First service at 1,000 km

The first service matters more than any visit after it: it drains the oil that carried the metal particles of engine break-in. Booked at a dealer it runs about €140, and skipping or stretching it is the cheapest way to buy an expensive problem. Here is what the workshop does:

  • Engine oil and filter change
  • Chain tension, wear and lubrication
  • Brake pads, discs and fluid level check
  • Fastener torque check and electronic diagnostic read-out

What to buy for the 701 Supermoto's next service

Picks that match the manual's spec, chosen editorially and checked for fitment.

  • Engine oil

    Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W/50, 4 L

    The spec sheet asks for full synthetic 10W-50 meeting JASO MA2, and this is the oil KTM fills at the factory. Paying for the brand on the sticker is optional; meeting the spec is not.

    A 4 L jug covers two full changes with top-up to spare

  • Oil filters

    HiFloFiltro HF155 + HF651 Filter Set

    The LC4 engine runs two filters per change, not one, and this set is both of them. HiFlo builds original-equipment filters; the set replaces the KTM and Husqvarna OEM part numbers exactly.

    One set per oil change, plus the two oil screens cleaned

What 701 Supermoto owners actually watch

  • Identical LC4 care to the 690 SMC R: clean oil on time, yearly torque check, listen to the top end at valve services.
  • Supermoto tyres square off fast; the handling transformation from a fresh set is worth budgeting for.

Frequently asked

At 1,000 km. It is mostly an oil and filter change plus a full checklist, and it matters more than any later visit: it flushes out the metal particles from engine break-in. Expect around €140 at a dealer.
How often does the Husqvarna 701 Supermoto need an oil change?
Every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Expect roughly €155 at a dealer, or the price of oil and a filter if you do it yourself.

Every 20,000 km. Budget around 2 hours of workshop labour plus spark plugs when it comes due.
