Hey everyone,
just recently bought a Svartpilen 701 Style from 2020. It has 6k km and has been serviced thoroughly, with both the tank and clutch recalls done. Every time I switch to 3rd gear, a sound appears, that is only present in 3rd gear. The sound could be described as some sort of...
I realized that on this Leo Vince dual exhaust that my bike came fitted with , you didn't have to remove the rivets and cut off the dB killers, you just have to remove two screws that are welded to the dB killer cups (but it's a very small weld that brakes off when using a long allen key to...
Eliminating the dB killer, as in removing the end cap of the exhaust pipe by drilling the rivets and then sawing off the dB killer that is inside ? Cause I was planing to do that anyway (I did it on my Svart 401's stock exhaust, which resulted in a great sound improvement).
Ok great thanks. Do you mean all these three modifications will achieve less jerkiness only when combined altogether, or each of them will already have an noticeable effect by themselves ?
Hi everyone, just bought a second hand 701 "style". I think I've read somewhere, sometime ago, that there are some 'plug and play' ECUs that you can fit the bike with so that it'll run in a less jerky way at low rpm. Is this a fantasy, or a reality ?
Thanks !
Hi, as stated in the title, I'm curious about whether anyone tried to achieve the Vitpilen's headlight and speedometer setup/layout on their Svartpilen. I find the Svartpilen's headlight cover and speedometer position and mount mindbogglingly ugly compared to the very slick and stylish...
Hi, I am very curious about whether you eventually went down the route of option 1. I'm considering buying a Svart but the whole headlight fairing + speedo display combo is mindbogglingly ugly compared to the Vitpilen layout. Would like to know if it's possible and how it ends up looking. Thanks !
Hi, has anyone fitted their bikes with these ignition and clutch cover protections ? Official Husqvarna ones or from other brands (there are plenty to be found on Aliexpress that are much cheaper as you can guess).
I would like to know if installing them requires to use a torque wrench when...
Nice to see all those arrows being ridden in so many different places around the world ! Here are a few pictures of mine, in the french southern alps, that I took while on a multi day adventure :
If you're interested, you can check this video out to see more of this particular location...
@stroem I believe @BISavage is being sarcastic here, as he seems to be a happy 401 rider himself ;) The looks of the whole vit/svart platform is indeed polarizing, but most of the people who can't stand their aesthetics tend to like highly modified turbobusas and other two wheeled abominations...
Hello everyone and thank you Carl for putting this forum together. I ride a 2018 401 Svartpilen that I bought new in early 2019. I did only small modifications on it, most noticeably a tail tidy, and also removed the dB killer from the stock muffler. I ride mostly in eastern France and...
