    Adjust angle of brake lever?

    I have bar risers and think they may have come with a new piece from Brembo that replaces the rear part of the clamp though...can’t quite remember. Looking at other photos that may well be the case. Looks like the one higher up the thread has an extension rightwards that locks onto that chuck on...

    Adjust angle of brake lever?

    Surely you could just move the brake mount inwards by enough to clear the small interlock block that sticks out of the throttle housing? Maybe 5mm max...?

    Ah, the MB-5. Very desirable in my youth :) How did you like the Desert Sled?

    How do YOU pronounce Husqvarna?

    It’s been Husky here in the UK for as long as I’ve known they’ve made bikes, pretty much - in my case starting with the air cooled crossers in the 80s. If I tell someone I have a Husqvarna unless they’re really up on their bikes they will mostly think I’ve bought some garden equipment...

    Clutch not disengaging

    Welcome to KTM world, where a known fault like this can continue in production bikes for years :) I’d say get it fixed as soon as you can because it will fail soon and the bike won’t be rideable. How much clutch fluid do you have in the remote reservoir?

    TANK SLAPPER!!!

    Oh the irony of ‘improving’ the suspension and causing potentially deadly instability :) Glad you’ve got it sorted!

    New Vit project in PNW.

    I don’t think they really have any purpose other than aesthetic to be honest. I only bought them because i thought they made the tank look better :)

    New Vit project in PNW.

    I was surprised as well - I thought they were plastic too!

    How do you like the super cub? I really fancy one for some reason!

    The Vit 701 suspension thread

    I’ll be honest and admit I never bother fiddling any more. As mentioned above, in many cases, on the road, it makes a negligible difference for most bikes. I will usually check the settings are per factory and leave it as is if so. Note under the seat on the Vit are some suggested settings...

    I think I hate my bike :)

    Yes I think we can agree it seems like weird cost cutting given the fairly small price difference.

    I think I hate my bike :)

    Living in a rainy country I’ll take any safety feature :) one day it might be useful and as it’s a case of flicking a switch in the software it just seems tight not to include it by default. I’ve only had a QS on the Vit and it’s fine but every bike I’ve ever ridden you could bang it up...

    I think I hate my bike :)

    I agree Aprilia are making a mistake with the electronics on the Tuono versus the RS...I don’t care about the quick shifter but the cornering ABS seems like it should be included. But it’s still tempting - a dash that doesn’t look like a yoghurt pot, more comfort, more weather protection...

    I think I hate my bike :)

    Tuono 660 is tempting me at the moment.

    Your garage

    I had a 1200 Griso for a few years and agree it was a bit of a lump - but all the big blocks are, really. Great engine the 1200 but the 2 valve / 1100s have more of the Guzzi character...I’d also say the Griso suspension as standard is setup really hard and it wasn’t a great bike on the roads I...
