I thought I would document my ownership and journey with my Vitpilen 701. A little about me - I raced motocross at an amateur level in my teens until I was adult and my dad was no longer prepared to pay for it. It's a great sport and I do the odd ride every now and then with one of my brothers...

I had a Vit 401 for about a year or so. Now have a Vit 701. Probably unsurprisingly the bike feels more premium in every way. The power is plenty for road use. The bike feels much more comfortable I think.

Pretty sure they are the same up until the blue and white model came out which has different cams and is euro 5. The first gen (silver) models are euro 4 and I think are all the same.

It looks like the picture is of the Vitpilen version that is yet to be released. I would imagine they will be a straight swap. Once it’s released then you’ll be able to buy them as spare parts and shouldn’t cost a lot.

I never had mine before its first service (around 600 miles I think it’s due). Maybe it gets unlocked then? It’s that’s not the case, I found mine worked a lot better after removing and refitting the gear shift lever. It might be worth trying.

I may have remembered differently. I just had to look for it in my emails, it was in fact eBay and the manufacture is called Racetorx. EBay item number 266253391681

I think it's just a product of the bikes running very lean. I presume you're pulling the clutch to downshift and this is happening? If you just shift down using the autoblipper (no clutch) this won't happen. Out of interest have you made any modifications to the bike?

Glad to hear you find them an improvement. I did exactly the same thing - felt slightly ripped off but no so after fitting.

I fitted a set. Much better and after the first ride with them fitted, completely unnoticeable. The ones I got were from a company called Ducati spacers. If you’re in the south of England I have some spares.

Hello all, There's a pretty hefty thread on here already about suspension with people making (IMO) some quite wild modifications to the suspension... Talks of different shocks from different bikes that are wrong length, wrong valving, wrong spring rate... My question is simply how do you read...

Having owned both the 401 and 701 I can say the 701, which I still now own, is more comfortable ergonomicly. I’m 6ft so was a bit cramped on the 401. The seat however is more comfortable on the 401 I found.
