Well as some of you know I have a new Husky TE450, bike is great handling and narrow and I never thought I would feel more comfortable on a bike then my 02 fe501e Berg.
Well my enduro club (Calif Endure Riders Association CERA) has been getting ready to put on our annual Fools Gold Enduro (5/2/04) in Georgetown, CA. I have been spending many hours the last month and half on the weekends doing trail maintenance and riding. The Husky has been running great and starts everytime I hit the button.
Well saturday afternoon (after 2days of riding and marking the course) I take off to ride my 12 mile section and mark the entrance and exit of 2 trails we can only use during our event. I go down about 1.6 miles of trail to a fireroad to ride the 6 miles out to my section, going down the trail the Husky stars backfiring when engine braking. When I get to the road the bike dies hit thew button to start and it goes click and nothing, check connections, fuses wires and still only click. Try kicking and still won't start (bike has 34hrs on it and valves adjusted at 23hrs).
So my nephew rides back up to camp, rips the FOR SALE sign off of the Husaberg, loads it in his truck, drives down to me, unload, load Husky and away I go. When I get back to camp later the Husky fires right up, then I turn it off and now it wont start again. So I will be working on it again.
My wife is not happy with me
It doesn't matter what bike you buy, they all can have problems.
LONG LIVE THE BERGS.
