    Please see and advise......I can see the bracing is starting to wear through..can I maybe sleeve the bend of hose with a conduit or small tube over it for protection?


    I'm sure this is common. image.jpg image.jpg

    Loosen the banjo bolt slightly, rotate the hose so it doesn't touch the case, and re-tighten the banjo bolt.

    This seems to be a Husky standard feature. Italians...

    It can also wear to the case so do as Kyle mentions above, it is also free and easy !

    I have some split plastic conduit that I'll try ..see how it looks and post up.

    I'll look for some rubber at work too

    Also keep an eye on the line up from the master as the chain slap will eventually eat it.

    i just used zipties to pull the loop back in addition to loosening up the master cylinder banjo and adjusting the loop position. just need to play with the loop. been the same since my 06 te450,txc450,te310,txc310r.they all rubbed the engine block while the swingarm moved
    ..not the best setup just one of those red husky quirks,

    I think you may be refering to the 2 strokes the chain is on the opposite side on ADSTE 2010 TE450, but good info for the 2 stroke guys .

    additional I also used split convoluted tubing on my TXC450 with zip ties over it for more chafe resistance, the kind you can buy in the auto parts store (but mine was a mil-spec type). I will try to find some fotos.

    After having a look at mine in preparation for tomorrow's ride, I am very disappointed.
    Mine does not seem to have this feature as standard, and there seems no way to modify it to wear through, even with the rear wheel as far forward as possible.
    Should I take the bike back and ask for a refund??
    Maybe it's an "extra" that you guys get in the 'States as a little Italian bonus - and the Italians have been short-changing us Brits (let's not get into politics!)

    Sorry to hear you didn't get this feature.........you could always ask for a retrofit

    Cheers. Enjoy your ride

    We got it as part of the deal over here so it might be so. In fact they were so thorough that it nearly rubbed through my case.
