Hi all, As there is a oil thread, thought I'd share a concern, so had my first service end of January at my Husqvarna dealer, top one in the country for Husky sales, both dirt and road, anyways I had previously asked the dealer owner/workshop boss which oil they put into the 701 at first...

Sweet, nice bracket too, and yes I agree, mounting somewhere else is desirable, not keen on clamping to the frame and marking it myself...

Max, what are you needing those measurements for.? I have seen the bit on the end of the hose mounted on the frame tube on some 401s, not sure I seen any 701s with a Nitron fitted online...

Exactly, my thoughts also, one reason I asked nampus if he had tried out his latest suspension work, very interested to see how you find the change with the addition of the Nitron shock also... So I checked out sources and pricing for Nitron on my side of the world, a Australian...

SAD for you, and others living in colder climates that control there riding... I saw a article on the tv new a couple days ago showing the snow in New York area, and that sure looked rather COLD... Here I'm moaning about the hot days and all, though I have had two big ride days in the last...

nampus, Have you had a ride with your rebuilt rear shock, and fork oil change yet.?

As mentioned before, I have been looking at the 690 Duke R, Looking at its rear shock, which is of a much higher spec than our Vit one it would seem, shame that KTM/Husqvarna gave us a low spec shock, and the forks also could do with some improvement, I was also looking at the suspension on the...

Thank you, I will ask my dealer.

MoeZambeek, I share some of your thoughts and pain, you missed out, The crap harsh ride from the quality rear shock, and wrongly set up forks. The Vit is sooo unique I have never seen another. I am interested in the SC exhaust with DB killer, any info on that yet.? The Titanium one...

nampus, NO, I don't yet have a workshop manual, wondering where to get one from, meantime that offer would be very helpful, thank you.

Thank you nampus for the process, makes sense when one thinks about it, but easily overlooked, and much harder later :)

My Ulti Pro stand I brought from UK way back in the early 2000s...

Thanks, Guess at some point I shall give it a go, I do have a stand that lifts on the swing arm pivot shaft with pins that go into each side, tried it out on this bike the other week and it works well, so then supported in the centre, and not much weight on the forks to lift, so could do that...

Just looking a Nampus's pic above and thinking, to remove the fork legs, one would need to lift the front end of the bike quite high, to let the leg come out of the triple clamps straight, that in itself could be quite a challenge without a fancy high lift stand like nampus is using, any other...

I'm assuming from nampus's post above that to change fork oil one needs to remove the fork, and open up the cap, then suspend upside down to drain, followed by refilling and assembling, Is that the only way to do it.? What happened to drain screws, nampus I'm liking your stands and setup there...

Ok good to know, thanks Max.

Ok good to know, do you order direct from them in UK, or go through a local agent.? Dare I ask how much.?

Way cool Max, Look forward to hearing how you get on with it... Is it built to order.? How long.? Yesterday I went looked at a 2017 KTM Duke 690 R, low kms, and had Ideas of getting bits off it, rear shock, mono block calliper, ect ect, however not decided yet if I will do or not...

Thanks Max, same weight then... I will report back after talking to my dealer in the next week or so, see what he has to say :)

Hi all, I was looking up Nitron shocks on google and somehow ended up here, not seen this thread before, so good find and Info. Max have you done anymore on the rear shock.? Looking on Nitron Australia web pages, they list a R3 for the Vitpilen, at a bear $1500 Aus dollars, so not a cheep...
