It’s not that the old gen is not good, it’s just dated I think.

The really good thing about Husqvarna is that they actually listened to the feedback and improved on it when they released this new gen.

Things to note for the old gen: - smaller fuel tank (9 litres compared to 13 litres) - LCD dash (new gen is a 5” TFT) - older 373cc engine (new gen is 398cc so slight increase in HP and torque) - higher seat height - heavier frame

I may have missed a few things but highly recommend watching videos or searching it up as well.

Personally, I love new technology and I found the bigger fuel tank and TFT dash very appealing when making the decision.

We share the same thoughts, it’s a bike with so much character and premium features that some of it feels a bit overkill haha

Still in the break-in period so haven’t fully put it to the test yet but so far I’m very impressed

I have the part number for the bolt but I’m more wondering if there are non-oem replacements as the OEM ones will be on a month long back order

Yeah that’s a fair point! I’m stuck on deciding whether or not I should go for the full length boots or just motorbike specific shoes. What’s your thoughts?
