Instrument cluster

[Guy Pike]

Will the 2021 Vit run with the instrument cluster totally removed? The LCD display really is a pain and full of info I don't care about. I'm pretty sure that an after market tach which is quite readable can be installed and the ABS have been done a way with already.

Themis tiger country that your talking about and i doubt the ECU would appreciate it.
More homework required.

Was that a drunk reply?

I'll let you know in a bit, I would like to remove that eyesore and replace it with a motogadget gauge. Also, I would like to remove the ABS as well - you just pulled it out and ran new brake lines?

Not drunk...just cautious.
Not knowing the implications with any certainty i prefer to test the waters before diving in head first. This is what Guy Pike is correctly doing and since no one has chimed in with specific knowledge it looks like it's uncharted territory....tiger country.

'themis tiger country' threw me...

I can 100% confirm the bike runs fine and everything operates as normal without the instrument cluster. The bike also looks a LOT better and really enhances the 'riding over the front wheel' sensation without that big blob there.

Handy to know that now it's in the realm of reality......nice pic BTW.

I was gonna ask if the turn signals still work but I looked again and see you don't have turn signals.

 

[toast449]

Everything works, I went for a long ride and tested everything. I do have signals, look closer. motogadget bar end signals up front and pins in the back.

 

[Guy Pike]

Excellent! And yes we just ran independent stainless brake lines.

Are you using a motogadget speedo? Or just doing without?

 

[toast449]

I'm still stock, just removed it as a test so that we have an answer to this question. Still undecided if I'm keeping this, might move to an 801 Vitpilen if they offer wire wheels as an accessory.

Did you do the magura clutch conversion? Could you give a legit review on it compared to running a cable here or in a separate thread I been wanting to know of its worth getting

 

[toast449]

It is 100% worth it, but you have to be ok with fabricating stuff. The consistency is so much better and it is an even lighter pull. There are details in other threads regarding what I had to do - make your own cable kit to fix the length, different mount for the slave cylinder.
