    Gearing Up (or down) 401

    Thanks for the list! 've been thinking about changing to 14t front. I don't own a torque wrench yet, so I rather wait until I get one for this kind of work, don't want to mess it up... 😅

    LA Night Rider

    It's not that big of a deal for me because I keep track of all my maintenance with an excel spreadsheet. But it's kinda anoying to have that message pop up every time on the dash

    Engine start issue

    Everything seems fine under the seat. It's very weird the bike doesn't start when the handlebar is pointing to the right or straight but it does when pointing to the left...

    Engine start issue

    So for the past 2 weeks I noticed my bike doesn't start sometimes. I turn the key and the electronics work perfectly but as soon as I push the engine start button nothing happens. This happens mostly when the handlebar is pointing straight and as soon as I point it slightly to the left I push...

    Ride Pictures!

    Today was a very fun day. I went for a ride this morning with two friends through the basque country and to our surprise there was some snow in Aranzazu. We even did some off road... And here's the aftermath Had a blast today! But it was too cold to ride with summer gloves 😅😅

    Bar end mirror question

    I decided to put them over the bars. This way I don't need to take my eyes off the road so much. In my opinion they look better the other way, but sometimes you have to find a balance between looking cool and being safe :ROFLMAO:😅 Here's a closeup shot of the counterweights. These are the...

    Bar end mirror question

    A few days ago I made the decision to buy a new set of mirrors. I changed my mind a bit and went for these: https://www.highsider-germany.de/es/producto/301-455-espejo-de-extremo-de-barra-stealth-x6-543414/ I think they look great! The build quality and the finish is really good. Although...

    Oh yes! I knew I've seen this somewhere. Thank you! What about the weight of the tyres? An aproximation would do

    Svartpilen Weight Reduction Project

    I've been thinking about weight reduction, and about the impact each part has in the performance of the bike (Mostly in acceleration). I'm making a basic excel spreadsheet to calculate this impact, but I would need the weight of the components of the bike. Mostly the spinning bits (Wheel...

    Bar end mirror question

    Hi guys! I recently ordered some very cheap bar end mirrors just to see how they would look like on my vit and I'm completly in love! They make the bike look a lot better in my opinion. Here's a before and after: The problem with these is that the visibility is horrible. I didn't expect...

    Fork oil

    Finally I decided to keep the stock oil for now. I will keep riding like this until I decide what to do. This is also because I don't have the tools/space to do this myself right now. But thanks for the feedback guys!

    Fork oil

    Alright! I think I'll order it, you're a good salesman god dammit haha. And yes, 30 bucks is substantial for a student like me 🤣

    Fork oil

    I totally agree with you on the replacing the oil vs replacing the springs. But I can't afford a new set of springs right now. Since I'm probably going to be changing it anyway, I thought thicker oil could make a difference. Also, I thought thicker oil would change the way the dive feels rather...

    Fork oil

    This tuesday I will take my bike to the shop to be serviced. It´s getting close to 7500km, it's more than 2 years old and it hasn't been used in almost a year... So I think I will change all the fluids. I've had the chance to ride it for a week now and I feel like the front suspension compreses...
