I haven’t been in this swanky thread in a while.

@johnny where did you find all those sprocket weights you listed earlier? When looking for sprox for my 701 I could never find listed weights, and I actually talked to the sprocket center guys and ask them about weights and they were all “geez, I dunno man…”

That is just righteous, man.

The svartpilen sticker is hilarious. What is that R badge?

I have 3 bikes right now and have had many before that. The vitpilen is really no less reliable than any of them. There are some issues (clutch slave failing I would guess is the most common) but it’s a first year model. If you like the bike I really wouldn’t worry about it too much unless you are far from a dealer to do warranty work.

Awesome mate. Haha that exhaust. You went back to stock wheels?

And I looked up those crash bars. 8lbs!

@morpal

In that picture, the rear turn indicators are… where?

VP-1, you’ve seen coober is selling drilled/cut airbox lids now? Are those your designs?

Any word back from Brani on performance testing?

Nice.

If there’s no leak under bike, your clutch fluid is indeed going into engine. There is an oil change in your future. Make your dealer do it with the warranty repair.

I put an oberon unit on when my oem slave cylinder failed (didn’t even do the warranty). It’s pricey but definitely better.

Looks like foam to me but I didn’t see any materials on that page. Foam is superior to the oem paper but is not better than the oiled cotton and surface area of your dna in my opinion.

@ papibuski

Yes they are removable.

@ Nph

I have the huskie bar ends. I installed them facing down for a while as I hated how they looked up, but was unhappy with how much head tilt I had to do while splitting (I do a lot of splitting). I didn’t find visibility to be much of an issue. I put them back to facing up but with the stems facing f…[Read more]

Nice work so far. You need to lose the cat. (And weigh it please, I did not when I removed mine 😊).

When I did first service on mine the dealer noted that the engine was slurping oil and suggested changing it every 2k miles, as opposed to what the manual says (6k miles).

So it’s prob not specific to your bike.

If somebody installs that stop spring, plz report back on how it helps.

I don’t have slippage any issues in 5/6 but do feel it sometimes going to neutral (usually 2 > N).

I have a small lithium battery installed. TC is right, the wiring won’t reach that far.

Wow you keep a softbox set up in your living room?

I got one for the vit 701, which prob has same or similar components. Looks nicer, I do not believe it has gel inserts or anything. Feels about the same comfort wise. Is a little stickier when riding, which can be both a good and bad thing.

I like it but wouldn’t say it’s like massively better or anything.

What company are you referring to and what did they say?
