    So I just got my first husky, which also happens to be my first dirtbike. Problem is I'm not exactly sure what it is and what to get it titled as. Motor number is 0952 1079, which I think would make it a '85 510, however my bike has dual rear shocks, where as i believ they wenter to a single in '85. Frame number is wo 18805. 20151105_150006.jpg 20151105_145955.jpg

    Nice find. 510 84-85 are twinshocks. 510 mono must be end of 85 , and 86 year model (I think).
    Anyway it is a 510 twinshock whatever the year it is !

    better get familiar with the motor, and go through it well. these are not tolerant of "lack of knowledge"..great bike overall but can be hard on a first timer. the two piece valves like to come apart. bike looks to be in great shape tho!

    Sounds like the $500 price tag wasn't too bad! :-)

    mate that is a is a huge win if its a good engine. the 85 had the good valves and ignition and didn't blow the carb off every second start. its in good std condition, very rare. I have one as well. there is a thread on here where the collective gave me lots of good advice regarding the bike, I cant get the link to work. find it if you can. cheers
