I’ve removed the grip and replaced it with heated grips using the existing throttle tube, as mentioned, just remove the ridges from the tube.

Im glad that you found the same with the ABS, it gets very worrying when you get to a corner on the brakes and the ABS cuts in. NO BRAKES

Update. I managed to get the EPDM seal onto the plunger, the NBR seal is currently in a contain with some DOT 5.1 brake fluid to see if it swells. I had my first ride with the EPDM seal fitted and all is well, no signs of any kind of leak, the leaver is returning fully. So all good 👍

Im seeing how it goes, the standard seals are crap. Nothing to loose as it is the clutch and not the brakes The EPDM seal is a bit stiff and hard to get onto the plunger. Hot water would help ! As I mentioned, I’m going to see how it goes, any problems with the seal and I will let everyone...

I’ve had to dreaded clutch master cylinder failure again, the first time it happened, I stripped, cleaned the cylinder and seals. Reassembled it and it all worked. It finally failed again. On dismantling the piston and seals, I noticed that the seal seems to have swelled, and this is what has...

I replaced mine with the Motogadgets Speedo sometime ago. When opening up the original Speedo assembly, it was apparent that moisture was the cause of the faults on the circuit board. No problem with any faults now.

It is caused by moisture in the instrument cluster cause shorts across the circuits.

Now that I have seen the bike, I maybe tempted to get one next year.

Think I was very luck in the uk to get my new vit for £7k , this was when they had stopped making them and were wanting to offload the remaining stock.

Im up near Huddersfield , West Yorkshire. I’m the same, not seen another out in the wild !

Where in the uk are you ?

We will all appreciate that.

Is there a vitpilen 701 manual on mediafire ?

The fault you describe sounds more like the dreaded dash issue and not actually a fault with anything else on the bike. I found that the dash dose this with the slightest amount of moisture in the dash causing internal tracking and thus goest faults ! maybe BS tho.

Torque figures are given as 62.72nm @ 8000rpm for the Ducati ours is 71nm @ 6750rpm

You also have to remember that you only need the tiniest of holes or crackers in the gasket for the gasses to pass with the high pressures in the cylinder.

Had the head gasket go on my wr250x, couldn’t see any visible signs where it was leaking. Cleaned the head in a flat surface with some fine wet & dry, double checked that there wasn’t any cracks in the cylinder to water jacket, checked the valves while the head was off and all back together...

was hoping it wasn’t going to be the head gasket

I start buy filling the radiator and ensuring it’s done the correct way to ensure that all the air is out of the system, make sure the reservoir is filled between the minimum and maximum levels. take for another run and see if the same happens. Another one that can sometimes be seen, is with the...

That hose has swelled up a lot, dose it go back down when the bike is cool and is the radiator full when it has cooled down ? looks like it is under high pressure, if the head gasket isn’t passing, the radiator cap may not be releasing the pressure when the engine is hot.
