- Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 review. I have had it for a month and done only 400km due to bad weather, but this far I can say it is exactly as good as I expected. No issues at all, runs great! 600km till first service and then I can really open it up. Can't wait!

3:18 "The birds are singing, the sun is shinning, it can't be much better than this. Life is good". Very nice and wise words.
Looks like a beautiful day , for a country road ride!
Cheers Ian, indeed it was perfect 👍
That old Husaberg was a beast!
Indeed it was, swedish steel 😁
Looks like you had the perfect day and are enjoying the new bike. I thought that was a wedding at the church.
I wouldn't like to stick anything onto your new helmet that would detract the look.
I was out on my Vespa today, had a great ride. ☘👍
Midsummer celebration is the most important holiday in Sweden, more important than Christmas even. You are right, probably better not to "glue" anything to this helmet👍 I am glad you had a great ride too, hope you had nice weather also. Cheers mate 👍
That’s definitely a really nice bike. Ride safe bro.
Small capacity bikes are the future 😁 100hp less than my Triumph Speed Triple R 🤷♂ Cheers mate👍
Have you ridden the 2023 model? I visited a shop a few days ago and the 401 2024 is selling for +-6.5k but they also have a brand new 401 for 5k... 1.5k difference is huge so I'm still in doubt. What's your opinion?
Not the 2023 but I have tested the 2022 model, it's a great bike too and if you dont need the new dash, better fuel capacity, and all the new tech stuff, it could be a better choice. Personally I prefer the new look, it has matured imo. If possible try to test ride both before you decide, but I agree it's a big price difference .
Hey, do u have any plans on modifying the bike?
Like removal of the windshield, bar end mirrors, tail tidy removal, grab rail and installation of tyre hugger
This would bring back the old svart aesthetics to a point
If yes I'd love to see
There are not many people who are buying and modding new svart401
I've been searching on yt and insta for over 2 months hoping I'd see one bike that's modded to my taste but no luck
No plans currently, I like the old look too but I like the new look even more.
My 401's chain got rusted within 10 days of purchase..! I kept in under the cover and haven't used it for 5 days..and I found it rusted
You need to lubricate the chain, I dont think the dealer you purchased it from did. The main reason to use motorcycle chain oil is to prevent rust! And if you live in a country with high humidity covering up your bike will only make it worse. Watch my video here how to clean & lubricate your chain. ua-cam.com/video/9WWwCQ1ZS1Q/v-deo.html
Hi! I dont know why, but my dealer says to not use quickshifter until first thousand of km is done 🤨
I can't find anything in the manual that says so, but it might just be that they dont want you to go over 7500RPM the first 1000km. But you can use the quick shifter at lower RPM, around 4-6000 should be fine. Maybe dont use the down shift at lower RPM.
@@GurrasGarage yeah, thanks for reply! By the way, I have ordered that crash pads kit about 11th of may. But it is still on the way. I think it ships from china, that's why it's so long.
@@4308top Thats strange, mine came from a Husqvarna dealer here in Sweden, took only 3 days.
@@GurrasGarage Haha, good to you. It's your national brand😁
@@GurrasGarage I got the 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 as my first learner bike (basically the same bike but with a smaller engine and no traction control or adjustable suspension). I also bought and fit the crash pads fairly early on. I got the official middle and rear ones, as there weren't any cheaper 3rd party ones (there are many for the 2023 and previous models). For the front crash bungs I took a risk and bought a cheap pair on ebay that were less than half the price of the official ones but were advertised for the Vitpilen 801. I took a gamble that it may fit, given all the road Husqvarnas used WP suspension. Fortunately it paid off and I fit them the following weekend, I just had to cut down the central threaded rod slightly.
It's a good thing I did too as I dropped the bike the next day 😆. The only bit of damage was snapping the threaded mirror mount as the mirror hit the wall, so had to buy a new set of cheap universal mirror mounts on ebay, then do some cutting and filling as the left mount is non standard (the left one wasn't broken but I wanted a matching pair 😆). I totally get the planning for the worst thing, although in my case it still didn't stop some damage due to dropping it into a wall. I now ride my bike into the garage every time instead of pushing it lol.
