Svartpilen 401 (2022 Model) - Two Year Review

2022 Svartpilen 401. Still working beautifully after two years. No mechanical problems. Adjustment to the clutch tension helped with the Easy Shift (quickshifter) and now the quickshifter isn't garbage.
I like the 2024 updates; looks like Husqvarna was paying attention to consumer feedback. But I still love my 2022 and it's been reliable for me. Great value and a ton of fun.
I've been running the K&N High Performance Air Filter, DNA Stage 2 High Performance Air Filter, LeoVince LV-10 Titanium exhaust, and FuelX Lite for 18 months. All working great. No issues.

It really is the ultimate city motorcycle, super fun blasting around neighborhoods and bouncing over obstacles like train tracks. Very tempting to go urban off-roading… I totally agree that the svart is tons of fun, even after a few years of riding. It seems perfect for your usage in the city, I bet an upgrade would be wasted at this point. Two bikes is always better than one 😮

Such a good-looking ride. I also think the 2022 is the sharpest version. There's a black 5 liter fuel canister that you can mount on the side of the bike to account for the tank. It comes with a bracket that you'll never notice, and you can just mount it in 5 seconds. A solid purchase. Still love these videos - keep 'em coming!

Where can I find that product? I own a 2023 but it should still fit.

@@pirapo82 There's lots of options on A**zon but I picked the black one with the hard straw ( as opposed to the crinkly flexible one ). Look for "Motorcycle Gas Can, UTV Gas Can with mount, 5L 1.3 Gallon Black Fuel Can". Theres a Husq*** forum with a Svartpilen & Vitpilen section... Go there and search for "detachable extra fuel tank 5 litre" seo you can see where I got the idea, how it looks, and see how the OG guy did it... HINT: You"ll want about 3 inches of 1" diameter pvc pipe to back the U-brackets.

A flat tire and a license plate that came loose do suck but the great part is that it was at least not the bikes fault and this can happen to any brand of motorcycle. To all who are interested in this bike I personally encourage you to get it. I just got the 2023 model and in the past 3 months I only put just over 1300 miles on it and it has been great for me as well. It gets quite a bit of complements. Gravity my friend, thank you for another great video and you are one of the few youtubers who helped me make my decision on the bike.

I would concur on all counts. Its really a great bike, I've had mine for a year and the only complaint I have is power. I've fully adjusted to the speed and I'm thinking of trading it in for the 701 or 801 or Yamaha r7

@dani3link Ай бұрын

Hey! I've also got one, mind you, in Europe, and the mods that I find myself wanting the most are a more comfortable seat and some kind of tank bag to carry just a water bottle, or to be able to leave a sweatshirt there while not riding. The grab bar at the tail I found especially useful to hang the helmet or to stretch and twist my back while riding.

I had a 2023 401 that I had for 2.5 months. The bike used the cheapest parts known to man. I broke 2 bolts (a led turn signal, and a headlight bolt) when hand tightening into place. The metal looked as porous as a cookie and just about as brittle. Like recycled aluminum that couldn’t be recycled anymore. I had other bolts that started to thread out and then the head just stripped off when the bolt met a slight resistance due to poor threading. The plastic Speedo cover always had terrible swirl marks that no amount of polishing could remove and the throttle felt jerky even with the fuel-x lite. I’ve never been so disappointed with a new purchase before. Didn’t feel safe riding it with how fragile the bolts were. Ended up selling it for a Suzuki 8s. Sorry, I just needed to vent and see if anyone else noticed the extremely poor workmanship on theirs. I never made fun of India or china products but I don’t think I’ll be buying anything made outside Japan again.

@ridingwithgravity401 Ай бұрын

So sorry you had a horrible experience with your Svart, but I’m glad you’ve got a different bike and hope that’s working out for you. Venting is welcome here. People need to learn from more than just my experience (which has obviously been good). Happy and safe riding out there! 🏍️

@mannyechaluce3814 7 күн бұрын

Its a single so it has the single characteristics with the throttle, it is the same on all singles, rides like a dirt bike :D. Suzuki 8 will be way smoother so it will definitely way smoother, like night and day :D

Would you consider buying a Windshield for the highway because I have been thinking about it.

@ridingwithgravity401 Ай бұрын

I have thought about it a lot. If you do a lot of highway riding, then I would get one, e.g., if this were my daily commuter and that commute included extended time on the highway. That's not my situation, and I'm pretty used to riding without a windscreen, so it's not a priority for me. There are some good Reddit posts about them. www.reddit.com/r/svartpilen401/comments/15mlkya/windshield_suggestions_do_they_make_for_a_more/ Some of the smaller ones will deflect a little wind off your chest but not necessarily your helmet. That's still good because you could tuck in and have a better chance of getting completely out of the wind.

My Puig windshield on 2023 Svartpilen 401 made a big difference at higher speeds. Ride safe.

@nixon110 Ай бұрын

@@DadAstra I bought an upgrade last night to the stage 2 air filter, the fuelx lite, and the exhaust LV-10. I really wanted to save money so I bought something that was a third of the price, I don't really like how it looks compared to the Puig windshield but I really wanted to save money. Also, I upgraded the front sprocket to 16 teeth about a month ago and am very pleased. This channel did help a lot with the upgradeto thank you so much.

I had a Husqvarna flyscreen fitted which acts as an aircon in summer, however makes almost no difference to wind/buffeting, but looks so damn cute.

Its a question that keeps getting repeated but, do you think this is a good first bike for an absolute beginner?

@ridingwithgravity401 Күн бұрын

I hear a lot of advice to start with a lower CC, used bike, to learn - something you don't mind dropping, etc. For many people, that's the way to go. Everyone is different. Just think about what will be the safest for you, fits your budget, and gives you confidence to start your motorcycle journey. That said, I was an absolute beginner when I got my Svartpilen 401. I wanted something I could grow into, and I felt comfortable starting with this much power and taking it slow. For me, I felt good coming out of the motorcycle class. This motorcycle is really lightweight and handles well, with an upright rider position ... things that make it a good first bike. It was a little tall, so I couldn't flat foot it, but I didn't let that stop me. Over two years later, still loving this motorcycle (although I am saving up to add another, with more CC, to my garage). Curious what other people think, so everyone feel free to chime in.

@@ridingwithgravity401 Awesome to hear what you thought about the bike! I was actually eyeing the Vitpilen and had a bit of experience riding MTBs and road bikes (not motorcycles) in pretty rough terrain or some nasty downhill road corners so I have a rough idea on how the balance feels between my legs. This and the Svart have been my dream bike for nearly 3 years now, and I'm about to own one this October so that's why I was a bit apprehensive to start off with it especially with the power 🤣

I didn’t put any on mine. I probably should have but I haven’t dropped it or had any accidents so it’s worked out fine without any protection.

How is the wind noise and which helmet are you wearing? I find the wind noise on my Svart loud and have a BIltwell, Gringo SV helmet. Thanks!

@ridingwithgravity401 Ай бұрын

I usually wear a Shoei GT Air II helmet. The wind noise isn’t too bad, but I always ride with Alpine MotoSafe earplugs so that’s mainly why I don’t really even think about it. Those are great earplugs; you can still hear other noises but it does great with wind noise and they are extremely comfortable (and easy to get in/out)

@scripteaze 13 күн бұрын

is the bike top heavy?

@ridingwithgravity401 13 күн бұрын

No TLDR; it’s only about 350 pounds wet, so it’s very lightweight. It feels very balanced from a weight distribution standpoint. The battery is up under the seat and you could swap it for a lighter weight battery…but not top heavy IMHO.

You love Your HUSQVARNA nearly? 🤔🙄😬, as much as I love mine !🤩🥰😍 But I don´t understand why your GORGEOUS Svartpilen Model 2022 , has the first (now old) turn signals with orange bulbs , and not the smaller , brighter LED Signals from 2020 till now ?!?🤔🤭 Or was it so offered in your Country ?!?🤔😬🙄😋 Kind Regards and safe ride wherever your 1a HUSQY (HUSKY) , will take You !

Thank you! Turn Signals: Yeah, we get those ugly turn signals because of regulations. I don't think anyone would care honestly if I swapped them out for the smaller indicators. I have thought about it for sure, and I would probably do that and a tail tidy at the same time. Will likely store up some projects for winter. Ride safe! 🏍️
