MXA said “The Husqvarna needs a different rising rate curve—one that changes the rising rate at the start of the stroke to be a little softer but then ramps up at the end of the stroke to be stiffer. The aftermarket will fill this void quickly”.
Does anybody know what the best aftermarket fixes are?
REP sells a link and knuckle that has been getting good reviews
Did they also state, if you ride mostly sand or loam the stock ratio is fine?
I don’t remember, but either than race day mornings the tracks I ride are mostly leaning towards hard packed. But this is good to know, thanks.
So reached out to REP and they said “We have our linkage which definitely helps with what you are feeling. But with a Husky it doesn't just bolt on. You would have to use KTM height forks or shorten the shock in order for our linkage to work for your bike.”. I like the factory height of the Husky and also don’t want to shorten the shock more than Husky already has. So I think I have to keep looking until REP releases one for the Husky.

The Husky shock isn’t shortened on 23/24. It’s reduced travel at the end stroke. But lowered with longer link.
So the ride height might not change much if they use a shorter link(which raises the rear) but shorten shock to lower rear.
Other shops to ask is Pro Circuit, PR2 and Luxon. They are all offering link/knuckle configurations.
Any idea if Husky fixed the rising rate issue on the 2024 models? I looked but couldn’t find anything suggesting they did. I guess the best fix to this would be to get newer model parts if they do fix the issue.
Until then I’m thinking my best bet is keep trying to make the stock stuff work. Might try less sag then is recommended and I think I read extra low speed comp can help.
