The cap won't start your bike even with several caps. The caps there to allow the bike to run once it starts with a push start or boosting. Without the cap with a completely dead battery you won't be able to keep the bike running. This only applies to modern fuel injected bikes. The explanation for this is long. But trust me if your bikes battery ever completely fails, lithium batteries are famous for working fine than completely going dead. U won't be able to start or keep the bike running without that capacitor inplace.

This way disables ABS and TC on the rear wheel but you still have to contend with the possibility of snagging the cable and damaging it, causing the ECU to throw a code. Don't remember if it prevents the bike from running too. If this mod works, then I suppose you could also just remove the sensor from the brake carrier all together, roll up the cable and stash it inside the frame somewhere out of the way. Don't you think?

We started with all new tires. Front tire was a Pirelli MT 21 Considered by most the longest lasteing dirt DOT tire available. Itchi Boots approved. Never changed it but it was so badly worn by the end that it was completly unsafe, I’d definetly change it next time. Rear was a Anakee Wild Lyndon Poskitt Aproved. My buddy had a Mitus E09 Slightly better lasting but extremely hard sidewall and hard to change. We changed are tires at the Toaster House Hostile. Phoned in advance. All the thru Hikers and bikers have parcels dropped there. Left $30 in donasion box for disposal of tires. Never slepped there but was offered the option. Dont fuck around with midgrade chain and sprockets either. Buy the best or they wont make the trip. Moto-Master Fusion Dual Ring Rear sprocket. Factory front sprocket. And Moto-Master Rivet (not Snap Ring) Velocity V6 Gold 520 X Ring. Lasts well over 6000Miles. Or the Dirt Tricks rear sprocket very good to. Front sprock is easy to change if you have to and most dealers have them in stock. But you wont need to change. Do it. It was a trip of a life time. even if you have to do it alone.

But trust me if your bikes battery ever completely fails, lithium batteries are famous for working fine than completely going dead. U won't be able to start or keep the bike running without that capacitor inplace.
This way disables ABS and TC on the rear wheel but you still have to contend with the possibility of snagging the cable and damaging it, causing the ECU to throw a code. Don't remember if it prevents the bike from running too. If this mod works, then I suppose you could also just remove the sensor from the brake carrier all together, roll up the cable and stash it inside the frame somewhere out of the way. Don't you think?
That's exactly what I did. wrap it up and jam it someplace. Before going on a 6000 mile ride from Canada to Mexico and back on the transcontinental divide trail last summer. I hate ABS TC and quick shift. I always ride gravel. ABS if fn dangerous on gravel. I like to feel the back wheel squirm & quick shift blows u accidentally touch shifter and the engine RPM drops. fucking blows.
@@rotor676 Thanks for the confirmation.
I saw that you swapped out rear tires but maybe missed the surrounding details. Did you start with fresh rears and wear them down enough on the trip to warrant new ones? Would love to run the trail without a planned tire change (unplanned is out of my control). Cheers and great video!
We started with all new tires. Front tire was a Pirelli MT 21 Considered by most the longest lasteing dirt DOT tire available. Itchi Boots approved. Never changed it but it was so badly worn by the end that it was completly unsafe, I’d definetly change it next time. Rear was a Anakee Wild Lyndon Poskitt Aproved. My buddy had a Mitus E09 Slightly better lasting but extremely hard sidewall and hard to change. We changed are tires at the Toaster House Hostile. Phoned in advance. All the thru Hikers and bikers have parcels dropped there. Left $30 in donasion box for disposal of tires. Never slepped there but was offered the option. Dont fuck around with midgrade chain and sprockets either. Buy the best or they wont make the trip. Moto-Master Fusion Dual Ring Rear sprocket. Factory front sprocket. And Moto-Master Rivet (not Snap Ring) Velocity V6 Gold 520 X Ring. Lasts well over 6000Miles. Or the Dirt Tricks rear sprocket very good to. Front sprock is easy to change if you have to and most dealers have them in stock. But you wont need to change. Do it. It was a trip of a life time. even if you have to do it alone.
Is there a better way to test this other than slamming on the brakes or absolutely letting it rip on gravel? 😂
Idn bout u but I let it rip every time I ride. 😜
Your choice in music is pretty awesome "old man"! lol. (I'm probably close to your age).... Looks like a great time.. Thanks for sharing it!
I discovered your channel from France and I love it, it reminds me of another channel " MotoTherapy" that I really like, I'm 67 and I've been riding since I was 16. I also have a 690 enduro.. well done for your wonderful videos!😊
My family is originally from France. 🙂 I'm 57 also been riding since about 20 on Honda CR & KX dirt bikes later 1100cc GSXR, among others, then 3 different DRZ400s amazing bike. Currently have EXCF 500 & of course the 690 all have a special place in my memories. I'm just a Hak at making videos but glad you enjoyed it. Thx
Thank you your a legend brother! Hate these sensors
Awesome thanks for the tip. I may end up doing this.
Good tunes! Who is the rock band? Reminds me of Harem Scarem.
Can't remember but you can ask Google on your phone and I'm sure she'll tell ya
Anyone tried this on the 2022 husq 701 sm? When i put some rings behind ABS light comes on when riding so does the check engine light
I also work's on your 22 Husq. Engine light does not come on.
When i tried this afternoon i had a engine light after a few meters driving
@@kevinzeeland I can only state what others are telling me from doing it. and they are saying no engine light. but there is a ABS light that comes on, for 22 KTM and Huskies. Let us know if your engine light continues to stay on. So we can help others in the post.
Yes the abs light is also on. But i think this is pretty normal without the reading from the sensor. Ill try to reset the light and make some more miles on it later today
@@kevinzeeland I cant stand ABS on dirt and Gravel or the quick shift, traction control and even kick stand out clutch out no start. I think anyone with a MX dirtbike background would agree. Were all used to doing it all are selves from the beginning and having the bike do exactly what we want when we want, without any intervention electronics shit that has the potencial to break and leave you stranded 5000 miles from home. I heard that there's a company in Europe cald "P3 Tuning" that will tune your ECU with anything you want.
Great footage, but why the music? Whatever music you choose, it's not going to be liked by some percentage of viewers. I most definitely did not like it, so now 15 minutes in I'm off to another video.
Ok I'll take that as a little constructive criticism because I agree. New to the whole vid making concept. If your thinking of making the trip, don't hesitate even if you have to do it solo. trip of a lifetime. I prepared for 2 years due to covid. And please send me a link to your KZread Vid
It does work on a 2023 GasGas es700 too
Thx I'll change the title & description to include.
U just put some rings behind the sensor and dont get the check engine light? Because i tried on my '22 701 sm and after a few meters i already got the check engine light + abs light on (i think abs light on is normal)
Brilliant vid. Have you done any reinforcement to the sub frame? Cheers!
I haven't other than replacing the 3 main mount bolts with stronger ones, that seem to be a problem. Yes I noticed on a youtube vid that one guy doing the same trip cracked his frame. Have you seen the frame crack and were? I'd like to reinforce mine before next trip if it's a common thing.
I rode over 2000 miles to ride through Atlantic City on a cross country trip last June. Got there just in time for everything to be closed about an hour before sundown. Spent the night in the middle of nowhere about 20 miles away from there.
You should tell us where you were in the description. Would be easy to explain it.
Making videos for a newbie is extremely time intensive. Taking vids is one thing editing and learning software is incredible labour intensive. On as how you've written your comment. I'll take it as constructive CRITICISM, for next time.
What phone mount do you have in the 690?
Good eye. Nobody asks that, and in my opinion, it's the best mount out. It's from HondoGarage.com Perfect squeeze with vibration dampening and wireless charging. I still use a lanyard just incase. But it never has come off. Also used the trail tech center mount from TacoMoto to hard clamp it to the bars. Used at the time a brand new Samsung S20 & it never damaged the camera due to vibration. Like other brands ie: quad lock garbage. ✌🏼
@@rotor676 thank you!
how are these at 70-80 mph ive heard mixed things some say np some say runs at high revs and gets unstable
KTM says 59mpg. But it's more like 50 / 52. The bike is very susceptible to headwinds or crosswinds probably why u hear such a different mix. I carried a 2 gal gas bag the entire trip
Awesome trip, thanks for sharing! Cool to see guys from Stoon do this lol. Great job on the vids, enjoyed all of it!
Thx.
Could you do a little follow up on what mods you made for this trip? Bigger fuel tank, ...
Only 1 big mod. I installed a wide ratio gearbox from Lydon Poskitt racing or from Nova. Much lower 1st and taller 6th. also put the biggest front sprocket that would fit and a larger rear sprocket to match so it lasts longer. Disconnected the kickstand switch and so-called speed shifter just cuz I hate that shit, oh, and removed the smog crap. No extra fuel tank just carried a fuel bag. Maybe your talking about my buddy who had a rally kit installed on his 690. That cost him over 10g and it was total shit. looks good but shit.
@@rotor676 thnxx for response!
@@rotor676could you perhaps say why the rally kit is very bad? I’m contemplating between a rally kit or an auxiliary tank beneath the seat. Loved the adventure btw!!
Wow, 100lbs of gear! Did you really need that much stuff? Good show nonetheless!
Spare HD tubes, tools, spare parts, tow straps, water are what really weigh things down. Still, I could have left some clothes that never used at home. I was just rounding a number off for effect probably more like 70 to 80 lbs I never weight it.
Greetings from Edmonton
✌Brother
Great bikes
I can see you then you have the Rottweiler Windscreen. Is it any good? How is it with buffeting around your helmet? Does it do the job?
It's total crap. It virtually does nothing except keep the bugs & rain off my phone. My buddies boolt on rally kit on the other hand. But that's on extra $5 grand.
I think your videography is just fine. If you run 30+ psi with 4mm tubes you won't have pinch flats and torn valve stems. I ride solo, in my 70's with arthritis, and can't change my own tubes. Thank you for your videos. What drone are you using? Oh, and what sprocket pair are you running?
It wasn't a pinch flat my buddy had. But it was a torn stem. yep too low PSI. Told em many times, but sometimes you have to learn the hard way. DJI Mavic 2. I installed a wide-ratio gearbox, so my sprockets are diff. But I can tell you to use Dirt-Tricks rear sprocket they last 25k miles easy. and just a factory front sprocket. Moto-Master chain good for 15k miles. Biggest front sprocket i can put in there. 17 front 50 Rear turns slower lasts longer. Thanks & Glad u enjoyed it. I watched a few of your vids in the past 2
Great job fellas!! When exactly did you do this ride?
Early July 2022. Some of the hi passes had snow, as seen in the vid. If I did it again I'd make it late july.
Curious what map set you used for your trip? Many use GPS Kevin but I'm sure there are others out there.
I just used GPS Kevin mainly, on my android phone running Backcountry Navigator.
@@rotor676 Thanks!
