Poll - Torque limiter failures on 449/511

Massive over reaction IMHO. My stock one lasted 6000 miles of hard riding and some really nasty single track gnar it should not have seen. I could still be riding it but did notice a slip on occasion and wanted to fix it ASAP. My bike also has a bunch of motor upgrades and makes a LOT more power than stock and I am not EZ on it. Get The ZipTy breather relocator and ride. Depending on how you ride I bet you get a lot of miles with it. There will always be some out there. This motor is still used and still for sale right now.

no

Wow, that's good to know. Many thanks for sharing with Yanks!

However I'd rather keep the cases together with the relocated breather for as long as possible.

Whatever, I was thanking you for sharing, but go ahead and be that way.

Wow. You talk about useful posts and rant on about nothing related. Why not just ignore the sale pitch and move on instead of the paragraphs of rant. Like it or not the sponsors are part of what keep this forum on line. Sometime we sponsors overstep our bounds. Fine, it is EZ to just ignore that but constantly bringing it up does nothing but amplify it. Tinken was the first I ever saw mention the TL and issues. I thought at the time it was sales pitch until I had a failure which is why I started this poll and thread to begin with. There are always personalities on forums. Sometimes you need to choose to ignore some people. Most of your last posts have been nothing more the rants bring the subject up over and over and backhanded comments. Not sure how this helps with the TL issue and this thread. ZipTy and Cory raced the 499 for a season and have boxes of TLs to show for it. I'd say they have some experience with it regardless of your personal feeling for Tinkens sales tactics or not. Other than the off subject rants I have found this thread highly informational. Good info from timmy, 9880, tinken. etc. CAN WE PLEASE KEEP THIS ON TOPIC AND TALK ABOUT THE TL AND SUCH. Feel free to ignore posts you don't like and opinions you don't care for but lets talk about the TL and move past this. We get it loud and clear.

I believe it does. It is located directly below the vent. Zipty has piles of thrashed TLs and relocating the breather, running more oil and thinner oil eliminated the issues on their race bikes. These guys had these motors apart hundreds of times and went through piles of TLs so there experience is well worth considering regardless if you like the messanger or not. Can we please forgo the personal bashing on all sides and just put the good info out there. There is an ignore feature on this site if you feel that strongly about it but the continuous bringing it up does nothing for the real info. What it has done though is push the one person out who has the most experience with this issue. I don't think anyone else here has 10 race bikes, 20 TLs and thousands of miles of high speed racing in hot conditions. The delivery might be semi condescending but the info is solid IMHO. You all have contributed great info here and for that I am thankful.

LETS TALK ABOUT THE TL PLEASE.

Not hiding or plotting. Simply watching the the BS disrespect towards someone that not only pays to keep this forum going but has given a ton of free advice and helped countless people even though it did nothing for their business. The constant bashing of a husqvarna race team and supporter of this forum is a bunch of garbage. I've appreciated everyones input when it's simply constructive criticism but this is out of control. Is it crazy that a business wants to keep certain things a secret to help their business and so it isn't recreated? They're the one's that have invested more time and money into these bikes then most anyone. I'm all for them recouping what they've invested.

I agree that there are people lurking and it's dissappointing to see that only a hand full of people are willing to stand up for Zip-Ty against all this. For the record, I have yet to buy anything and would receive no other discount then the one provided to all the cafe forum members

Wow this has degraded unnecessarily. I truly was thankful that a fellow member has taken the time to point out the possibility of rebuilding the TL. I felt it was unnecessary to attack a product that I have chosen to use.

Glad you have the time to go into such detail about something that wasn't even directed toward you Timmy. I have also enjoyed reading many of your informative posts here as well.

Relax man, go ride and enjoy. Picking nits on a forum and getting your blood boiling over it just ain't worth it.
