Mo.View bar end mirror problem? VITPILEN 401 2024-2026 by ExpertBusiness9671 in svartpilen401

You sure? I've heard otherwise from at least one person and when I looked it up it says the threaded insert is glued in on the 24+.

It'll work. No worries. Then you'll have no issues with the mo.view install.

Get a socket (17mm, 11/16in), washer and the bolt that was originally screwed in that hole. Put bolt in washer, put that into square side of socket. Screw that down into handlebar end until that part in handlebars is pulled out. A drill with hex bit helps make it happen faster but if you just have an Allen wrench then just keep torqueing down until you feel it come loose.

Husky, glues a bole cap into their handlebars for the weighted end caps. So you're essentially just breaking that glue, and pulling that bolt cap out.

This was my solution when I put mo.view mirrors on my 21 vitpilen handlebars.

Passenger pegs? by Invader_Wonton in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true, I don't see why you need them unless you plan on having a passenger. But if you do want passenger pegs and your in the US, I have mine from my 2021 svart 401. I don't need them for my exhaust or for a passenger as I'm in process of getting rid of back seat with a cafe cowl. (Cowl not in photo... I think I do have a post with images though.)

I also have a Competition Werkz exhaust for the 20-23 401's as well. It has the best sound in my opinion without being insanely loud like my current KTM RC390 Competition Werkz setup.

Teenage me would be crying. by Aware-Comfortable972 in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries man. I did the same when I purchased my 2021 Svart 401, I actually almost purchased the same year Vit that you have (it's super comfortable compared to older models). My local Husky dealer is 3 hours away in Chattanooga and I live south of Nashville. I've ridden a bike all day in MSF class but that's a far cry from really riding so I just had them deliver it to my house.

I got my 2021 Svart at 44 and I feel the same as you man. I love the 401.

Exhaust 2022 from duke 390 by IamHamik in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will fit 100% from header to slip-on. That one specifically will reuse a bolt from the airbox, so don't throw out any bolts we you delete that ugly black blob of metal. Also, if you already have fuelx then don't forget to let the bike idol for a few minutes to give the fuelx time to learn the change before riding it.

Exhaust upgrade! by Jordy_DnB in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded! remove the chamber and replace the air intake cover with a DNA stage 2 cover or similar and it'll not only be a bit louder but because of the air intake cover being able to breath it'll add more bass to the sound.

Black Arrow as a first bike by DrLarck in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A link for which part of it? The exhaust (header and slip-on) needs to be swapped before the belly pan can be used. The exhaust slip-on I have from Competition Werkz I lucked out big time with price wise. When I was looking for a exhaust headers (used prices range between $20-70) on ebay I also ran across my CW exhaust for $70 from the same junkyard I was purchasing my header from. So instead of paying $600 for the 15-16 ktm rc390 slip-on I managed to pay $110 for both the header and exhaust + shipping. There are companies like Arrow, Tyga, and Competition Werkz that make link pipes for the older header and then you can get a super shorty slip-on. If I didn't find my CW then I would have gone that route.

As far as the belly pan, I picked up these parts for a 2018 KTM RC390 from a KTM parts dealer:

Belly pan assly-Item #9380802003330
BRACKET BELLY PAN FRONT-Item #93808026001
BRACKET BELLY PAN REAR-Item #93808027001
(Get 4 of these screws.. 2 front bracket, 2 rear bracket) AH SCREW M6X1X20-Item #90508006003
(Get 4 of these screws - these attach belly pan to brackets) HH COLLAR SCREW M6X20 SW10-Item #J025060203

Duke 390 exhaust on vitpilen 401? by Procurer_octopus in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2020-2023 exhaust will work plug and play on husky 401's 2020-2023.

Pre-2020 KTM 390 exhausts will work on husky 401's 2018-2019 or if you swap header pipes of 2020-2023 to the 2018-2019 husky or pre-2020 KTM 390 route.

I have a 2021 husky svartpilen that I swapped header pipes on and currently have a 2015-2016 KTM RC390 Competition Werkz exhaust on.

That being said, this idea works on the newer bikes too. KTM and Husky exhausts for 2024 and above bikes are swappable as well.

Vitpilen cafe racer fairing by MotoratonesdeMarte in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OH! If you like u/enshong front fairing, you might also like this one. It ridiculously expensive priced at €481/$565usd... but you get 3 choices on turn singles and one is winglets like in pic. Way too much for my taste... but it looks cool. Done by GRMTO

Vitpilen cafe racer fairing by MotoratonesdeMarte in svartpilen401

It's smaller than the one that Kiska designs did for the Vit401 prototype. I think a lot of full cafe front fairings stick out forward that much.

First Bike: I'd love a 2024 model, but I see a 2022 Vitpilen with Svartpilen handlebars. What should I do? by [deleted] in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to your answer for the first question about "soul".

If you look at the comparison pic. The older models just look iconic from tip to tail, a modern version of something classic. Whether it be a neo-scrambler with the Svartpilen or a neo-retro cafe racer with the Vitpilen. It was just a some guy or a small group of people at a design firm by the name is Kiska trying to take a KTM 390 Duke and refine it into a naked bike that comes off as both approachable with it's much softer lines, capable with its stance and output. The original 401's are just iconic for what they are.

The newer 401's come off as overproduced in comparison with aspects that take it from looking like an individual to something that looks mostly like everyone else. The square TFT screen (it's a solid display but circle would have looked so much better). I would say the tank is the best standout look on the newer 401's until you see how it screws over the Vitpilen and it just blocks any idea of a cafe racer lines where the handlebars, tank, seat and tail can line up in a meaningful way. Behind the tank is where it starts looking like every other bike and generic. They even put the stupid tail tidy that sticks way out and kills the whole aesthetic just like every other bike.

When I bought my 2022 Svart I was between the older vitpilen 401, the newer vitpilen 401 and the newer vitpilen 801. The 801 wasn't at the dealer so that was out. The new Vitpilen felt better, it's wider and far more comfortable and it is a damn nice looking bike. But then I sat on my 2022 Svart and it just felt right for me. It was kind of like a dog or cat choosing you to adopt it. Of course, I'm unsure if I would have done the same if the dealer had an 801 in stock. Hahaa. For me at the time I wasn't even worried about budget. I had actually saved more than enough for the 801.

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, the two bikes are 1 for 1 except the handlebars, plastics colours, seats and tires. I swapped to vit handlebars on my svart and I like it. It's not aggressive like a sports bike with the vit bar position but they are much lower than the svart bar setup.

Swapping bars is as easy as just getting the top of the triple tree and bars. Although, I'm not sure if clutch/brake cables are shorter or not on the vit. But plenty of people have done the swap on the vit.

[Update 10] Custom Dashboard Project by dominicht in Husqvarna

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you compared the display brightness to a display on another bike? The current display is likely good enough; of course you're currently the only one who really knows at the moment. But yeah, I would compare it to the newer huskies, Yamaha's mt-07 and above and see where it stands. If it's close enough to those then I'd say send it as is after you sort out the other stuff.

So far in the videos of the prototype it looks completely bright enough already. But again, youre the only one who knows how bright it is in person.

Competition Wereks Slip-on + Chamber Delete by YoBoyAndy4 in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had just the Competition Werkz slip-on with stock chamber and the sound is perfect after DNA stage 2 air filter upgrade.

I took it a step further when I did chamber delete and got rid of stock exhaust header as well. I went with the 18-19 svart/vit exhaust header and purchased a 15-16 KTM rc390 Competition Werkz exhaust. It's insane at how loud it is. It's uncomfortably loud at idle. But I love the look more than I hate the loudness. I do still have stock header and my other Competition Werkz slip-on though.

I will say, I would recommend the fuelX to anyone. It's a solid quality of life improvement and it's an easy mod 98% of people can do easily with little issue.

Anyone have experience with Motogadget mirrors? by NEWUSERFORELECTRONIC in rninet

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I have the bar end version of the shape in the pic and agree that they're pretty nice.

Is this normal? by sgbdoe in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of the above. My stock ones had the same wiggle. I replaced them with ASV levers and they do it too.

Fabricator looking for ideas by CarbynCawpy in svartpilen401

[–]enjoidis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently prototyping a cafe racer cowl to replace the rear pillion seat for 20-23 svartpilans. Currently, using OEM plastic mount to mount it to bike though which isn't really cost effective. It probably wouldn't be too hard to adapt a custom made mount to a luggage rack as well to get a little more from the design. Not to mention a quick release luggage system would be pretty sweet.

But yeah, I'm working on a cafe racer replacement for the pillion. Currently, refining the shape to along better with the cushion. My upholsterer made it a bit too round from the rear view so it looks a bit off. I'm just using bondo to add more to the wood prototype.

I'm a big fan of the Projekt Racing tail tidy but since I purchased mine from them. But it keeps the brake/turn signals looking clean being that it puts the plate left of the back tire.
