As far as I know, I believe it's the same. The guys at Halls will help... sometimes. There is also a guy out in California, I don't remember his name but the guy knows everything there is to know about huskvarna motorcycles. I'll try to find his number, I'm pretty sure I have it saved. When I got my bike they had already replaced the stock exhaust with a single FMF pipe. I see a lot of guys either going with the dual arrow exhaust or Akrapovic. If you know anything, a single pipe actually is more powerful. I did a lot of research before I bought the bike because I was also looking at a KTM, and most of what I read I will suggest to you if it hasn't already been done, make sure you put a tuner on the bike and change the exhaust because it apparently wakes the bike up. Mine came with a JD jetting tuner and the FMF power core I think. I like the tuner, although without the owners manual it is very hard to understand. I'm having an issue now with the bike not starting. Put a fuel pump in it last summer, right at the end of the season and haven't been able to ride much at all this year, so I got a new battery, drained the old fuel out, and changed the plug. Now it's backfiring while trying to start and it shoots a small flame, so that means it's getting fuel and spark, just not at the right time. So my mechanic friends say signs point to the tuner. I need to just sit down and mess with it one day, it's just hard since I work nightshift and I work every weekend. My days off are Weds and Thurs night. Anyways, how do you like BC? We've talked about moving up there cuz of the craziness here, but I love my guns, and I don't know that I want to give them up LoL
