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...

Already did a few rides on the Husky earlier this year. Today was the first ride on the Triumph this year:

It's a new motor for Husqvarna, they don't have a 790 in their line up yet.

Not just early model years. All model years 790 have issues with coolant and oil leaks. And there are quite a few with camshaft wear issues as well 🤐

Wishfull thinking, this is the prototype, not the production bike

Have you asked Veridian? They might know....

Considering the (lack of) quality of the stock magura master and slave (both on the 701 and my previous 990) I would never buy a Magura master cylinder as an upgrade. I would go for a Brembo, accossato, galespeed, or Hel before I would even look at a different Magura.

I was always happy with the braking performance of the Vitpilen, but since owning the Street Triple with its formidable anchors, the Husky front brake felt a little lacking. This could off course be easily solved with a simple change of pads, but where's the fun in that? 😁 A few weeks ago I...

It's mostly taxes. Denmark is even worse. But because the Vitpilens weren't very popular, (a premium big single is quite niche) I bought mine new in 2019 for €9250 with the Akra included. 😁

Why is everybody so surprised about the pricing? The Vit/Svart 701's were dressed up Duke 690's and more expensive. The new 801/901 will be a dressed up Duke 790/890 so will be more expensive than that. It's not there to compete with something budget like a MT07. My guess is it'll be closer to...

Looks like it's coming the 5th of March: If you look closely you can see the typical vit/svart tank shape edited to add: After posting I see it's rather obvious in the thumbnail 😅

Could you post some pics and maybe a a partnumber or link to the filters you used?

Never looked into it, but I can imagine it might get quite dirty with oil mist coming through the filter.
