    Almost finished? Probably not!

    Damn, man... I feel the same way. Last year I wanted to sell my Svartpilen 701, but every time someone asked about the motorcycle, it was as if I was sabotaging the sale to some extent. I want another motorcycle that is a little more comfortable for long trips, but I can't sell this one. So I...

    Dual disk

    Damn... how cool would it be to do this on the Svartpilen 701 too. But I don't think I'd give up the 18" spoked wheel just to be able to do this dual brake disc mod 🤔

    Quick shifter problem...

    You'll get used to it. FactoryPro Shift kit helped a lot with this problem. With their spring an lever, you will get a bit more feedback from the shifter.

    Quick shifter problem...

    The recalibration job helped a little, but it still wasn't perfect. The strange thing is that the more you ride the bike, the better the quickshifter works. At least it was for me.

    Struggling to sell my Vit 701

    Indeed, the market is terrible 🙁 My 10/2020 Svart 701 has been for sale for about 2-3 months and I still don't have a buyer who is genuinely interested. If the bike doesn't sell until next season I think I will buy another one, and keep this forever. I really like this bike, but it's not that...

    2020 Svartpilen 701 for sale

    Hi guys, I'm trying to sell my 2020 Svartpilen 701 Style (first registered in October 2020 with 9,800 km on the clock). The bike is in mint condition, both technically and aesthetically. You are already familiar with the specs of this bike if you are on this forum, so I won't mention them...

    Front brake vibrations

    Hi guys! Yesterday I took some time to take care of my Svartpilen. I needed to replace the rear wheel bearings, because one of them had a little play. After that, I checked that all the bearings were operating smoothly, paying particular attention to the steering head bearings, as I had...

    Svartpilen 701 Suspension Parts

    Well, some components of the front fork were used on both Vitpilen and Svartpilen, but not the entire suspension. As for the rear shock, as a complete unit the one that is installed on Svartpilen was built especially for it. So, no cross compatibility between Svart and Vit! Check this link for...

    Front brake vibrations

    Hi guys, Ever since I got this bike (Svartpilen 701), one thing has been bothering me a bit! When braking moderately, when I almost come to a complete stop, at low speed(like 5km/h), for a very short period of time (like half of a second or maybe a second), a vibration in the front brake...

    Dual disk

    @Actionabe after doing some searching , I found out that the front lowers of the Vitpilen 701 fork legs are the same as Svartpilen 701 ones. So I might use the same setup as yours for the front fork. I must dig further 😁

    Dual disk

    After asking you I realized there are a lot of differences between Svartpilen and Vitpilen. I think the only thing I figured out is that I could use the 790 Adventure hub. But, the 790 Adventure spokes are thicker than the Svartpilen 701 so I either find another compatible rim or somehow work...

    Dual disk

    @Actionabe Damn, man! You're a fu#@ing master at modifying this bike😲! I really love the look of the spoked wheels and dual front brake discs. I'd like to make the same modifications to my Svartpilen 701, but I don't even know where to start. Any help would be very very much appreciated!

    Cheapnnasty SAS/EVAP delete.

    Is it ok to just block the hoses for deleting the SAS system? I don't want to completely remove it for now, just to test something. So I was wondering if I could just block the two hoses(the one from airbox and the one from engine itself).

    Exhaust popping

    Hi guys, After searching a lot for an aftermarket exhaust for the Svartpilen 701, I didn't find anything I liked. So, at the end of last season, I decided to keep the stock exhaust, which I think looks the best, and remove the DB killer. The result was perfect in terms of exhaust sound. However...
