I have my rebound at 20 for the shock. It is overdamped for sure, I tried at 15 but the rear wheel felt like it was skipping and was going to lose grip mid corner. I kept backing the rebound off until it felt settled. Even on Max preload the damping on mine is next to nothing and still a bit...

My rear shock has 10 ramps for preload, mine was on 5 when I bought it new. I set it to 7 to begin with as for me 5 was too soft. I have it on 10 now as at 95kg it was still too soft. I assume your shock has 10 ramps also as the sticker under the seat says set to 10 for full payload? If the OP...

Sorry, I should have asked, is the spring white? Does the back end bounce when you push the seat down? When the bike is upright without you on it, can you lift the rear up a bit or a lot? As far as I can tell from many sources for svart-vitpilens and KTM duke 390’ I know of nobody running with...

Have a measure of the bikes static sag ( just bike, no rider) and rider sag ( bike with you, fully kitted out, helmet boots jacket etc) static should be around 5 to 10mm these bikes are light at the rear. Rider sag should be around 25% of travel so travel for your bike 142mm so 36mm roughly. If...

Front headlight alone is £705 here in uk. You can probably get a very nice and most likely looked after second hand vitpilen 401 cheap now the new 2024 model has come out. Genuine parts for these bikes are very expensive and can take a long time to arrive. In my experience anyway. I can get a...

Yes I was surprised how much smoother the fuelX made the low end feel, genuinely the best mod I think. Yes I bought it in November last year but bike was stored over winter. You’ll be getting an 801 then?

So, passed 620 miles and no issues at all. In fact the quick-shifter is a lot smoother now and engine pulls hard from 6000 up. The last time I went out a week ago I had done 630 miles once back home. Today I reset the service reminder, I was expecting it to go to 620 mile but no, it went to 4661...

I would check first that Husqvarna in your country allow self servicing and the use of non Motorex oil to maintain Warranty. I dropped the factory (definitely not Motorex) oil out at 340 miles. I really wish I had done this earlier as the condition of the oil and the bits of liquid gasket in...

On page 1 of this thread post number 20.

Updated photos.. mods now complete, bar end mirrors, new exhaust, stickers removed and tail bag for tools as the space behind the battery is now used for FuelX lite and wiring. Modded airbox cover also fitted. Bike runs lovely now, I could hear the lumpyness smooth out in the first few seconds...

I just wanted some reassurance I guess. I have already made the decision to service the bike myself after falling out with the dealer that I bought it from. If it does cause issues, it would be on me as here in the UK husky will not honour warranty if you self service. Seems a bit wrong as my...

Has anyone done mods like fuelX lite, airbox or exhaust etc. before 620 mile running in? Will the fuelX lite affect the auto RPM change triggered by reaching 620 mile point? It is too wet for me to get out here and I am thinking of fitting my exhaust, airbox and filter but do not want it to...

I thought right curve as the crook of the knee against the seat and tank and the foot only just hanging on means an upshift in standard gearshift would be more awkward. Either way it makes corner exit up-changes easier. I’ve not ever needed to use it as the only race bikes I rode had standard...

Up for 1st down for 2nd, 3rd, etc. Racers use it so they can change up a gear whilst leant over in a right hander.

He does like his rev limiter! Way to many risks for my liking, the amount of time his wheels, whole bike or head are over the white line is scary. Just one truck doing the same in the other direction and bye bye biker. Not the way I would ride but does show a fast rider on a slow bike can easily...

Normal riding is rural UK roads. Where I live the roads are in poor shape for the most part. There are some potholes, poorly repaired potholes, raised or depressed drain covers and a lot of sections that have just been tar and chipped so many times the roads are crowned really badly. I have no...

An update on the forks, the new linear springs felt better but I was not getting anywhere near to the travel I wanted. I would like to use a lot of the 142mm of available travel with maybe 20-25mm spare before bottoming out in normal riding. I had 60mm (this is NOT including the 30mm at the...

Finally managed to get some time in the garage today. I bought a spare lid from Huskyparts (£28) filter foam is from eBay (£7) I already had the alloy plate and mesh. I have made a modded airbox cover. I know you can buy very good (and some not so good) ones already but I think they let way too...

Oh yes, I cannot wait for the warmer weather.

Wow over 1kg for a tube, I did not know that. Might have a re-think on the conversion.
