I've had a lot of people tell me I should have taken the bike into the shop and tried to get them to fix it under warranty. Even after I told them it was my fault, they're like, "So what." Well, that shows the mentality of some people who will try to lie their way out of something because a company has deep pockets. Sure, fixing my bike under warranty wouldn't cost Husqvarna that much, but I'd have to live with it. I'd rather just pay the bill and be done with it. Probably going to sell the bike now anyway, once I get it back. We'll see. Thanks for the kind words.
And now, for the rest of the story... Will purchase a 2017 FE 501. I did sell the TE, and got a good price, three years ago. Now, it's time to upgrade to newer technology. I was reading this sorry story again, brought back memories. The new bike will go down the same super moto road again.
