    401 bike lean issue (minor side stand fix)

    My 401 leans a lot. Not sure if this is an issue with others. But I took a good look at the way the bolt works and my simple solution is to put a washer on the outside. Not sure what size as it was a spare Bombardier washer from my snowmobile ski bolt. The side stand doesn’t wobble about...

    Husqvarna Cast Wheels (Husky factory accessory)

    Hey, I picked these up a couple of months ago (ordered in March and didn't get til August!!! -- backordered on front brake rotor and rear wheel!). Anyway, pretty good quality, easy install. I replaced my worn bits from my spoked wheels (some spacers looked worn out). Bought new sprockets...

    Checking and Adjusting Valve Clearance on a 2021 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401

    Valve clearance check is recommended at the 15,000 km service interval. LONG POST, but it's not that complicated! Just putting all my thoughts down in case someone is having issues. I had never done this before, but I enjoyed it for the most part. If you're doubting yourself on doing this...

    White Rim Decals

    Hey all, planning on getting the aluminum rim set. Was wondering if the white Svartpilen decals/silk screening (or whatever it is) is available to get? I can’t find a part number or accessory for this. I found some yellow & white ones but I was looking for the ones which are on my spoked...

    Info: Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR Tread Depth

    So I before going on my trip I wanted to know how much tread I had left lol. I searched high and low and there was no definitive answer for this. Also, different size STR tires have different depth (I think). Anyway, I had about 4.5 mm on my tires so I opted to get a new set for my big trip...

    Mods: My Custom Side Stand Foot Enlarger and PIVOT PEGS for the Svartpilen (or Vitpilen)!

    Okay. So I hated carrying around that stupid plastic side support for my bike. So I searched the web and most of them (even the Alibaba ones) are for the old side stand (pre 2019) with the round foot. Anyway, no need to go into detail here as the pics speak for themselves. I was going to...

    Front Suspension Suggestions?

    Hey all, So I’ve put nearly 11,000 km on the bike (rode out to Nova Scotia (Cabot Trail) from Ontario. 5,200 km trip. Overall the bike was pretty good and my ass didn’t hurt as much with the Ergo seat. However, one thing I noticed was how light/soft the front is. Now I’m not sure if it...

    Luggage Carrier Rack, Radiator Protection, Handlebar Risers!! Modifications!

    Hey all, So I haven't used them yet, but just installed all of these on my Husky Svartpilen 401 (2021). They all seem fairly good, fitment was pretty good. Radiator was tricky to get on, had to put everything on loosely and then tighten all down. Anyway, all stuff from Procraft...

    Turn Signals for Svartpilen Outside of North America?? -- They look so much cleaner and not droopy lol

    So was watching a vid (sounds like he was from Philippines to me). Anyhow...wondering why their turn signals are different. Not that I care enough to spend a whole bunch of cash changing them, but it seems the Husky ones aren't too crazy in price. The part number for theirs is 12...

    Lubing Brake and Clutch Cables?

    Hmmm, Wondering if there’s a post on here about what needs to be done for brake/clutch cable lubing. I’m guessing it needs to be done as maintenance. I bought the Motion Pro V3 to do it and I was sure there was a how-to thread on here but now I can’t find it…maybe it was another site/forum...

    Mystery Oil on Clutch Side?

    Hey all, Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I just took the bike out of storage and noticed this today after a good 200km ride. It’s not anything crazy, but there’s clearly a thin film of oil there. I use DuPont chain lube so I doubt it’s coming off the chain. With I can’t see...

    SW-Motech PRO Tank Ring and DayBag Tank Bag on 2021 Svartpilen 401 or 701

    Alright. So I said I’d post it and here it is. Keep in mind these modifications to the ring are so I didn’t have to remove or modify the tank rack. If I messed up the ring it was $40 CDN, the rack …who knows how much. $150? This will/should work with a 401 or 701! Parts List...
