What have we learned?

What is something you learned that made your 961 experience better?

Mine was the lambda delete. Among other things but that one I’m grateful for.

Power Commander

Check the starter relay before replacing the battery.

factory support is ridiculous, if not outrageous,

enthusiast support by some is wonderful, even superb by a few, but deff at least one wanker in the bunch

Well, I have learnt that, so far at least, the bike has turned out to be better than it had expected.

Fingers crossed it stays that way !

Loud pipes and run it without an air filter. Sounds tonnes better, thus a more satisfying experience.

Plus get the oil into airbox thing sorted. Had a full recall & service on my 2015 bike last week. Now I have lots more breathers, a labyrinth seal and a catch bottle!

Hi BPJThornton , Have you really removed the air filter element and riding around that way ?

Hi , Can you tell us more about the more breathers ? I understood that most of the hoses and such going to the rocker cover were removed and now crankcase vents direct through the air/oil separator to air box. In a way it seemed more simplified this way. Is there something new now ? Did they replace your oil pump too or just add the one way valves ? thanks

Interesting.
Is your 961 a solo or dual seat model?
Can you state exactly were you installed the PC unit?
Maybe some photos?
