No, that letter says the license plate bracket’s teeth can misalign with the teeth in the swingarm, resulting in a situation where you think the rear wheel nut is properly tightened while in fact it isn’t.

As I removed that hideous opossum scraper, that can’t be the case on my bike…

Pirate racing has a good video on how to change it.

I did it with a beer and could do it without removing the clutch basket. Just spring change took 10-20 minutes.

I had some problems with false neutral on my 2018. But my friend with a 2020 havent had any problems at all with oem spring.

Iaf you feel that the fuel filter change fixed some of the problem i would look at the injector aswell. If the filter is dirty it is going to end up in the injector some time.

you can clean these by removing it and backpressure it with som brakekleen. It Wont work as a permanent solution but is a good error check to do instead of buying a new…[Read more]

I got a RECALL in the mail today for this issue (Sept-2021). The recall states that the rear tire has been found to be out of alignment on several units. This can then cause the nut to loosen and the license plate mount to fall into the tire. Not a good thing 🙂 It says to take it to the dealer and they will check alignment and torque specs.

Something people often overlook when buying a bike is that, unlike a lot of other consumer goods, if you ride often, you’re probably going to find yourself headed back to your LBS (that’s Local Bike Shop) every now and then: maintenance (probably only once or twice a year if you’re talking about a commuter or road bike), accessories like security…[Read more]

Nah, not an issue.  Any Husky dealer will service it for warranty.  I have 3 pretty close to me.

Let’s hope it doesn’t ever need any warranty work, that’d be a long trip to your dealer and back.

I use the basic Oxford Aquatex covers. But I double up on them. Fit a small one on first, then a medium one on top. Bike stays nice and dry all through the winter outside. I treat it with ACF50 twice a year, and have no rust or corrosion issues. Bike is 2 years old now, and I’ve had it from new.
