    SOLD: Puig Smoked Windscreen for Vit/ Svartpilen

    It works a LOT better than the Puig for me. I know people don’t like to ruin the styling of their bikes with a big screen, but there really is no free lunch - bigger area = more wind protection

    Svartpilen Spoke Torque

    Rear wheels esp are usually different spoke lengths, hub is offset to make room for the sprocket cush drive on one side, brake on the other. The hub flanges are asymmetric. Hence the need for different length spokes to center up the rim over the hub.. And here’s the deal - the tension will be...

    KTM 390 Adventure

    This bike is the cousin to our Svart and Vipilen 401’s. I’ll bet there’s a welcome crowd that could add to this forum, not to mention potential cross compatibility of aftermarket parts options.. Have you/ we/us ever considered expanding the site to attract 390 Adventure riders?

    SOLD: Puig Smoked Windscreen for Vit/ Svartpilen

    Ultimately, the Puig was too short for my needs. There are a lot of aftermarket screens that are ‘Universal’ fit. It might take some creativity & hardware magic to fit these, but you can choose the height and style that works for you. That’s the route I ended up going. It was designed for a...

    SOLD: Puig Smoked Windscreen for Vit/ Svartpilen

    @bullet-man It was over two weeks before I received an address so I could investigate shipping to MEX etc. In that time, I had a buyer for all three items I listed FS on this Forum. Sorry if there was miscommunication, but a package deal worked out best for me as I stated in my other ad...

    Fork oil

    If you have a spring with 300mm of travel, and subtract 25mm of preload..there is not more distance before the bottom point. Adding preload to a spring is effectively decreasing total travel.

    Fork oil

    With all respect to the discussion and “I have also heard” you are mistaken. As you said, adding preload to the spring will reduce rider sag, but you are removing total travel from the system. Ideal spring rate for your riding style = no preload / max travel. But we don’t live in a perfect...

    Fork oil

    Fork Oil is cheap to experiment with. 10wt or 15wt motor oil is $3 USD a quart, red ATF (auto transmission fluid) is 7.5wt. Thicker will slow the circuit under compression (braking). If you can’t budget for new springs, adding a simple preload spacer (scrap pipe of similar inner diameter - PVC...

    New handlebars on my Svart 701

    Check your manual, and that both of your bar clamps are oriented the same way. On the Svart 401, the lower portion of the clamp is asymmetrical, relative to the mounting point of the top triple clamp. To give a few mm of adjustment fore and aft. You may have reinstalled with them opposed to each...

    SOLD: Puig Smoked Windscreen for Vit/ Svartpilen

    Of course.. I’d be happy to look into shipping it to Mexico. PM me your details and I’ll get a quote next week. It has the original package, but I would double box it to safely make the journey.

    SOLD: Svartpilen 401 “Style” Driver’s Seat

    Saddle comfort is subjective, I actually don't mind the stock seat. The Comfort Seat material is grippier and the foam feels slightly firmer. i only rode this Comfort Seat for < 50 miles. I suspect the extra support of the firmer foam would be a benefit for longer days. So I'd say Yes, there...

    SOLD: Puig Smoked Windscreen for Vit/ Svartpilen

    I believe it will fit the ‘20 model as well. There doesn’t seem to be major changes to the headlight & display area. Revzilla says it will fit - they list 2018-2020 / as the same part # I tried to verify / cross reference compatibility on Puig USA website, but there server was down.

    Rear Shock Choices for the 401?

    The tool included with my Niitron shock is super slick - to me an indicator of their overall build quality. It's a two sided pin tool that is also compact enough to fit under the seat. I'll post a pic later this weekend

    Custom Svartpilen by Revival Cycles!

    Those look like Continental TKC-80 twinduros in a taller size than stock on our bikes150/70/17 rear and a wider 120/70/17 front. I am still running the original tires, but have noticed the OEM sizes aren’t readily available. Come replacement time, I will be going to these +1 sizes.

    Husqvarna 401 Oil Change

    Thanks for the detailed write up! I’ve changed my oil 3x now, using the factory Husky/ KTM kit. Which includes the paper filter and two new screen filters. I bought them on an AOMC.mx Labor Day sale in 2019. Forgetting what I paid, but it was very reasonable and on par with K&N filter prices...
