Today I am talking about the two minor problems I have encountered so far with the Norden 901. Nothing serious, fortunately: coolant leakage and a loose headlight.

Thanks for sharing Norden brother! I live in Oregon, USA and have a norden with >2000 trouble free miles. Love it and hope you enjoy yours as much as I

I really hope they get the bike sorted for 2023 and also make more than 18 of them. This bike really just hits the perfect spot for me, I'm too broke to get a BMW 1250 or an Africa Twin, but just not broke enough to get this bike.

Thank for this. I pick up my 2024 version next week so have asked the dealer to double check the hose clamps for me in advance.

I've seen multiple videos on the coolant leak issue and so far, the claim is that the clamp is loose on the upper radiator hose at the engine end. Well, my clamp wasn't loose, but I did tighten it. Still leaking. Going to have to disassemble to get a better look. Bikes been great otherwise. Also, to do an oil change you need to remove the skid plate. I'm not doing that next time. The oil filter will come out with no problem, it's the drain plugs that interfere. I will modify the skid plate with a small notch on the edge to allow the very long drain plug/screen assembly to come out.

3500km here. I had loose nut on front right blinker. No coolant leaks, and rear shock holding up good (i hit jumps and hoops quite often) but I installed heat shield the first day, as I do single trails and tech stuff where I move slow, along with city riding. Had around 6-7 falls by now, only partially broke and welded right handguard. I kinda like them being plastic as they can bend a lot. I had worse experience with metal guards. Plastic around radiator seems intact. Skidplate is a joke as it is already bent and cracked a bit but it serves its purpose for now I guess.

Sent my Norden to warranty repair on Wednesday because of coolant leak. Similar to what you mentioned, leaked on the skid plate. They discovered the leak finally on Friday. A hose was leaking from between it's layers they said. Weird. New coolant hose has been ordered from the factory. Hopefully getting my Norden back next week. Odometer = 1300km.

My KTM 890 had that problem too.

There should be a bush in the hole where the headlight bolt goes that fits neatly in the bigger hole and has a little bit of clearance on the bolt.

Moin Kai. Danke für die Infos. Schönen Urlaub und pannenfreie Fahrt. Berichte mal, wie sich die Norden so geschlagen hat. Grüße von der Küste

I know 2 people who've had this problem of leakage and seen several videos complaining about it.. It seems to be in every Norden 901 and is a factory sluff-off on quality control.

Nice Video! Something totaly else, could you make a video comparison between the Garmin 276cx and the 700i? I really can't make up my mind and I would be interested in your opinion :)

My guess is OEM screw is special with integral spacer so it can't pull out the brass insert? Just a guess but it looks like it to me,,,I would insist on OEM part vis warranty

Missing a screw on a Norden 901 is unacceptable. However, problems happen. Thank you.

Wait until you buy a Yamaha...high pressure fuel line popped off at 80mph pissin' petrol everywhere,then the sump bolts fell out,and that started leaking oil...got off lightly compared to a CP3 engine!(1st run was to the Irish ferry to France from Glasgow,Scotland).

Hey Norden folks, does anyone know where to find black stem protectors for 901? Not just stickers, thanks

minor problems, but totally unacceprable ! so disappointing ! I tested 1 from dealer, which had stalling issues due to electronic part failing, on order by dealer but no delay indicated.

Country of origin is China. KTM/Husky fired their workforce and sent production to China. Its not their fault the people of China are smaller people and can't torque a bolt down as hard as the Euros did when they were built in Belgium/Germany.
