Initially I was going to sell the Vit for a supercharger for my old MKI MX-5 but I went a different direction entirely. It's like two motorcycles with a little house in the middle.

Nope, I'm just on 4 wheels now

Yeah, they lost about 200 bikes, it looks like most stayed in the dealership and didnt try and float away though.

Begrudgingly, I de-biked. I babied my Vitpilen and sold it to a dealer for the price I ultimately wanted. They sold it, but before the new owner could collect, their shop flooded during the remains of Hurricane Ida. The bike actually went through the window and was found in the street after the...

SOLD

My car can detect if I am running 87 or 91 (or better). It adjusts timing accordingly. If I put in 93, or 100, it runs the same timing. Running a high octane than what the engine was designed for does nothing. These bikes were designed for 91 AKI octane. It can't adjust tor higher octane

Regardless on if the additives actually adjust the octane rating significantly, higher octane does nothing for performance unless the engine is tuned for it.

I use an old Garmin Virb from my autocross days, clipped below the handlebar. It kind of blends in.

I loaded a video of a ride onto my computer and I can hear the noise but in the clips it just sounds like normal brake pad noise.

I've used stuff like that before on cars, but the pad making noise in the caliper was a different noise. I'll see if my camera captured the noise and post it here.

Cool, thanks. I've never heard a noise like this from brakes before, but as long as they arent going to fail on me that's fine.

Hmmm, they are saying these fit 2020+ now? The reviewer says he removed the insert to fit them? I thought these were not removable based on other users' posts.

I don't know how long this has been going on but I just noticed it. I thought it was the buzz from power lines that you will hear on a hot day or the local Brood X cicadas but I noticed it today at an area that I know has no background noise, it was coming from my front brakes. I expect squeaks...

You need a threaded style bar end mirror for the 2020+ models. The mirrors for 2018-2019 do not fit. Also, I wouldn't hit the redline to often during break in.
