Hi guys, I’m new here.
I recently had a minor accident on my 2019 Vitpilen 701 and I need to replace my headlight now. I found a 2021 Svartpilen headlight on the internet and I was wondering if it will fit?
The part number is different – #28514001000 for my Vitpilen and #28114001000 for the Svartpilen, but up to 2020 model, it had the same…[Read more]

Hi,
Yes the fluid pumps slowly through the bleeding tool. I thought I was good to go, but there is still no positive resistance in the pedal. I can push it all the way to the bottom. Thanks for the reply.

Are you getting any fluid out at this point when you open the bleeder with the pedal pressed down?

Yes, I had a similar issue. I fixed it by grinding some of the front, bottom bracket back from where it was making contact with the pipe. In the end, it was a small, half-circle about 2cm in diameter that went in about 5mm or so on the bracket. It was making contact on the left side, where the decat (Arrow) was just exiting the downpipe.
Try to…[Read more]

Confirmed! There is no need to take off the fairings to remove the tank. However I would recommend to take off the fit plate ( the one that has the seat knob) to make it easier.

I installed the Bad Winners Performance Kit (https://www.badwinners.com/en-us/products/diy-701-vitpilen-performance-kit) on my Vitpilen 701 a few weeks ago and while I’m really happy with the kit overall, I’ve noticed that the Bellypanel Bracket makes contact with the Decat Pipe, resulting in a really annoying rattle.
I’ve tried loosening all the…[Read more]

Hi,
My rear brake pedal (vitpilen 2020) gradually became spongier until it no longer had any real pressure behind it. I tried to bleed the brake line, introduced a lot of air by mistake (my first time bleeding)…, refilled the reservoir and pumped the pedal and refilled for a long time. Still no pressure from the pedal. Should I just keep on…[Read more]

I agree with blue lizard, try relaxing and adjusting your riding position so you are more comfortable and not tense.
I recommend adding handle aids to the levers; I learned about those when cycling long distances and they make a big difference, are big help and are rather inexpensive. They are very easy to install and if you don’t like them you…[Read more]

Been a while since I’ve posted on this but I’ve been tinkering with my bike. I adjusted the front wheel as per the instructions in an earlier post and it worked out very well indeed.
Got me thinking about the rear wheel and the whole leaning to the right thing which was happening on my bike. So I looked at the bike from the rear and clear as day…[Read more]

Blue Lizard replied to the topic Terrible arm pain on Svartpilen. Need new bars. Please help! in the forum Vitpilen 401 Parts & Accessories 6 days, 1 hour ago
If you buy a kind of caféracer bike like the Vitpilens, you know the front of the bike is low and therefore the riding position is more racing than other naked bikes. That’s what makes these bikes look damn good. Your complains might be the result of trying to sit more upright, which results in stretching your arms and having to bend your wr…[Read more]
