    Electric leg. I always stall in the worst situations for kick starting. The eleg (for a 4T at least) is the ducks guts.

    How about Power Valves? I believe Yamaha had the first one in the 1970's? They sure did wonders for the Open Class bikes, in making them more rider friendly.

    Number one... when liquid cooling came to town


    Number two....Uni track...full floater...pro link...2nd gen monoshock...... or any iterations of the modern rising rate suspension....and inverted forks

    Number three...plastic fuel tanks and seats that go all the way up to the fuel tank cap...in the old days they used to call them safety seats....and anyone who hit anything that stopped the bike dead in its tracks and had been unfortunate enough to slide forward real fast...knows exactly what I mean......:eek:

    I think disc brakes. The drum brakes really sucked after going through sum water.

    You just need to get fitted properly. Probably wearing too large a cup :lol:

    I'd have to go with the CS location on the 2011 Husky because it's the latest innovation. Time will tell if it's worth a shyte! :D

    How about a couple Husqvarna technical innovations?
    1903 - From bicycle to motorcycle
    1935 - The first lightweight motorcycle:
    In 1935 Husqvarna starts producing the first two-stroke motorcycle.

    I found this off a Husky Web Site: http://international.husqvarna.com/node1003.aspx

    If you wanted to have some nostalgia you could go to cuil.com and search for Husqvarna. They have a really interesting timeline for the bikes.

    I went their because I was curious, their search bots have been all over this site non-stop.

    Can't disagree with any of them folks. I am looking forward to the supposed attributes of an efi 2 stroke. If its ture then they will be amazing bikes (much wider power band, twice the existing fuel range, no more polluting than a 4 stroke). So lets keep the innovations coming.

    ghte,

    I was thinking the same thing but opted for a personal chuckle seeing as I probably won't be alive when they finally pull the trigger on the DI 2T.

    Yes, the magic button. Much better than kick startin' a loaded of 510 in the middle of the MX track......man:doh:
