Thanks mate! Hopefully you’ll do it in a less awkward way than me. What setting are you opting for?

@@vanyer401 the one for max load, planning on taking the wifey for a ride!

@@Arispo94 please tell me how it performs… and how on earth can a passenger (any passenger) fit on this bike :)

@@vanyer401 hahah I'm too optimistic with her being comfortable that's for sure, but it'll be fine for a short ride around town (I hope)

@@Arispo94 just the other day, I saw a vitpilen 701 with a pillion passenger. I don’t know how but they looked just fine. Still, they were probably a couple so the tight hugging wasn’t awkward :)

Thank you so much! I’d like to say it was intentional but it wasn’t :)))

;) the struggle is real! If you start riding the Svartpilen is the way to go! Thank you for your nice comment, really appreciate it :)

Hahahaha I hope not :)

I think so too John. Arguably, I feel way more comfortable now on the bike. I don’t believe handling is affected a lot.

Thanks for watching! I’m afraid I haven’t found anything better. It is hard as you can see from my struggles. You have to make sure that you’re using the spanner extension and at the correct position of course. In my experience, Svartpilen owners are smarter than average so I’m sure my clarification above is not needed :))))) maybe if you have a buddy lifting the back in order to alleviate some pressure? Although the chances are low because the preload doesn’t work like that (I think?)

I know right ;) ?

I’m 178cm. Before the adjustment I could touch ground completely flat. After the adjustment I haven’t noticed any difference. Still can touch the ground flat but exactly as before. If the surface is uneven the I can’t because it’s a tall bike. All in all the suspension adjustment is not the solution if you’re shorter. I think I am the absolute limit (size wise) for this bike. Please keep in mind that height it’s not an appropriate metric in this instance. Inseem length is more important so if you’re 175cm and have longer legs then it’s better.

You’re right but I had to do it for three reasons. 1st: I needed to see if I was able to easily do it myself. It is supposed to be fully adjustable by people with no similar experience. I.e. me! 2nd: I couldn’t find an instructions video for the Svartpilen online. 3rd: I had to check that it was in the correct position in the first place. For the front suspension for example I noticed that one of the knobs was not symmetrical to the other. My suggestion is to always check these things yourself (says the guy who didn’t check when bought the bike 😅)

@@vanyer401 Thanks!

I can imagine. I don’t get it why they feel the need to release a new Svartpilen every year. It’s the same with minor aesthetic updates! It’s good though because that means that they don’t lose their value as much 🎉

The adjustable suspension is a feature on the 401 and the old 701. I’m afraid, It is not available on the 250 and 125 as far as I’m aware.

I think I understand what you mean and in all honestly, I was thinking something similar? Is this your bike? No expenses spared indeed!

@@vanyer401 Yes, my bike 🙂. Once you get the pressure off the spring in the rear shock it turns much easier and you don't end up smashing your knuckles into the frame or brake fluid reservoir.

@@El_Rudo she’s pretty! Thanks for the feedback, I’ll definitely try it out when possible

Yes, exactly!

This feature was introduced on the Svartpilen and Vitpilen since 2021. They should have it if they are the 401 and above. In which country are you located?

Have you tried to lift the rear end? You will need another person to help you but this will alleviate some pressure. Remember to use the pillion handles to lift the moto. Tell me if it works and good luck!

@@vanyer401 Thank you ! I have put the bike on the rear stand, applied some w40 and managed to adjust the shock😁

@@papymougeot6196 amazing!!! Take note guys: if you lift the booty it unlocks! Most juvenile joke ever! No regrets :)

I see. I guess it is a newest feature? Weird though, it’s such a normal feature to have and pretty low tech.

The 18 and 19 Husqvarna 401 does not have this feature

@@katsuya2742 I’m literally complaining about it in my latest video… you should check it out!

Weird? I’d like to know it too. Anyone can confirm? I don’t know I’m afraid.

They’re only available on the 401 and 701 I’m afraid. Are you on a 125 or 250?

The difference is substantial especially in speed bumps and bad city roads. I highly recommend this setting for commuting and back roads of low quality. In other words, London :)

Can you please elaborate mate?

Hmmm, can you please elaborate? Maybe a photo? It is a street bike but still, I’d like to understand a little bit more?

Suspension is not the same in all huskys, depends on your country, mine has that guard.

I still don’t understand the guard… obviously I’m too lazy to look it up but now I’ll have to :)

Somebody nicked that I’m afraid. The bike should come with a toolkit as standard. Please talk to the person who sold you the bike.

Not in London roads I’m afraid 😢

@@vanyer401 ok, that’s a reason 👍🏾
