Video

Thank you for posting! Mine arrived today from EBay with Chinese instructions, but good pictures. The little details like the gromits really help. I feel confident to fit mine now 🎉

other than aesthetics, I don't think it will do much if any to wind resistance on the rider

I’m with you the older model has way more charm… But would love to have the new Tek on it. Great review thanks for putting it out there! 👍🏼😎👍🏼

loved the video! it was a comedic masterpiece & very well informative 🙏🏼

this doesn't look safe

Me encanta el modelo anterior. El diseño muy neo conservando las particularidades de una moto retro corta y aguil. Sería genial poder adaptarles cosas de las 2024 como, la pantalla, el exosto y la suspensión delantera.

Im curious if it works with grab handle included

Hi, Thanks for this. Can you recommend few Motorcycle rental shops in Tokyo ? Any website that is trust worthy?

what are those vans shoes called you wear???

did purchase from xitomer for my svart, add on rear box. sacrificing looks for practicality. which I am ok with it ( no more troublesome of tightening bag, which usually waste quite sometime)

Seen both in the dealer, the old version looks much better and bigger than the new one. The new one is not anymore special but looks like other ordinary bikes

What do you think about using two 22liter toolboxes as sideboxes?

Oh my you're the best!

Does it works with a case?

Great vid, looking forward to your video of the installation of the charger! Cheers

Greetings from Germany, I have just bought the 2023 and am waiting for delivery. In the meantime I'm looking for useful mods and came across your channel! Great content, more of it please.

I like that classic GSX50 in the background (4;42)

Funny enough I just bought these lights for my 2021 svartpilen 401. Where do you think would be the best place to attach the white wire to?

It looks like a piece of corn on top of the shit

Well done. Any good rides in the Kawasaki area?

What’s the mpg

Agreed I prefer the look of the older model.

you talk like an ai

it is a good day when Bikes on a Budget upload

I love the mud hugger, do you guys think a mechanic can help me put it on the newer model?

Is it really possible to crush the plastic? Seems like it had a fairly solid base that wont get hurt by the pressure from the screws. If you think so, I may go back to it and add some thick washers as well, as the spacers were not possible to use for this purpose. I used the spacers between the cargo plate and the two mounts that go on the bike, just to raise it up a bit. And my cargo plate was also mounted upside down from how you put yours on in the video, so the bent part of the plate facing the driver, is sloping down towards the pillion seat. Without the spacers, I could not remove my seat (I have a Vitpilen, which has a one piece seat), but with the spacers between the plate and the plate arms, it is raised up by JUST enough to unlock the seat, slide it back and then take it out. Also, having the bend down gives you a good transition between the pillion seat and the plate. I intend to have a 40L sit with the front half on the pillion seat and the other half on the cargo plate. It's to me the only orientation that makes sense, and the only orientation that works due to where the straps are located. Also, my body blocks all the wind so the bag won't catch any.

I had the clutch cover come with a used svartpilen. Uninstalled. And after watching this. Thats the way its going to stay. Thank you

Personally option on What husky needed to do instead of coming up with a lazy designed bike. keep the exact same design, but put in a bigger oil tank, extend the bike size like the 2024 model and thats it. Seat heights, display don’t matter. Agreed?

great content, thank you! appreciate the little every day details you provide. still love everything about this bike, wish i grabbed one when i had the opportunity! the older styling is much cleaner imho, if i end up with a new one first change will be a tall tidy kit lol! thanks again for the video!

1. How big of difference is there regarding the stance and stability of the new 2024 Svartpilen versus previous models driving on the highway? My commute involves getting on the highway. 2. As far as price goes, would you recommend buying a new 2024 Svartpilen stock or buying a previous model used and then adding a FuelX Lite, K&N air filter, DNA air filter cover, plus protection mods? I am in the States where there are less restrictions.

I got no instructions at all which is why I am watching your video !

yep im in love with my 2022 model svart. dont need much tech.

Love the new svart. You should check the new svart 801 coming out soon

I got a Xitomer rack and side racks, and i fitted a givi plate on it to install a givi box. They work great for me, and it gives me lots of strapping options for camping

is the 2024 model more off road capable than the older?

Solid video dude!

what abt the shifting to neutral problem? solved on the 2024 model? and oil leaking?

ist that the 2023 model? How about the changes in the 2024 model?

Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I hate the look of the new bike.

i would like to know how the two compare around corners and when leaning

Newbie here. I will get a Honda, but Svartpilen 401 still makes me want to click on the video.

If you're as obsessed with the Svartpilen as I am... this is hands down the best channel on YT. I'm thinking I might get the 2023 instead of the 2024 just so that I can buy some of your mods. Many thanks, friend.

Excellent comparison! Many thanks.

Nice to see some riders in my old "hood". I used to live in Mito/Ibaraki for a couple of years and took my bike to many places in Japan. Ibaraki is kind of okayish for a ride, especially the northern part where you have waterfalls, mountains and winding roads. 819 rental is a professional place and they do helmets, gloves and other riding gear as well. Better check with them in advance. I was back riding in Japan in 2019 and a friend and I rented two V-Stroms 650 from the Odaiba 819 shop and took them out for three weeks. 819´s service was excellent, the rentals (bikes and gear) was in immaculate condition. In the meantime there are, as mentioned in the vid, some more rental places but probably not all speak English, so check out before you go. A very nice area to go are the Japanese Alps and also around Mt. Fuji. People who are blessed with more time, might want to explore the Tohoku-area (nothern part of the main island of Honshu) and/or Hokkaido (during the hot summer time). Or go and cross the main island of Honshu and check out Sadoga-shima. It´s a very beautiful ride and on Sadoga-shima the atmosphere is really laid back and nice. Shikoku is another highlight. Oh man, I could go on forever...Bikers´ paradise...

Peace of shot engines made in India with engine blocks defected in casting , Cooling going start leaking only after 11.000 miles and no gasket replacement going to help you .

I want the exhaust, that tyre hugger, same old place for rear turn indicators from the old variant. Also I'd love to change spoke wheels to Alloy. & Yes, It's true. There's no riding mode. No Bluetooth & Many other features that have been stripped away from Indian version of Svartpilen. Including Pirelli Scorpian Tyres. Hypocrisy 😂 at It's best.

2023年モデルが好みかな！ オフロードも楽しそうです🏍️🪵

I bought those one and they can not stay firm. Any advice or a video of how to put them steady?

There is a carrier rack from bajaj (who is manufacturing husky ) that will almost fit and provide much space for luggage and little space for pillion.

But there is no bluetooth connectivity in indian models!
