    Automotive grade strong double sided Velcro, if you need to remove them often.

    Front Rotor Options

    They said it should be here in UK from Tuesday, then they will send to me. The problem with getting from EU is now UK has left all goods have extra payments added either by sender or by customs or both! Then when here in the UK customs or delivery company or both will add extra payments. This...

    That is the coil, it provides power to the spark plug.

    Front Rotor Options

    I have ordered the Galfer disc from Husqvarna Technical parts Austria, we will see if they can produce this Unicorn part for me. they are saying there were issues last year but it is 'in stock' with them and I should hear from them next week, so fingers crossed. This will be my final attempt to...

    Front Rotor Options

    Nobody has actual physical stock of the Galfer. They all say they do, take payment then they do not have an actual disc to send me so they refund my money. Might think about the Moto master flame one as they are showing as loads in stock. I have been down that road before though. Like I said...

    Not one supplier in UK can source a Galfer DF941CW, I have tried, sadly. I have ordered and payed for several only to be refunded later.

    401 Supermoto Build

    Not sure the bodywork actually fits. The proportions are out, the body would need to shrink down 20% to look correct I think. I think this idea has some merit but the execution in this case has some flaws. I would have just saved my money and bought a proper Supermoto if that is what you want...

    Front Rotor Options

    On Galfer website one for a KTM 390 adventure has the same centre hole as the Svartpilen wire wheels. Problem is I cannot find anyone who can supply one here in the UK. Several sites with wave Rotors quote as fitting the wire wheeled Svartpilen but after speaking to them it turns out they are...

    Exhaust system

    If you search Husqvarna on their (verex exhaust) site it shows a video of a Svartpilen full system sound check. Too loud for here in the uk and not appropriate for a little 400. No video of full system with db killer in though, it might lessen it a bit.

    Factory Coolant - Need to Topup

    Green is probably India’s own mix generic, mine had green also. I replaced with Motul motocool Organic (pink) the manual says 1.1 litres irrc but mine only took 950ml to fill from drained completely. I now have a spare new bottle (I bought 2lr) for later this year as when I will change coolant...

    Ride Report

    70f, too hot for me!!! Only joking, my low limit is 50f, but that’s if it is dry. Mid 80s are rare here in the uk but the Humidity is tiring. If I only rode 70 and above my riding season would be about 3 months!! Glad you got out though, looks like a lovely day for it.

    2024 Vitpilen 250: Requesting Owners/Repair Manuals

    Sorry that there are not any replies but I do not think many countries get the 250 and of those even less are selling many 2024 250s. I do not understand? If I search for ‘husqvarna Svartpilen 250 2024 manual’ google takes me straight to it on ‘husqvarna motorcycles.com’ website. If I hit...

    Time for Tyres!

    I think the Mutants would work great for the rugged looks and road manners. They are not cheap though! I couldn’t find many meaningful reviews on lighter bikes either, a few heavy touring bikes with them on but the price put me off for my Svartpilen 401. Also wanted to try a 140 rear, not yet...

    2025 KTM 390 Supermoto, $5499

    I get it on owning a Supermoto but that thing is not aesthetically pleasing to me. I have always loved the Supermoto look, part motocross part street bike and I have no doubt in the hands of a professional SM racer you can do all those backing the rear end in, peg scraping, constant wheeling out...

    2025 KTM 390 Supermoto, $5499

    Mmm, I think they have put too much bodywork on. It looks too heavy up top, not suggesting it is heavy but visually it looks bulky. I think more streamlined plastics would have been better. It’s a shame as many people have been wanting a 400SM and I think KTM have not done it well.

    Fuel-X location

    I put mine behind the battery in place of the tool bag, I have the tools in a bag on the pillion seat. I used some foam to pack around the FuelX and hold it in place with the rubber strap.

    39 tooth rear sprocket- unreasonable?

    My Afam 42 was listed for Duke 200! I risked it as 45 was the only option for svart or vit, they are the same and I believe they are all on a 520 chain? Even the 125s. Afam were one of the only manufacturers in Europe that make black (42) instead of orange.

    39 tooth rear sprocket- unreasonable?

    Mine would definitely bring the front up in second off the throttle in standard gearing. I do ride aggressively though and you are more over the front on a Vit. It will not lift with 15/42 though, off the throttle anyway. I am not a fan of wheelies, I never have been, here in the uk that will...
