#1: Twed's track slag Author: twed207, Location: borders, near carlisle.Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:29 pm ---- OK, it's not a car but it's been a bit of a project to get it going... lol. dont think i've posted it up on here...
i've got myself a husky now...
picked it up at the start of April. 2005 husqvarna SM510R. 5200 miles, full history, new tyres and just had the top end checked out and a new 6th gear.
what an absolute beast it is! it's about 30-40kg lighter than my KTM 640 and it's more powerful too! it goes like the clappers! lol.
after riding it for a few days i found it had a couple of problems...
was running funny, think the jetting was off abit and it had no electrics so turned out to be a faulty altenator and broken flywheel. dropped the oil and took it to bits to find 4th gear missing a tooth! lol engine came out and went to a angine builder and i took the whole thing to bits and got the frame powder coated put it all back together in the nic of time for a big track weekend!
pics...
the broken bits.
and the strip down...
half a litre of itallian stallions! lol
got the frame powder coated in blue then started building it back up...
nearly done!
finshed! took me a couple of evenings worth of work to get it done but got there in the end.
then done the flid fest track weekend and the bike performed like a dream! soo much quicker than my old KTM bus.
then i crashed it on the last session of sunday. though there was no damage but i cracked the flywheel casing and twisted the steering. steering was an easy fix and i used some chemical metal to cover the leak on the casing.
one from my last trackday at teesside.
cant wait to race it next year!
thanks for looking.
stu. xx
