As ahusky nut yes they are good, as with all things enduro they require good maintenance, the te310 is highly recommended.

I love the bike but due to an ongoing problem with my left hand I need a bike with a Rekluse clutch. Bought one for the Husky but it doesnt fit 2007 onwards 250'shmm

Wish I'd have done my homework before spending out on parts it needed but at least the next owner will know the bike's sorted.

Andy, go buy yourself a proper Husky Auto. I reckon the later watercooled 3 speed would do you. No clutch lever, no gear lever !

I just had a look and liked this add.

Are they really that much of a monster, more so than a KTM450?

Maybe I should set my sights on a 250 or 310 then....wink

I have a 2009 te310 and love it. good quality components and so far faultless reliability. needed fork seals. bought with 800 laning miles for £3200 just 7k new so seems silly to buy a new one. tank could be bigger but still good for 90 miles ish dependant on the wrist. husky sport reccomend 30-40 hrs between oil change so not as bad as the old crf. i dont think you'll need anything more than a 310. im 13.5 stone and drags me about ok. it is tall though. im 6'4'' and just right.

 I think they're under-rated as a bike for novices and experienced riders alike. I find it much easier to handle than my old Sherco 4.5i. It has a large sump (1.7litres) so that would explain the longer oil change intervals.

The TE310 is the one I have my sights set on ideally.
As soon as I move (or make space in the garage here - not likely) I'll be on the look out for one.

Worry stuff about dodgy fuel injector pumps though, or is that just the 450's?

According to the husky forums its the Temperature sensors not the pumps which cause the problems.
