    Husqvarna 401 Oil Change

    I'll keep an eye on my level...if it's too high I can pump it out (I have one of those oil extractors that work via vacuum which I use on the Sea-Doo jetski). The exhaust is strange. Where the oil drained on it, the exhaust actually cleaned up fairly nice. I wonder if it's some combination...

    Husqvarna 401 Oil Change

    Also, any way to get my exhaust nice like yours? Lol, or does yours look like mine now? I guess cause I have been in the rain so much and it’s been wet A LOT.

    Husqvarna 401 Oil Change

    Okay. Here’s some photos of this hooky, clip bracket thing attached to the skid plate/spoiler. I may also mention they don’t talk about this in the service manual either.

    Husqvarna 401 Oil Change

    Hmm. I just did an oil change on a 2021 Svart 401. For the most part it was pretty easy and didn’t encounter any issues or badly formed threads. My threads holding the skid plate on were full of dirt (I cleaned them out with a thread chaser (not sure the exact name), NOT a tap, this cleans...

    Come on man! Lol It's actually not to bad. As I said the wind is far worse. If that damn suit/gloves were waterproof it would've been alright. Still more fun than sitting at home looking at the covid numbers on the news haha R

    Cool. Ya, seemed easy enough. Just wasn't sure if I was supposed to block the chain or not. I do all my snowmobile maintenance and have even done complete engine rebuilds on it, so this is easy enough...just need to know the specifics/tricks for motorcycle maintenance. Thanks! And ya, I...

    Ah, yes, obvious now that you said it. Rider definitely demanding. Especially for 4 days, day after day. By the third day I was so use to it I almost didn’t care but the crosswinds are what I wish would go away lol Bike didn’t have any electrical issues so that’s a plus. I haven’t gone for...

    lol, it’s definitely been baptized. More than once! I was looking at heated grip options and the R&G look interesting but not 100% sure they were compatible. And yes, you’re definitely right. After I got my $20 hunting gloves I was much happier. Clamey, but warm hands. And I don’t believe...

    Why the wet specifically? many new riders and many new bikes never even go over a 1000 km. Lol

    BIG ADVENTURE on my 2021 Svartpilen 401

    Forgot to mention!!! When going through Lake Superior Provincial Park from the North part all the way to Agawa Indian Crafts there is NO GAS STATION lol. No signs before entering this part. At the Agawa gas station I put 9.74 L in my tank! The manual says it’s 9.5 L !!!!! So ya, I’d say I was...

    Ya, I was wondering about something like that. They’d keep your hands dry until the rain crept in. But at least warm. My hands were frozen in Ontario rain and I went to Cantire to buy some $20 waterproof hunting gloves XL and they fit over my regular Dainese blackjack gloves…lucky I took two...
