I have the FuelX Lite

That's very odd. Sea air perhaps?

I was just looking for that raspy intake noise... Maybe a more open airbox lid will be enough.

Argh my front discs are starting to judder too. This must be a common fault. Does anyone know if it is the actual disks warping or the little spacers around the disc that are getting jammed up?

What top lid did you go for?

I think mine was just the gasket, but I will check and get back to you. Kind of alarming that the test bike had the same oil leak too.

They are useful for strapping luggage onto. But for looks alone I prefer without.

Seems not worth it then 😀 Any improvement at all in noise? Anyone tried fitting a different airbox lid to allow more airflow?

Just looking for a bit of an enhanced intake sound. Anyone fitted the 790 K&N air filter? Are you happy with it?

Those Michelin tyres should comes as standard. Looks so good on the 801!

Cheap Oxford grip heat up much quicker than the OEM ones. The factory ones only have 3 settings, low, medium and high. I haven't been on a long ride yet so will report back when I've lived with them for a bit. Beats having no heated grips though!

Yeah I had a 790 Duke and 690 Duke R at the same time and both had totally different characters. The 690 was so much fun and only 160kg fully fuelled. Loved that bike!

Hi All, Thought we should keep an archive of any issues we have found on our 801s and had fixed under warranty. Could prove useful in future if a common fault arises (such as cam shafts). I had a minor oil leak which I noticed on my summer road trip through France and Spain. Was not a nice...

Your 701 is so good looking! I love that paint scheme with the spoked wheels. I also love that engine - I have owned two 690 Duke R's which have the same cheeky thumper. So much character and fun on the twisties. I miss it! My 690:

I've not heard of that before (seasonal plate). Makes sense because you just tax the bike for the months you can ride... I try to ride all year if possible, but obviously not if below 4℃ or too wet.

looks perfect weather Tom! Surely you will continue riding until winter hits?

It follows the lines of the bike perfectly.

Interested to find out if it fits and how it sounds!

This may help, here are all the part numbers included in my heated grip order:

Same here. Could sync the phone and use the handlebar controls but not the cardo. Waste of time!
