Finding the impossible to find in the oddest place (or how I got a ECU + Injector kit)

I have had a 2011 TE310 for a few month now and I've been pretty happy with it. I've been looking for theTXC ECU + 12 ports injector kit since I got the bike, even called Husqvarna USA to be told that they are out of stock and that they discontinued production.

So this week I am on vacation in our home in France (I am a French expa living in California) riding my WR450F in enduro heaven (near Brioude, Mende, site of passed and future ISDE's, WEC rounds, etc... where the gendarme wave at you when you pass them on an enduro bike). My WRF blew a seal on the fork, and not having the tools I took the fork to the local dealer Challenge One 43 in Le Puy en Velay, the closest dealer to where I am. These guys are the nicest, true "motards" and very helpful.

So we start talking bikes and since they are a Husqvarna dealer, I tell them that I have a 2011 TE310 back in the States and that I love it. We talk parts availability (they haven't seen any problems yet) and I tell them I've been looking for the ECU / Injector kit and that Husqvarna USA were out, etc... etc... One of the guys listening to the conversation from teh back of the counter raises his head and says: "Oh yeah, we have one in stock, they work pretty well"....

Low and behold it was the real thing:



It was pricey (480 Euros - US$530) but what the helll... So next week when I am back in sunny California, wrench time!
Finally here are a few photos of the riding around here.
Cheers.

"It's a little muddy here, but no problem: 2nd gear, left the front wheel and whatever you do, keep it WFO".... YEAH



"It's a little deep here, but if you stay on the right side you should be ok"....
