    Guys, I"m assuming most of you are in the USA but for the few hosers that are in Canada or in my case BC. I've spoken to two dealers and they both are forecasting Feb 2017. Both dealers said this information came straight from their Husqvarna rep.

    Could be we're all hosers. I imagine they only want to do one bike for North America.

    I guess eh. Hey do you have any experience with TPS tuning on the FE 501? I've been looking at getting either the TPSTool.com or the BDS TPS Tuner.

    Oh yeah, that's right. The 250 is supposed to be quite the machine.

    There's rumors on Ktm talk that Ktm might have to end up redesigning the fuel tanks on the exc's just to comply with California and or EPA standards. Excs are usually always available late July early August every year and my dealer told me he "thinks" maybe March. Holy crap. Feel sorry for people who put deposits down. Moths ago.

    We just got off the phone with our Husky rep; while that may or may not be true for KTM (it's happened before for them), that is NOT TRUE for the Huskys. :)

    Thankfully. :cheers: Really can't wait to hear about some good news for the FE's and 501. I'm okay with the wait its just the never ending news of delays and possible problems. A official review from anywhere in the world would be awesome.

    I just know that if I don't get my Husky soon I could easily die of serious withdrawal complications....getting weaker...

    Guys, it's comments like this that raise my blood pressure. Please talk me down off the ledge. :lol:

    I will say this, a warning to everyone. DO NOT BUY A STREET LEGAL BIKE UNLESS IT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP, AND THE SUSPENSION WORKS OUT OF BOX. If you don't heed that advice, be prepared to spent a minimum of $2,000 to get the bike to run right, and lose a few months of your life playing bike tuner.

    My 2015 fe350s was a huge mistake! I finally have it running right, but I'm into that bike in a big $$$ way. Maybe 8k? Meanwhile, I got a 2016 fe450 NON s....and the bike rocks right out of the box and got it plated EASILY.

    Hear me now, or pay later...

    I wouldn't touch a 2017 Husky/KTM until I'm convinced they run right, don't have big problems. I was going to get a 2017 TE300 or 450/500, and one 2016 model. Instead I just bought 2 2016 bikes to compliment the 2015 I have.

    Dealer told me yesterday that he has been invoiced for my 2017 FE450...meaning imminent delivery in 10 to 14 days. BUT, they are still awaiting the go-ahead on the mapping before the EPA will provide "unlocking" codes to the dealer.
    At least I'll be able to see it :)

    I've seen a 17 FC450. It feels lighter than my 250 2 stoke. Motor is very compact. Seems pretty cool to me.

    FE 501's I heard have arrived in the US at some locations. Albeit they are in crates and need to be prepped for pick up. Canada I'm not sure of ETA but I'm assuming in the coming weeks hopefully.

    Hey guys, has anyone figured out or ordered the 2017 Husqvarna FE 501 Easy Fit Under Fender tail light (brake) with tighter signal lights or slimmer signal lights. The stock signal lights and rear brake light with plate holder are horribly ugly.

    Please tell me someone has figured out this modification upgrade? I emailed SICASS but haven't heard back so was hoping the husky forum would be in the loop?~!~~

    from my experience on the previous generation bodywork, I would think an underfender from a 17 TE should bolt right up which streamlines the taillight issue. add some flush mount signals e.g. sicass, and a license plate bracket, and tail tidy complete. Thats how I did my 15 501s. The TE underfenders even have bolt holders molded into the plastic on the underside that line up perfectly with the license plate bracket. If your dealer has a 17 TE on the floor, take a look at the underfender...

    Super good advice. Thank you. I will look into that as an option. I was talking to some husky owners and they said in 2016 they used this system. What do you think?
