    Red hot exhausts at idle?

    Rottweiler fuel dongle that thing! That engine heat and excessive lean condition is good for nothing except the central bankers of the world.

    The Vit 701 suspension thread

    I am totally confused. What do you mean that heavier fork oil changes effective ride height? And how is that mutually exclusive from also effecting preload? I just left a phone message with Race Tech Suspension to see if they have developed any internals for the WP suspension components, Apex...

    FS: 2018 Vitpilen 701

    I have been riding for over 44 years including ownership of over 19 bikes and I can truly say that the Vit & Svartpillen 701’s simply encompass everything that enjoying motorcycle riding is. Going full circle from multi cylinder machines back to a single with this much technology is something to...

    Dude, sorry to hear that but glad that you are ok. Unfortunately, of course, the bike won’t self heal like your ribs will and the bike damage is not bad at all... Especially if you end keeping her as a result. And whatever you do, Do Not Sneeze! GWS!

    Snorkel delete

    I am referring to any pod filter modification between the airbox and the injectors or that of replacing the airbox.

    Snorkel delete

    I am not understanding exactly what you meant when you said “2 Snorkels”, but removing anything south of the stock air box lid is going to require time & money for tuning work to get it to run correctly. Remember that a large amount of research and development went into getting that engine to...

    Vented or not?

    Had a service technician ID it as fuel/evaporate emission or something of the sort over the phone. I found it doing my first oil change and put everything back together, so I was not wanting to take everything further apart again. I now have confidence that it should be vented & just zip-tyed...

    Vented or not?

    Should this little tube below the right fuel tank be vented or not? On my bike the “angle piece” hose fitting was attached/melted to the exhaust manifold and sealed shut. When I dislodged it from the manifold and removed the “angle piece” plug from the tube, I heard some venting taking place.

    Weight loss: How much and how?

    Are you OK with the extra weight & rotational weight of the stainless spoked wheels over the cast wheels?

    Tuning

    that is correct sir. I did a throttle reset without the OBD2 scan tool. result is the ride by wire feels more “connected” & the throttle “free-play” is gone.

    Track Vits?

    Yes the stock pegs totally touch down easily… looking for the same, sketch free, information.

    Noob seeking advice

    Hmm, the ABS, Traction & Wheelie control certainly help while the displacement facilities not wanting to trade up to a larger bike. It seems to me that the biggest obstacle to beginning on a 701 is it’s seat height with newbies not realizing that the 350 lbs is easily manageable & that one...
