    Engine swap?

    Why…. The engine is the best thing about this bike. If anything I would’ve thought to put the engine in a bigger (possibly older 80s - 90s) frame, not a larger engine in this tiny bike. It simply does not make sense to even consider it. Just buy 701.

    Vitpilen Suspension

    Nitron NTR R1 £550 great shock, NTR R3 £834 more adjustments cannot comment whether it’s worth the extra. You could go Ohlins anywhere between £600 and £1300 depending on model. I think YSS do a shock but I do not know which year etc. you have so you will have to search that up yourself. I...

    My New Svart 401

    Thank you, I have a FuelX and it’s wiring under the seat so this has layers of foam cut for various tools. Also here in the UK if you have a rear seat you must legally have rear foot pegs, I have deleted mine so needed to cover the rear seat. I can also put my phone in on its side and record...

    My New Svart 401

    Thank you. We half 5 days of 15c (near 60f) dry weather here, I had to wait a couple of days for the roads to dry out but managed 3 rides before it went back into winter. The roads are very greasy where they are damp as there is still some salt around, very scary on new cold tyres. Managed to...

    CNC bar end mirrors fitted under handlebars.

    What I can tell you is if they are ‘up’ they benefit from being more outward from the bar ends, like Toms ones above. If they are ‘down’ they benefit from being more inward from the bar ends but angled forward. This can cause interference issues with the tank or even your knees on full lock. My...

    Front Rotor Options

    All fitted and tested.....very nice indeed, I can brake hard with just 1 finger and the feel whilst trail braking into corners is less disconnected, more direct. I like it a lot. Pics. Cost me £216 delivered in the February sale, A great price in the end. Very happy.....Jes.

    My New Svart 401

    So quite a bit has happened since last year. I have gone back to standard gearing (15/45) albeit with better quality Afam rear and a new rubber dampened front. Bike is now back to Hooligan antics and I think I prefer it with more acceleration and can live with more revs at higher speeds. I can...

    @Tom, thank you for the link, AMS moto here in UK came through from KTM special parts Austria. This arrived today. Whoop! Whoop! Numbers are correct so it should be the correct one. I will be fitting tomorrow….

    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...

    Front Rotor Options

    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.
