Has to be the 2010****************************************

Why the 2010? Are they all the same frame from 06-14?

 

[boomhauwer]

2010 have better front forks.

 

[roj0000]

Dose the 2010 have better forks than the 11-13?

Get the newest best bike u can. 2010 had kokusan ignition n no thermostat. 2011+ had Ducati ignition n thermôstat

The general consensus is that as long as it says husqvarna on it somewhere, you're going to get a great bike.

No, the KYB OC forks are very good and easy to get parts and accessories for. Also very well known and easy to get modded, if necessary.

Ok. so what years have the KYB forks? Are the shocks the same all years? and did the frames ever change form year to year?

 

[NCSteve]

Some specs here but a lot of mistakes too http://www.motorcycledb.com/Motorcycle_Manufacturer/Husqvarna/3964
Searching and reading here in the 2t forum will answer all your questions. I think the WRs got the KYB forks in 2011, also the somewhat dreaded Ducati digital ignition. Shocks are all Sachs, but may have different spec's from year to year, idk.
Frames changed @ 2010

Shocks n frame the same. Xlite/125/450/510 got new frame 09
Kyb in 2010(zokes 09 n earlier)
Ducati 2011(kokusan 2010 n prior)

I am quite attached to my 2006 but it's got an Ohlins out back and custom valved 2014 TC 449 front end with updated brake and rotor, a ZipTy Shark fin/caliper mount and big rotor in the rear, and a Gnarley pipe with TC2. BRP triple with Scotts stabilizer and updated plastics/graphics. Other than that, it's bone stock motor-wise and dead reliable.

That's not much help, but just a different perspective if you will.
