    To mod, or not to mod (Husqvarna SM610)...

    So, the SM610 is getting magic Tricky Mike dust currently and I'm left with whether I want to go *apeshit* as my typical compulsions tell me to, or do something shocking, and completely unfamiliar... leave the b*tch alone.

    Modding would include at least for starters:
    -Slipper Clutch
    -Arrow full Ti system (found one cheap!)
    -Jet Kit
    -Reworked suspension

    Or... leave it alone.

    Discuss?

    I have been, I need the lights sorted before I can ride it (I mostly want to bomb around at night after work). And, well it's not technically registered yet, waiting on a Bill of Sale.... I DO need to either replace the dash with a Veypor, or get an OEM Husqvarna dash, as the one on there is useless and wouldn't come close to passing inspection.

    jet kit.. skip the exhaust and just remove the baffle from the stock can.
    slipper clutch is nice.
    Then wait for the explosion

    He'll do the opposite of whatever you tell him is the "correct" thing to do with it...

    so i say 2 things:

    1) track it

    2) don't crash it

    All you need is to Jet it, and get an off-set triple clamp to make it turn.

    I did some reading up on these, apparently people like to drill holes in the panel covering the air filter to help improve air flow.

    while you have the drill out, put a couple thru the crankcase...

    save time and gas money...
