Hi everyone. I'm new to the form the the Husqvarna world. I've always rode the Jap stuff. So I've been doing lots of reading and hope I bought the right bike. I bought it with 1200 kms on it. My biggest fear is the bike running to lean. It has a power commander 5 and the auto tune. Can delete for fuel system. And the air box is uncorked. I am just wondering with the power commander an auto tune do I have much to worry about when cutting some big holes in the airbox cover. I've read with more air you need more fuel. With the auto tune do its job? Also I've read about the kick stand fix's. Just can't find the problem before fixing it? What am I looking for? Any advice on break in period?
-Congrats! You'll like it. -Auto tune should do it's job -1200km, it's broken in -Don't get too carried away on the airbox, there's a point of diminishing returns -Do something about the exhaust before worrying too much about the airbox -If your kick stand folds itself up when you stand the bike up, grind the nub off the head of the stand bolt -IM Jtemple on here for the shop manual. I've got it, but it's a large file.
Congrats pal!! I have to echo what rdtcu says here exhaust is the biggest issue, airbox is a very small upgrade and you have the biggest upgrades already pc5 and autotune.. just ride that bike and enjoy it!!
JT's Husky manuals. https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B87JGKEoBQdza3R1N19wVV92YWM/edit?pli=1 Lots of info here. http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/documented-630-part-failures-known-weak-areas.30149/#post-274874 Regarding your PCV setting, you can put Dynojet's software in your laptop and download the map that Autotune has currently created for the bike. If you open up the airbox, you would expect the Autotune to then create a slightly richer map. Save the original map for comparison. It would also be interesting to compare your Autotune map to Dynojet's stock map for our bikes... Enjoy the new bike. (where are you located?) .
Thanks for the info everyone. I am from Calgary, Alberta. I have spent hours on this site reading. Thanks again!
Hey macmillj, ah used to live in Airdrie, spent a lot of time in Cow Town... Just got an SMR and cant wait for some better weather to arrive... I dont get the sidestand mod either, its supossed to flick up when you take the weight of the bike off it, am I missing something? I know its odd at first but you either like it or dont... Or is there something else thats an issue ??? Oh and helo all, proper introduction to follow in the proper place... Cheers...
The mod is to get rid of that feature, as plenty of people have dropped their bike because of it, and I don't want to have to put it back down every single time I need to shift it a bit in the shop. I also don't want to have to be on the left side of the bike to drain the oil so that I can put the stand back down after standing it up for the last little bit. Sure, it's mostly just an inconvenience, but I got rid of it 5min after getting the bike. Anything more than a small nudge to the bike or parking on a hill on a very windy day can make it retract, too...
