Ok cool, that’s what I thought. I’m in US.

Do you install and tune yours? How are the results?

Ok @kev212, another question for you. What year is your 701?

The product page at dynojet says for 2019 model. I reached out to their support and they said that’s the bike they did their tests on so they can’t confirm 2018 compatibility. I don’t think there were any changes to engine or electronics (or anything else) between 2018 and 2019 but I…[Read more]

Pretty interesting video.

Very nice. How is the Nitron treating you around town? I actually am very happy with stock handling, tho have never tracked this one

When ate are you going to put on the PCV?

Haha that’s rad, mate.

Well you are right sir. I went on the site and they are finally offering a vit 701 product. Assume you just got the PCV (as opposed to with the auto tune mod)?

Very interested in your PCV results as I have the Leo decat installed and am sure it’s running lean. Would obviously like some more hp. Are you going to get afr’s charted with your tune?

So kev, 70 hp dyno run, that’s with stock pipes and the decat fitted or do you have a different exhaust config? Husky claims stock bike runs 75 hp, cycleworld put it at 71hp @ 8500rmp.

Very interested in your results with a PCV. Reports from other threads here say there isn’t a map for the vit 701 yet and that there isn’t a connector for our b…[Read more]

Nice Dennis.

I’ve done a lot of fussy mods to my 701, including decat and a piggyback ecu. But the gearing I think gives me the most joy and it’s probably the cheapest mod of anything I’ve done. It’s also very easy to undo if for some reason you are nuts and don’t like it.

Wow man. That’s impressive.

Did you test for water ingress? That would be my biggest concern. And are you going to clean up the junction of where the housing meets the glass?

Your design really illustrates how much of the screen’s front face is just bezel. It’s very odd they way they designed it. And your buttons look so much better and…[Read more]

Mine was just a gasket, very simple and fast warranty fix.

In general, not overfilling the tank will help prevent some of these issues.

If the cylinder is leaking, such as if the replaced seals weren’t installed properly, you’re going to want to take it in. Assuming it’s the slave that got replaced by dealer, if that seal is bad it usually leaks into the engine case so you won’t see any fluid under the bike. If it is leaking into engine, you will want to make the dealer do an oil…[Read more]

I hear ya. But def ride the street triple r also and compare to the others. You will like it. It’s going to be pricier than the Japanese bikes, more or less same as the 701. But the build quality and finish is on another level. And it fucking rips. Think is lighter too.

For what it’s worth, I have a thruxton r and reliability has been great.

I looked through the instructions. So the plate mounts via the passenger peg mounts? Genius. You still can have the passenger pegs, right?

The indicator wiring hole is in the same place my current one was drilled. I might have to change to this one, it’s by far the most minimal unit I’ve seen

Looking awesome brother. That nrc FEK is really slick. Wish I had gone that route tbh.

Maybe it’s not too late. Where do you drill the wiring hole for that one, is it directly below where the tail light slips in? Can you take any close up pix of how the wiring routes to the rear indicators once installed?

Did you have to drill more hole in…[Read more]

Damn dude that sucks. The level of bike theft in the UK is way out of control.

Not that you asked, but I would look hard at a Street Triple R personally. The new ones are bitchin.

@DanimalHeath Aw shit man, sorry to see you go. That’s a crappy list of failures. I haven’t had more than a few gremlins, which for me seems pretty normal for a first year model of a bike (and I own a MV Agusta which sees the inside of a dealer A LOT).

But glad it finally got resolved for you. What are you going to get next?

Site is run by the owner of AOMC.com. He owns a svart 401. I have chatted with him back when there was like 10 people on this forum, and he seems like a good dude.

I have ordered husky parts from the shop directly for my 701. Mirrors, the style seat, a bunch of bolts, ignition cover. Was all smooth, except for the seat was out of stock at…[Read more]

Pic of the ones I linked, installed on my 701

They might have been installed with loctite by your dealer. The best way to break the bond of loctite is to apply high heat such as via a soldering iron on the peg mount. You can google or yt it for more info on removing loctite.
