Husky noob-What is this?

[brandontx]

What is the hole in the upper left hand corner? Looks like a screw should be in there. What is the deal in the lower left hand corner it looks like something should be there as well.

nothing goes in the top hole, and the plug near the clutch is for the kick starter.

Drain for spark plug cavity...

Sounds about right. Kind of a weird way to finish off the area where the kickstarter goes.

 

[MXRider]

you can add a kick start if you want and not have to buy a different case.
its a pretty standard way of doing it.

Yep, it's just too bad that it costs $350+ for a kickstarter assembly and a few gears.

believe it or not, the hole at the top is so you can blow air up in to the spark plug cavity before removing the plug to prevent dirt and debris from falling in to your cylinder

Yup... a must when changing your plug.

Just make sure that hole stays open.. Heat and condensation builds up in that chamber and it will blow the spark plug cap up off the plug but not always out of the cylinder..

If you find the cap not pushed all the way down on the plug some time you'll now know why..lol

What husky bike doesnt come with a kick starter? 610/630? I guess im the husky noob

I would also check that little round glass window on the lower right hand side. It should be at least half way filled with oil... :-)

It's full when the bike is upright. I just got this bike so should it be halfway filled when on the kickstand?

 

[johosjokers]

My 09 shows to the full line when upright, will show nothing when on the kickstand

Between the two lines on the right side of the window when upright is properly filled.

 

[J.R.]

Hold the bike straight up to check the sight glass

 

[R_Little]

Yup... a must when changing your plug.

...and drain water out too!

Yep Just use ur needle dic to clean it out!
All joking aside what a great invention. I hope the brain that figured that out gets a Ferrari or somethin. As far as the kick starter plug I have seen red plugs before. From pics looks like its just cheesy plastic?

It's just a standard metal (brass?) plug
