2013 TE 449 question ??

Is the new 2015 350 or 501 worth twice the money as a used 2013 TE with 300 miles on it ?? I would like to buy this bike but have concerns that I will have regrets. Pro's/Cons

There are many mixed reviews about the 511.
Really depends on what you want to use it for.
I am still loving my 2012. Lots of hard trail miles and it is yet to let me down.

I'd say the 449 is the better deal by far. The biggest known problem- which only affects a small population of the engines apparently, is the "loose flywheel bolts" which can destroy your stator. Easily solved... do a search here.

The oil breather systems needs some mods or you'll be pushing oil out the airbox. again: do a search and become informed.

My kid's 511 is a rocket ship. If you get the 449, a pipe, a map change (and maybe an aftermarket ecu "interpreter" by JD or Power Commander) will make it a hard runner. The motor seems solid & reliable; the ergos are good and it looks great. I will say that I find the "no key" ignition a little off-putting for some reason. But hell, half the cars sold nowadays are the same way

good luck.

Tks. That's my thoughts.

No race here Just want something with enough power to haul my old fat 200lb butt around the passes in the Rockies
and yet be light enough that it doesn't kill me when it fall on me.

My oil recirculation kit and Powercomander 5 mod transforms the 449/511 into a completely different machine.

They're a great machine.
Any of the 'issues'mentioned above can be solved without spending much money at all and if you're handy on the tools you do it all yourself simply.
There are DIY threads here for curing the flameouts (if any)
the breather issue, removing the second butterfly for better throttle response etc.
If that's not your thing, yes there's the commercial fixes too.

I'm at 200 hrs as of the last ride and haven't been inside the cases. All of them offroad.
Put the extra money in your pocket!

Just curious what they are asking for a used 13 449

Just bought it this am. $4,800.00

Ok I have the bike bought. Won't get it until Oct 14th. I have Rox risers here and Oxford adventure heated grips on the way. I'm looking for some larger pegs. Would like them a bit longer as well as a little wider. Any input???

I have peg extenders for them.

You are the MAN !!! Looks like when my bike gets here I just as well just give you my CC # for you to put on file.

We were the factory race team for Husqvarna and still under contract today. So we did quite a bit of R&D for these bikes.

Take a look here:

Thats a good deal. I have the same bike , you will love it

I always hate showing numbers but I feel fall and early winter is the best time to buy.

I now have the bike. Have no time on it yet. It shows "race ll" on the display. I assume that's the map that's in it. Is this good bad or what. It has the stock exhaust it that plays into things.
I plan on using the bike to bum around on jeep trails etc so don't need major power.
Any input ??
