I recently picked up an '07 SMR 510 from a friend of mine. I'm new to Huskies, and so far having a blast. From my understanding, they were carbed until '08? My '07 is EFI. Has anyone else heard of this, or can possibly tell me why? I'm finding that '07s are rare enough here in the US, but this is unheard of.
i would check vin for year and the title first, but its possible the EFI from a later model was added, why not? yes 2007s all had carbs , you can go the Halls site to look at parts catalogs and they even have vin codes in the front. http://www.halls-cycles.com/we-sell-accessories-and--parts-catalog
I appreciate that. It has a very clean title with 2 previous owners, all VINS match and everything seems kosher. I was thinking I could have been a late 2007. Anyway, thanks for the info. Makes it a bit more unique.
If your 07 has a throttle body instead of a carb then someone along the way may have transplanted engines. The diameter and bolt pattern of the intake boot area are different, and I believe they would also have had to add a stronger stator with more poles as came in 08 to support the additional draw of efi. Further, it'd have to be rewired to match the additional wattage output. Glad it works whatever type of hybrid it is.. I did the opposite, bought an 08 engine and converted her back to fit the carb on my 06 smr510. it would be cool to have found one released from the factory that way but I just doubt it that's all. Peace
