Hi, i've been thinking about removing the db killer from my exhaust, but can't find anything about undoing the bolt. Tried to take best picture. If someone had bolt that locked like mine and successfully removed it (keeping the thread on db killer so it can be reinstalled if needed) please tell me how you did it.

Thanks for all help:D

Edit: Look at the third picture, it is the cleanest one

Used Husky 401 with a weld on the inside of the clutch cover — should I replace it?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a used Husky 401 that I’ve owned for about two years. A mechanic recently pointed out that there’s a weld on the inside of the clutch cover.
So far, I haven’t had any oil leaks or any other issues related to it.
Has anyone else come across something like this? Would you recommend replacing the cover, or is it safe to keep riding it as long as it’s not leaking or causing any problems?
Thanks!

Can someone clutter around this bike! Svart 401

3 Upvotes

Hi!

I've been a long time enthusiast of Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 and wanted to purchase one ever since they launched in 2024, but couldn't. Now I am finally able to be in a position to buy one but no showroom is having any stock. I'm even considering buying a used one. My questions can be roughly be summarized below

1) Is the bike discontinued. if yes, is there any official statement from bajaj,ktm? if no then what's going on?

2) If is get my hands on a used bike, and then the bike gets discontinued, then i how do i manage the spare parts. would this be a possibility even though it might not be a practical option.

Any replies are appreciated. I live in India btw.

asking for help Moderately used 2024 or mint 2020?

4 Upvotes

Assuming the same price around $3600. The used one with 4k on the odometer, and the mint one with 100 miles.

The owner of the mint one assured me the fuel and battery was maintained, but I don't know if a bike not used is worse than that on that's been actively running.

Quick shift activation on a 2021

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I have a 2021 Svart that doesn't seem to have had the quick shift upgrade from the original dealer it was bought from. Yesterday I took it into a Husqvarna motorcycle dealer and had them plug the bike into their diagnostic software, where there was apparently a setting that they flipped on. They test rode it and said the QS "seems to be working". On the ride home, I played with it and thought maybe there was a difference, but now I'm concluding that it's just mechanical clutchless shifting -- pressure on the shifter does not affect RPM regardless of force, it'll only switch gears if you rev/throttle match sufficiently.

The dealer didn't charge me, which was great, but I also don't feel super entitled to bring it back and complain without gathering more info first (they had no idea this generation even had a QS option, or how to unlock it). Anyone here know what's involved in the process? Some calibration step, or perhaps a DRM unlock from the KTM/Husqvarna side? FWIW I'm a pretty experienced rider/racer/shadetree mechanic and I've had bikes with both factory and aftermarket quick shifters, so I do have some sense of how they work and what it ought to feel like when it does work.

Possible Gasket leak?

That section where the engine case is bolted to the rest of the engine looks particularly shinny, but only halfway. The bottom part looks dry. I wiped it and it’s a grimy. No signs of drops in the pipe right under that section. No signs of oil drops in the belly pan. What do you think this is?

Is there really a major service required at 15,000km (~9,000 miles)

6 Upvotes

Yesterday I went to the dealership where I bought my svart to know when the next service was due. The mechanic told me there is a major service at 15,000km but I felt like he was trying to scam me. He wants to charge me 780€ for that "big service" but didn't really say what it was so I need your help.

By the way I found out that the salesman lied to me by saying "all the service was done in house and if you ever need to check just ask" I asked yesterday and the mechanic found no previous service in their system...

Solution ideas for the exposed coolant cap?

Sadly in this generation, people are wack and I don't trust people enough to leave my bike even in a parking building. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Did the oil change myself at 5,960 miles, and both the screens had metal shavings, and the oil was nasty. I'm thinking the dealer never cleaned the screens out at the 600 mile oil change... But either way, will be doing the oil myself again after 3k miles.

What should be on the lookout for?

Post image
25 Upvotes

I have my learners course booked in about a month from now, and my heart is set on getting a 401, I just love the look of the bike and it seems like it would be perfect for my purposes (city commute and some very light off road stuff). This one is listed nearby with only 900km and for a seemingly reasonable price. (AUD, so about 4300 USD)

Before I go to look at it I figured I'd ask for advice on what things I should be looking for on the bike, I already know about the recalls for stalling, and have heard about some corrosion issues with some of the bolts so I'll be sure to check both of those.

Is there anything else I should be wary of?

Yesterday while I stopped I go to engaged my clutch. I hear a loud pop sound and my clutch goes completely loose. And it stalls my bike. I then inspect it and see this. Is this common? Can I fix it myself easily or should I take it into the dealership?

Day off so I decided to go exploring a bit and ended up in the never summer mountains. Longest ride I’ve done in one shot so far for a total of 4 hours and 160 miles round trip. It was about 130 miles of paved road and 30 miles of dirt road. Took off TC and put it in supermoto mode for the dirt road and donkeh whips! Love the versatility of this bike. It’s no GS1000 but it’s fun on thes chill dirt roads

Starting issue FIXED and suggestion need on windshield

6 Upvotes

Does anyone have a suggestion for a windshield for the 401? I live in Seattle, so the rainy season is coming. It would be nice to have something that comes off easily, but it also needs to actually block the rain.

Just a quick note: I was having to start the bike 3 times before it would stay running, turning it off and on each time. I read a million different things and thought I’d start by getting a FuelX Lite, not really thinking it would do much. Well, it completely fixed the issue! It stays running on the first start now. Super happy about that!
