    Finally got out to the desert yesterday. 20+ years not riding in the dirt I think I have zero skills left. Also my first ride with full boots on. Okay, I give up. Is everyone shifting with the edge of their foot or have tiny feet?

    Why?
    A bit off-topic , but I´m curious on what mile-range do you get with the IMS-tank? Is it a 3,4 or 3,9 gallons?

    Because I´ve started thinking trading my TE449 to a WR300, mainly for the better hard enduro
    handling. But still wanna go for some offroad riding...

    I have the same problem ,its a pain in the arse to change gears with size 13 boots ! the shift lever needs to sit higher and have a longer tip.

    I ran an AMA national hare scramble which is 3 hours of contstant revving and stuff. Still had a good bit of fuel left. I am actually in the process of swapping with somebody for a stock 2.5 gallon tank because for racing, the IMS tank is unecessary. I think you could do a nice long ride with the IMS tank. The WR is a bit tall so if and when you sort out the suspension, I highly recommend you lower it. Its very easy and cheap to have a competent tuner lower the shock by adding some Ohlins spacers to shorten the stroke. The WR300 motor is so amazing in the woods and rocks. I would choose that every time over the TE for anything difficult.

    Huskynoobee: Why can't your ECU be reflashed? Is it a Calif thing?
    BTW: I live right up the street from you in Stevenson Ranch. Im currently riding a BMW F650 for off-road and a Victory XCT for touring. I am seriously looking to get rid of the BMW, (too heavy) and get a Husky early next year. Looking at the 449 or 511 or maybe the new FE501.

    Mine seems to be one of the early ones that came as leftovers from BMW. The Husky tool can't communicate with it to change the map. I think it may be why my bike runs a little better than some as I could have a slightly different map than those that Husky loaded into the MY '11 ECUs.

    I would just like to comment AGAIN that the map 3 is awesome and the Zip Ty breather is working great.
    My bike did not have a single flame out, burble, stall, flat spot, etc while riding the other day. Rode singletrack, did some hill climbs, rode wheelies, practiced pivot wheelies, rode grass track etc etc.
