Brilliant video. Followed this step by step when fitting mine today 😊 You’re not wrong about the instructions that come with it, they’re fluffy at best 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Robbiemoto]

Comments like this make my day. Cheers pal and so glad it was helpful.

[@PaulStevenThomas]

@@RobbiemotoNo problem. Credit where credits due 👍🏻 I would have cocked it up without this video 🤣

[@Mog1290r]

That's cool but I just took the long undertray off and bolted the number plate to the short piece of plastic under the light, took 2 minutes 😁

[@Robbiemoto]

I briefly considered that as that’s what the previous owner of the 701 did but decided I wanted the original gone completely.

[@maxflight777]

I’ve. Just bought a 701, this is very useful… thank you.

[@Robbiemoto]

You’re most welcome.

[@shaney765]

As always, great lil clip mate 👍. Looks a dam sight better than the wind sail that was there lol Looks like a J tech tail tidy to me? Hope you enjoying the SM. Looking forward to the next installment of changes. Cheers Robbie 🤙👌

[@Robbiemoto]

Thanks. Appreciate that. I Fitted the exhaust and fuel dongle yesterday so that vid should be out next weekend.

[@jopsball-turret6969]

Thank you very much! Turned out great. My 23 has the seat removal on the side, not by gas cap…odd

[@Robbiemoto]

I guess by using the word gas you’re in the U.S. or Canada. If so it’s because for what ever reason KTM hasn’t updated your bikes to the same spec as European bikes. Your speedo screen is still the older one and not updated like the Euro ones. Really don’t know why. Anyway glad the video was of help. Enjoy your ride.

Red and green tape … port and starboard! 😂

[@ramonbostic]

Yes, they turn indicators are for sure different! Took a lot of cross-referencing to get them in their proper location!

[@Robbiemoto]

Yeah. Thanks for that insightful comment.

[@tommyolsen2399]

Is the rear on my 2024 690 enduro the same you think?

[@Robbiemoto]

I believe so. I think the main difference between them are wheels, forks and handlebars. I’d Double check with your dealer just to make sure though.

Got a link for the tail tidy bud

[@Robbiemoto]

I’ve just added it into the description as well. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163915790219?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gnU-ZYqGSoO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ai95ekoXTze&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@Robbiemoto cheers mate My exhaust comes this week and the dongle Bike exactly same as yours. Hoping the dongle makes a good difference. I've fitted the filter but not the open lid

[@Robbiemoto]

@@turbodave6068 It makes a massive difference. Low speed and low revs stutter virtually gone. Plenty of poke. I didn’t really notice a difference on my husky as I’d hardly rode it without the dongle and pipe but I’ve done a few hundred on the 690 bog standard. I did the 15 minute idle thing then went for a ride and I was very happy. I fitted the exhaust and dongle last night posted on my Instagram. Vid’ should be up next weekend.

[@turbodave6068]

@@Robbiemoto I've just put a 15t sprocket on also Have u changed the filter ?

[@Robbiemoto]

No. Just the dongle and pipe. I’m looking at getting it mapped and open filter. DNA I think. I’m also looking at doing the 1290 as well.

[@jasunto]

Why are these not in the US? Ebay?

[@Robbiemoto]

I don’t know. Here’s the link. Maybe if you ask they’d ship one over. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163915790219?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gnU-ZYqGSoO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ai95ekoXTze&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
