HUSQVARNA 701 SUPERMOTO! | Jack of all Trades - Master of FUN!

First 500 mile ride impressions of the 2021 Husky 701sm. This thing is definitely my goldilocks bike. Lets see how long I keep this one in the line up 😆

Use to watch this video over and over wanting one of these so bad. Just bought one (2023) and already have 700 miles on it. What a dream.

[@SpawnOfSweden]

Sweet! I'm gonna go get me the same bike in a month :) Have you done anything to yours?

[@Joebro200]

@@SpawnOfSweden yes sir! I’ve done pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted to do to it already lol. Got the Wings slip on W/O DB killer (sounds so good no audio clip online does it justice trust me) got a power commander 6, SAS delete (smog garbage), Rottweiler intake, Rottweiler tail tidy, TST front turn signals for the KTM 690 (they work on 701), front black fender and headlight cover, Oberon slave cylinder (the older 701’s had a slave cylinder problem. New ones apparently have a different slave cylinder, but I changed mine out just to be safe I guess) these bikes run lean from the factory and pulling the stock slip on muffler off, which houses the catalytic converter, makes it run much more lean. Bike is choked up a lot from the factory is what I’m saying. It’s already a wild bike stock, but a tune with intake and a better breathable slip on without a big cat in it makes this bike an absolute animal. It’s scary lol. You have to seriously respect it cause the power to weight on this bike, especially after a tune, is insane. But the tune/intake/exhaust are necessary cause the stock tune is trash. You’ll go from having no power in first with stock tune to all a sudden all the power lol. Tune fixes that but again, just wanna stress this bike is nuts. 300 lb bike with something like 80-90 crank hp and 60-70 crank tq after the basic intake/exhaust/power commander mod is really something to be carful with. I’ve almost looped this bike more times then I can count now just cause I cracked it in first too hard, or thought I was in second and was actually in first and grabbed too much throttle. First will loop you faster then you can say “shit”. Just wanted to throw that cautionary tale out there. Last mod I want is a gear indicator. It’s the greatest bike ever though I’m never selling mine. Hope you enjoy yours!

[@SpawnOfSweden]

@@Joebro200 thank you for your detailed information! :) this bike sounds like alot of fun!! I hope I also can get around the bikes restrictions when Its time for that, in sweden we have alot less parts for these bikes unfortunately. I will use your post as a help when it's time :) Great videos mate!! :)

Was looking at this 3 years ago, and ended up going with an FJ-09, which I love, but next year I may give her up for the Husky… love that thing! And Deer Creek, I’ve spent countless hours on Moto’s and my bicycle there, AMAZING. Great vid man.

The real saying is “ A jack of all trades is a master of none. But often times better then a master of one” just trying to educate people on that little fact.

[@jordanmadonna7440]

Been drooling over one of these for a while now!

[@BeemerDuc]

oh mannnn im excited for this! Not many bikes have this kind of personality. Lets gooooo

[@Joebro200]

I’ve commented on this video a few times now, and this is a great review. I’m a big fan of the channel this guy produces great content. After getting my 2023 701 tuned with an air intake and exhaust it’s a complete beast of a bike. I honestly think this bike goes past just being a “jack of all trades master of fun” cause it actually excels in everything pretty much better then most bikes. Honestly, this is probably one of the more competitive track bikes you can get. It corners better then anything if you can ride it to its fullest potential and it’s a torque monster. I have buddies with other 700’s and 900’s and this bike is just on another level. With it being 300 pounds and having the grunt it does, it’s a weapon. Also, comfort. This bike is honestly so comfortable it’ll ruin every other bike for you. I hear so many people say “eh you can’t ride it for hours cause the seats hard” but that’s bullshit. This bike is so damn comfortable. The seat is a perfect blend of stiff and soft. I’ve ridden other “comfort” bikes like the Tenere 700 and the tracer 900GT and they give me a very similar comfort vibe. I am 25 so I’m not dying for anything crazy comfortable rn, but this bike doesn’t miss in that department at all. This bike is a damn steal for 14K out the door. Plus, the quick shifter up and down is so damn premium. You get a lot for your money on this bike

[@G30_Jay]

I have one and definitely invest in another set of rims with knobby off-road tires. Takes like 15mins if not less to swap! Totally worth it!!

[@Itsjrob_]

Hey talon I just had a video idea that I would love to see ! I’m starting to get into drones so I would really enjoy a video from you on drones and how to use them when and where you can use them and just overall education on them ! Just an idea I thought of and I thought you were the person to tell ! 👌🏾🔥thanks man SEI 😈

[@KDad514]

Best order an Oberon or Rekluse clutch slave and change it out immediately. They are a known weak point and fail with great regularity. The problem is the stock slave has a "X" style ring gasket and it tears and loses pressure. They say that it can be corrected by installing an "O" ring but the Oberon and Rekluse are far superior in design and will outlast the stock diaphragm version. My 2020 Svartpilen 701 has essentially the same motor and setup and my clutch slave went at around 2000 miles. I have heard of the slaves failing as the bike is leaving the dealership lot right after purchase so keeping the stock unit is a total gamble. Otherwise an awesome bike. Congrats and welcome to the Husky family. Might as well get the Rottweiler fuel dongle too while you're at it to clean up the low rpm throttle twitchiness.

[@matthutson880]

My 2020 701 SM slave went out at 260 miles. Follow the above advise to avoid down time!

[@glossblack1098]

I think they improved this for the 2021.

[@Jj12915]

I have a Crf dual sport and Ninja and I put A LOT more miles on the Honda. Something about ripping up the back roads on a dirtbike and the ability to ride offroad when the mood strikes😁 Sweet bike man, the ultimate SM! I can't wait to see more vids!

your ripping on the road that I learned to drive on! South Turkey Creek! I used to take my CBR 600f2 from Hilldale pines to the 285 junction and time myself. this was well before the current traffic. great vid. thanks for the trip down memory lane. 👍

I had the 2017 version with full dyno setup, pc5 etc and up a tooth on the rear, decat , loved the power and noise, best bike ever !

[@HuangHangLo]

That's too cool. I own both a OG Grom and a 2020 Husky 701 SM as well. The Husky is an amazing bike! Just swap your Slave Cylinder and the stock exhaust and you're good to go. Got 11k on mine since I bought it in March last year.

[@blixxy1320]

other than the slave cylinder, how reliable has it been? does it feel like it can make it to 40k?

[@HuangHangLo]

@@blixxy1320 I have 12,000 miles on mine so far and have been daily riding/commuting with this bike since March of 2020. The bike is awesome and the motor is great. I can't tell you how long the motor will last but I can tell you that it runs every bit as good as it did new. Valves, like most, were fine at 6K. Gonna check them again here soon but I haven't had any issues so far.

You can turn off Traction Control while riding, as long as the throttle is closed. Hold in for 3 seconds with no acceleration. Works on my 2021 690 which is same engine and electronics. Awesome bike. Cheers

I'm a lucky owner of a 2021 701sm. I can't recommend you enough to change the stock airbox for a powerpart airbox. It changes the sound completely. I couldn't ride without it anymore. The air admission noise is the cherry on top.

@@rodstawaa I looked them up and I planned on flashing the ECU to get ride of restrictions. (ie you twist throttle 100% but throttle body only opens 70% and doesn’t open to 100%.) From my understanding a PCV or PC6 doesn’t remove those limitations. Am I correct in this thinking??

Still a weapon of a machine though also you can take those baffles out of the muffler you just have to drill out the rivets on the carbon cap then there will be bolts that are tacked In place to stop them vibrating out then just rivet the cap back on after sounds mint

I ride this road all the time on my XSR900. Next time you ride on W Deer Creek Canyon Rd turn left onto Deer Creek Rd and go all the way up to High Grade Rd. A nice section of road once you pass the homes at the bottom before you climb the hill. I highly recommend this road for this area. Then you end up in Conifer.
