    Walt, I can help you with that. My main fear is all your elevation changes?

    That is the beauty of the Lectron. Just slight turn on the screw.

    But we can try it and see what happens?

    I'm also interested in maybe making my own trick cone pipe?

    I should be able to go off the fatty, etc....

    I have some cool ideas tho that would make it bad arse, that I am itching to put to use.

    They take me couple hours to hand draw out all the templates for cuts. 4 hours to fabricate and tack weld. 8 hours to tig up.

    I'm taking a break from the 6 vintage Husky's I'm building this winter. My goal is to trick this bad girl out.

    More testing and riding:

    I have dropped to a 25 pilot with my rich, fast taper needle. This tells me that on stock jetting, Make sure you have some smaller pilots on hand from stock.

    Powervalve now: 13mm before push in preload/tightening, then 1/4 turn plus another 1/8 turn clockwise.
    This powervalve really touchy. 1/8 turn can be huge difference on where you want your power.

    Walt: I might go up on rear spring since suspension is breaking in. I think a 44 is going to be perfect.
    The 42 is pushing with my weight.

    So far the front is okay and really responds well to the clickers.

    Don't think the suspension guys are gonna be happy that Xplor 48 are this good.

    Here is a rear spring rate chart that looks accurate:

    125/150 is the bottom line on chart.

    Hmmm...says I need a 4.0 spring, but RaceTech recommends a 5.2. Currently have 5.0 and static sag is good with @ 8mm preload. :cheers:

    Yeah can't use this on older Husky's. This is for new ones. 2016/2017.
    Maybe the linkage rate is different. Mine now is 4.2 and works but I'm pushing closer to 4.4 - 4.5
    On my past Italian ones, I was way up on spring size too.

    I think I had a 4.6 spring from old Sachs shock. Sure enough, same length, thickness, ID, so painted it up in blue to white to yellow transition. But spring gets me right to rider sag, static and on stand.

    Back end feels better and still like the forks.

    That's A ok.

    I thought same thing when I saw the marking on the stock spring.

    Going to get some more riding in today to tweek everything.

    Rear spring is right on money.
    Still like stock plush springs up front.
    Might go just titch more on pilot jet but suppose to drop temps.
    Me and this bike just jells! So far it is my favorite out of all these years !!

    Was kinda hoping that lights, bells, etc.... Would go off when went into Halls! Just like in Vegas when you hit the big jack pot!
    Thought Jay and Raymond just give me the bike on behalf of Husqvarna for all the Husky's/parts I've bought since 1980.

    So far the only issue that is annoying on the bike is shifting under power.

    It does not shift unless you let off gas. Was hoping it was a tranny break in or oil issue.

    I've tried a couple different oils that meet the Jaso Ma specs.

    I sure don't want to get an oil thread started.

    Today I tried Mobil 1 Racing 4T. It solved my shifting issues and no clutch slippage at all. So it was just an oil issue.

    One thing I disagree with on the Race Tech spring chart is that if I look up my height and weight the recommended spring is stiffer if I say I'm an A rider compared to a B rider. I recently got my son's YZ450 re-valved and because of his height (6'8") the rear shock spring the guy recommended was a 6.4 which according to Race Tech was for a 240 lb rider but my son is only 210 lbs. I looked my recommended spring and Race Tech says 6.4 if I'm a 210 lb A rider and 6.0 if I'm a B rider. My son's bike sprung 6.4 and valved for a 6'8" B guy is the best suspension I've ever ridden. I would think that the valving is what should change not the spring. From now on I will use their A rider chart and enter my true height and weight 6'6" and 210 lbs.
