After wearing out the tyre on saturday in northern France, I changed it yesterday. Cleaned the wheel and inside of the swingarm since I had easy access. This was the old one after 7845km: 🤐

After a few trips to the Eifel and the Ardennes the last couple of years, I tried something different today: Northern France Weather was lovely The roads are nice, (not as good as the roads in the Eifel) but a bit narrow, and there was lots of dried mud and gravel. Still a great day out 😁

Changed the temperature sensor for the fan today. Then proceeded with the waterpump rebuild: Out with the old: In with the new: Cover back on with a fresh gasket: Filled it with fresh coolant and let the bike run for about 15 minutes. Fan switched on a couple of times and I couldn't find...

It's mounted, haven't filled and bled it yet. But I did wash the bike tonight. I cut the connector of the old clutch switch and soldered it to the pressure switch that came with the master cylinder. I might change the reservoir mount bracket in the future. It looks a bit cheap and huge...

This got delivered tonight: 🥳 Plan is to get in mounted and bled tomorrow night. 🤞🏻 Also got an email saying the waterpump rebuild kit, temp sensor and coolant are on their way, so that should be here before the weekend 👌🏻

No, but I've only ever had issues with Magura stuff, so I absolutely don't want another Magura product.

Well, not a great start to the season here. Last ride saw very high temperatures on the dash, temp guage blinking and the fan not switching on. Coolant was low. Fan works when directly fed by 12V, tested the temp switch in a pan of boiling water and it did not open, so I ordered a new one...

If it's not already fitted, a 15 tooth front sprocket makes it a bit more lively. And you could remove the airbox lid for a bit more intake noise and some midrange power.

Rekluse can supply rebuild kits for the slave. When you take of the slave, clean it, leave for a while, and check if there's fresh oil on it somewhere. You could apply light pressure on the lever to actuate it a little, and see if any oil comes out.

It does sound like it is letting air in somewhere. If it's leaking at the slave, it might be wise to check that first. Get a new gasket and pull of the slave, check if that is leaking, or if it is indeed engine oil. If the slave isn't leaking, the only suspect left is the master. If the slave...

22°C this afternoon, first ride of the year in summer gloves and without the thermal liner in my jacket 😎

I'd try bleeding it first, see if the issue comes back quickly. If the issue returns, your master cylinder may need a rebuild.

I would start with trying different pads.

Lovely day today:

The Vitpilen has always been the most beautiful Svartpilen 😅
