How many miles you got on your engine?

Sounds odd, there's like 7mm difference between the two...

Motoism.

We sure we're not listening to a cam chain rattle? That's pretty common on these engines....

I need to get me one of those paint pens.

I had the exact same. Replaced one of the panels, and they wouldn’t pop back into place, at all. Anyhow I tried. Simply put, the tank had swollen. I decided to buy a new tank plus gaskets, which solved the problem (and took care of the tank recall). They’re not expensive btw, 150 bucks for the...

Quite possibly, cold starts. (or rather, asking too much of the engine after a cold start. Pirate Racing mentioned it once).

I was already running that setting yes.

Last weekends' ride. Big boys chasing yours truly.

It is what it is. I'm trying to learn as I go. I just learned a steering damper can really dumb down a bike. I poured a lot of time and investment into my bike to get it as it is now. I can honestly say I never had a bike that felt as pure, honest and direct as my little Pilen. I has this...

Testing time! I now have two dampers. One 30 click adjustable one from WP, and one from my buddy's SDR1290. The latter one is new and absolutely stiction free. The WP adjustable one however, the lower the setting, the worse the stiction gets. Since the one I got from my buddy had the least...

So I used an M6 to M8 rod, locked in place with a counter nut. M6 on the frame side and bolting the tank down. M8 for the steering damper. I'm not 100% confident this is strong enough. I need to test this. I may also need to change -limit- how far the bars go left to right. To be continued....

Not completely finished but close enough to show. I have to locktite everything yet, the clamp on the fork leg needs replaced. Little things. And yes, I bought the only steering damper in the world that's 24mm instead 25mm, so had to use some filler between the clamp and the damper body.

Goed bezig! 💪🏻

Close yes

Im not sure, we will see. Hitting bumps and ruts mid corner makes the bike nervous sometimes. I’d be the first saying this is very much a “because we can” project.
