Yea sorry, that was not clear. Yes I have the fueling dongle installed.
The airbox does increase sound of the bike. The suction of the intake is almost louder than the slip on.

I have had it off and on. Usually after a water wash or wet ride. I douse the rotor and caliper in simple green. Then hit the rotor with brake clean on a new rag and it stops.
I THINK the abs messes with lever feel. Not too sure.
The storage space is the SOLE reason I want the rott intake kit...

they are noisy motors for sure, but i'm sure with how long you've had your bike, you know what it sounds like. mine sounds like any other 690 i've had, not good, but normal for KTM

It actually sounds like my damn decompression weights are loose again. Guess ill pull the valve cover ahead of time this go round to see wtf is going on.

Got video?
no, donno if it'd do it justice anyways. I can try
Either way, i'll pull the valve cover here (probably this week) and take a picture if i find anything crazy. About time to check my valves anyways i guess.

Thisll be the first so i donno. Called dealer, said $250 plus parts and 2 weeks out. Wondering if this is my best bet if I'm thinking there will be a warranty issue. Hate to tear into this thing and find and issue and bolt it back together just to take it to the dealer. 2 weeks is kinda long tho...

so put a little video together. Someone already has an in depth 701 valve check video, i just put this together to add a couple tips that i feel like would have been helpful for me to know right out the gate. Also took a couple pictures how to get the feeler gauge on the hardest valve to check (since that plastic piece gets in the way) and how the marks should line up so you know you're at top dead center (TDC). Hope it helps you out.
On another note, what do you guys think about the decompression system? Too much play? Anyone know the spec for the bolts with the springs on them?

Also, if u can find a feeler gauge with 45* ends itll def make it easier than a straight set

A lot of the noise comes from the cam chain being loose at idle (Hydraulic cam chain adjuster).
I put an after-market, manual cam chain adjuster in mine, and it quieted-down a lot !

Yes mostly idle, wonder if that's it. Any way to check?

should be a grey sticker on your frame right by the valve cover on the left hand side of your bike that has the spec range on it. If yours does not I can take a picture of it later, lmk. You can see the sticker right at the beginning of my video, .10mm-.15mm for the intake and .20mm-.25mm for the exhaust.
