I've replaced my throttle for other reasons, but still have regular can abs failure messages 🤷🏻‍♂️

Swapped the grey subframe for a yellow one:

Not steel, but I am using this on my Vit701...

These are the: SE07BB0258 I just looked for sintered pads that were available within a few days. So have not really looked into different compounds. Did about 150km this morning, they work fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Replaced the rear brake pads:

Scrubbed in the new tyre this morning:

I ride like a granny I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ Depends on the tyre as well. These have done very good wear wise. I got about 6-8k km out of Bridgestone S22's and Michelin Power 5. The asphalt might be more coarse in your area compared to where I am. Tyre pressure plays a role as well. I usually have...

Starter appears to be oiltight after a new o-ring and a 65km test ride. Changed the rear tyre and gave it wash. Did a little over 10k km with that rear. Before wash: After:

It is money, parallel twins are cheaper to build, only one cylinder head, one set of camshafts, one camchain etc. They are usually lighter than a v-twin as well. And with the 285° crank or 270° what most other manufacturers use, they give the same feel as a v-twin. It's just ridiculous that...

Went for a ride this morning, bike felt strange, I thought maybe tyre pressure, the tyre is pretty worn as well, maybe rear shock due a service, stopped to have a look around the bike and was greeted by quite a bit of oil on the rear of the engine, and a thankfully just a little bit on the rear...

It's a one of a kind event! Visited the TT in 2015 and the ManxGP in 2022. Will be going back to the TT someday. The TT+ livepass is the best €25 you can spend. The live coverage is awesome! Husky overlooking Douglas: And some racing at Braddan Bridge:

how many miles has the engine done?

Looks like an awesome trip! I was planning to do a 5 day trip to the Vosges next week (13-17may) But it looks like the weather will not be great, so that will probably be postponed 😔

The throttle tube isn't smooth on these bikes, you need to peel the grips of starting at the switch assembly, or cut them off. You can then smooth the ridges with sandpaper or a file.

Looks like spring is finally here!

Radial calipers come in 3 sizes. 100mm bolt center, 108mm and 85mm. In general 108 mm is used on Japanese bikes, 100mm is used on european bikes, and 85 mm is used on small capacity bikes (and aprilia Shiver 750 I think) But: some modern Japanese superbikes use 100mm spacing. And some R1's...

Replaced the original caliper bolts with titanium today: Have done a few short rides and a bit of commuting so far. The braking is excellent, but it's hard to say if it's due to the new pads, the caliper or both. My guess is the pads made the most difference. So if you are just looking for a...
