i would not go to 10000km on an oil change, unless you’re only commuting?

7500 seems like a good average.

you say, “replaced with motorex oil” , did you mean the clutch oil replaced by motorex?

really easy to see if ABS is working… just hit that rear brake hard, you’ll feel it tapping back.

i advise you to wear earplugs, i always wear custom made ones.

i might also have somewhat ‘sensitive ears’ , but i just want to save my hearing and have more quite and comfort while riding.

ciao, Hannes.

sent you a PM.

would this dongle (these values) also apply to the 401?

the smartmoto website doesn’t list one for the 401, neither for the duke 390?

can we see the values of this O2 eliminator?

indeed alot of money ,just for a downtube :-/

okay okay,i’ll get the 15w50 :-p
i never spoke about putting cheap oil in it, just a slightly thinner ,more readily available quality 10w40 oil.

because this one has plain bushings,in contrary to most thumpers that have roller/ball bearings,i’ll go for the max quality oil.

because the 10w40 is more common and therefor cheaper then the 15w50.

if this would do no harm, then i don’t see the benefit of the more expensive oil.

Hi,

can you really unplug the O2 sensor and get the engine to run richer/smoother?

i’d like to test this, if knowing somebody else tried this too on the 401.

are ste stock 401 svartpilen bars 22.8mm or 28mm (like fatbar)?

i’d like to try the stock svarts bar too (even little more upright position).

the latest bikes are being assembled in India, so your dealer should check all known “issues”.
the things i read were just poor assembly, so lack of proper latest inspection prior to shipping bike to dealers.
poor starting has also been found by the main wire to the starter relay not being tightned as it should…hope your dealer can ge you past…[Read more]

this is a close-up pic of my setup. how i did my conversion.

aestetics its ok, just maye less resistant to twisting the bars in case of a crash, that’s all i can think of.

stock distance on my dirtbike (also husqvarna) is 110mm and on the vit i have about 85mm now. the handlebar on the dirtbike has offcourse a much harder life :-p
i’ll try to post a pic of my set-up today

are we talking about the 701 or 401 engine?
i’ll be changing the oil soon on my 401 and was planning on just putting 10w40 semi synth oil in?

i did drill the original top triple clamp of my vit and also used Neken bar clamps.

the holes where the clipons used to sit ,are covers up with rubber/plastic caps.

i also made the wiring longer myself to keep the connectors behind the headlight.

looks,rides and feels good 😀

i did have a look at the airbox lid. when examining, this seemed like the airbox is being opened up on the ‘clean air side’ instead of the other side of the oem filter?

basically you’re making 2 airfilters (to be kept clean on maintenance).

i’d be inclined to open up the ‘dirty air side’ of the housing on the vit and svart this is the…[Read more]

since there were no more kits available , i just drilled 2 holes in the stock triple clamp of the vit and put bar clamps and a nice bar onto it.

i had to make the wires longer, so took quite some time of soldering everything up.

i just removed the clipon bars and plugged those with a black rubber cap.

the bar clamps are a bit closer together…[Read more]

i would not go upto 10000km ,maybe if all you do is commute, then ok but still…
