Yes, and no, I'm leaving it alone for now, everything still looks so new. Maybe next time it's down I'll throw in a high comp piston. Right now, you can still see the original crosshatching pattern from the factory cylinder hone over the full length of the cylinder.
Can I ask how it was your fault? Also, I feel your pain. The husky broke, and I kid you not it hadn't even been 24 hours yet when I was in town running errands on the ninja and my clutch cable snapped.. two bikes in less than a day. We just got through a week and a half of solid rain here, it's been 20-25 degrees celcius here all week so far.. torture is an understatement
Only thing I can figure that would bend the fork. Can't tell the bike's been down other than some scuffs on the radiator shrouds, I've got full sliders and the peg sliders and handguards will always take the brunt of the hit. First time was some sand and grit, second time was some leftover sand and salt from a snowstorm... Both times I was basically balls-out peg scrubbing, so I was already close to the ground
Well, according to Husqvarna, they are indefinitely out of stock on ALL the trans gears. WTF? A less than 2yo bike and I can't get replacement parts? So my question is, does anybody know someone that might have some in stock? Hall's is out for the day, but I left a message.
I'll have the part number list in the next day or so. Just got in the cam chain I ordered from Hall's 3 weeks ago.
Have a lawyer call them! They by law have to keep parts for a bike at least 7 years after they stop production.
Per Upstate they're supposed to start shipping parts again on the 10th. They've got several shipping containers full of parts on their way to Austria and more in customs here heading to Ohio. Guess we'll see.
If the only issue with getting parts is a 2 week delay because of the buyout, that would be a 'win'. I hope you get your parts, but yes call around to dealers that may have them on their shelves.
I'm really hoping that's all it is. It took two weeks of hounding from Upstate for Husky to tell them they were "out of stock"
Husky parts are SUPPOSED to start shipping again today, since they're scheduled to be all settled into their new warehouses now. Guess we'll see... Been storming the last week and a half, but it still sucks being bike-less...
If it makes you feel any better, both of mine are still broke as well. Been hating myself for a couple weeks now, this is torture. Hopefully be ordering my parts by Wednesday of this week. Hope you get back on your bike soon, happy thoughts!
Destroyed one fork and gauled up another, gauled the sides of a couple gears and rounded the dogs off. Probably bent the fork a while ago stuffing the shifter into pavement, didn't get bad enough to start slipping off the dogs until that last ride home. Shifted into 3rd mid wheelie, instant false neutral and angry sounds. Puttered home on 1st, 2nd and 4th. Fork was too bent let it go into 5th or 6th. Right now, everything's in or on the way except for 3 gears, which NOBODY has apparently.... Part numbers: 800074863 gear 8000H3068 gear 800074864 gear
