I just got the 2023 Vitpilen 401. The dealer told me when I come in for my 500m service, they have to UNLOCK the quick shift feature. It only has 6 miles on ot so far, since it was raining for my first ride home, there is a Hurricane type thing in FL right now. But my commute is 50+ minutes each way, I put 23k miles on my CBR 250 in under 18 months. The compression on this engine is very different, there is effectively no coasting. When you let off the throttle, it immediately starts to engine break. BTW, what is with these god-aweful indicators? Halogen for real?1 They're going to be the first thing to go.
A very important service to point out is the " Check Valve and Shim if Needed " it is NOT the first service, it is NOT the srcond service,.. it IS the THIRD service! Alot of people claim it IS second service. No Longer the case, they extended it to the THIRD SERVICE
2022 and just hit 621 miles exactly as I pulled in to my garage. I did get the service warning lights but still cannot access the shift lights. I guess I’ll try again at 622 🤷♂️
Parking lots is where a lot of accidents happen. If you are going forward at slow speeds in the parking lot and need to stop, use the rear brake (keeps it upright). As they say in MSF courses, if you press the front brake and the handlebars are turned it will cause the bike to fall to the side that you are turned.
Oh and one more thing, i believe you can Actually put the bike in the " Super Moto " mode now as well. I believe it just Disables ABS to the REAR Wheel
I have 2021 svartpilen, hit 621 today. Flashing red light I wasn't expecting then all the sudden I heard a clunk in my engine like very obviously a weird metal on metal noise like it was stuck between gears or something then I shifted and the light turned off I thought something was wrong. But anyways I hate the quickshifter, mine clunks into every gear. Today it would go into neutral when I was downshifting from 2 to 1 and it got lost and acted funny a few times I'm disappointed. My yamaha r3 did this onetime too but never had these issues with honda or kawasaki. I think they took the technology too far on this bike I'm scared its going to break everytime I ride lol
Hi thanks for the video I wasn't aware that you could alter the shift light sensor (I guess need to read my manual) with regard to the 621-mile service point you are correct nothing happens to the performance of the bike, however, if you exceed this limit by say 200/250miles before you get the service completed then you may find that the manufacturer will challenge any potential warranty claim in the future and refuse the claim as you did not get the bike service in accordance with the manufactures instruction.
