We need to know what Dave Moss told you, that man is a legend

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

LCR never disappoints. Great work. Informative and Entertaining.

[@On2WheelswithDennis]

Looking very good mister Chops !!👍, mine is 90% finished waiting for the last bits to go on 🤪🤪 even though I live in Spain id like say 4.90 kg 😉😀 regards!!

[@giddyrightonup]

Looks amazing, I’ve been humming and hahing about a graphics kit for ages, and you finally spurred me into getting one for my 701. Should have done it ages ago, I went the wet fitting route, and I think it was easier. Now both our bikes look ace 👍🏻

[@seventysevencats]

Didn't realise I met you at Goodwill until my friend on the Tuono explained. My gixxer's running Dymag CA5 wheels thanks to one of your videos!

Great job Chopsy, and praise must also go to you’re amazing assistant who seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to Susan Boyle when all glammed up!! From my experience, it always turns out to be less than hoped, so I’ll have a guess at 5.85KG. Regardless.......very entertaining, great personality and the humour is spot on mate. Keep it up!!!

[@AndyManCam]

Doing your own seat!? SO yesterday chopsy! 😜 You did a far better job than when I attempted a gel insert on the old FZS600! Looks the business mate! Your lucky, lucky botty! Tasty Tekmo Tunes too. I miss that thwarpy, blarrty noise since I binned off the twin. Damn you Euro4!!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Andy! Yeah it's a bit of a ball ache isn't it 😕

[@SirKillBill]

I reckon the weight loss is 13.7Kg. Brilliant as always!

[@boundy69]

Always loved a blast around the back of the hill on my GasGas EC300. Total weight loss I recon is 8.44kg

[@davidogilvie3572]

Bike looks fantastic, really enjoyed all the episodes 👍 total loss 6.37kg

[@jakeparkin2038]

Bike looks amazing but could do with a couple more logos 😉 total weight saving guess is a massive 2.023kgs 👍

[@web525]

When changing the oil, on my EXC, KTM recommend that you fill the new oil filters with oil prior to installing them in the engine. This helps the oil flow on the initial start up after the oil change is completed. Not sure if it is the same for a 690 but probably something to consider in the future.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes I remember from my exc days, they don't say to do this on the 690. Probably due to being a bit more oil in the engine 🤷‍♂️

[@LeonPritchard]

How's the Gel Insert? I have a new 701 and importing a SC is crazy expensive but I'll do it if its the best option but if I can get away with the gel insert & new cover then all the better (is it too soft?)

[@Dudeshootsdove]

Lovely looking machine!!.... did you ever consider an aftermarket display with gear indicator ect more like the Duke 890 dash. Only asking because it’s a road I might go down if there recommend as there’s not much information about.

[@stephenbooty3773]

Looks fantastic. My guess is 7.90 kg. 👍🏻

[@DaMuShErZ]

I recon 8.27kg of loss 👍. Looking forward to the first proper ride! Sounds immense

[@anthonyhewitt6333]

Awesome chops impressed

[@anthonyhewitt6333]

Total weight loss 8.3 kilos

[@byronallott417]

looking amazing still waiting to hit my 600 mls get 1st service done then start the mods. I'm gonna guess 5.1kg 🙈🙈👍👍

[@clivearnold8870]

Hi Chops, Great Build! I notice when you built your 701 you used the R&G frame bungs, but you don't appear to have used them on the KTM 690 SMCR. I'm tracking mine and bought a pair but on looking at the mount for them I wasn't 100% that they wont damage the frame mount in a slide, what are your thoughts?

[@tristanwhyatt2671]

love what youve done to the bike and just got a 690 my self one question who do you use for insurance as no one seams to want to insure any new bike that has any mods at all

[@Advcrazy]

Cheers for the vid and showing kl the small details in the build Lamb Chops!Which model from Ducati throttle spacers fits the KTMs? I have an 890adv and the plastics throttle slack just makes it feel cheap

[@robertmetson9567]

Can’t wait for the dyno my guess for the weight saving without chops on the bike is 9.87kg
