TE450 & TE510 (07, 08, 09) OEM changes

TE450/510 (07, 08, 09, 10) OEM changes

I am trying to determine the various improvements that were made from one year to the next. Can anyone point me to another thread already detailing this information? Here's a start:

07 TE450/510
1. carbs
2. silver wheels


08 TE450/510
1. fuel injected
2. silver wheels


09 TE450/510
1. fuel injected
2. black wheels
3. new tank graphics
4. new exhaust system with removeable cat in mid-pipe
5. new oil pump and filter
6. new lighter, stronger frame
7. EFI software:
09 has variable setpoints (20% /40% / 70%) vs 1 (0-100%)for 08
09 does not require 02 sensor installed to make adjustments to race map
09 has simple data logger for fuel trim vs rpm/throttle position when using 02 sensor (long term adaptation table)
09 allows base table for 02 sensor fuel map to be modified (20% / 40% / 70%)


10 TE450/510
1. Kayaba 48mm forks
2. redesigned steering clamps
3. 15mm shorter swingarm
4. new damper settings on Sachs shock
5. new stronger, flexible body panels
6. more powerful front and rear lights
7. LED rear lights
8. new hubs and wheel spindles
9. fixed rear disc
10. new radiator hoses
11. new powerful waterpump




I can update this list as new information is found. I am learning this in hopes of becoming a new Husqvarna TE450/510 owner soon.

Also, does anyone know if the trip-computer mileage is resettable in 10th's?

09 new exhaust system w/ removable cat in mid pipe

new oil pump and filter on 09 or 10's

From 2008 to 2009, the frame got lighter and stronger.

Great, updated first post.

Does anyone with a TE 450/510 know if the trip-meter is resettable in 10th's. I know that KTM's trip-meter can be adjusted, which is great when riding with a roll-chart. I was hoping Husqvarna would also use this feature.

As far as the EFI software between 08 and 09 on TE:

09 has variable setpoints (20% /40% / 70%) vs 1 (0-100%)for 08
09 does not require 02 sensor installed to make adjustments to race map
09 has simple data logger for fuel trim vs rpm/throttle position when using 02 sensor (long term adaptation table)
09 allows base table for 02 sensor fuel map to be modified (20% / 40% / 70%)

In my opinion - the 09 basemaps as closer to ideal than for the 08 - and the adjustability of the 09 EFI gives you the better opportunity to customize power/throttle response/economy to what you like.

I have no experience with 2010's EFI.

why stop...

I have been considering these later years, but I would imagine this would be helpful to others if we expand it to older models as well. But then, we would need to expand to other models, and then.....I might need a paycheck.
