Why is the speedo on this bike nicer than a brand new one?
Probably because it's cheaper 🤫
What size are those wheels and tires may I ask?
Original rear wheel and rear rim spoked to a front hub. The tyres are Heidenau K60.
@@PhilTonic thank you 🙏🏾
That is a nice review Phil, I ride a 701 enduro, which shares parts with your bikes, but I never thought to my 701 as a long distance capable bike until now. Maybe i shold ride my 701 on my next long distance tour.
Yes definitely! Slap a comfort seat on it and you're good to go!
Damn what a bike, first gen 690 is like uncle for my 701, I love this bike so much, it's really high, it allows you to watch over the cars, you can custom almost everything and I'm glad that your is still running
Yeah it's great bike! Thanks!
I love this bike! I miss mine :)
Great video. Thanks
Thanks for the story! Greatly appreciated.
You're welcome.
Hallo Phil, bestimmt wieder ein tolles Video , gehe ich mal einfach von aus, oder anders ausgedrückt bewährte Qualität wie wir es von dir gewohnt sind. Meine Bitte, kannst du vielleicht mal ein Video machen wie es eure Meinung nach um Großbritannien steht ? Sowohl deine Meinung , als im besonderen die Meinung deiner Ehefrau . Das würde mich wirklich sehr interessieren . Vielen lieben Dank, für das tolle Video . DLzG Marco Ach so, wenn es geht bitte auf deutsch.
in Deutsch wäre cool
I had my 690 Enduro for like 40000km before it got stolen also 2008 model :c
Oh no. That's a shame!
I still love the sound of 690s. I don't think I will ever buy one again though, because when I bought my 2008 SMC (used, MANY previous owners, like >12) the engine seized after 150km. 1700€ Engine Rebuild later and it ran awful. No power whatsoever, rattled like crazy and didn't like being on, just turned off or didnt start at all most days. Sold it and went back to Suzuki. Never regretted it a second. Mine was restricted to 32hp (old A2 law) back then, it was so slow that my tuned 125 two stroke outran it in a drag race (after which the engine blew up).
Oh my god sounds like you had a lot of action with your bikes 😅
@@PhilTonic Yep, 10 Bikes in 6 years. Had 4 125cc bikes. First one was a project bike the previous owner stopped and half of the parts were either missing or broken beyond repair. Second one passed TÜV before buying it and got seized by police 1 day after registering it because it was "too illegal". Third one blew up and snapped the conrod into thousands of pieces on the first ride after I bought it. "Freshly rebuilt" engine with receipts and all, after disassembling it I found rust inside the engine... 4th was finally my first 4 stroke and it worked so incredibly perfect, that it even survived a broken crankshaft bearing for way over 10.000km before giving up. Rebuild the engine in my shed with a friend and it still runs, saw it 2 times on Kleinanzeigen with many more kilometers on it. Still same custom decor, still same broken plastics and whacky spokes (miscounted while respoking them so the front looks _slighty odd_ .) Safe to say I'm super unlucky. 10 Bikes, 1 never even got assembled, 1 got seized and lost registration, 4 engines blew up and the rest were cheap beater bikes that were too angry to die (Suzuki GS500E, GSX600F, GSX1100F). Currently on my second 2002 Hayabusa, because the first one ate its crankshaft bearings at 160kph.
Kann man nicht einfach das Drehrad beim Mikrofon weglassen..es ist doch so oder so auf volle Lautstärke oder..
Direkt geht nicht, ist sonst zu laut. Der Regler lässt auf maximaler Lautstärke keine 100% durch.
Also zumindest genau dieser Regler zeigt das besagte Verhalten. Hat mich auch gewundert, weil ich es von anderen Regler nicht gewohnt bin. Früher hatte ich den Regler aus dem Shure Flight Adapter Kit benutzt, aber den muss man deutlich leiser einstellen, damit nichts übersteuert.
Great video! I have a 2023 690r Enduro and it is nice to know how reliable the bike is. I hope the rocker issue is now fixed on the newer bikes. I also had a 2009 690r and remember switching out some rockers on that one.
Thanks. The 690s from 2019 have a revised valve drive. Completely different concept.
I am hoping I am as lucky as you with my 2022 Husky 701!
The Euro 4/5 models should in theory be even more reliable!
Wait... YOU went to Eastern Europe but you didn't visit Romania? Blasphemy!
I wanted to, but I didn't have enough time.
@@PhilTonic Hahaha didn't expect a reply! If you need any tips or recommendation you can contact me anytime. Thanks for posting this, I drive a Versys but this bike drew my attention in the past few weeks :)
Hallo Phil ich habe eine ktm smc 690 2011 mit 28.000 km gelaufen. Bisher nie was kaputt gegangen . Was kann an dem baujahr oft kaputt gehen. Habe angst das bald was passiert
I've been wanting to buy one of these but I think you sold me on it. Not sure which version yet. I have been looking hard at the Enduro with a bigger front wheel. Thanks for doing this in English.
Thank you. You're welcome. In my opinion it doesn't really matter which one you get. The later years are more road focused. The old 2011 model has 270mm of travel front and rear. The newer ones have considerably less. But that makes them more stable in fast corners.
thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
Legend!
Good review! Thanks for taking the time to do it in English. I would like to buy the bike if it really needs to go!
German Police care about the stock airbox!? Serious business. Thank you for the detailed overview. Myself and my partner have a couple LC4 engines with over 45k kms. I just bought mine, owner just replaced the camshaft. Seems like the main issue is those rocker arms for the older models. Thanks for the vote of confidence. We have the enduro version, and they are fantastic for ADV use. Eat motorway speeds all day, then blast up virtually anything off road. The rider is by far the biggest limitation on these machines. I agree with not trusting the dealer. Particularly with older machines, they have no idea how to troubleshoot stuff logically.
I got chased by police once. Luckily they didn't check under the seat when they stopped me :D
Thanks for the video and all your replies to viewers! I recently got a Husqvarna LR 701 enduro and love the 500km range 😀 ❤❤❤
Nice! I remember being very keen on the 701 just because of those tanks. Have you ever managed to use all the fuel in one sitting? 😉
@@PhilTonic hahaha, indeed 500km is way too long to ride without stopping 🙂 it does give a lot of peace of mind; lots of spare fuel AND 2 completely separate fuel systems; 2 fuel pumps, etc... The after market fuel tank systems do NOT offer that...
The larger tanks would be great for doing the Trans America Trail.
Great video. I have a 2007 I bought used. I loved the look of the Beaker front end. I plan on running it forever bc I'm on the fence for newer model ktm reliability. I offen consider something more touring or cruiser as I age but every ride I cant deny the fun of a capable lightweight bike.
That was actually the first KTM I have ever ridden and after 10 km I knew I had to get a KTM. Eye opening moment in terms of: "Oh, this is how a motorbike can feel like, too!"
Es ist ein "alter" Motor. Diesen Motoren EURO4 und EURO5 bzw. Bald EURO5+ aufzuzwingen trägt nicht unbedingt zur Haltbarkeit bei. Je höher die Literleistung, je höher auch der Verschleiß. Für das, was der Motor ist und kann, sind die Motoren gut.
Naja viel hat sich da nicht getan. EVAP kam dazu und ein bisschen überarbeiteter Kat. Ob der neue Ventiltrieb rein Euro 4 geschuldet ist?
@@PhilTonic ja, Kat in der Regel weiter nach vorne und noch etwas magerer. Bald dann Zwei Lambdasonden usw. Auf jeden Fall mehr Aufwand. Wird leider immer mehr.
I own a 2020 husky 701 at 3000km i was on my 3 engine blew up twice and blew 1 clutch slave
😯
I have never wanted a 690 nor have I looked at it too much, but now I want one to ride and look at Well done on the review, very calm watch lad!
Thank you!
Weiterhin gute Fahrt. 👍🏻 danke für das Video und die Infos. Grüße aus dem Ktm Forum 😁
in more or less 6 years, i hope to do a video like this about my Mt09 :D
Had one last year, didn't like it, I prefer my DRZ400 more reliable and just feels better, waiting for the 2025 verssion of both bikes to jump back in.......great video thou.....
Thanks a lot!
3:52 man this windshield looks like a cosmetic upgrade, must be like the first good looking windshield
Hello i know it s an old video but i have an xmoto and i always thought about putting a fender under the headlight as you did but never found one that i could ve liked.Yours looks beautiful could you still tell me what brand is that?
It's not mine, it's the bike of a friend's son. Sorry I can't help.
thx for video :))
You're welcome!
We have the 2017 KTM 1290 Super Duke's R, we bought them brand new, they have now 151 000km and have crossed 20 diferent countries 😆😆
Wow!
buy a honda, yes they can have problems too, but its the best bet
My wife rode a CBR 600 RR and the stator died at 40.000 km. Had to get the bike towed. Not that safe.
What Honda compares to the 690?
The closest one would be the FMX.
Your English is excellent 👍. The rocker arms may not have been getting proper lubrication. From the wear in the pictures, it looks like they were not getting oil. Friction will both remove material, and reheat & re-temper it making it softer and vulnerable to wear.
hey dude if its not too much bother could you tell me what gear you wear looks very tidy
Büse B Racing.
@@PhilTonic cheers mate 👍
this is awesome to see. i bought a 690 from the dealer last year and i absolutely love it. i did have to go back to the dealer for various fixes under warranty for example: cam chain tensioner had to be replaced because the bike made al kinds of pinging noises on startup sometimes my radiator had to get replaced because it cracked at the mounting brackets and it started leaking.
Currently own a 690 SMC 2008. Got the bike at around 28k km with a broken odometer (due to vibrations, known KTM 690&990 issue), managed to fix the original one partially in order to check how many kms it had. 78.000km at the moment -Replaced speedo/odometer with a known good one, took it apart, glued every single plastic bit that can break due to vibrations, hot glued the lcd connections, all good now. -Replaced Voltage Regulator, it spiked up voltages for miliseconds, untraceable basically, throwing error codes & messing up the ecu & timing. -Replaced piston & rings instead of just rings at 50k km, bike didn't fail, I had a big trip upcoming, wanted to be completely sure it doesn't die on me -Replaced fuel pump & fuel filter with a billet aluminium one (a bit low on pressure, bike ran just fine, got a billet filter because the brushes in the OEM pump gunk up the Mahle filters really quick -Rebuilt clutch slave -Replaced clutch master, the Magura mineral oil bullshit system sucks, my slave & master broke at different times, otherwise I would've replaced it with something that runs on Dot Brake Fluid -Replaced injector after cleaning it too many times, bad gas is part of the problem. -Butterfly Valve stepper motor, luckily I found another broken throttle body and the owner agreed to sell the stepper separately. (It broke almost at the same time as the voltage regulator) -Repacked the Akrapovic twice since 30.000km, the compression just destroys the packaging making the exhaust sound hollow & broken. -Akrapovic carbon endcap once due to it cracking from vibrations,heat & compression escaping around the rivets. -wheel bearings, steering stem bearings, sprocket carrier bearings (690s don't appreciate jumping & wheelies that much) -in-tank fuel light sensor, also managed to fix the old one -intake manifold rubber hose, it simply broke due to the bike backfiring on intake, it does that like 10 times a year blowing the throttle body off the intake, carry a 7mm socket with you and you're covered. -starter relay I ride pretty hard, wheelie, jump & go on track pretty much on a monthly basis, I live in a mountain area. The only issue which left me stranded on the side of the road was the voltage regulator, bike wouldn't start when the broken regulator got hot to touch, or it would start but it backfired like it was about to explode. For anyone thinking about buying a Euro3 KTM 690, get a Vgate OBD Scanner & obd interface cable for it, TuneEcu can save your ass if the bike leaves you on the side of the road, keep the "KTM 690 EFI 2008 - 2013 : Idiots Guide" as a pdf on your phone & you'll be good to go. DON'T GET AN AKRAPOVIC, either keep the stock exhaust, get an Arrow/LeoVince/G.P.R. or Wings exhaust. The Akra is a moneypit. I got the bike in 2018 & I will probably keep it until it is unfixable .. probably hang it on the garage wall when it completely blows up or convert it to electric. 100% my favourite all-around bike so far. Would buy the newer model if I had the money
They also can leak and break due to water damage. The ones with round buttons. Mine from 2008 SMR (pelican nose) has a bit of water damage on the circuit board but still works thankfully.
I have a 690 with similar mileage and the same issues as you had. I would still buy another one. Have a 990 smr with 90000 on it now too
Great informative review, awesome bikes I have an 08 enduro LC4 with only 8000 miles from new, only nagging issue is the bleeding fuel pressure FI flicker on start and occasional stall which having changed the fuel pump for a kemsko aftermarket one I believe it to be the stupid nylon fuel lines possibly leaking or seals (I’ve had it out 4 times now..) I am so frustrated I am just about to spend £425 on a whole assembly (fuel pump, fuel lines, plastic cover, filters and clips..) for a genuine OEM replacement….when you love the bikes you have to spend what it costs and these early bikes, as I’m sure the newer ones also, are a riot when the mood takes..ride safe 💪👍
I bought a 2020 about a month ago and so far I'm loving it. It's such a good machine when you live in a city with dodgy roads. The Canadian Prairies have extreme temperatures and soft foundations which generate potholes. I'm surprised these bikes aren't better sellers given how capable and fun they are compared to the alternatives. I plan to do all the maintenance myself so it's encouraging to hear confirmation that it's straightforward.
Enjoy your new bike!
Sound ist gefühlt 10x besser als bei der KTM (original auspuff)
Ist schon etwas besser bei der Duc, ja.
Ich habe eine Wave Bremsscheibe auf meiner 2011 smc eingebaut, und der Tacho stimmt nicht mehr, was könnte der Grund sein?
Wenn man dieses Motorrad normal , sportlich bewegt . Also nicht nur auf einem Rad und Bournouts . Dann hält eine 690 viel länger als jeder erwartet . Auch die neuen Modelle :) Einfach noch sehr gute Motorräder . Auch wenn sie einen schlechten Ruf haben als Öltanker weil sie eher schwerer sind , vorallem die neuen Modelle .
Ich finde 160kg vollgetankt jetzt nicht unbedingt schwer.
@@PhilTonic ne , aber im Vergleich zu dem sie immer gezogen wird . Sie wird ja immer mit excs und anderen wettbewerbsmaschinen hergenommen 😅
@@PhilTonic fie Leute vergleichen sie gegen diese umbauten die mal ein ganz anderen Zweck hatten. Ich find 160 kg mit abs und den ganzen Quatsch an Board auch mega . Und fährt halt einfach gut .
7:10 the hole in the fuel filter to me looks a bit too regular shape to be just chafing in the tank, it looks more like a round blade cut... 7:42 you mention knocking issues, and you also have had blown rocker arms; do those incidents have any timely connections..? For the fuel filter, I suggest changing every 10 000km, or so. I am at my 3rd filter now, closing in on 30 000km mark, and last year I cleaned the injector. Got noticeable addition of torque to the lower RPMs. Previously I was not able to get the bike off of standstill on 2nd gear, especially at idle RPM, which it is now capable after cleaning. Also, intake rocker arm bearing got stuck around 13 000km, so I had similar top end rebuild with valves and camshaft.
There are a few possible factors that might have caused the cam shaft failure. Unfortunately you cannot look at them in isolation anymore.
@@PhilTonic sure. My idea is that the knocking might not be a fuel filter issue. Of course, you will lose fuel pressure in that case, so it will run lean, if at all. It's a bit or a miracle that it was running, but maybe under presure the fuel filter material has been pressing against the hole and plugged it.. For me, there is no reason pointed why the rocker failed. They were checked in 10 000km service by my request, and I actually asked it they should be replaced. They did punch the pins then, to make sure they stay put. 3000km later I needed the top end rebuild. So instead of spending 1000 EUR for the rebuild, it would've cost me 250 EUR for the rocker arms earlier on..
I never even knew this bike existed.. thank you for the video i have been thinking about a bike to commute to work that isn't too big but can do motorways no problem. This one looks great.
It can do motorways, but if that is what you'll mainly be driving on I wouldn't recommend a 690. With it being a single cylinder and all, I find it is far from comfortable to do 60+ for longer periods of time. Maybe the new double counterbalanced versions with a larger front sprocket fitted would make it more bearable.
@@krrmoto5048 Thanks for the reply, well the motorway part is only 25 miles.. the only problem is it's the busy part of the M6 that gets silly jammed if one car brakes down as theres no hard shoulder now.. i would be more than happy to do 40-50mph through all that when they stood still for hours?
@@murdock6450 yes for filtering they’re great, it would probably work well for your application. Real fun bike
@@krrmoto5048 Thank you.. will look more into these then :)
