I just wanted some reassurance I guess. I have already made the decision to service the bike myself after falling out with the dealer that I bought it from. If it does cause issues, it would be on me as here in the UK husky will not honour warranty if you self service. Seems a bit wrong as my...

Has anyone done mods like fuelX lite, airbox or exhaust etc. before 620 mile running in? Will the fuelX lite affect the auto RPM change triggered by reaching 620 mile point? It is too wet for me to get out here and I am thinking of fitting my exhaust, airbox and filter but do not want it to...

I thought right curve as the crook of the knee against the seat and tank and the foot only just hanging on means an upshift in standard gearshift would be more awkward. Either way it makes corner exit up-changes easier. I’ve not ever needed to use it as the only race bikes I rode had standard...

Up for 1st down for 2nd, 3rd, etc. Racers use it so they can change up a gear whilst leant over in a right hander.

He does like his rev limiter! Way to many risks for my liking, the amount of time his wheels, whole bike or head are over the white line is scary. Just one truck doing the same in the other direction and bye bye biker. Not the way I would ride but does show a fast rider on a slow bike can easily...

Normal riding is rural UK roads. Where I live the roads are in poor shape for the most part. There are some potholes, poorly repaired potholes, raised or depressed drain covers and a lot of sections that have just been tar and chipped so many times the roads are crowned really badly. I have no...

An update on the forks, the new linear springs felt better but I was not getting anywhere near to the travel I wanted. I would like to use a lot of the 142mm of available travel with maybe 20-25mm spare before bottoming out in normal riding. I had 60mm (this is NOT including the 30mm at the...

Finally managed to get some time in the garage today. I bought a spare lid from Huskyparts (£28) filter foam is from eBay (£7) I already had the alloy plate and mesh. I have made a modded airbox cover. I know you can buy very good (and some not so good) ones already but I think they let way too...

Oh yes, I cannot wait for the warmer weather.

Wow over 1kg for a tube, I did not know that. Might have a re-think on the conversion.

I will not be fitting it for at least a couple of months. There is a good video on youtube. Sorry I am old and do not know how to put links in. Just search ‘Arrow pro race on Vitpilen’ vid is by Voshkof? Basically that vid is what made me decide to go with the Arrow, with the Db killer out it is...

I have been looking at going tubeless just recently. The only advantage would be being able to fix in the wild with a tubeless repair kit. Obviously you can with the right tools on board remove the wheel, tyre, tube and repair it the replace it all roadside, but I am using my Svart for fun. I...

Sorry forgot to add. Rider sag is roughly 26%.

No travel will stay the same. The length of travel is determined by the length of the damper rod. I measured my travel by removing the spring and re-assembling the fork and measuring between max and minimum stroke. This is 142mm, so the damper rod in our bikes is 142mm, the KTM Adv has a damper...

I have also received my fuelx lite. and more importantly Arrow in Italy finished making my slip on. I went for brushed stainless over the black as if the black coating gets scratched I think they look rough. I will be fitting this when I’ve finished running my bike in, hopefully very...

Slight update, I felt the forks were struggling with my 95kg. Especially under heavy braking where the front would dive drastically. So, after lots of research ( including numerous emails to WP UK, which ended in an answer of ‘we have nothing for you’ ) I finally found some springs that fit...

Here in the UK eBay sell these. I have not checked the thread size on the bike but once you know that finding adjusting screws shouldn’t be too difficult.

I believe the entry level WP apex ( without compression and rebound adjusters ) had no red plastic rings ( like the duke 390 ones ) but the fully adjustable Apex ( like on the newest duke 390 ) does have them. I would not worry if you have removed them already. Mine are now in the bin, along...

They are to protect the upper tubes from the sliding lower leg covers, like the 701 supermoto

Really neat work there. So cool.
