    I told ya!!!! I did have a few cutting out issues when I did my first install. If the connecters aren’t secure, they kind of shake. I zip tied everything real good and it fix the problem. If it happens again make sure all the connecters are solid!! Try the traction control off. It’s even better and wheelies forever.

    Freaking died when the engine cut off 😂😂😂😂. Instantly thought damn KTM gave up on CycleCruza. Glad it seems fine. But the RVE has the 690 beat looks wise but I'm basis owning a RVE. That sound the black and orange color scheme looks awesome and definitely a great look when you know you're voiding your warranty.

      I did too. 😂 I heard a big pop and I thought I blew the engine already. haha I was thinking I just wasted all that money for that bike. Stock vs stock, the Duc wins in looks. However, I think its on par now with the mods I did but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

      That is why I put on Shinko 705 ds tires on my YZ and will on this KTM, however, you can''t just ride over everything like you can with a 21" from wheel, you just have to ride different but will ride off-road no problem and is great on the street with the 705 tires.

      It has been a while since I rode this bike because I was waiting for an oem part. Sometimes I forget this bike has a quick shifter because my MT-07 and YZ don't have one, hadn't had one since the Tuono. Without thinking I use the clutch. lol

      All 690/701's do this. Some more so than others. It's a single cylinder, so if you lose the 1 cylinder, there's not any others to "save' it from dying. So if you go messing with the air/fuel ratio on it, good chance you'll make the issue worse. A stock one will do it though as well under the right circumstances. My 2019 was horrible about "flaming out" with just a slip on. It was mostly just an annoyance, but also a safety issue- died mid corner, and entering an intersection.

    If you keep slamming on the gas like a bitch 😂 to hear the exhaust, the mix sometimes will be reacher. And you have some blind sensors after the installation. And the injection trim for stock intake/exaust air flow isn't modified... And it's a big one, and big ones tend to stall more often - just one ignition every two crankshaft laps. Put it all together and... boom! The proof is... everything is ok after restarting. By the way, I guess its mileage has decreased sensibly. But it's very very cool now, there's no question. Congrats, bro. Great bike. Unfortunately KTM is not present here in Brazil - just some crazy guys that put a ridiculous price tag on some very few models over here, while true KTM guys are sleeping...

    • @CycleCruza
      @CycleCruza  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yeah I was a fool with the rev bombing but that sound is so addictive. I'll probably get a custom tune just to ensure everything is tuned perfectly. While there, after the tune I'll have them switch the tires over to the SHinko 705 tires. My first tank MPG stock was 44 mpg so I'm sure it'll probably be 40 or less now. lol My YZ averages about 41 MPG. That sucks KTM is not out in Brazil. At least you have Yamaha?

    • @antoniocarlosacsjr7128
      @antoniocarlosacsjr7128 Před měsícem

      @CycleCruza Yes, bro. But... MT-09 here is still your 2017 version... Only Triumph has been doing a great job over here, with bikes being sold as well as in other countries - 765RS for example. But even so... our last Speed Triple here was the 2017 R model, and didn't came again after 2017, unfortunately. So we missed here the 18-20 RS and the 1200 - never been sold! By the way, my ride now is a 2016 Speed Triple R, wich I love. We don't have the S1000R since 2020, just RR. The F900R arrived just last year - and with just 90 horsepower... the bikes have to pass very restricted emissions regulations to be sold over here, and in general we are poor, unfortunately. Now the new black over here are big trails like GSs and Tigers... This all sucks, bro...
