Hi ! New Husky owner here, and new to the forum. I've been reading though the posts and threads regarding this bike. Got a few questions, and some things are still a little unclear. (Impressed by this forum btw).
Purchased a 2011 TE-511 in good shape with 6000km on the clock for about 6000 US$$ , including original SMR511 wheels (with custom made spacer to make them fit).
I want (or need) to purchase the oil filter cover from zip-ty[1] as the previous owner has hard-tightened the cover and its impossible to get off. Who knew metall can be this soft ?? Even when being extra careful and attempting all useful tricks, the nut is now rounded.

Like the price, but shipping to scandinavia is a whopping 140$$ , thats unheard of!! Are there any other retailers who sell this? I have not been able to locate any shops that have the other one [2] , i've checked everywhere, even eBay..

Would also be nice if the same shop sells new oil-mesh-screws aswell (the 17mm nuts) and a new alu-fuel cap.
Question nr 2: Regarding oil , yes i have understood that there are issues resulting in the oil being pushed up the air filter (i've noticed this as well), but not all of us are interested in installing extra breather kits. As people say different things, how much oil to you fill specifically, 1L ?
My last filling resulted in the oil being a little over "Halfway" in the sight glass cold (1-2mm visible when on side stand). Should be okay right? I haven't fired her up after oil change yet because i need to change the filter, and order a new stock mesh-filter as one of the stock PLASTIC-oil-mesh-filters broke... (barely touched it i swear!)
Other than that, great forum! I'll be riding my husky through the winter, will be exiting to see how she handles the weather.
