Quote:Over the last couple of years since KTM have owned Husaberg I think their reliability issues have dropped significantlt. Also the new Husaberg’s are made from 70% KTM parts, so it’s pretty much a modified KTM with an fuel injected angkled engine (as far as parts go)
Gotta love those ankled engines. Much better than the kneed engines that preceded them, or the hipped ones before that!
Actually moto’s spot on from what I hear, the new Hussy’s are basically a mish-mash of KTM bits and bobs screwed together with tech screws and chewing gum or something like that! Possibly they even use bolts, but don’t quote me!

Ollie, Ollie, Ollie! :laugh:
Can’t believe you rose to that little bait! Man, that was ridiculous! Just having a dig at JRD – we grew up together.
That, and he test rode a Gasser 300 a little while back. I bet he’s still getting over the vibrations!
Actually, 2T’s, although not my cup of tea, are good bikes in the right hands (ie not mine) and on the right rides. Champo’s TM, once geared up, was actually better on the Hill End ride than the WR which wasn’t geared up.
Besides, you’d better get used to me having a dig at 2T’s because I ain’t gonna stop anytime soon!:laugh:
I still say that hussy’s aren’t family friendly!

Quote:Just one thing ECKS, the GHR team use ready oiled filters and their engine builder told Chicken and myself they now get over 100hrs out of standard CRF450 valves now since they stopped washing their filters and used pre oiled. Thats the dust thing after washing and drying, and your right no one uses then dry, did I say that :huh:Anyway I am not so sure regarding the ready ones like you say the WR one did like a bit funny :cheer:
Sorry TB, not saying that the GHR team are wrong – anyone who can make a (modern) Honda last 100 hours on valves is doing something right. I’m sure the one-use filters they use are better than the one I had is all I have to say about that!
Of course nobody uses a filter dry, you didn’t say that at all! You just mentioned that if we clean an air filter and let it dry then give it a bash you can see dust fly out of it. I tried it after you mentioned that and didn’t see any. I reckon if you clean an air filter properly then there is no dust in it and once it is oiled it should perform as well as a one-use filter.:dry:
These race teams obviously have budgets that eclipse mine so one-use filters are a better option for them than cleaning reusable filters.:woohoo:
Guys, just a request and if it can’t be avoided then its my bad luck, but with the Safari in the start of August I will most likely be on the road in the last week of July to get to WA – otherwise I’ll be helping organise everything with my brother-in-law.
So I’d like to request that the dates be earler in July please…
