    FE570 gets my vote. Loved the one I sampled for a weekend.

    Yes if you can start with the maps from this site: ZipTy Husqvarna Factory Powercommander 5 Race maps

    If you are even contemplating a dyno tune, just spend that money on the autotune. Try to get your dealer to put map #3 on your ECU to start with, or send it to ZipTy for re-flash.

    I bought the PCV from Motomummy just before:banana:cant wait to put it on!! this has got me all exited about the husky again! :applause:

    I thought Motomummy had an awesome deal on the module and the switch, it said $353, and I was very happy with that! went to pay for it and I forgot about the bloody exchange rate at the moment! $1 AUS = $0.73 US currently, cost me $482 instead:censored:but im still very happy cos soon I will have the bike that I have been wanting:love:

    Instead of buying a TCairbox, would it be fine if I drilled 10 or 11 20mm holes in the current TE box? And then rivet some fine steel mesh on the inside....

    Sorry its taken a while to give you all a report on the bike, have been quite busy. So I have decided to keep the husky for the time being, and continue to see if I can get it sorted properly. I removed the flap in the throttle body, opened up the airbox and installed a PCV. The PCV has a switch, and it has Tinkens experimental map and the factory Zipty map loaded (one hardcore and one softer). I have been for one ride and....i looooove it!! It pulls waaay harder everwhere, is snappier and just generally goes like a shower of shit. I would like some more balls sometime, but at the moment its so much better than what it was before I am happy for the time being. I wouldnt mind getting it dynoed again, and getting it dialed in perfect.
    I do have only one problem at the minute though. I had to take out the bottom fuel tank when I put the PCV in, and although I thought I connected it properly again, theres something wrong. Fuel wont transfer from the main tank to the bottom tank, I thought there may be a kink in the hose but there isnt. The two taps (I suppose they are called taps) on each tank are wide open so I guess it isn't that. The bike has run out of fuel, the bottom tank is dry, but when you open the fuel cap, the main tank is still brimming full. Any help with this is appreciated.
