bike is sitting at 15.300km right now. Due to my all keys being in the same chain small scratches happened on the tank and the plastic in front of it. Does anyone have a fix for this? where can I get the paint for the tank? and polish would be enough for the plastic?

Thinking of getting a full exhaust reroute to increase ground clearance but the heat issue that made Husqvarna route it underneath looks like a big con since the radiator fan already blows hot air to the left leg at stops.
I saw some youtuber use exhaust pipe wrap, but many are recommending against it since it can be ugly over time and cause moisture damage.
I saw this frame covers online and thought it might help directing airflow to the rear rather than to the sides. But I could really use anyone's experience or opinion here.

My husky shows I should useE5/E10 fuel next to the fuel tank. The owners manual recommend DIN EN 228 (ROZ 95) which is also a European standard.
I read that the Australian fuel ratings are different from the EU standards, and there is no E5 in Australia, Only E10, 91, 95, and 98 ratings.
I've been using E10 since the name matches and I read it's environmental friendly at the cost of performance/mileage.
What is closest to E5 in Australia in case it has better performance/mileage/engine longevity? Wondering if I should be using the 95 or 98 rated fuel.

Guy pulled up from behind me right after I scolded a tremendously shite car driver. Was a quick turn around from being pissed off at dangerous drivers to being met by another Husky rider!
Two huskies side by side on the streets of London was a pretty cool moment. Like big brother and little brother lol.
Think he said it was an OG 701 Vitpilen and he'd fitted a thumping Akrapovic Exhaust. Beautiful machine.
It's a shame, I actually took delivery of a Leo Vince LV10 this week but haven't had time to fit it yet but that would've been perfect haha.

Yesterday I took her out of the garage for the first time since november and I just found this scratch on the tank… I tried to eliminate it in anyway possible but it won’t go away ?
Do you have any suggestion? ????

Does anyone have the wind deflector installed? Does it work? Is it a lot, a little, or none of the difference? I'm thinking of buying one.

Just recently moved to Seattle. When the sun peaks through the clouds in the PNW, you have to capitalize on that. Loving this killer little bike. Be safe out there friends.

When having a bit of fun I typically shift up just after the shift light (8250rpm?) but lately have really enjoyed staying in gear further out of the corners. Just wondering where our bikes redline is and when does the limiter kick in?
