    Air box mod.. DNA filter

    I may be wrong as I do not have a newer version of the 401 but is the intake not open to the elements now? I thought the filter is in between the snorkel and the intake. The cover is for access and making holes in it without filtering them will just suck in dirty air and render the filter...

    Metal shavings in oil

    On my 401 those rings on that screen are magnets set into the plastic. If these flakes were ferromagnetic they would be stuck to the rings like a porcupine.

    Modified 401

    If you search ‘401 Supermoto Build’ in this part of the forum someone tried to do what you are attempting, possibly? I do not think it went anywhere near completion but it may give you a reason not to do it yourself..

    Winter storage

    I live in the UK, my bike is garaged, I ride mainly in temperatures above 15C (59F) and dry. The first winter I had my bike I winterised it…. I washed and dried the bike. I raised the tyres from the floor using front and rear paddock stands. I removed the battery to reduce the temptation to...

    Breakdown assistance

    I joined the AA specifically for puncture breakdown assistance to get me home in the event of a puncture. I have spoken to their customer service team direct to make sure they will cover flat tyres on motorcycles and they do. I stated I would not need the puncture repaired roadside but would...

    KTM 390 adv front wheel on svart 401?

    The front abs ring is for speedo reading also so it will not be accurate, I believe you can reprogram the dash for the bigger wheel but do not know for sure. Seriously, have you tried a pm to the guy who did the conversion? He states he is willing to help with info even though he has sold the bike.

    Project - the most premium Svartpilen in UK

    Cool project, I think I said before but I really like the Fresco under belly exhaust it looks super clean. You have a good eye for aesthetics. How are you getting on with the Michelin Road6? Do you have many miles on them yet? Also I’ve only just realised you have your Nitron shock mounted...

Exhaust, ECU, Air filter, Mirrors, tail tidy and suspension. £164 fully comp with 2 years NCD. £20 less than last year and £60 less than the year before which was...

    Anybody done a Air filter mod??

    It was the bolts I used to attach the alloy plate to the original air filter cover coming undone and falling into the intake. They have not undone at all in nearly 4000 miles. The bolts that hold the air box cover on were retained as standard. I have taken it to pieces to clean the Red fine...

    Anybody done a Air filter mod??

    Yes works faultlessly with my Arrows exhaust and a FuelX lite. Sorry I do not know how to link to the thread but hopefully you can see the pics.

    My Vit Journey

    Mainly mid Suffolk. The yellow area is the farthest I will ride, knowing where I am going and most of the backroads well. The red zone I know very well indeed having driven or ridden on them for 37 years! I avoid the A14 and A140 using mainly twisty B roads that have a reasonable surface and...

    My Vit Journey

    It might be just me not trail braking into the first few corners after I’m back in the national limit. I do tend to chuck it in, I am super confident in the handling and I know the roads very well indeed. At least I am feeling a slide in the front rather than it washing out. I am not too...

    My Vit Journey

    I fitted the Nitron R1 on my 401 in April 2024, so it is now at the end of its second season. The quality is on par with the Ohlins unit and they are cheaper and UK made, which is a plus. The Nitron is 1kg lighter than the stock on the 401. The standard shock is way over dampened and the spring...

    801 service reset

    Try….. Go to settings on dash menu, do not enter settings just hold up and down arrow at the same time until secret service menu comes up. If that happens you can set by time or by distance. This works on the 2024 401 onwards bikes. I’m no expert on modern dashboards so if it doesn’t work do not...
