VITPILEN/SVARTPILEN 401 Extreme Weight Reduction (SUB 300 LBS WET): Drop 40 LBS

- In this video we turn the 2022 Vitpilen 401 back to stock. While removing all the aftermarket parts, I weigh each stock part compared to the aftermarket counterpart. In the end I show you how to drop 40 lbs from a Husqvarna Vitpilen/Svartpilen 401 without significantly sacrificing ride-ability and live-ability. If Husqvarna's claims are accurate with these bikes being 340 lbs wet, that would mean with these modifications you can easily get the weight under 300 lbs wet.

How much do you want for it, and where are you located?
I’m located in Northern California. I would let it go for $4300. Has 5000 miles, 100% immaculate.

That’s the problem, the 2023s are $4,000 brand new near me right now.
If it was $4,500 with the mods, I could see it, but I would still have to get it shipped across the country🤷🏾♂️
@TheDougSpot that’s without fees. You are going to pay a couple thousand on top with the fees/taxes. Plus have to then fix all the stuff that’s wrong with these from the factory. This one, all that stuff has been fixed. Shipping across country doesn’t determine value either…
I would buy it too if it was $4500 with $2200 worth of modifications + install. 😂😂😂.

I bought my 2023 Svart two weeks ago $5,000 out the door. Taxes, fees, tag, title, all in.
Same dealership has two 2023 vits for the same price.
So one would assume a used one that was almost two years old with 5,000 miles would have much more than a $200 discount.
You don’t understand the market, and that’s why it hasn’t sold.
You won’t get more than $3,500 from anyone, and at that price, you’re better off keeping it🤷🏾♂️
If you bought your svart two weeks ago then why did you ask what I wanted for this one and ask for the location? In your second comment you also allude that you would have to ship it across the country if you purchased it. So which is it? Weird statement to make if you already have one.
Also not sure where you are getting a $200 discount from? If you really got yours for $5000 out the door (doubt it), then $5000-4300 is not $200. 😂😂😂. Anybody that has ever purchased a new bike before knows you have freight, prep, sales tax, license fees, document fees, and other miscellaneous fees that either come from the government or the dealer itself. All that is going to be way more than an additional $1000.
I might not understand the market, but at least I know math. Also, already explained why it didn’t sell in the beginning of the video. Wouldn’t expect you to comprehend that though. Enjoy your imaginary Svart. 😂😂😂.
I’m getting there! I like the Whiskey Pilen, but honestly your Vit was the best “stock” looking Vit out there. Shame you had to take it apart to sell, but I reap the benefit 😂
Haha! I enjoyed this Vitpilen very much but it’s time for a new project. Glad this bike can live on through your bike. As always, thank you for watching!
I would have straight up bought it from you if i had the money 😭 one day I will get this bike
Yup! You will man, just keep on saving up and soon you’ll have one in your garage/driveway. 👊🏽.
I have one but what is the cost of loosing 20kg? i mean a super light weight battery is not cheap and deleting the CATs is illegal where i live. they are a cheap and cheerful bike in the first place and lets face it most guys could just loose a few kg's from their gut and get a decent result.
Ok… and? An antigravity battery is around $130 depending on which size you need for your bike. If $130 is too much to spend on your bike, then modifying a motorcycle is probably not for you.
@@ridewithKY easy up, everyone is entitled to opinion, that is the reason you put up videos. it's not just the battery, that was one thing of a long list of mods i'm questioning. i have the fuel-x, the slip on and various other bits but not carbon fibre or lighter discs and really why spend money on a lighter brake reservoir cap. it's a cheap bike made in India not really worth spending loads on. if you want the bells and whistles spend money on a better bike to start with. Aliexpress actually sell some decent stuff if you look carefully. example: Mid-pipe resonator delete for 66NZD whereas the Competition werks one is 350NZD for exactly the same thing.
@bryangrimshaw5607 you pointed out a specific item and I called it out. So you have a fuel x and a slip on so I guess $130 isn’t too much to spend on a bike? But then again you just suggested buying parts from Aliexpress so that’s probably all I need to know. 😂.
Collecting opinions is also not the reason why I post videos. 😂.
@@ridewithKY that is the kind of ignorance i'd expect. you do know that 90% of everything sold in the US is made in China. don't dis it - it makes perfect sense. made in the USA doesn't make it better nor does a well known named brand. just look at Harleys.
@bryangrimshaw5607 I have no idea what your statement has to do with this conversation… We aren’t talking about household items and we aren’t talking about Harley’s… Nobody mentioned anything about items made in the USA being better either. You have no idea what you are talking about so you just resort to a straw man argument. You originally alluded to a lightweight battery being expensive which I’ve already pointed out is not really an expensive item when compared to other motorcycle parts. What can you really buy for a motorcycle that’s $130? Not much. But then again you buy your motorcycle parts off of Aliexpress.
Look forward to your future projects! How do you find the bike at higher speeds? I’ve been trying to dial in a bit more highway speed stability.
Appreciate it man! A lot more projects coming down the pipeline.
I actually find this bike pretty stable at high speed. Of course the wind buffering sucks because of the lack of fairings, but other than that I found it pretty stable at speed. What are you experiencing with yours?
Where did you get the tyga rear sets
Formula390.
Where can i purchase that exhuast?
That exhaust I actually made myself.
Hi, I enjoyed your video! btw do you know what size the exhaust gaskets are?
Hey man, appreciate that. I don’t unfortunately, I just picked them up from my local dealer. Sorry I couldn’t be more help on that one.
Great video!! How much would you be selling the euro led front and back turn signals with the cable connections. I want to upgrade mine. Thanks in advance
Thanks so much for watching! Unfortunately the LED’s have already been sold. Here’s a link to the Reddit for sale as of the items left: www.reddit.com/r/svartpilen401/s/ykZto1WcLS

Unfortunately the header and the carbon parts are already sold. Thank you for your time.
How much for the slip on muffler?
I would sell that muffler delete for $45. Thank you.
@@ridewithKY Done, let’s do it.
