Svartpilen 401 Grab Rail | Fitment & Thoughts

[@CBlyat]

(Vitpilen 401 2023 - Upgrading from a CBR 250 2012) Thanks bro. My CBR has some grab bars that i can try to switch. I put 25k miles on that litle guy, and this bike feels even lighter. Theres a hurricane thing here in FL, so it was pouring on my way back from the dealership. Currently sitting at 7 miles total

Congrats on the upgrade, that's some decent mileage on the 250! It's amazing how light these little 401s feel! Hope the weather improves for you soon.

I like the look of the handle, and it adds functionality

[@javiervar494]

I've got it and it's useful to move the motorbike with both hands in statics.

[@jimkeller59]

Mine came on the bike, I like it!

[@wasaluki2292]

Another good video Kris... agree with all your functionality points. You can however, keep the badges on the seat and have the grab rail.

[@MotoJournoKris]

Oh nice, I'll have to test that out!

[@australianwi-fi]

Personally, I actually prefer the look of the bike with the handle. I think it kind of completes the look or something

[@MotoJournoKris]

That's what I thought too!

[@Win7ermu7e]

Agreed, looks like a little spoiler lol. Also perfect location to grab the back of the bike.

[@RC-lc9vc]

Which bolts were needed to fix this to the bike? M8x16mm ?

[@MotoJournoKris]

Yep, that's what I used.

[@Astrojamus]

do you have to uninstall lights to install grabrail

[@MotoJournoKris]

Nah, it just bolts on under the seat.

[@truckacabrarex9831]

So it comes with the bike ? Because I remember seeing them with them on but the website doesn’t show it installed.

[@MotoJournoKris]

Yep, mine came with the bike, also not fitted. I've seen a few people fro other countries mention they didn't get one when they bought theirs however.

[@Genesis-revelation70]

Would love a video on luggage

[@MotoJournoKris]

It's on the list! Just trying to figure out what to try.

Does this bike run on tubeless tyres, Kris? I've just bought a pristine 4,200 km Yamaha Scrambler 950. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact it runs on tubed tyres. I'm going to have to do something about this. Your 401 looks brilliant. I still have my 390 and I'll keep it.

[@MotoJournoKris]

Still has tubes, but the tyres can be run either way, which confused me when I saw one a few years ago. Not needing them would be nice though, I like the simplicity of the patch kits for tubeless tyres!
