must be a reason you did that way, but I thought I would try it, anyhow. And they worked! Thank you very much for the very informative video. I could not have done it otherwise.
Thank you for the great content! Question: why not replace the pump while you’re in there?
Nowt wrong with it. Haha. I wouldn't replace a £90ish part it it was working OK (apart from the clutch slave, it's more of a time bomb than a fuel pump).
Been a minute since you came in my ears 👀
Always a pleasure bud. 😂
Good video, very well explained!
Could you tell me the measurements of those 2 closing clamps?
Are they 9mm? maybe 10mm?
Sorry for the late reply. Not sure on the clamp size, I just used replacement parts from the Husky parts fiche site.
Awesome video! My 2016 690 ER pump seems to have failed as there is no fuel coming through at the quick disconnect. When setting up my Safari tank I removed the tiny inline filter and added a Golan filter to the line. In this case can I just removed the plastic filter in the tank? Could you please suggest the suitable joint to connect the hoses to delete the filter in the tank? Thanks in advance.
I'm not entirely sure fuel is supposed to come out of the quick disconnect if they're disconnected. I'm pretty sure I've seen posts where some owners have removed the filter from the tank and put an online filter like a Golan one between the tank and the quick disconnect. Hope that helps 👍
Just lifted the tank on my ‘21 701 to remove the shock. Pretty much all the cables were tight from the first cm of lifting the tank 😅
What a ball ache!! Guess I got lucky then haha
@@Twedymoto Bought this bike a week ago, coming from a DRZ I’m not used to all these wires. Need to learn what they all are and where they can be disconnected.
@@JohannesDalen Hit up Rottweiler Performance, they sell delete kits for a lot of that garbage. Really cleans things up under there and the O2 sensor delete richens up the part throttle settings a full AFR point, which makes is run a lot better.
Hey man, like the video! Please can you assist with where I can find the service manual you are using?
I got them from the files section of the husqvarna 701 Facebook group. You can also Google "husqvarna 701 supermoto/enduro service manual" but those sites usually only load the pages one at a time.
I checked my filter in line,was ok,getting a prob with popping on decellaration,and holding back,checked the psi coming from the pump,it was like 47 psi each time i checked,5 times.i changed my plugs,cleaned in the plug caps,were really nasty,put everything up,still same sputtering an popping on decelaration,any ideas? Didnt check my in tank filters becuase i was getting the correct psi,what you think?
Can you check your fuel pump to see if it's bad? 2010 ktm690smc 37000 miles never had any problems.....thanks.
There's a few ways to check I guess but they're not pretty. You could remove the injector, then connect it all up with the injector removed and crank it and see if it sprays fuel. Alternatively, you can get a pressure testing kit from somewhere.
But if the bike has done 37,000 on the original filter, I would change it as a matter of course!
I see some riders access the fuel filter without removing lower tank bolt and swinging it up. Do you know if it's possible to replace filter without swinging tank up? Thanks.
I've heard of this too. OK I guess if you can get the bike up in the air or are comfortable faffing on the floor 😅
@@Twedymoto I got away with it with the bike just sitting on the kickstand. Mine is a 2014 Enduro; I don't know if that makes any difference.
I have a husky 701 and cut out at full throttle when I changed gear on the slip way yesterday, I was gunning it and it happened again the next day when slowing down at speed and changing down a gear, it has a full tank and it's a 17 plate with 7.5k miles, what should I inspect? the wires look OK, and I don't have a quick shifter 😰
Have you found any solution?
For what?
Yells, I changes the external fuel filter, air filter and a new battery, so far I have not had another cutout so it could have been any of those parts
Hi, if your filter gets dirty enough will it stop you bike from running?....thanks.
It could potentially yes, but you would have issues with it wayyy before it would stop your bike running.
How long Was the filter in there to get that dark.
That one was changed around 11,000 miles. They go dark quite quickly due to the carbon brushes in the fuel pump, its normal 👍
What is the product code for that MAHLE Filter?
I don't have the part number for the filter but the filter kit number is 81207090100 which is for the Mahle filter and the pre pump filter screen.
Hello, can't you just remove the wheel to get to the filter?
You could but the swing arm will restrict your access. For the extra 10 minutes it takes to flip the tank up, it's worth it 👍
Hi buddy, what is the exact pair of pliers you used in the video. Do you have a reference?
I will try find them for you mate. 👍
@@Twedymoto Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it. Please continue with your videos, they are very helpful.
What’s the name of the pliers? Great video!
It’s a different inline filter for the early 690’s.
Thanks mate, I'll update the description.
@@Twedymoto Same filter in my 2011 690
What do you do with the remaining fuel to get rid of it?
I put it in an oil can and disposed of it at the local waste centre. If you can extract it without contaminating it then no harm in using it again 👍
@@Twedymoto I see. Thanks.
Hello mate, how many miles do you have?
10,000 miles mate.
@@Twedymoto Mine is with 5000kms / 3100 Miles. I will do the second year manteinence and I will change the fuel line filter. This filter will change later. Thanks for the videos mate.
