Macloven replied to the topic RTAMO Titanium Exhaust Header and Cat Delete in the forum Vitpilen 401 Parts & Accessories 1 year, 1 month ago
I bought this setup and never installed. Want to run cat and think it’s a waste to run header without ti cat eliminator. Still in wrapper from rtamo, anyone interested?

Macloven replied to the topic General Braking Question and ABS in the forum Vitpilen 401 General Discussion 2 years, 12 months ago
I took a class and was able to try full speed front braking in a safe lot. Try as I could, the abs prevented a lockup. It was predictable and a very powerful stop. The rear did start to lift a tiny bit but no way going over the bars.

Macloven replied to the topic Vitpilen passenger — is it even possible? Any photos or thoughts? in the forum Vitpilen 401 General Discussion 3 years ago
I’m 5’5” 150 and wife 5’6 120. No problem cruising around but more than an hour and things start going numb. With the lower bars on the vit I’d imagine less comfort. It’s fun for a quick blast to the coast but wouldn’t do long distance.

Sounds like battery to me. Give it a charge and see if solved. Had a bad battery on my old Grom and caused all sorts of issues solved with a $50 battery replacement.

mine does it too. think it has to do with the cut out of the rotor. I’ve had mountain bikes do similar things and really think it’s nothing.

Macloven replied to the topic Question about the catalytic converter on the Svartpilen 401 in the forum Svartpilen 401 Technical Forum 3 years, 5 months ago
interesting. assumed the big black box was the cat converter, not a muffler. I’ve got the cat eliminator sitting in the box and haven’t looked at fitment yet but assumed it just replaced the black box, not what the diagram refers to as the cat converter cpl. btw, anyone know what cpl stands for?
update, just opened box and it looks to replace…[Read more]

I searched connector sites on the web for hours and couldn’t find it. Cycle gear has them but cost about what you found.

Macloven replied to the topic longest trip so far? in the forum Svartpilen 401 General Discussion 3 years, 6 months ago
50 miles with my wife on the back. Lots of fun but hurt like hell after. Only 5’5” but it’s crowded with two and legs were pretty cramped up.

Haven’t had mine apart yet to compare but guessing all the holes in the back were added. Looks like from the factory. Not sure what’s being done to the lid but sure it’ll make sense once apart.

VP-1,
this is fantastic stuff! I have my mid-pipe ordered, coober waiting to be installed, and will do whatever you come up with on the airbox. Crossing fingers that coober finds their ecu can handle these pieces as it stands. Or maybe they can update the existing box if need be.
Thank you!
Mark

There is a thread here somewhere that felt the coober richened things up and smoothed out power delivery quite well.

Look forward to seeing your work on the air boxes and appreciate your input. Not a lot of data for this bike and great to see some real world testing.

Some details on the air box mods would be great. Don’t want to start punching random holes in the box.

Great research on the pipes. Can u be specific on the mid pipe? Is that the cat delete or something different?
