    Coolant Leak

    My bad, I thought this edge of the OEM pistons was more radiused.

    Coolant Leak

    If I guess, slight overheating and running rich due to compression loss. Anyway, I would take a look at the old oil filters for debris. Isn't something missing here?

    Coolant Leak

    I wouldn't worry much about the scratchen on the piston skirt. The damaged oil ring would be more a concern to me.

    Countershaft leaking and loose nut

    You may have solved the issue with the repair kit, but keep in mind that also the sprocket needs to sit tight on the shaft. If there is some minimal play it will rattle loose after a while. Some aftermarket sprockets have to much play and an old oem sprocket that was loose before maybe too. In...

    Good luck with the fix. Please keep us updated if you find any reason for the blown head gasket.

    42t Sprocket Weights for Vitpilen 701, Svartpilen 701, and Duke 690

    The little shorter wheelbase of a 112 chain results in more clearance between wheel and tail tidy if fitted.

    New Bike, now all I need is a Plaid Shirt.

    I can confirm that. This is how it looks with 15/40/112.

    Coolant Leak

    Most important when bleeding a closed cooling system is to have the radiator cap open and run the engine at idle. You will see that some bubbles will come up. At a certain point, (four bars in my case) the thermostat will open and an huge amount of air will escape. The coolant level in the...

    Coolant Leak

    Today I changed the coolant on my 701 Svart. Surprising how long the engine needed to idle until the thermostat fully opened and released all the air. The lower boiling point of water and an air bubble left in the system could have blown the hose on your bike. Better a blown hose than an blown...

    Re-flashing vs Power commander??

    I will try to give my opinion. If you’re done with all other modifications like exhaust/airbox and you have someone experienced with a matching map I would absolutely prefer the ecu flash. If you’re planning further mods, you’re skilled and have access to a rolling road/dyno the Power Commander...

    Hi, I have the Uglybros tail bag (cheap Chinese copy of the Kriega) on my Svart. I struggled a while with it to find a secure and comfortable fit for weekend trips. Then I modified the rear strap with two push buttons and now I’m quiet happy with it. If you’re interested I can take some...

    Magura clutch is just weird.

    As long as the MC bore is in perfect condition and you didn’t use the mineral oil type piston kit, there shouldn’t be a problem at all;)

    Magura clutch is just weird.

    I’ve been told to avoid Motorex brake fluids. According to the very experienced guy from the trade every other known brand is to prefer. Personally I only recognized that the Motorex DOT 5.1 turns brownish more quickly compared to others. Max I don’t know what fluid you use, but could be worth...
