    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Fitted a set of R&G tank grips this morning. I've bought a set of one piece leathers over winter, and found they are a bit slippery on the inside of the thighs. Also ordered a set for the Triumph, but they haven't turned up yet.

    Svartpilen 701 Master Cylinder Upgrade

    Not 100% sure on the Svart, but on the Vit it is just behind the head stock underneath the tank. So you'll probably will need to remove the tank if you want to replace the lines. You can get adapters from Hel to convert from axial to radial mc...

    Svartpilen 701 Master Cylinder Upgrade

    They are known to fail. I've had to rebuild mine, and mine keeps letting a tiny little bit of air into the system over time. So I have to bleed mine every few months.

    Svartpilen 701 Master Cylinder Upgrade

    I've no issues yet with my Brembo brake master cylinder (38.000km) The magura clutch is rubbish. Mine will probably be replaced with a Hel master in the future. Your Svartpilen came from the factory with braided lines, so replacing them isn't necessary.

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    If there is any increased performance from that akra it will be 1 or 2 hp at most, and you need to be pretty special to be able to notice 1 or 2 hp 😅 Haven't ridden the bike since replacing the chain and sprockets. But I'm sure it'll be fine. I've done over 20k km with 16-42 and this will be...

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    I've done about 30 minutes on a Vit with the original exhaust before I bought mine about 6 years ago. Can't remember what it sounded like, but it's probably not a very big difference as long as you leave the db killer installend on the Akra. I never install frame sliders on my bikes, don't...

    Kriega US-30 Drypack

    Have been using those Kriega bags for over 10 years, possibly 15, and two of the three were second hand. And they never let a drop of water in.

    Kriega US-30 Drypack

    I use a Kriega US-20 and two US-10 on my 701, there's very few bikes you can't fit these bags to. I just put 2 loop straps under the pillion seat and hook the bags to those loops.

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    I've only had one Regina chain before, 20 years ago on a 50cc Aprilia, and that was absolute dogsh*t 😂 Needed adjusting about every 5km So I hope this is a lot better 😅

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Not impressed with the original DID VT2 chain this time. The original chain that was on the bike from new lasted 28.000km. The current VT2 has been on the bike for 10.000km and needed adjusting twice in the last 400km. Both times is was very very slack. It has even worn through the black...

    Service costs

    Don't even bother with the service kit, all you need is the two oil filters and a few copper washers. The filters are 75038046100 and 58038005100, the screens can be cleaned, and the o-rings can be reused several times.

    New Ducati Single Cylinder 659cc Engine

    Had about 40 minutes to play with this today: Ducati event at a local dealer. Never ridden a supermoto before, so the seating position and weight transfer felt a bit akward. The engine is lovely though! As expected a bit less bottom end than our 701, but not as much as I was expecting. The...

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Haven't ridden the bike yet. But I'm not expecting any difference. In the past the only thing is noticed with the clutch was that is was a lot easier to put the bike in neutral after bleeding it. When finding neutral gets harder, I now know I need to bleed the clutch. Somehow air does get...

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Took apart the clutch master cylinder this afternoon. The fluid was looking dirty, and when I rebuilt the master last year or the year before it was full of crap, so I thought it can't hurt to open it up and clean it again. It wasn't as dirty as last time, but it wasn't clean either. Replace...

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    The control unit for the cc used 4 wires, 1 ground, and 3 signal wires, one for each button. Pressing any button, would connect the wire of that button to ground. For the Yamaha switchgear, the toggle switch had 3 wires (1 ground, 2 signal), and the flasher trigger had 2 wires(1 ground, 1...
