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...

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.

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...

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...

Now that’s what I’m talking about.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

Never measured times, I think 0-60 will not be any different, it might actually be smoother as you will or have to frantically go through the gears as fast. what I can say is I used to overtake cars in between corners with a quick twist and I would not even have to think about it but on the...

Yes of course you are right. Sorry my own explorations in gearing fried my brain. You guys in America seem to be able to get 16t fronts very easy compared with here in UK.

I have gone down to 42 on the rear with a standard 15 on the front. This calms the acceleration down quite a bit and makes the bike more civilised and manageable, well for a little 400. On the standard 15/45 gearing with a few gentle (air box, fuel X, and End can) mods my smart was a bit mad...

I put S22 on my Svart 401 in late October just before taking her off the road for winter. I managed around 80 miles on 15 degree dry roads and got them scrubbed in. They do not warm up as fast as the Pirelli Rally STR’ do but they do not have the block movement of the Pirelli’s to help get some...

Do not get me wrong I love my Husky but I am now regretting not buying another Honda.

What has raising the front 2.5 inches done to the handling? I would imagine it has slowed the steering down a lot? Also you have a hard rear end and a super squishy fork, how does this feel on the road?

I have a 2023 Svart, I tried everything to remove the threaded inserts from my bar ends to no avail. I used the original bolt from the bar end weights to hold on my bar end mirrors. The bolt was smaller than the one from the new mirror so I used some alloy tube to reduce the hole. I could not...

As per the title really, with KTM announcing self administration, how does this affect us Husqvarna owners. I mean regarding parts, warranty and services. I can find no info anywhere just people talking about KTM…!

Also maybe if you are going to keep the modded air box lid you could print another lid with just 2 x 25mm small holes instead of the 6 in your design. I know the coober - k&n type open lids are popular mods but I think they allow too much air in. My lid mod has just 2 small holes, just enough to...

You could try an idle ecu reset. Just start your bike but do NOT touch the throttle, let it idle for OVER 15minutes without touching the throttle but NOT MORE than 16 minutes. This should allow the ecu to self adjust to the fuels. I did mine for 15.30 on the stopwatch and could hear the rpm...
