    Out on the trail last Sunday, I glanced down and found to my surprise that I was going at 788mph. Is this a record for the TE450? :eek:

    Sadly I suspect there may be a slight problem with the display as when I stopped it went to 709mph, then later the trip started reading "PFEC" (which I believe is "FAIL" in Swahili). I'm guessing that something somewhere didn't like the wet, muddy conditions, which is sad as I was loving them. Later the fan was on all the time and the bike was difficult to start so as well as the display maybe the recently replaced temp sensor is dying again, or the ECU itself. Still, it got me back home as it seemed to be running ok once I could get it started. :thumbsup:

    So my poor little Husky will be off to Husky Sport for some TLC shortly. :cry:

    Do you think this was just its way of asking to have the next service a bit early, and perhaps a nice little titanium exhaust fitted? :thinking:

    I might think about that afterwards, but I might as well let them fix the original one under warranty first so everything's back to normal.

    I've only looked briefly at the Vector once at a motorcycle show - I know there's a Husky-specific version but does it use the existing pickups on the bike to detect speed, temperature etc, or do you have to attach new ones just for the Vector to use? And can it be set to your current mileage so the odo reads correctly or does it always start from zero when you fit the Vector? (I'm easily confused so I'd like to see the correct reading to avoid doing math in my head if possible! :thinking:)

    Good news - apparently the Husky's so well designed that it can do almost 800mph without one! :D

    I believe my temp sensor just died as well.

    Actually, I think that it means something else as in "what the PFEC is going on here?":lol:

    :lol::lol:

    After a few days in the warm and dry workshop at Husky Sport apparently it's now reading normally again, so I guess it's dried out and is PerFECtly happy (it's obviously going to need better waterproofing though). The starting problem was a failed water temperature sensor again, so that's been replaced for the second time. The service is done & the new titanium exhaust and ECU are fitted so I'll be collecting it tomorrow morning then ripping up the dirt at the weekend. Yayyy! :thumbsup:
