Nice work. I've been thinking of having something done to my seat as well. The stock one gets pretty hard very quickly.

That should have been a warranty job and free to you. I'd get in touch with Husqvarna head office in your country and make a complaint, saying that Husqvarna service should be better than this. Ask them what will happen if something major happens in the warranty period - "How much will you...

A bicycle lock will do for a helmet, either a cable lock or U-lock. Something visible is a deterrent and helmets are not often the target for theft. Most helmet locks on bikes are just a hook under the seat, it's the seat lock that secures it. You can make something up yourself. I've seen...

You can get a kit that will allow the higher Svart bars on the Vit. I think I've linked to it on this forum. If I've not done the link then somebody else has and I've read about it.

Remember that the ABS light will show until the bike is moving. Anything above walking pace should be sufficient. ABS relies on getting a reading from both wheels, I think the speedo only needs the rear wheel. There might be a problem with the front sensor. If you have had to replace brake...

Try some Plastidip colour schemes. If you don't like it you can peel it off. And here comes some red, yellow, blue, green. :)

And now my mind is churning over the idea of getting some random odd shaped bolts and quietly putting them into a similar place on various mate's bikes so they find them when they get home and try to figure out where they came from. :) In the days when i used to race catamarans we'd sometimes...

Another option would be to chase up KTM forums to see what people are doing there. There are lots more 390s around than Svarts and somebody is likely to have wanted to do the same.

Translation: The travel is to be measured vertically, not according to the radius of the wheel, which makes it possible to reduce the angle of the license plate. Namely that when the motorcycle is on its wheels, the depress of the rear suspension is already about 15 mm, 50 mm rider sitting on...

Thanks for finding the thread. I found the block of timber I used and took some pics of a mock up of what I did. The hole on the left is the same diameter of the mirror stalk. I burred the edge to locate the bend. This is a piece of plastic tube, showing how I had the clamp to bend the...

I'm with you about the mirrors. After looking at a bunch of suggested replacements I managed to bend the shafts of mine so they sit lower and wider. Now they are in a better position and don't bug me.

One of the nicest sounding bikes on the planet. Check out the youtube guy, Royal Jordanian. He rides around the streets of London. That's it, just riding the streets of London sounding fantastic.

I use this one

I don't know if the bike allows it automatically after the first 600 miles or whether the dealer needs to update the bike for it, but Supermoto mode is more fun. It sharpens up the throttle response so you don't have to give it as much twist of the wrist to get it to perform. It also removes...

When I went in to order my Svart they didn't have one in the store but they had a Vitpilen. I sat on that but it felt like I was about to fall over the headlight. The Svart is fine, so that few inches extra bar height made the difference for me. I imagine I would have got used to the Vit...

The motor loves to rev and it spins up very easily. However, there is no sense in going over the max HP point at 9,000. It will rev out higher and if somebody is trying to get to max speed and is in top gear then it's inevitable that it's going over that point. The danger of high revs is valve...

Doing your own work is possible if you are that way inclined. I've worked on lots of motors over the years from simple two strokes to a top end rebuild on a Jap inline 4. The Svart single cylinder motor is not complicated. Best case sounds like a bent valve stem. Worst case is the valve head...

That happened to me. I saw the all black model 2019/20 and loved it. When my 21 model arrived it had less black and more mid grey smoke/silvery paint. It wasn't a big deal as the bike still looked great and once it showed me how much of a hooligan it could be I was hooked. :)

When I said Sept/Oct, I meant the previous year. I've edited the post to show this. I mentioned summer, but was getting mixed up with our summer in the southern hemisphere. Release info gets to the press so they can prepare articles etc, then the release date hits, and soon after that the bikes...
