It is, but not very suitable for long rides like this one 😅

Yes I was! I take my girlfriend with me on some rides.

Ride through the mountains until... Oops

The 2021 Vitpilen wheels didn't come with the yellow Husqvarna stickers mine had so I missed them. That's why I went with the supermoto style 😁

The bike has been fitted with brand new rims and front disc. Runs like new!

The wheel wasn't right, it was noticeable while riding. Both in terms of vibrations and when looking at it. My mechanic tried to bring it back but was unable to and advised me either to replace it or to have the repair done by a wheel specialist. Yesterday I decided to buy the used one I...

I finally got the bike back a couple of days ago! It was inexpensive to repair as well. The only thing that's left to do is to repair/change the front rim. The rim is now bent and it's noticeable when you look at it spinning. There are some deep scratches as well. I've been looking for...

I will try to find someone with frame expertise. Let's see how it goes. You are totally right about this, I didn't even think about it. Lesson learned

I hope the frame is not bent, the bus just went over the front wheel and fork, so hopefully the frame is fine. Where should I measure?

Today was the day... They say there are 2 types of bikers: Those that have crashed and those that will. Now I belong to the first type. 2 weeks ago I crashed my Vitpilen after washing it carefully due to a rookie mistake... I had a can of tire shine laying around in my garage and had never...

Awesome ride yesterday Got to ride my friend's 1990 NSR 125 as well :D

I don't remember exactly, but I think you have to take the whole thing off. To access the connector you have to loosen the headlight as well. Once it's off , the celear plastic piece is held by 6 screws. Be carefull with the seal as I mentioned it's quite fragile. Also, the inside of the clear...

Unless it's really bad and you cant't really see I wouln't do it. Mine came with some kind of O-Ring which was dry, so when I took it appart it broke. I managed to close it pretty well again reusing the broken seal, but it will never be as good as new. Here I explain how I did it if you are...

Interesting. I just use soapy water for the helmet and lens cleaner for the visor. They work pretty well

Here you go 😆: This last formula is the one I mentioned on my last reply, you would have to substitute the critical damping from both cases (Sprung and Unsprung) here. Of course this is not useful if you dont have a way of meassuring your spring of tire stiffness. But it's good to know...
