Supermoto Top 5 Modifications!!

[@Twistedmetallic]

My top 3 mods. - Exhaust/filter/map. - Seat concept - One teeth smaller engine sprocket

[@cracky7167]

the 10 minute grind is real

[@zezemach]

Idk he didn’t put ads...

[@gavinksmith]

Just got a power commander yesterday after seeing your reviews, makes such a difference!

[@LambChopRides]

+Gavin s you fitted it already Gavin?

[@gavinksmith]

Yeah, Dynojet is 4 hours away from me so I went to a local approved power commander installer in Norwich and they set it up for me on the dyno with the akra and dna air filter. So much more torque now! Love being able to power wheelie in 3rd gear, just need to keep practicing the wheelies now.

[@djmikeyh06]

High compression piston??? Race cam with huge overlap??? Ultra sticky tyre's??? No, this guy went for crash bobbins and a comfy seat!! Yeah, best mods ever!! Let's see you stick it into a corner sideways!!

[@HOTSHOT-ls1bc]

djmikeyh06 yep

[@1990-t1j]

Maybe he wants to maintain the reliability.

[@crownmoto]

Coincidentally, I rode my buddy's 701 yesterday through some twisties and when I came back he asked, "how'd you like it?" I LOVED IT!...but, I said "I'd immediately put a quick shifter on it!" I'm making room in the garage this weekend!

[@LambChopRides]

Be careful as the bike has false neutrals and qs brings them out!

[@crownmoto]

@@LambChopRides Thx, I'm aware. I have a HealTech QS on my Super Duke. Gotta be deliberate with the shifts!

[@codenamenoob4973]

Nah just clutch less power shift that monster lol quick shifters are awesome and they really spoil you but I don't see the point on having one on a supermoto as you can shift just as quick on your own when you get used to it

[@crownmoto]

@@codenamenoob4973 Modern quick shifters with blippers don't beat on the gearbox like old school clutchless shifting. I rode the new SMC 690 and the up/down QS is sublime. The 701 would be even better

[@codenamenoob4973]

@@crownmoto I understand that and I think they're great but part of the fun for me on a supermoto is nailing those power shifts under hard acceleration

[@Shivermetimbrz]

Wow, you've got so many mods I've got mod envy haha. Good vid, love the idea of the digital gear indicator too!

[@brendanjones1102]

thanks for the mods chops!... sound matters!

[@duncandehulst2016]

The way you talk, do, ride and above all how the vids are.. Makes me an subscriber immediately :)

[@LambChopRides]

+Duncan De hulst haha thanks Duncan 👍

[@izmeorbin9602]

Of COURSE a catalyst-less exhaust is the #1 mod! The std muffler has a cat in, it's extremely restrictive and gets farking hot, never mind it's too quiet. Get the Rade Garage auxillary rank which comes with a TwinAir foam filter, the latter especially is what you want: loud yeah but 4 horses more, without any PC stuff. But, instead of a PC get the BoosterPlug, it does all you want for a fraction of the price. Installation takes what, 3 minutes? All this transforms this bike into "hyper-urgent", a hooning tool without peers! Enjoy it ;-)

[@danielben4074]

Love your videos, about the 701 ill save up some money to get this bike i hope ill have it with the age of 20... im riding right now an Kawasaki klr 250 from 1989 its old but drives like gold

[@erickohlrabi6636]

Man Your helmet looks so dope

[@elux_rl1332]

i guess some blue ZETA handguards would also look very good on your bike :))

[@ftrider1768]

totally agree with your number one modification, the exhaust. so many times just a quick rev to let cars and peds no your there ;-)

[@LambChopRides]

+ft rider it's a must FT isn't it 😎

[@ftrider1768]

Lamb Chop Rides definitely :-)

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

I have been lusting after a 710 for years, enduro for me though please

[@TheRoadWarrior96]

Same here man, finally got a test ride on one the other day and it did not dissapoint - hence I'm now trawling through the chops supermoto archives for inspiration!

[@TwystedThrottle]

Professional instruction and track time are worth more than any physical mod. A power commander on the later LC4 bikes is a bit of a waste of money, as the Tune ECU program can be used to upload maps into the factory ECUs to suit different performance mods. The throttle maps can be individually tuned for each map switch position, whereas the Power Commander will just try to fool the ECU into altering the fuelling to give a broad "blanket" style tune.

[@jimmyhedlund7997]

You can't use TuneECU on a LC4 from 2014 and forward.

[@Weeem]

Seat concepts ... check (fitting it today) K&N .... check Power Commander ... check (picking it up this weekend) Wings ... check :) Congrats on 10k btw :)

[@LambChopRides]

Cheers weemy!! One tip for fitting the seat, heat the plastic with a heat gun as its really hard! even my heavy duty stapler couldn't touch it cold, sounds like your 701 is well on the way to perfection :-)

[@moritzkamp9901]

i would recommend you to use manual focus for the "bikeporn" shots, will get you rid of this pumping of the autofocus

[@beni8978]

[@alexkibis4338]

If you like the PC5 with the airbox cover, wait till you try the Rottweiler intake with their custom map! It blows the stock box away.

[@LambChopRides]

ah I will look in to that :-)

[@juliendufour4513]

Hi, excellent, please 2 questions: where did you get the gear indicator? are you still happy with the bike? :)

[@InoxEdge]

I always do crash protection first, then brakes, exhaust, suspension and then an ECU flash. And plenty of expensive little things in between like gold chains and coloured coded valve caps, one has to look cool.

[@LambChopRides]

+InoxEdge yes good tip, chain etc will come when mine wears out 😎

[@ShadowRTSgbg]

Love your english man. Ride safe out there amazing bike !

[@TwoWheelHighLife]

Nice list. I too value the tune and exhaust mod on bikes. One of the first major mods I plan to do to the 701. power commander and full akra system.

[@LambChopRides]

+MotardSteve yeah was my first mod, couldn't really afford it but had to find the money as standard one was hideous!!

[@neilcole4844]

The number one mod for a Supermoto is....................the nutter in the saddle!! lol

[@cameronwhilden7236]

I agree with everything you said coming from a fellow 701 owner. Do you have a fender elimanator on yours, if so what brand?

[@LambChopRides]

+Cameron Whilden it's just the stock tail with the lower part removed Cameron. No need for an expensive tail tidy 👍

[@CunningStuntsGoFast]

radial master cylinder is my nr1

[@duncandehulst2016]

How unexpected, a 5 year old video and its a moto vlog count down, with an icon variant on a sumo 😂😂😂

[@paulbudford]

The number one modification should be be one you have fitted to save wear on the front tyre!

[@Nostrildomus]

I get tired of so called experts telling what a super moto they have while missing every other shift . What is wrong with you experts ? Thanks

[@dahveed284]

I'm thinking of getting the 701 SM and then putting dual sport tires and using it to ride pavement (aggressively) and easy gravel roads and such. Is it better to get the SM and tweak it for my uses or the Enduro and modify it? Be interested to hear your opinion...

[@bennetts8924]

dahveed284 lambchopst8des

[@Lawman-196]

Supermoto version, because it has bigger front brakes and a little better turning radius.....I was thinking the same thing. I am going with the Supermoto.

[@huskybusky8880]

From what I remember, the one to go for is the enduro and buy sm wheels. Reason being that the SM has a shorter swing arm and won’t allow you to put the 18” rear wheel in. Might be wrong.

[@Shivermetimbrz]

Personally I went the enduro and bought the sumo wheels from warp 9 racing

[@ryanfonseca3270]

I see the701 still has the ktm 690s 4-5 5-6 that extra neutral gears in between those gears lol Always gets me on my 690 lol

[@barrybrooks4525]

Hi there, quick question re the PCV you recommend, does it come with a suitable preset map for after market exhaust, decat and air filter mod, or do I need to get it tuned aswell..I'm hoping it will do the job right outta the box??

[@Bimble]

1) Only nutters ride Supermotos. 2) Playing cards in the spokes...best mod ever. 3) Nice countdown. Twas a jolly ol romp indeed. 4) Your bike is right tidy n that. Wanna do rude things to & on it. Good day, Sir.

[@LambChopRides]

+Bimble haha playing cards in the spokes! Ah the days.. 70s version of Oculus Rift!

[@Bimble]

Hehe! Had to look Oculus Rift up, as I'm still firmly stuck in the 70s :) Btw, If you do a Supermoto meet up as I saw suggested, let me know dude...I'll wear my Variant & Ogio vest (I really do have both) >_

[@LambChopRides]

+Bimble ok dude will keep you posted on a meet 👍

[@Bimble]

Schweeet!

[@comanchestraightblade1179]

Hey mate, is it possible you write down your list and the brands?

[@Belicose777]

Not sure if I should look into the 701 or just stick to the 450s and 500s. Definitely thinking of keeping my 450 for track use if I don't upgrade to a newer year 450. The KTM 500 is a torque monster and retains its typical dirtbike look. My only concern with the 701,if its anything like the 690, is that it's a little bulky in comparison.

[@andreahighsides7756]

Belicose777 I've heard it is

[@LambChopRides]

+Belicose777 yes your right the 701 isn't light like a converted crosser it's 145 KG. Hides it weight quite well though when riding on the road, take it off road and you notice it!

[@Belicose777]

Lamb Chop Rides Can't see myself riding it around the track with its size even though I've heard weight distribution is beautifully balanced. I'd have to decide between the 701 or 501 husky/KTM 500exc unless I decide to go through the hassle of converting and legalizing another race dirtbike like I have now . I'm not the tallest/biggest guy either. Sat on a 690 and I wasn't that happy with it. Maybe it was the seat. It was wide and made the bike feel and look wider than what it was. As long as I can deadlift it I'll ride it like a supermoto. Lol

[@dronepilotbob469]

please tell me what power commander you used , I was looking for power commander 5 ? you have a part # or company that makes one. ?

[@bananafarmer7224]

Hello. Do you still use your quickshifter ? In recent clips I see you use the clutch lever. What are your experiences after a year. Best regards Simon

[@LambChopRides]

Not really, the bike does suffer with some false neutrals and QS just hits them. I really struggled using it tbh

[@etts4342]

you don’t need a quick shifter for this type of bike the gearbox does not require the clutch to change up or down gears like a sports bike only to set off and feather if needed so a quick shifter is pointless on a crash box

[@thomasw5003]

Looks like you’re not running any db killer on the Wings exhaust. Don’t find it a bit loud for everyday riding?

[@loopertrooper6671]

LambChop, where can I find the blue levers? I own 1 of 2 701's in Houston, TX and having trouble finding bits. Bike looks great! Cheers.

[@LambChopRides]

[@kingsqueak2221]

I put the tall SC seat on my 690 R, money well spent for sure.

[@LambChopRides]

+Chris Esser yes its certainly a quality bit of kit and a major improvement over the stock one even with the same thickness foam! They didn't have any photos of the tall one so wasn't sure it would look right.. may have gone for that if I could have seem how it would look. Oh well

[@kingsqueak2221]

It's not quite as sleek with the lines of the bike, not the worst looking tall seat, but you are right that it upsets the lines a bit. I've got a 37" inseam so the aesthetics of me on any bike are already all wrong. I just need any help with seat-to-peg space that I can get. The color panel inserts for the Husky may make it a bit less obvious where mine is just all one color. I've not seen one on a 701 yet. I may convert mine from enduro to supermoto this year and your results from the Power Commander have been pretty impressive, so I'm tempted there too. Good stuff.

Killtime of the quickshifter could be shortet! And the frame protectors could break the frame in case.

[@taltamir3]

+1, I got the X-type for an 2017 model and I can't find how to connect it, speed sensor connector seems different and I'm not sure there is an RPM wire...can you post install instructions?:-)

+Tal Tamir I provided healtech photos as they gave me the unit for trial fittings so they know about what's needed

[@Parker-C]

[@tritriplekylie]

Exhaust is definitely the number 1 mod. Not only is the original fucking lethal like you said but it weighs more than hippo's left arse cheek. Oh plus it makes it sound like you're riding round on a 125...and we certainly can't have that now can we?

[@LambChopRides]

wow agreement... I cant believe it :-)

[@samboswell3798]

Thank you for this video. I have 350 miles on the 2017 701 and you very much confirmed the hesitation and ride ability questions I had with the stock setup. Strangely I think the power has improved in the last 100 miles of riding though as the engine breaks in. maybe that's in my head though. Are there any good maps out there for the 2017 701's power commander presuming an intake and exhaust are aftermarket? I assume they'd differ from a 2016 map?

[@LambChopRides]

+Sam Boswell yeah not sure you could use the same map as the 2017 has the new duke motor doesn't it.. might have to hold off until somebody has a map done..

How does the power Commander play with the different maps that cone with the bike? IIRC the pcv can only have 2 custom maps

Yes very interested in that! I'm toying with buying a ktm 500 exc or another 701 but can't make my mind up..

[@basewarrior]

Hey man, finally my KTM 690 SMC R is in my hands and she is a beut with so many mods already fitted including a full Acro evo 1 kit which I am happy about. The one thing I am am struggling with though is what gear to get so I suit the bike but also have good protection. I have ordered the Helmet which is an AGV AX8 Dual Evo Karakum But the trousers and the jacket I am struggling with. Is it acceptable to wear body Armour with an MX top over it in the summer for road use do you think? What do you wear when riding your 701? Any help would be Majorly appreciated. TLDR: What style gear is good to wear on a Supermoto?

[@LambChopRides]

+Major Chaos congrats dude great bikes arnt they! Gear is an interesting one, I like the field force pro shirt x-v with a hoddy or mx top over in the summer. I don't have one yet but it's my next purchase. On the bottoms I prefer leather for the protection aspects with mx boots. Currently wear full leathers but a little ott in the summer months and the field force vest is the daddy 😀

[@basewarrior]

Great thanks for your help I will check this shiz out. And yes this bike is fucking amazing, Shame I am all the way up in Newcastle because it would have been great to go for a ride sometime.

You can also go with the armoured jeans for the bottom part :), and add mx boots to it, i've got the jeans and they're so much cooler in the summer than the leatherpants :). But it's your choice, ride safe!

[@federicopacifici5944]

hi! nice video. why did you choose a 701 instead of a smc r 690?

[@gbner9991]

i guess cause everybody has a SMCR, at least in europe

[@LambChopRides]

+Federico Pacifici yeah lots of 690s all over the place. 701 was new and imo a slightly better bike

[@LambChopRides]

+Craven88 yup part of it 👍

[@texaslonestarrider]

Very nice bike!

[@airdoctor1251]

Doesn't your knee get bothered from teh frame slider? I got the same and i couldn't handle it and removed it. Maybe my mx back ground hates it.

[@LambChopRides]

+Air Doctor yeah I can see how it could... its doesn't bother me but I don't move around like a proper mx'er, I rarely even put my foot down tbh.. well only at traffic lights haha. I guess height riding position etc play a big part

[@airdoctor1251]

Going to confuse you by replying on 2 different comments haha , you should try riding mx for just 1 day. You will love it and will appreciate the 701 way more :D

[@LambChopRides]

+Air Doctor yeah tried it and works well for tight corners etc, will keep on it 😉

[@legendarymark112]

What gearing do you run? Just the stock or did you lower it for more oomph?

[@LambChopRides]

I did drop a tooth up front 👍

[@josef351cleveland]

What clutch levers are those I need some desperately. Help me out!

[@LambChopRides]

Search mud Pig Racing on ebay 👍👍

[@josef351cleveland]

Lamb Chop Rides thanks man! I found them.

[@RidolfC]

Can you recomend a good front fully floating wave rotor for the 701SM?

[@matthewdonnelly5126]

How have you got your Brembo brake calipers red?

[@LambChopRides]

+Matthew Donnelly bit of paint on the letters 😎

[@matthewdonnelly5126]

Also, would you make a video on how to wheelie the 701 as I can't seem to clutch it up in 2nd I have worked out the power wheelie in 1st.

[@cschilli68]

First mod you should do it get some real hand guards - The plastic stockers break in a light crash and are dangerous
