Carburetor Tuning:
Carburetors (especially Keihin FCR on SM models) can require periodic tuning and cleaning for optimal performance, particularly after changes in altitude or fuel quality.
Origins:
Founded in Sweden in 1903, Husqvarna is one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers, with a strong heritage in off-road racing (motocross and enduro).
2007 Context:
This generation represents Husqvarna's continued development of competitive four-stroke enduro (TE) and motocross (TC) platforms, alongside their popular supermoto (SM/SMR) variants derived from the same base.
Manufacturing Location:
Historically Sweden, but by 2007, production was primarily in Italy under the ownership of Cagiva Group.
Performance Accolades:
Husqvarna models from this era consistently received positive reviews in motorcycle publications for their performance capabilities in their respective segments (enduro, motocross, supermoto).
Reliability Reviews:
Generally considered reliable if properly maintained, with a focus on performance over extreme longevity compared to some Japanese counterparts. Specific reliability ratings not formally published.
Emissions:
Street-legal SM/SMR models would meet applicable emissions standards for their respective markets (e.g., Euro 3).
