Bought this used 10' 390 a few months ago. Awesome bike although this is my first dirt bike and everyone says I should have ridden some 82' for a year or so to appreciate this thing....
I have to give thanks to Alan Stillwell who rebuild, revalved, and tuned my suspension. I come from an automotive racing background and knew the suspension wasn't set up right on the first trail ride. Once Alan got a hold of it, we realized it was indeed setup for the track with stiff springs and valving. Alan was able to make it very plush without compromising big hits and occasional jumps. The bike just rockets up boldered climbs and all I really have to do is hang on, keep the throttle up and steer a bit. Pretty amazing.
Also wanted to give a shout out to Shane Watts for teaching me the do's and dont's of riding as well as some great technical skills. I recently attended one of his weekend seminars and I can't say enough about it. My skill level improved by 100% within 2 days and just the shear fact of being able to watch him ride was worth the time. He is truly amazing on a motorcycle as well as a great instructor.
Glad I chose a Husaberg and have this forum. Thx
