[@barrymurphy3554]

Nice thanks very much for your input cheers from Australia

[@holden3083]

👍. Nice setup. How’s the bike going now? What problems have u had so far? How did those break bleed valves go, did any break off? Did u end up going on that trip?

[@barrymurphy3554]

Hi there Mate good on you. Great to see you having a go. A Friend from Australia

[@The_Arby]

Cool 1st video mate :-) Definitely worth a sub too :-) Cool upgrades on the 701 :-)

[@onewheelahead3648]

Thanks mate. I’m working on my next video at the moment, hope you’ll like it as well. Cheers ✌🏻

[@KentRodgman]

Well done! I would love to go this direction with a 701 and downsize from my F800GS, but I just can't find many (if any at all) used 701s to pick up and start modifying.... Nobody gets rid of them apparently. Lots of 690's, but almost no 701s.... I'll give it one more winter of searching before I crack and order a new one...

[@onewheelahead3648]

Thanks ✌🏻 Didn’t know that the used- Market for 701s is so bad. When you buy a new one, you should go for the LR. After 18000km with my 701, I’m still loving it, never had serious problems with it, only the known Clutch slave problem. I’m currently in Canada with my 701, very tough conditions… but the 701 is doing fine so far 🍁✌🏻

@@onewheelahead3648 You're a brave man riding in Canada in November... I suppose if you're out east it's still possible. Out here in the west (SK) we are snow covered and have been for a while. Just spoke to a dealer today and it sounds like the LR is having trouble meeting DOT and CSA here in North America for some reason... That's the one I want but it doesn't sound like it's coming here any time soon. So I'll have to go the conversion route. If you get a chance in the summer there is some amazing riding to be done in Western Alberta and BC, I try to get there for a 5 day trip once a year and look forward to it all year. Stay safe out there!

[@onewheelahead3648]

@@KentRodgman I’m currently in BC, started the trip in Halifax in mid Oktober. Husqvarna is offering a LR- Kit for the older 701 Models, maybe that’s a way for you to get your hands on a 701 LR, not sure if they sell those kits in Canada though.

[@KentRodgman]

@@onewheelahead3648 Wow, that's some miles! I'll figure out how to build myself an LR yet. Safe travels!

Great video. Looking forward to more content 👍

Hi Malte, thank you for your preciouse help in checking teh 701 rear tank Neck Filter, keep us posted and let us know when youre travel will start

[@madchestermike]

Love the idea of the massive safari tank… not sure about the big adventure graphics though, are these vinyl stickers that could be removed?

[@onewheelahead3648]

The graphics are not my favorite thing on the tanks either, sadly they can’t be removed. Painting the tanks is not an option, the gas fumes will destroy the painting, I tried it. Meanwhile, there are other options to enlarge the gas capacity on a 701. There is a tank kit on the market, directly from Husqvarna.

[@HitHappinessRoads]

Hi, very nice upgrades ! 👍🏼 it would have been helpful to list your modifications in video description 🙂

[@onewheelahead3648]

Done :)

[@janra8653]

Nice one, you are really going far with that big tank and the extra canisters ! Did you ever consider the fuel pump quality problem ?

[@onewheelahead3648]

Hey, Yes, the fuel pump quality is a problem I’m aware of. I think, there is a relation between fuel pump issues and fuel quality, that is why i use pre filters in my tanks. At the Moment I’m thinking about carrying a spare fuel pump with me, to be absolutely safe.

[@Ni3K]

Könntest du zu dem Tank noch ein Video machen, wie der angeschlossen wird und wie man zwischen den Tanks wechselt? Hast du den selbst eingebaut? Außerdem würde mich interessieren ob du alles eingetragen bekommen hast und wie das lief (Licht und Tank)? Ich hatte so einen Benzinfilter im hinteren Tank (auch 701 2019) und kam damit nicht klar beim Tanken, man konnte das Benzin nur ganz langsam einfüllen? Gerne noch ein oder zwei ausführlichere Videos zu deinem Bike, fahren geht ja zur Zeit eh nicht wirklich. Gruß Nick.

[@onewheelahead3648]

Hallo Nicolai, 👋 Gerne gehe ich in einem Video etwas genauer auf die Tanks ein. Die Firma Zweirad Norton hat den Tank eingebaut und das Gutachten durch den Tüv organisiert. Ich habe dann nur noch bei meiner lokalen Zulassungsstelle die Eintragung in die Fahrzeugpapiere machen lassen. Den Einbau kann man aber natürlich leicht selbst verrichten, mir ging es bei der Sache nur um das Gutachten, da ist etwas mehr Expertise gefragt. Der Scheinwerfer ist so noch nicht eingetragen, das Leuchtmittel hat zwar die notwendige ECE- Kennzeichnung, aber die Lichtmaske könnte ein Problem darstellen. Das Tanken mit den Filtern dauert auch bei mir etwas länger. Aus meiner Sicht, überwiegen hier die Vorteile den Nachteilen. Grüße Malte

[@mariusontrack988]

Hi Malte, weißt du ob der Tank auch für Modelle ab 2020 passt bzw passend gemacht werden kann? Grüße Marius

[@onewheelahead3648]

Hey Marius, Angeblich passt der Tank bis zu den 2020er Modellen. www.safaritanks.com.au/home/shop/product/1675-husqvarna-701-enduro-30-litre-twin-tank

Any updates?

[@orpaztron]

It seems that apart from pegs you now can't add anything to the motorcycle :) Anyway, if you are going to ride Off-road you have made the right choice. If you are going to spend a lot on highways you will probably suffer - even with the conceptseat seat and little windshield. hope you'll be free to travel soon...

[@onewheelahead3648]

You are not wrong. Recently i spent like 10 hours on the husky, riding mostly highways and some smaller roads, my rear was hurting beyond words. And another problem was my right wrist, it was in pain as well because of the permanent stress. For the next longer ride, I’ll use a fur to sit on, and a aftermarket cruise control, which will be subject on my next video coming soon. The Windshield was actually not bad and i don’t need to improve anything about it. Thank you for your comment ✌🏻

[@orpaztron]

@@onewheelahead3648 If your wrist hurts you may want to check your grip on the handle. There are some videos that show ways to hold the throttle without prolonged effort and with more emotion and control. personally, I don't trust third-party cruise control and certainly not something made in China- not when it's effect my safety directly.

[@onewheelahead3648]

@@orpaztron The cruise control i choose is different then others. It is button operated and not just a clamp like others. I’m currently preparing a video about it. ✌🏻

[@woitika5983]

Hey, looks like You put a lot of weight on the back of 701. Aren't You afraid of breaking the subframe mount of the OEM fuel tank?

[@onewheelahead3648]

Hey. Yes you’re right, there are 40kg of luggage on the back. To make the subframe mount stronger i installed the „PERUN MOTO SUBFRAME REINFORCING KIT“.

[@Toxie_Motor]

The bike is built to handle a passenger on the back so I think a bit of luggage will be no problem haha

[@fcalin21]

I am torn between this and Honda CRF45OL.

[@onewheelahead3648]

This is a hard one. The CRF is build simpler, which makes it more reliable i think. It is cheaper and lighter, the fuel economy is better as well and Acerbis has a fuel tank for it. But I don’t know if there are as many accessories available like for the Husqvarna.

[@fcalin21]

@@onewheelahead3648 Thank you ! My main concern is the handling. I guess i have to ride both. Haw do you like your bike ? It has a good ergonomic ? Adventure spec said it did not bond with this motorcycle. Bremcannon said it has a terible ergonomic for off road. What is your height and weight ? Do you have bar risers ?

[@onewheelahead3648]

@@fcalin21 I love my Bike, of course 😁 But honestly it is my first real motorcycle and I can’t compare to others. I have bar risers and a stock handle bar. The suspension, with its 275mm of travel, was to high for my 1,80m hight (and 75kg weight), so i lowered it 30mm, you need to be very tall for the 701. But the newer models are lower, they have only 250mm of travel. At light off-road conditions (gravel, mud...) the handling is good, i can’t complain. But I never compared it to other dual sport bikes or dirt bikes.
