Installed a Rottweiler performance intake on my ’14 690 Enduro

---------------------------------------------------------
I’ve had a Powercommander V and a couple of other mods sitting
on a shelf while I was figuring out what to do with the intake
on the bike. Well when I noticed this Rottweiler I started
poking around and decided to give it a go.
The kit comes disassembled but it’s pretty self explanatory, has
solid directions, and there’s plenty of info online. It had
everything needed, including an O2 plug in case you haven't done
that yet and you use the air sensor and sas hose from the stock
airbox. Assembly was quick and the parts seem sturdy with good
hardware, a big oval filter and, of course, an array of
stickers.
There are pics at the Rottweiler site and other places, so I'll
just toss you guys some install pics. Also, since I removed all
the smog/sas stuff, the stock vent tube was inserted but then
cut it off and plugged it with an extra bolt/nut.

I've only taken the bike around a quick 10 minute loop through
the neighborhood a couple of times so I'll have to get back with
a good ride report. Also, I installed the PCV at the same time
so the results are a mix of the intake, PCV and map.
However, my initial impressions are good. The butt dyno is
reporting a little more go across the rev range with the mods
installed. Most important to me, it didn't lose anything on the
bottom and seems to pull better from down low all the way to the
limiter. The bike doesn't sound much louder until you really
give it a big twist on the go stick and it really speaks up near
WOT. Under normal public road operation, the new intake sound
doesn't overpower the exhaust note nor reach levels that might
cause the neighbors to call the police for just doing a 15min
idle reset.
The only real complaint I have so far is that the intake tube is
blue... c'mon! We've been eating orange for how long and we
couldn't get a matching tube or at least one in black? Besides
the minor color quibble, this mod was one I was glad to get
crossed off the list as it made for a good compliment to a full
exhaust and powercommander V.
The 690 is running amazingly smooth and I'll post more about
riding impressions and the PCV asap.

I didn't add the PCV with the Rottweiler install, but I did add
a Rottweiller Fueling dongle(sold for the v-twins). My bike has
an FMF silencer, Dealer installed reflash for the aftermarket
silencer and filter.
Seems to pull harder from down low and midrange. I don't notice
any material increase in intake noise. Bike runs perfect!
The filterskin prefilter is going to be so cool on 10-day trips
into the dusty world. I'm trying two filterskins on top of the
Rottweiler right now. This way I pull one off every day or two
and keep the main foam filter fresh.
I had ordered the new AUS Uni prefilter that includes a new lid
for the airbox with a rectangular metal frame and foam filter.
That would have worked very well, but I have a Safari tank and
didn't like the fit.

Nice RR! The Rottweiler site said the PCV was optional and that
the maps the dealer has would be fine but like I mentioned, I
already had the PCV from before. However, good to confirm it's
not required for the intake.
10 days! Man, I wish... my riding time is improving but it'll be
awhile before I can negotiate more than about 5 days away from
work/kids in one stretch. Have fun!
Back to the intake, ran it around town today for some errands
and I noticed less popping off-throttle as well.

Would you guys say that the increase in intake noise would not
be annoying on long trips? I've read reviews on the KTM Power
Parts EVO air box cover, and they said the increased noise was
too much.

Not at all. I posted earlier that it's rather quite at little to
no load like cruising down the highway. I'm working on getting
some video together from before/after the installation and I'll
post it here. When the seat is on and you're moving, it's really
not noticeable until you go 85%+ on the throttle and even then
it's not over powering.
Side note, I initially used the map from the power commander
site but just noticed they have downloads available at the
Rottweiler site for the intake with full exhaust. I'm in midst
of getting the coupon to download the map.

I don't have a problem at all with noise. I didn't tell my wife
about the alleged noise issues and on over 250 miles last
weekend, no complaints. you'll hear
Go for it. The ease of changing filterskins on longer trips is
worth the cost of admission.
