    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...

    Insurance

    Faster, more desirable (sorry) and stolen more. I’ve just had my renewal for my 2023 Svartpilen, I’m 54 with loads of declared mods. 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...

    Handlebar Position

    Regards tail tidy….dirt is not a concern no, I ride only in the sunshine, my bike is purely for pleasure, if the weather is forecast for rain it stays in the garage. Also I did not ride with the swingarm mounted original in the rain so could not say if R&G tail tidy is worse or better than...

    Handlebar Position

    Sorry should have added I am a bit of a tinkerer, this may not be as simple as I might have made it sound.

    Handlebar Position

    I have fitted bar end mirrors using the original bars, I used the bolt that holds on the end weights. I could not get the insert out of the bars either, mine is glued in. My mirrors were just meant to be to try out bar end mirrors having never had them before. I bought a cheap set from eBay for...

    Handlebar Position

    I have not changed the bars on mine for some of the reasons above. Mainly, not many 1inch bars available, aleast not nice ones that fit or are wider than the stock bars. Also the grip section on the throttle side needs something like 235mm of straight bar to fit the twist grip and front brake...

    Exhaust pop rivet removal

    Massively above my head info but it sounds like a great mod. 👍 I am more clockwork than digital as I am a 54 year old stuck in the 80s 🤣

    Exhaust pop rivet removal

    I did a similar mod but with much smaller holes. This with fuelx lite and just an Arrow endcan.

    FuelX Lite

    Actually after I fitted my fuelx I did the ECU reset, I could hear the revs rise and fall during and it did smooth out during the end of the 15 minutes. You may be correct but what harm can it do?

    Exhaust pop rivet removal

    I am not an expert on modern fuelling or modern electronics of any sort so cannot comment on your feeling for the mods you have done but what I can definitely say is that is way too loud for here in the uk. It may be fine in the Philippines, or other countries. It is also disproportionately loud...

    Exhaust pop rivet removal

    Cobalt bit. There is no db killer in the original endcan. You can grind out the smaller pea shooter and leave an oval hole to let more air out people have used a hole saw to cut the smaller pea shooter end pipe out but the results are horrendous, visually. There are you tube vids where people...

    FuelX Lite

    I might not be needed but I did an ECU reset after installing fuels lite. Took a screenshot from previous post.
