No problems here blocking the rear wheel with the back brake when torqueing to 100Nm. Just pulled the front sprocket cover again, about 450km since I torqued it to 100Nm, and it's still in place 🥳 I'll keep checking it regularly, but I'm pretty confident it'll be fine from now on.

Indeed, but it also reduces vibrations. When I replaced my dampened front sprocket on my 990 with an undampened one, I noticed a significant increase in vibrations in my left foot peg.

Did about 130km this morning: So, took it off again, cleaned everything, and put it back on, this time I torqued it to 100Nm. Let's see if this holds.

Any more info on this? A link to a webshop or a partnumber perhaps?

Looks like I have the exact same dvd, but with a different manual on it 😅 My dvd: And the content: 80Nm. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I'll definitely torque it to 100Nm if it comes off again. I'll get a new lock plate as well.

My manual says 80Nm (official cd bought from Husqvarna) 😅 it's on 85 now. I greased the splines, always do. I'll torque it to 100Nm if it comes off again. I was surprised to see 80 in the manual, my 990 was 100 as well. An undampened sprocket is usually full of holes, so you can lockwire it...

It's a very common thing on 690's according to the Internet, and the original sprocket was loose as well. I'm pretty sure it's not me or the way I work/tools I use.

Mid range torque wrench, which gets checked at my workplace. So I'm pretty certain that's OK. The loctite is not fresh, but not ancient either.

Did 333km yesterday no leaks 👌🏻 But when I took of the front sprocket cover I was greeted by this: It's now back on again, retorqued, and lockplate hammered flat more than before. I'm going to keep an eye on it. If it keeps coming loose, I'll go for an undampened sprocket and lockwire it to...

Good looking setup 👌🏻

And done: Time for a ride tomorrow 👌🏻

Headstock bearings tonight: Bike lifted up and front end removed: Bottom yoke and top bearing on the bench: And back together again, after cleaning, inspection and regreasing: Oil change tomorrow

Chain and front sprocket are original parts yes.

More progress today: Put the bike in the skylift to remove the linkage: Everything on the bench ready for cleaning/inspection/regreasing: And back together again with fresh grease: And installed on the bike, everything torqued to spec and torque seal applied: New front sprocket, and new...

Just take it apart, clean the bearings and stuff em with fresh grease. It's on page 2 of this topic, post #25:

So time for the 30.000km service: Started by taking the tank of to get access for the valve clearance check: Checked the clearances, 1 inlet and 1 exhaust were out of limits, but luckily I could swap those two shims out, to get both back into spec 🥳 Cleaned and reoiled the air filter (K&N)...

@floyd pepper This might be a good opportunity for a set of Gilles risers

I think the abm will be the easiest and cheapest option if you really want bars. If you just want a little more comfort the Gilles is probably your best bet.

There is, the ABM kit. Or you could just order Svartpilen 701 parts, or buy them second hand. You'll need the top yoke, bar mounts, handlebars, brake and clutch links maybe, and maybe the dashmount as well. Or you could fit the Gilles raised clip ons. Which is a lot easier and looks better as...

If you click the 'select your bike' button on that link, the drop down menu does not list a 701 Vitpilen. That should tell you, it doesn't fit the 701 vitpilen.
