Everyone revalves the Husky to get back the 10 mm and everyone puts a
spring kit in their forks. Come on KYM give us springs stock and put the Husky back to original height

The husky has always been my favorite looking bike

Going in refers to making the oil passage smaller making it stiffer. Going out refers to making the oil passage larger to make it softer

So here's a pet peeve...and I am going to be "that guy". But there's a word that I've heard a few guys say now in the moto world. Josh Mosiman, Keefer, and now the test rider in this video at about the 3:50 mark. The word is "comftorbility" lol. They're trying to say the bike is comfortable. That is has good comfort. They felt comfortable. Those are actual words that mean what you need them to mean. This isn't a case where you need to make up new words guys. "Comftorbility" is not a word. Please stop lol.

Agreed!

KYB spring fork should be mandatory

[@lasseflemming4891]

1:12 : "They went out on the compression on the fork, went out on the high-speed compression at the shock and went in on the rebound"... Being a novice, does this statement refers to the saying: "righty tighty, and lefty loosy"??

[@teflon36don]

Get Mookie off that thing and on a KTM and I bet he can podium every weekend

[@brettfrimmer6567]

It’s the same bike lol

[@jake_perry2838]

Mookies on the standard height 🤦‍♂️

I have all of the Austrian bikes, coming from Honda for 3 decades. I'll never look back. The Husqvarna is my do everything, comfortable ride. Number one reason is the air forks, being able to dial in your forks' spring rate at the track as conditions change is a game changer. I've got cone valves on the gas gas, honestly a waste of money for 90% of the tracks. Unless the track is absolutely gnarly fast, deep ruts. Save your money. I'll probably throw the kyb kit in the KTM with a lighter set of wheels, Husqvarna doesn't have that darting feel. 20° offset 1" riser, 10mm drop pegs. It's dialed, no complaints.
