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]

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.

@pioneer401 those look pretty swank.

I am using these front and back. Pricey but small and crazy bright. They are actually quite a bit smaller than they look in the retail photos. I’ll take a pic of them on the bike if you want.

Should be. I put on rizoma leds.

This is the same one @701Norway linked, plus a little angle bending of the plate mount. I ditched my evotech unit for this, smaller and saved some ounces along the way.

I removed them ages ago. As the others mentioned it’s just adhesive and not difficult to do. Dental floss will probably break if you go that route, a decent test monofilament will work better. Heating them up definitely helps. Goo gone will get rid of the remaining adhesive.

It’s most likely just a gasket. They will replace it under warranty.

For what it’s worth, the Oberon is a better unit and not wildly expensive (but also not free like a warranty replacement). Installing it will not void any warranty on the bike, except if it were to fail it would not be replaced under warranty. I have it and glad I put it on.

Nice. Do you notice any difference in shifting outside of the slip fix? Outside of the rare slip, I really love how smooth and slick the clutch feels on this bike.

Nice work. How much does it weigh?

Stating the obvious but pretty much any disc lock will fit in your jacket pocket if that’s enough protection for you.

I’ve seen front and back axle sliders I think from evotech and r&g, but no actual frame sliders. Not sure if the frame is same from Duke 690 but you could try and let us know 😉

In any case with the tank protruding out as far as it does, doesn’t seem like anything would protect that from a drop or crash.

Epic!

Looking good mate. That tank bag mount is almost surely going to do bad things to the sublime satin paint underneath it. It scratches REALLY easily and because it’s matte you can’t really wax or buff out micro scratches or swirls without murdering the finish…

Haha that headlight is like a crime scene.

Those are all fair comments on the coober. If you get a PCV running on the bike would love to know the results. And if you get ambitious, you could do a dyno comparison between the coober and PCV. Would LOVE to see that.

Im happy with the coober for now (also have a decat pipe, drilled airbox and k&n) but would love to get even more out of the…[Read more]
