Understood, I think by mid-May snow has melted in early April and roads / tracks are dry, it still can be just be rainy few days and impact through this, but you cant really plan for this (and this makes it adventure :) )

You're welcome, I hope this very short description of three different routes of Estonian TET helps to plan (at 10:05 in the video), but if you are coming from Scandinavia and want to do just Estonian TET I'd suggest: * plan ~10 days for this * plan to do eastern route + western route and rather skip central route - this way you get all the nice technical sections on the eastern route + islands from the western route * plenty of free camping grounds (they are mostly also on the TET map) and also B&B's (booking.com or airbnb) * end of may until mis september is probably best time (as in Scandinavia :) ) <-- saying this as I see many foreginers coming to "estonian tet" but actually just passing through central route directly to Latvia, and I think they miss out :)

Sveiki! :) - I did last summer the northern part of Latvian TET and it was really nice - I hope to find time to edit and upload episodes about it soon :)

Yep, for every comparision we need to agree what we are comparing - for me this comparision was mostly: can I ride also bigger 890 on Estonian TET and where it feels better and where I'd prefer 690

It made signifficant difference on speeds above 80 km/h, w/o windscreen I had a lot of wind in the chest and had really to hold to handlebar, with the windscreen the wind is nicely up above chest (I speak a little about the windscreen and the product code in the episode where I changed headlight for my ktm690 if you are interested)

Yes and no, I would say - be prepared for the trees on the road - for me as I'm still learning how to ride - carrying a small foldable handsaw has been really helpful to just cut down those trees. It takes some time, but I can do this low risk and even when I'm alone. When you are in a group, probably fastest is to pull bikes over the trees and if you are already good at basic riding and wheelies then I think it is time to strat trying to cross trees while on the bike. But also as you can see they are often fallen in a way where it is not easy to just ride over them (too close to eachother, high from the ground etc) - so in that sense I'd say that riding over small ones is simple but be prepared for ones which you cannot ride over as well :)

Yep, I'll be changing tires on 690, I have already received new set of Motoz Tranctionator Adveture tires for the upcoming season and I'll try switching the front sprocket as well :)

Yep, eastern route is really nice, here in these episodes we didnt had time for southern part, but suthern part close russian and latvian borders is also worth doing :)

I watched it in X2 Speed, nice that you can do that on youtube. But yeah, maybe it should have been a 6 min. video :D

Это ж эстонцы! Что ты хотел то )) that’s why they are from Estonia ))

Glad you liked them and apologies for delays in uploading Day #3 - I hope to find time in upcoming weeks :)

Tänud, mul veel ports musta materjali eelmisest suvest, ehk jõuan enne kevadet puhtaks lõigata ja üles panna :)

Eks ta ole :) Filmida on isegi tore a see materjali kokku lõikamine, eriti kui seda on palju kogunenud, noh, see nõuab pingutust. Ja aega. @@HennExplores

Yep, Estonian TET is pretty nice, specially the Kõrvemaa, Aidu quarry and most of the Southern part close to Latvian border (and of course islands!) - so all in all ~10days of really nice riding close to your home - tervetuloa :)

Thank you for the great suggestion - I already googled about it and I understand my 690 has 16T sproket so I think I should try 15T sproket. I found people complaining that 1st and 2nd gears got too short when they switched, but seems like a easy thing to try and might give results I'm looking for - thank you once more for the idea! :)

Best of luck, be safe! ​@@HennExplores

Sproket change improves this quite a bit. What tyres did you use for this trip?@@HennExplores

Regarding stalling, struggling and problem with foundling the "right gear" on 690 => I had the same problem with my 701 and the answer was to change the sprockets ratio from 15/46 to 14/48 and mount Coober ECU for lower RPM boost. Now it works as it should be :)

@@dezmo701 Sprockets change helps a lot but remember its best to change both chain and sprockets at the same time. I you want more low down grund and a better running bike especially with the euro 5 models check out Pirate racing self programming eco dongle. its great the bike runs perfect and you can change the bike like running no cat or airbox mods with no further mods to the ecu its programms its self.
