I didn’t bother with the official repair kit, instead, I got some hydraulic seals that were the correct size. They are still going strong. A tenth of the price of the official kit too .

Hi The light is just a tight push fit. I used a thin tool to get between the front clear lens and the rear cover, slowly going around the edge until it started parting. it isn't glued together.

If you're very clever, you can fit a Motoscope Pro dash. it has been done to the 701 vitpilen !

I check the side stand switch. Tie the side stand up in place so that it cannot bounce around, and then do a run !

I hope that someone knows. Im struggling to find a match for the blue !

I do have a liking for pinning the throttle and riding like I’m on a supermoto. The single track roads don’t help in wanting to play !

How did you manage to get 10K out of that tyre, I’m lucky to get 3k out of a rear tyre. And that is down to the cords too !

The mice have eaten the engine and wheels !

Has anyone found out what the colour code is for the Blue Vitpilen ?

I was there in the 90’s a couple of times with a CBR600, everything was a bit more wild then and fun ! Definitely somewhere that every serious biker should visit at least once, definitely no other place like it.

The good old days when you could ride most of the road flat out on your own bike have gone, flat out on the mountain was fun on mad Sunday !

I hope you guys are watching the boys with the biggest balls at the TT

Has it had the valve check and rocker arms looked at ?

Nice idea, I like.

Easy fix in the end, but these intermittent faults are always the worst one to diagnose.
