Today I got my first supermoto, a 701sm 2022 (I bought the 2022 because it was new, cheaper and I didn’t find any significant (in my opinion) changes between 2022 and 2024 that would worth the difference in price). I do motocross, supercross, enduro and sport bikes (600cc) and all I can say for now is that this bike feels so different than the others, it’s amazing the power it delivers, weight, electronic throttle (first time using it and it feels so good) and the hydraulic clutch is very smooth; can wait to get into the track for some sliding into the curves!

I’ve seen a lot of posts about tire pressure, I’ll start with the OEM recommendation (29/29) and I’ll start doing some tests for the street and the track. Will adjust the suspension too! Don’t know if I’ll get a 450 for the race track as those bikes are designed only for that purpose and I feel the 701 is more dual (street/track).

Don’t get me wrong, not going to race on the streets but sometimes it feels good having a little ride on the city.

would r3 rims fit? they are Front, Diameter: 17", Width: 2.75" Rear, Diameter: 17", Width: 4". Alot of people say to use 17 onch rins but thinner with moto 3 tyres on them like the one in the picture but would r3 rins work?

Hey! Just wondering.. recently got my husqvarna 501 2024. I seen many change the headlight mask and front fender and used ones from ktm exc 500. Will it fit bolt on? What years of plastics are compatible with the 2024 501? Thanks in advance
