Alright i got an update. It got fixed. Turned out that the fuel pump was f*cked. They cant say what it was exactly but the fuel pump had a construction error. Shortly explained: Due to the pump malfunctioning the bike wasnt able to compesate the air in the tank properly. That led to a stronger and stronger becoming vacuum inside the tank. And…[Read more]

Yes of course, silly mistake. I meant fuses yes. Its always a 15 and it happens everytime when you demand the slightest amount of power. We figured it was a short somewhere too but havent had a chance to look into what goes through that specific fuse. The bikes in the shop now and i got 2 year warranty, i picked the bike up less than a month ago…[Read more]

My bike just died. Just like that. Today i was on my first MTF course or motorcycle security riding course, whatever you want to call it. The usual stuff, braking, tight turns, indicating and regular things like that. So my instructor told my acelerate up to fifty and make an emergency stop. I start acelerating, 1st gear all good, 2nd gear *dead*.…[Read more]

Hello everyone
I quite recently got my Vitpilen 401. Rode it for a bit, its currently got about 650km on the odometer. Since day one when i picked it up, i started realizing that the fuel level gauge is just straight up lying, or broken. When i move the bike around i can hear the sensor inside the tank move around and hit the edges so its not…[Read more]

Husqy_401 replied to the topic Engine cutting out in the forum Vitpilen 401 Technical Forum 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Only happened once to me. It’s at about 650km now. Rolling to a stop (red light), downshifting, downshifting, and at about 20 kmh i put it in neutral to just coast what little distance i had left. As soon as it dropped to about 10kmh *klink* shutdown. Turned the bike back on no problems, prob. took about a second longer than usual. But no…[Read more]

A fix? Have a bottle of water handy and pour it over the engine every now and then to prevent it from kicking in 😛
But yeah, mine is just at 250km and its the same. After a longer ride when you stop for a little break it just kicks in and catches all the attention. I dont mind it tho.

Honestly don’t know. My dealer confirmed that the 401’s are being imported from India for the 2020+ model but he hasn’t mentioned the 701’s.

Mine is at about 250km now and the Husqy/KTM/BMW dealer i got it from said the same thing. When i asked him “What about the break in period?” he said: “Generally THEY say max 7k rpm and not more than about 2/3 or 80% of throttle but honestly, if you want to hear it from me and the mechanics, just make sure its warmed up, everthing else should be…[Read more]

It’s also worth mentioning that the pre 2020 Vitpilen was built in Austria… the new ones are being made in India by Bajaj.
