    "Another" Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Yupps IMHO best there is.. developed in the artic circle (in winter time ;-) ) EU made. the cartridges are rather heavy indeed, pretty ideal when using the bar-end mirrors (and so losing the internatbar-end weights if you use the factory bar-end mirrors..) Works with ANY grips, the...

    "Another" Dutch Vitpilen 701

    That button is from the installed coolride handlebar heating system. It is NOT a simple on/of switch , it is a heating intensity selection button (with led light in it) Coolride uses heating elements IN the handlebar, so no seperate grips with external wiring on the grips. This one is with...

    "Another" Dutch Vitpilen 701

    The blue curves are with the lid on… before tweaking the maping and before implementation of the Rapid-easy Both the red curves are after tweaking the mapping and after the implementation of the Rapid-easy with the lid off (by mistake tbh.. i suspect it doesn’t make a big difference though.. i...

    "Another" Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Tbh, that is a way too simple approach. IMHO the whole mapping needs attention, if you can read and understand the readings/curves it is quite clear… and tweaking is only possible if you make dyno runs of that particular bike.. As said, there is NO out of the box solution (imho)

    "Another" Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Master cylinders upgrade

    stock is sinter... because of the longevity aspect... Carbon Ceramic is the one you need for fun use on the road.. IMHO brands for pads are as personal as brands for tyres are, but mostly it is between the ears, what brand is best.. the compound type does matter though...

    Master cylinders upgrade

    yup! the blue ones! softer, so braking better. they do wear a little quicker though also "breaking" them in needs to be done carefull... the first 100 km, NO hard breaking! build it up in stages... (the heat) too much heat to soon and pads will "glaze" (as will every compoud will do...

    Master cylinders upgrade

    You need to buy the proper rebuild kit for use with DOT4 as Magura has 2 different rebuild kits available (also one for mineral oil and therefore different type of seals) Be sure your dealer supplies the RIGHT one… Husqvarna did choose for a short lever, but magura has also a longer lever...

    Master cylinders upgrade

    Really? 14mm adjustable is adjustable in range 13-14mm. So 1 mm too big for the clutch, which is 12mm So it will become even heavyer to operate than the original unit..

    Master cylinders upgrade

    No…. Racing spec pumps and calipers are “only” lighter and do function better in racing conditions i.e. cope bettter with heat. And look good, but for street use not better performance… Racing spec pads is even worse on the street, they don’t get hot enough, so brake less on road use.. Try...

    easy shift problem on my vitpilen 701

    IMHO “out of the box” tuning is rather pointless…. Every bike, even out of the factory is different, let alone if you or a former owner did “some” tweaks… I did some minor hardware tweaks in my VIT 701 and we did put it on the dyno…. And tweaked the map… BUT Ktm/husqvarna, do block the closed...

    Master cylinders upgrade

    @NToxx as said, a number ON a brembo is NOT the size, the number IN the brembo is the size. See mine (2020 model VIT 701). A 15mm piston!

    Master cylinders upgrade

    In the Brembo catalog it looks like a 920B69065 model/type and those are with 4x32mm pistons.. Gues we have to wait till someone does measure them in a vit/svart

    Master cylinders upgrade

    HC3 quality is beyond discussion IMHO, and a complete different range…HC1 is a budget series.. You can not blame a while company on one product in one range… There are also 2 different fluidtypes used in the same hardware, Magura do have a mineral type of seal/piston kit and a DOT4 seal/piston...

    What year is yours? 20 written “on” a brembo is year of manufacture, written “in” a brembo is size 🤓

    Master cylinders upgrade

    Hi, i doubt your data is correct quote: “ From what I found the master cylinder has a 20mm diameter and the calipers are 4 pots 34mm diameter.“ unquote But i may be wrong, please proof so.. As far as know the pump is 15mm and the caliper pistons 30mm or 32mm, i stil have to measure mine if i...
