No, that letter says the license plate bracket’s teeth can misalign with the teeth in the swingarm, resulting in a situation where you think the rear wheel nut is properly tightened while in fact it isn’t.

As I removed that hideous opossum scraper, that can’t be the case on my bike…

Interestingly, I find my brakes perfect since I changed the pads to Brembo SC pads.

very nice!

It should turn off after a few seconds and tell you to release the button. I did hear stories this only works after the second try though…

Realizing this was posted over two years ago?

Your bike didn’t come with a manual?

(they’re damping adjusters: left fork leg: compression, right fork leg: rebound)

Oil color/grimeyness means nothing.

Don’t forget the valves need checked at 6000 miles. That’s the most time consuming.

(I recently did mine myself btw, and they didn’t need to be adjusted, you still want them checked)

“Does anyone know what is done on the 6000 mile service” It’s all in the owner’s manual…

Does the Duke cat bolt straight up on the Vitpilen 701?  Are the mounting points the same?

(I know it doesn’t have the lugs for the black panels)

It doesn’t run particularly lean and most bikes with stainless headers do this. I’ve had quite a few that did the exact same, from BMW 1100GS to Suzuki DR650, aircooled Ducati, etc. They all ran perfectly fine.

It’s the thin walled stainless headers.

Normal, most bikes with thin walled stainless headers do this.

Smoke from the top of the cat could simply be a little leaked oil when the first service was done. It’s nearly impossible not to spill some oil on it when doing an oil change.

These slave cylinders fail on the Vit, the Svart, the SuperMoto 701, and a whole bunch of KTM models…

Nope, it shouldn’t mess with performance.

The K&N filter does nothing for power (it may even let in more fine dust particles). It’s not a restricting element in the airflow. Don’t forget our bikes have the same air filter as the bigger KTM 1190…. it’s the shape of the airbox.

basically, declutter.

You need a different exhaust hanger for the slipon (Pirate racing sells them afaik), but apart from that, this Akra full system is the system to have, and about the only one that tops the stock cat and a slipon. Cheap, it’s not.

“Do you mean the Bezin dongle or the Lambda Killer? They are two different ones.”

I meant the Rottweiler fuel dongle,…[Read more]

Yeah, the stock cat/shoebox is actually a really good design and very hard to beat. Especially for day-to-day midrange torque. I left it on and only removed the insert from my Akra. Bike sounds perfect without being overly loud and sounds much much better than stock.

The fuel dongle cleans up the rough running in the lower rps. It doesn’t give…[Read more]

I would expect the Evotech Performance tail tidy (part PRN014052-02) bolts right up. it was designed for the SP701.
