Not impressed with the original DID VT2 chain this time. The original chain that was on the bike from new lasted 28.000km. The current VT2 has been on the bike for 10.000km and needed adjusting twice in the last 400km. Both times is was very very slack. It has even worn through the black...

Don't even bother with the service kit, all you need is the two oil filters and a few copper washers. The filters are 75038046100 and 58038005100, the screens can be cleaned, and the o-rings can be reused several times.

Had about 40 minutes to play with this today: Ducati event at a local dealer. Never ridden a supermoto before, so the seating position and weight transfer felt a bit akward. The engine is lovely though! As expected a bit less bottom end than our 701, but not as much as I was expecting. The...

Haven't ridden the bike yet. But I'm not expecting any difference. In the past the only thing is noticed with the clutch was that is was a lot easier to put the bike in neutral after bleeding it. When finding neutral gets harder, I now know I need to bleed the clutch. Somehow air does get...

Took apart the clutch master cylinder this afternoon. The fluid was looking dirty, and when I rebuilt the master last year or the year before it was full of crap, so I thought it can't hurt to open it up and clean it again. It wasn't as dirty as last time, but it wasn't clean either. Replace...

Have you checked the price for a new unit, they are not extremely expensive. https://www.goedhartmotoren.nl/ktm-cruise-control-kit-duke-r-adventure-76011270100

Cool, what are you going to use the tft buttons for?

The control unit for the cc used 4 wires, 1 ground, and 3 signal wires, one for each button. Pressing any button, would connect the wire of that button to ground. For the Yamaha switchgear, the toggle switch had 3 wires (1 ground, 2 signal), and the flasher trigger had 2 wires(1 ground, 1...

Yes, the flash trigger is now the cc cancel.

Took the Husky for a testride today, everything works as intended, very happy!

Some more work on the Vitpilen done. Ever since I first took one out for a test ride I thought the left hand switch gear looked cheap. With the added cruise control button cluster the left bar was getting pretty full. The reach to the cruise control buttons was longer than I liked, and...

Rebuilt shock now back in the bike

Have you weighed the dual material sprocket and a regular steel sprocket? I had one on my KTM years ago, and the steek sprocket was lighter 🤣 As far as dampened sprockets go, I've only had an undampened front sprocket on my KTM for a very short period. I noticed a lot more vibration in my...

Since the shock is getting some love I thought it was only fair to give the forks some attention as well. The little springs on the outside of the dust caps were starting to corrode a bit. So some supplies were purchased: Took the forks out, opened up the topcap and was then reminded I never...

Rear shock needs a service, bike started wallowing a bit when coming out of corners with the throttle wide open. Wanted to increase rebound damping, but the adjuster has sort of seized. It will only go back and forth one click. So took the shock out this morning: Love the skylift! Cleaned...

Can you tell more about this? Is just software that gives full throttle from a certain percentage of throttle grip opening, or is it a completely different throttle grip, with a shorter stroke?

I've had a shorai in one of my previous bikes. No issues. I have a Shido in my Vitpilen 701 for a couple of years now, and no issues with that either.

Nice of you, I already have a set, but I can definitely recommend these to anyone who doesn't have them yet! No more sloppy throttle 👌🏻

I've sat on one, and I disagree. I thought it was lovely, I would definitely get one over a 401.
