701 Xplorer installation video (updated 12/21)

[@edg9374]

Hi. I would like to know how much the motorcycle would weigh in total with the complete explorer kit if there was no fuel? With ktm 690 enduro r 2023. Thank you

[@aurorarallyequipment]

With a Li-Po battery and an aftermarket exhaust (this is the data that we used to weight the bike) it is 163kg (a bit shy off), Fully fueled it is close to 180. Here you can find a lot of information from one of our customers regarding the weight and the performance of the kit in general after 20k km. www.advrider.com/f/threads/husqvarna-701rr-builds.1207074/page-15#post-38090123

@@aurorarallyequipment Thank you. I have seen that you have been preparing the 701 more than the 690 for long trips, what is the reason? I want to buy one and I don't know which of the two to choose for this purpose. On the other hand, how long does it take to supply the kit once the order is confirmed? Thanks again

@@edg9374 - The 701 Xplorer was done in 2016, it was basically our fist bike to be equipped with the Xplorer kit, since there were other kits in the market at the time and we were expecting changes to happen on the 690. The 690 happened in 2019 (with their new model and frame). Both bikes have the same kits (basically) so the option is yours. Ergonomics are a bit different, and the looks of course, but it is down to looks and availability. For the ETA, you can contact us at our info email and we can get back to you regarding the delivery times as depends on the OEM parts that we use!

would be cool if their was a tower to work with the husky 701 LR to save needing to swap out fuel tanks maybe an adjustable windshield too

[@aurorarallyequipment]

There is the LR kit! aurora-rally.com/701lr-rally/

@@aurorarallyequipment that looks mint i want to pick up a 701 around december and ill be doing big road trips on toy rides for charity and fund raisers like 7-9 hour rides and most people ride harleys and stuff and sports bikes but i never see any rally bikes or anything like them and so with this id have a nicer ride on our poorly maintained roads where harleys bottom out their suspension soo im just in the process of seeing if theirs any other bikes out their that are cheaper and do the same stuff as the 701 but i cant find anything reliable unless triumph brings out their triumph tiger adventure 660 i dont see any other better options to the 701

Hi guys, I agree about 3 days, I like to do things 100% so happy to take my time. I’m about half way through, couple of notes. The ABS switch I’ve had to secure with a cable tie at the back as the cut out section was a bit to large. The cables that go to the repositioned instrument panel …. I can’t get them to join, and if they did I can’t turn the bars without pulling them apart…. It seems like there should be a joiner or extension piece. Lastly, I’m trying to follow the updated video and are half way through about to install the furl lines and harness….. but it goes do quick and is not clear as to exactly where to place things. Are there online diagrams we can access or even an online instruction book??

[@aurorarallyequipment]

Hey 2WheelsInMotion and apologies for the late reply. The ABS button indeed needs some tape, the reason that it is better to be loose than tight is that it can be damaged in case you want to take it off at a later stage. They are very fragile things and because they affect the speedometer, we try to keep them as safe as possible. Which cables do you mean? You can reach our support at aurora-rally.com line to get a better and much quicker response. Unfortunately no on the diagrams. The reason is that there is no rule book. We suggest our ''opinion'' if we may say, and what we have found it works for that last 6 years of the kit, but you can do it in a different way indeed. KZbin allows you to change the play speed of the videos, so going at 0.25 may also help. Thanks for your trust, The Aurora Team

Αυτο το κουστουμι μπορω να το βαλω και στο GasGas 700 ES?

[@aurorarallyequipment]

Μπαίνει αλλά θέλει μικρές μετατροπές στα πίσω πλαστικά της μοτοσυκλέτας και γι αυτό τον λόγο δεν το έχουμε βγάλει σαν προϊόν στην ιστοσελίδα μας.

Hi friends, beautiful kit, what is the seat height whit slow and wide seat?

[@aurorarallyequipment]

The low seat is a bit lower than the OEM (close to 10mm shorter). The rally seat is higher than the stock. The height itself is just a guide, because the width is much more important. As our legs open more due to a wider seat, we cannot reach the ground even if the seat is lower. Not the case on the 701X, just mentioning so that you have better ''visuals'' Apologies for the late reply. The Aurora Team

[@RFFigoli]

Hi Guys, how long you estimate it takes to install the kit? Roughly....

[@aurorarallyequipment]

Depends on the skill level. We are preparing a new system to advise the customers of the time, but you can expect to install it in two days if you are an experienced guy with the tools and have some good general knowledge. The more experience, the better. Otherwise, if you take your time, and want to go back and forth, on and off the installation I'd say you are looking for 3 days tops.

[@RFFigoli]

@@aurorarallyequipment Thanks very much for the prompt reply. It is in line with what I estimated myself. I wanted to know because I have the opportunity of buying one already equipped with the kit but the premium is 4k over buying the standar 701 and kit separately and doing the job myself... I guess you will get an order from me as soon as I buy the bike..
