So I pulled the trigger on this brand new bike because of the amazing deal. I'm picking it up Thursday. Besides getting the front forks worked on, what else would I need to get this thing ready to go? This will be my first Husky.

Swap out the battery for a lipo, and ditch the seat cover asap, I had the same bike, forks were decent after a $700 valve job.

Could you expound on the lipo battery? This will be my first electric start bike.

Lithium ion shorai battery. FMF slip on muffler. The stock muffler chokes that bike to death. Did this to my 14 and it was a great bike. Very reliable

Would paying for the full FMF system be worth it? Also, the stock rear tire is a 110/90. Did you notice any difference compared to the typical 120/80?

I've heard that KTM/Husky's respond extremely well with using a GET ecu and swapping out the pipe. If I had kept my 2016 Husky FC350 those are the two performance mods I would have down.

And I was going to have the front fork redone, the 4CS fork is terrible...lol

Buy Ohlins front fork cartridge kit. You can always sell it after.

Most Husqvarna silencers have some restrictor cones you can remover (with a hammer). Try that before swapping out the silencer $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Honestly, if it were mine I'd ride it stock for awhile to determine what or if I needed to change anything. That way you can appreciate and notice any changes made. Congratulations on the new ride!

The KTM/HUSQ shop offered me their own kit for the forks. They have their own suspension dept. Any reviews on the rear shock?
