    Coolant Leak

    When I bought my bike the reservoir was filled to the max, on the first ride, the bike leaked coolant from the top of the reservoir. The level dropped to about halfway up the reservoir. Then it stopped leaking. At the first service, they topped it up to max. It spat it out on the way home...

    Installed a tail tidy today: Blanking plates for the pillion pegs and a radiator guard should be on their way as well.

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Yes, so far I'm not very impressed with magura hardware. Clutch slave on the 990 is a known weak spot, and it's the same on the 690/701, and now the masters as well. I'll order a new rebuild kit, so I can replace it immediately if it fails again. And if it fails again I'll probably start...

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    I used the original bits from Husqvarna: 59413008000 But I later found you can find the same kit for about half the price if you just google magura hc1 rebuild kit 😅 You need the 12mm set.

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    O I almost forgot. About a week ago I noticed it was getting harder to find neutral (which usually means the clutch needs bleeding). So I wanted to change the clutch fluid and bleed it. Emptied the reservoir with a vacuum tool, and refilled with fresh fluid. Put the vacuum tool on the slave...

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    I'll check them sometime in the future 😅 To busy enjoying the lovely weather here and riding. And it's almost time for the 30k km service on the Vit! It's at 29300km now. Already have all the bits needed, incl a new chain and sprocket kit (15-41 it's on 16:40 at the moment) and a fuel filter.

    Well, the Yamaha Tracer 700 I had was not a great succes. I just didn't really like it. Throttle was snatchy, suspension was still a bit sh*t despite having a Hyperpro Shock and Hyperpro springs and oil in the forks. Seat gave me grief on rides longer than an hour. Comfort seat made no...

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Well, it did come back. Went for a ride, and after about 10km I got another TC failure message and check engine light. Combined with the bike going into limp mode. Felt like it had about 10hp left. Felt like a moped. Turning it off and on again did nothing. So I limped home in slow-motion. 😅...

    New Svartpilen 401 2023 gas readout question

    On the 990 SuperDuke it took about 5 minutes before the fuel light reset after filling up. So 2 minutes doesn't seem that bad 😅

    Dutch Vitpilen 701

    Last Sunday my dash lit up with a TC Failure message and the check engine light came on. Wasn't that bothered because my TC is always switched off, but after the fault my quickshifter stopped working. Switching the bike off and on resulted in the quickshifter working again, but the check...

    Vitpilen 701 Replacement Battery

    I've got a shido lithium unit. No need for a charger, bike starts fine after not being looked at for 4 months. Had a shorai in my previous bike for years, never needed charging.

    Tank bag

    I never had issues with the kriega straps under the pillion seat. I use the straps with clips on both ends, maybe that makes a difference 🤷🏽‍♂️ I just take of the pillion seat, put the two straps where I want them over the subframe, and slide the pillion seat back into place.

    Fuel Fill 701

    That's a difficult one 🤔 That shouldn't be a problem.

    The Vit 701 suspension thread

    Ik zal na de winterslaap een meetlint opzoeken, weet zo uit m'n hoofd niet wat het is. Nu weer over op Engels, dat is voor de rest van de leden wel prettiger.

    Tire Installation for Internet Purchased Tires (!)

    That rabaconda has been on my wishlist since I first saw a video of it. But my current device is still (and will be for some time) functioning perfectly. It only requires a little bit more input from the operator 😅

    Good to see you and the Vit back and enjoying yourself! What tyres have you gone for?

    Can anyone tell me if the Vitpilen 701 uses the same size Triple-Tree as the Vitpilen 401?

    The 401 uses a M6 bolt to secure the handlebar tube into the triple. The 701 uses a M8. (According to the parts list)
