Without the lid I had the impression that the intake roar is transmitted to the seat. In my opinion the intake roaring drowns out the sound from the Akra. With the snorkel there is still plenty of roar. It starts at higher revs and sings a harmonic duet with the exhaust🙃 In my ears the engine...

I tried that raised lid too. Almost not visible, but the result was too noisy for my taste. I preferred a more channeled airflow to avoid unnecessary turbulence in the airbox as much as possible. Many have reported a higher fuel consumption with an open airbox. With this additional snorkel I...

Well, I took a different route. In my opinion it sounds and performs even better than without the lid. Unfortunately no dyno numbers. Maybe interesting for someone searching for more torque and factory look.

The air filter is not the bottle neck, so it will not make any difference.

The rear suspension on my Svart was kind of harsh when new. Different settings did not change much and I was quiet disappointed. After a few thousand km I have the impression that the damping characteristics on rough surface have improved a lot. I don’t know if the linkage was a little stiff or...

(y) The Vit has a 110 - 184 spring and the Svart 90 - 190. The Vit coil might be stiffer.

No gloves, but acetone if I remember right. Maybe I‘ve got a bad batch of the Tesa velcro🤷‍♂️

It didn’t lasted for long in my car. After a year the glue failed and things started to fall off. (Stopwatch, penholder, parking disk) It also depends on the surface. Thumbs up that it will last in your throttle.

On a hot summer day the velcro will move away🤡

The O2 Sensor Controller on top affects the closed loop. The adjustable Fuel Mod Dongle modifies the temp sensor signal with a potentiometer. (Similar like the Booster Plug but adjustable.) From my understanding the Fuel Mod Dongle affects closed and open loop and has the risk of over rich...

Why do you think that Kevs‘s mod is a “temperature sensor thing”?

There is a link available for the Svart to rise the rear: https://www.bergos.de/technik/fahrwerk-zubehoer/hoeher-tieferlegungen/5462/husqvarna-hoeherlegung-svartpilen-701

With 15/40 and 114 chain there wouldn’t be many threads left for adjustment. For that reason I went with a 112 chain. If choosing the 15/42 ratio the standard length chain (114 links) should be fine. As much as I know, Husqvarna OEM 520 spare part chain has always 118 links and needs to be...

Itˋs 15/40 and the chain has 112 links. BTW I prefer my nuts colored in baby blue medium strength😜

Oh no, I just bought for a bargain the RK GXW black chain and a Supersprox Stealth. How much will the new set up slow down my bike?

At WOT and high rpm (with or without airbox lid, original exhaust with cat) AFR will be around 12.5 So you‘re right, there is some margin of about 0.5 to weaken the mixture without loosing power. On the other hand you‘re not only removing the cat, you‘re also have a smaller silencer with less...

Usually a decat requires an optimized mapping to achieve the best result. Without the cat it has less back pressure. The sharp cam has much overlap and AFR will react quiet sensitive with the tendency to run lean. There are two options: 1. You buy from a tuner you trust a proofed package of...

Same thing, different words :)

You can trail the rear brake as well, it is a useful tool for tightening a corner.
