Welcome! When I was a teen I spent a couple of summers in D.F. and Monterey. Roads in Puerto Rico are far from perfect, I have a 2019 Svart and the suspension is adequate as it is for roads (haven't taken mine offroad yet). I might consider an aftermarket rear shock in the future but I have no...

I bought these and they felt very comfortable, but too warm for the Caribbean: Joe Rocket Briton These are my favorites right now for warm weather: Alpinestar SMX-1 Air V2

I usually ride with friends that own a KTM SMC R and a Honda CB500f. The bike that receives most compliments its my 401. I still find the 701 prettier as it is longer than the 401 (the 2020 401 tried to fixed that with the longer seat). I love it! Even if the 401 is enough for what I'm doing...

Nice!!! I like TCX boots too. I have the brown X-Blend Waterproof boots and the black Mood Gore-tex shoes. The X-Blend are like yours, great protection. The Mood's are more of a, let me use their marketing term: "Urban boot". But I like them anyways.

I want to try the Vitpilen clips on my Svart :D

Congrats on the bike Tinty! I have the T-Rex fender eliminator in my 2019 Svart, works and looks great. In terms of weight reduction projects, I changed the stock muffler to the Leo Vince slip on, have the rear pegs eliminator kit (not installed) and will change to a Lithium battery (thanks to...

Forgot to take better pictures, but here it is:

Thanks! Altitude is in meters. As we prefer riding on the old, curvy roads, we are always going up and down mountains, even as we reach the coast. Regarding the bowling center, it is a shame. The town had a big US Naval base from 1943 to 2004. As you can imagine, the town “died” when the base...

This was the ride in which I managed to make an Origami figure out of my license plate: All in good fun 😂

This one was two weeks ago, great weather for most of the right but the rain caught us good on our way back. We made the point of visiting the original “Plazas” of each town: the center of the town which usually had the town Church to one side and the Mayor’s office at the other. You can see the...

The previous owner of my Svart (good friend of mine), fabricated a really nice mount for the license plate and turn signals. However, apparently I believe I have a Supermoto and on my last ride this happened: Today I adjusted the rear shock and installed the T-Rex Racing rear fender...

Hi everyone! Still have photos of a couple of rides I need to post (work has been crazy). But I had to post this one from my last ride. Need to remind myself I dont have a Supermoto (like me friend). Also need to tighten the rear shock :)

Great changes!! (y)

Very cool! My friend has a KTM 690 SMC R. After riding it last February, I got the bug of getting a motorcycle... and months later the Svart happened.

What an swesome route! The views from your photos are really nice. I've never ridden on dirt roads with my Svart, need to try that out.

What an awesome ride! Really incredible what you did with your Svart 🤘 Really cool pictures! Can you post more pics of your bike with the crash bars? Looks great.

Thanks! Yes, this is Puerto Rico, the pictures are from the East coast of the island (Maunabo and Yabucoa), about 1.5 hours from were I live. I can certainly post more comments and pictures in a separate thread (and would love to see post of rides from other members too!). Besides riding...

Today’s ride

That was a nice read. He has more motorcycle related articles. Good stuff.

I have to say, the new muffler is very nice, I love the sound!!! Even getting some of that nice exhaust gurgle / pops on deceleration. Pretty fun, now it sounds like a proper bike 😂 I haven't heard a 401 with an Akrapovic, but I can say that the stock muffler is just too quiet.
