    Exhaust pop rivet removal

    I took out the center canister and then cut my dB killer on the stock one about 4 inches shorter than stock.. So it still looks stock from the outside. Sounds good to me and not too loud. It was much to loud with just a slip on and still sounded odd. Then I removed the canister and had the...

    2019 svart 401 rear brake help

    Yeah you can try bleeding the rear brake but the question is why would it now have air in the system. Did the shop work on the brake?

    Rough idle, oil consumption, engine shut off issue

    If your 2023 happens to be still under the 2 year warranty then I would take it back to the dealer and not mess with it. There definitely should not be oil around the spark plug so there is either a gasket leak or something more major. How much oil did you need to add?

    2019 svart 401 rear brake help

    Did the shop work on the rear brake? There is really no adjustment like on a old drum brake setup with a cable. This is a hydraulic master cylinder at the brake pedal and then a hose and then the caliper over the disk brake. Unless the shop worked on the rear brake there should be no reason...

    gear shiting on Vitpilen 401

    On this bike you do not want to shift until 4000 to 5000 rpm if you are just lazily cruising around. If the bike is stock (no fuel tuning device) it will just lug (chuga chug chug :p) under 5k rpm. When you are comfortable going faster you will probably want to shift in the 7000-10,000 rpm...

    Coolant issue

    If it were me I would not mix them just because of what the mix might look like (pink plus green). Depending on how low it is you could just add distilled water. Seems like a waste to flush it so early in its life. You could also take it back to the dealer and ask them why it is low, they...

    2022 Vitpilen 401 Chain sound

    Some say the stock chains are junk and wear out quickly but I don't personally have enough miles on my 2022 for mine to be worn out. There is some chain noise as there is with all brands of bikes and chains. How many miles do you have on the chain?

    Bike won't start... Sidestand Down?

    Same problem the pre 2024 models had. Sad they can't fix something that I am sure they are aware of.

    Bike won't start... Sidestand Down?

    Bump starting motorcycles is not easy especially large displacement single cylinders. I have not tried it on the 401's so not sure how easy it would be. You could try it now that it is running just to see. If it works now not sure what it means as it would almost sound like the the bike...

    Bike won't start... Sidestand Down?

    Well it sounded like you were taking it to a dealer so not sure anyone needed to speculate. If troubleshooting it yourself then start by checking all the major battery cables to the starter relay and to chassis ground. The ones at the battery have been known to be loose on the 2024's. On the...

    Engine issues

    If it were me I would start with the simple things like disconnecting and jumpering the sidestand. On mine with it running and the clutch (in in first gear or any gear) if you just move the sidestand down 1/2" the bike will die. Just seems too sensitive to me. Then if that is not it I would...

    Broken handlebar brace weld

    You will need to remove the handlebar to do it right in any case so here are your options: 1. replace them. 2. weld or have it welded but that means removing paint around the area and most likely respraying the entire bar with paint. 3. cut off the "brace" and grind the weld smooth but that...

    First Bike, 2023 or 2024?

    Is the 2024 really $5k or is it $5500 or $5800? The 2023 you can probably negotiate it down below $4k. For me the looks of the 2023 and the 1500+ difference in price is why I got a 2023

    Erratic turn signals on stock 2020 EU Svartpilen

    The 26mV AC is good so I doubt the charging system is interfering with the turn signals. Not much left when the engine is on other than ignition noise. Not sure how you would find that other than maybe with a oscilloscope. "Before, it was only with the engine on + brake active" I suppose...

    Erratic turn signals on stock 2020 EU Svartpilen

    Then I would put a multimeter across the battery and check the DC Voltage and then switch the voltmeter to AC Voltage and see how many millivolts of AC there is. Should be less than 50 millivolts (mV). There might be noise coming from the charging system like a bad diode.

    Does it also do this with the engine OFF?

    Exhaust system

    Not sure there is any db killer that will make any exhaust with no Cat and no chamber compliant. I guess it depends on the countries or cities regulation but most are probably under 100db. Can't even make the stock exhaust compliant by removing the muffler and installing an aftermarket muffler...

    Check your gear shifter

    Maybe not all years they had the boots. Mine is a 2022 and they are on both ends of the shift rod

    Check your gear shifter

    What happened to the rubber boot that is supposed to be covering that end link? On mine there is no way for the screw/bolt to get lost as the rubber boot will keep it from falling out even if it comes undone.

    401 svartpilen wont start when HOT

    When it gets hot does it run ok or does it die and then won't restart? Since it is at the dealer not much you can do other than wait or bring it home the same and either fix yourself or find a independent shop. The dealer must have the scan tool so I am guessing they found no issue with the...
