    my assessment on the new Husky 501...

    Compared to my TE510 the 501 has more acceleration and more potency above 80 mph. I did not have a problem pulling
    away from the old KTM 525 or early model 690 with my TE510 as a reference.

    I'm wondering if many have not had the Euro map loaded on their 501, thus the different perspective of performance.


    My 501 quickly deprecated the factory aluminum 50 tooth rear sprocket especially with some sandy and muddy rides. I now run a 14/48 for general ride conditions, 15/48 for more high speed (constantly above 60 mph) rides and a 13/48 for single track dominated conditions.

    IMO, I'm very impressed with the new 501.
