well tms are meant to come with all the best gear out of the box. therefore there is no hard parts catalogue.

however, since the ohlines family bought back majority share of the company. they stopped making offroad forks, just internals. fair enough. but now tm can’t get ohlins forks. they have to settle for marzoccis. they are the twin chamber type though (huskys get the cheaper single chamber jobs)

re: the ktm hard parts catalogue. i asked my local ktm dealer why it exists. she said that ktms are like commodores, and you can hot them up.

why would i want a bike like a commodore?

i would rather buy a bike (for racing) that has all the same gear that the factory team has.

then figure out how to ride it

Hmmmm, my understanding was that the new Husky Mxr’s had the Twin tube mazooks?? Oh well…maybe not, however, he who buys Husky can wallow in the Knowledge his 2 yr warranty lasts much longer than the Average 6 months handed out….by most Manufacturers these days.

2 year warranty true enough, but the user pays pretty big for the privelidge I dont really know if it is justified.

Ollie, I dont understand that? My bike cost me $11,700.00 new, warranty came with it, a crf 450 costs heaps more, 6 month warranty. Not being the Smartest on the planet, can you explain what you meant for in ” user pays “, for me please? :huh: My bikes now 18months old( app), omnly issue i had was the Airbox, they were happy to replace it for me, i just didnt see the sense of it. So in my case, the warranty hasnt been needed at all. It appears most bikes are similarly priced, accross the common 450 ranges…so i dont understand what your comment means??

correct me if I am wrong but to maintain your 24 mnth Warranty you have to get your bike serviced by Husky? If they charge you $90 an hour for a pimply faced apprentice to change an oil filter add some oil tighten the spokes and adjust the chain well I dont consider that good value and worth the warranty. Just my opinion, I prefer to do all of the above myself as I know that its done properly.I am a Husky fan (2 strokes) and often ride my brothers 94 610TC which is great,I have never had an issue with Husky imports or R&D as they are known nowadays,I also think the 24 month warranty is a great idea,but you should be able to get your bike serviced at any mechanical service centre,not just authorised Husky dealerships.

Alls good, just didnt understand what you were saying. On that point, we no longer have a HUSKY dealer in town, so basically my warranty is not much use anyway. On that point, no warranty is worth the cost though. I voided mine in the first 10 hrs run time, by changing oils myself. the old shop was still good for replacing my airbox for me though, if I wanted it. On the brand part ollie, IMHO too many people get caught up in ” my bike your bike”. I dont follow racing of bikes mx sx or gp. My bike does what it was bought for. To give me TIME OUT. The size of the bike FITS ME. something ost 2t cant do. Its cheap to maintain, as I’m limited in confidence to work on my bike.( not ability, for most things.) Like many bikes, it has its good points and its bad. but at the end of the day, it performs the job i bought it for, lugging my fat guts around at a sensible pace to explore parts of this area i cant drive to. The hardest part to get over is the fact it’s ability far outweighs mine. The MAIN reason i have the HUSKY, Honda dont make NEW XR 600/650’s, kawasaki 6500 not capable, dr650 same. Drz 400 not enough ability/power. 450’s (any of em) to much bike. 250’s, to small for my hieght/weight. Wasnt left with much choice, the bike has held its own, I’M rapt. Never owned or ridden one prior. Wouldnt hesitate to buy another.

Again, thanks for the explaining..not all is as obvious to all.

cool mate, I know they are a good thing just ask Tiny:laugh: and I am a husky fan I just think the big selling point of having 24mth warranty is not what it is all made out to be as long as you are having fun and getting out there and doing it
good onya mate
