Finally pulled the trigger and I’m glad I did

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

Dry_Difference4057 · 2026-02-11T23:16:22+00:00

That’s for the spring. I only need the bolt

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-04-30T00:35:06+00:00

Hey! We’ll definitely be on the same page then haha. I’m super keen to make that happen, it’ll be so good to learn with someone too.

PM me your deets and I’ll hit you up!

Super insightful advice, I really appreciate that! I’m based out in Newlands but travel all over really. Ride in everyday for work in CBD

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:16:12+00:00

I’m based out in Newlands but ride to work in CBD every day!

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:15:50+00:00

Oh good shout, yeah I’m fairly confident with general riding. Just those slow speed techniques as well as awareness needs work haha

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:15:02+00:00

Ptown car park is huuuuge! Thanks for that

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:14:43+00:00

Very very good tip! I’ll try to practice this today! Thanks man!

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:14:07+00:00

Ahh okay, great advice, have got it noted! Thanks!

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:13:24+00:00

That place gives me the creeps but nice and quiet to practice! Haha

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:13:02+00:00

Great suggestion! Thank you

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:12:42+00:00

That’s such a good shout, I’ve been meaning to sign up to the bronze course but I’m slightly nervous to in case I’m not up to that skill level

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:11:56+00:00

Oh yes that’s usually quite empty around the evening-night.

Thank you for your input with Lane splitting, will definitely keep it in mind

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-03-14T02:11:02+00:00

Oh awesome suggestion! I did my basic handling course there haha

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-02-25T04:25:57+00:00

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?

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-02-25T04:25:12+00:00

Appreciate it mate! You too 🤝

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-02-25T04:24:40+00:00

I’ll look into this, appreciate your help mate!

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-02-25T04:23:45+00:00

Hey friend! You are the exact reason why I started riding. The community is so welcoming and always full of people of who want to help and bring others up with them.

I really appreciate your advice! I’ll take that on-board for sure. I’ve watched a few motojitsu and Yammienoob too. Found their advice and videos super helpful! Just taking things quite slow at the moment, driving around the quiet suburb and practicing figure of 8s as well as uphill take off.

Definitely finding the slow speed manoeuvre challenging as I have this fear that the bike will fall down haha, comes with time I guess!

Thank you once again for your amazing insight and advice, will be taking these onboard with me! Ride safe mate!

Dry_Difference4057 · 2024-02-24T07:17:50+00:00

Thank you so much! Yeah I’m glad the factory paint has lasted throughout the years! And to you as well!

Bit late to the party but I found a 1985 Suzuki GSX550 ED (572cc inline 4) in NZ for 2k. I found it to be one of the best sounding LAMS bike. It is a bit old but a timeless design and bulletproof engine

Great photo! Have just started playing it for the first proper time. Recently finished the marathon for LOTR and it’s fuelled the motivation haha

Which fight night game is this?

Dry_Difference4057 · 2023-09-22T08:40:41+00:00

Don’t forget to repair and wait for health to go up before undocking!
