I rode an 890R for 3 years, off road a lot, then I got a 690R. The 690 feels like a full on dirtbike right outta the box compared to the 890R. Around 120lbs lighter. SO much easier to do any kind of off roading on the 690. Which is a no brainer, who ever said "I want a near 500lb dirt bike" ? The 690 is a laugh a minute, wheelies, slides, easy to turn around in tight spots, it hauls ass.....75mph on road is no problem for hours.

Very good info thank you, I m gonna fallow you. Next years 2023, I m gonna change my bike for this one ( I RUN R1200GS 2018) but now I just do day trip or small trip with.. I do long trip with my Overland truck ( Tacoma Offroad)... so I when run lighter bike and more Offroad capabilities... this one the ktm 690 enduro r look perfect for have more fun daily...

Hi! thank you for your support! I have also other bikes like the Ducati Pikes Peak but this one is what I use the most for fun and offroad adventures. Stay safe!

Very nice video, i did the same to my 690 enduro r, i removed the passenger footpegs, change the slip on, changed the footpegs.. i have reduced weight, but again put more weight on the bike because i put the lower crash bars, skid plate small rear rack.

Most 690 "builds" involve adding weight. Rally tower, guards on every part, super heavy tires, lots of ways to add bling and weight. I like the Wings muffler, they are over 600.00 in 2024. I will figure something else out.

Cool tips 👍👍👍 nice project

you can still miss the weight with the collector, replacing it with the titanium tekmo, which is less noisy in addition. you can also save 1kg by removing the antipollution system: EVAP, CANISTER, SLS with a map you will gain enormously in engine approval and reliability after that would be to change the fairings with carbon, the tank cap, the axles of the wheels, the discs, the crown. after that it quickly costs a bit expensive 😅 it is possible to lower the weight to 130kg dry

@alkane Thank you for your feedback! regarding the removal of antipollution system: EVAP, CANISTER, SLS..it may affect the inspection approval as I still need to ride it in public roads. the remaining mods you suggested might become a very expensive for the outcome maybe... In any case awesome feedback

que pasa!..cant wait for my 23 to arrive!nice video!

Congrats! Indeed a very happy 2023 will be!

well, KTM webside says that 690 Enduro R already has Lithum battery. Which year's model are you reviewing? Otherwise, top tips, thanks!

Bom vid3o eu procuro uma alongador de suspensao frontal para a levantar na frente e talvez um assento melhor que o de fabrica

Excellent project. let me know where did you get the Shido battery? Cheers!

Which rally are you aiming for? Europe? Africa? In Europe, I'll skip rallytowers and go as light as possible. A simple roadbookholder is more than enough.

Im planning to start Europe Rallies and then we will see. My dream is doing desert Rallies...My idea would be to go for the new Superlight kit from Aurora because it adds extra wind protection and only weights 2,5kg..what do you think?.

@@pedrosousaGO I ride a 701 enduro and use it for rally events too... I also was thinking about the Light kit its looks really promising und you upgrade the awful lighting of the 690/701 platform. I would advice you to get a cumpan (Display) is really handy and easy to install. Its Is really good for monitoring your engine temp. These things are taking super long to get the right oil temp (Will save you from reving your engine too early) and off-road you do not over heat the engine .. i had similar foots pegs of yours the are really grippy but they fuck up your boot real fast :( I changed to the rally pegs due too this fact there are more pricy but boots are aswell haha looking forward to the project developing :)

@@alkane6467 Explorer is the best approach but price is prohibitive to go for it in one move. My idea is to start with the new Superlight kit and when the fuel range becomes an issue either going for the rad Garage (extra 6L) in the front or the Aurora Super 690 kit (extra 15L). Cheers
