Just picked up a new FE501 a month ago in Kamloops, BC Canada. Had it for six days. Did the 1 hour service and at 5hrs the engine started making a terrible screeching noise. Its been at a warranty approved shop now for 25 days and they are still waiting for Husqvarna to make up their mind regarding changing all the moving internal parts or ship a new engine from Austria or simply put it together and let me ride it till it leaves me stranded. The shop cannot find the source of the noise however the mechanic and Husqvarna rep agree something is seriously wrong. Also being that this bike is street legal I have paid for a month of insurance I haven't been able to use. Additionally I have essentially missed out on the best time of year to ride. I guess my philosophy of saving to 'buy the best and cry once' hasnt held true this time. Luckily my 2006 RMZ 450 hasn't sold and is still going strong.
3 things i don’t get: -why lower the price instead of keeping the same price point and upgrading the dash and rider aids? like cornering abs, wheelie control, slide control... -why doesn’t it have spoked wheels and that super handy luggage holder on the tank just like the 401? -why isn’t it available in black anymore? the name literally means black arrow. if it had all these things i would spend 11k€ today for it. want it to be affordable? ok give those things as optional at least. i can put on spoked wheels but not the different electronics
This and the Vitpilen are works of art. I ordered mine today after contemplation for a year. Amazing machines!
How's the bike been??
Finally, the video is available to me! RUclips wouldn't let people watch it when it launched.
I love this bike! It's the one I wanted with the 701.
Husqvarna nailed it with this bike. I bought one for my wife (I ride it more than her) and now I want more of their bikes.
Loved ittttt!!!woooo... hoooooooooooo!!!😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And can't get one anywhere :(((
Dream to buy this one day
Looks fantastic, would love to try it out.

It sounds like an oil circulation issue, pump and or plugged oil passage, I've a chance to ride the ktm version of that and those things really rip👍
That's a real bummer to have a new bike do that
When are you launching this in India. I'll definitely get one for myself if you do 😎
I want to buy this beauty but not on my country in Türkiye? We have 401 even vitplan 701 but not this one?
Wow👌🔥 Cant decide, this or the vitpilen 701. The high wide handlebars on the svartpilen just invites so much
And thats the husqiee.......❤❤
Simple and awesome design 👌😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Very clean design
Would've love to see this bike in India, sad that it's discontinued...
India is waiting for 701 bikes..please launch them soon..
Plz make also 125 cc hasqvarna and launch in india duke 125 replacement
Needed spoked wheels and now does!
When is it coming to India ???
I think Bajaj and ktm will launch in 2019-20 in india
I don't think it is. Bajaj said it would only build and sell 401 in India.
Really beautyful, only The price is a little bit high

want it to be affordable? ok give those things as optional at least. i can put on spoked wheels but not the different electronics
My next bike.
When husqvarna will launch their beasts in india
🤘🏻👀
The new basic.
Change the screen plz and put better buttons on the bike.
Wanna buy one until 21years old
NOT MUCH INFO. what materials used in build compared to CHINA BIKES
Will you give it for free
Plzzz
BRING BACK THE NUDA 900R!!!🛡🔱
Such a waste you discontinued this piece of art. Disappointed. Nothing to upgrade from my 401
too weak this single-cylinder. it breaks your ears moreover. This bike deserves a 900 or 1000 cc twin.
