Hi
When refering to needle position (in the carb) in manuals and in this forum, is it the needles position or the clips position that is mentioned? The needle position in my opinion is the heigh of the needle, not the clip, i.e. needle posion 5th from bottom is the neddle in its almost top position and hence the clip in the almost lowest position. In the Husaberg manuals this is not very clear.
The reason why I ask is when you bye a new HB in Europe is EU adapted, i.e. throttle movement limited, another needle and idling jet. You have to change to the real setting s(attached in plastic bag) to be able to use the bike (for enduro). Also the new setting of the needle should be "needle position 2". I know that the jetting probably needs to be adjusted to riding conditions etc. but it's good to have a clear starting point.
