    Hello all, I recently purchased my first Husky at an auction. It's a 2012 Te511 with 19k miles.

    I don't know when the last tune ups of any kind were done. So I will change the oil, the coolant looks fine. Anything else Recommended?

    Also,

    When its in neutral and the clutch is out it makes a rapid knocking noise, when I pull in the clutch that sound goes away. A friend said that was normal. Just thought I'd ask the pros!

    I heard the valves should be adjusted every 5k. How can you tell if it needs to be done?

    Thanks for your time! Hope all is well. Excited about riding

    -Kenny

    I have the smr511. I'd say if you don't have the Zipty breather mod and oil recirc kit, you should get both if you plan on a lot of wide open throttle riding.

    Oh, yeah. BELIEVE it. Yes, it's car oil, yes it's been thoroughly tested, and here's the best part. It's CHEAP! I just picked up an extra 5 qt. jug last week from Wal-Mart for $23.88.

    Wow, I thought it said 1.9k miles when I first read it. I think that's a record or something.
