Husqvarna FS450 R | Making the Best BETTER

The Ultimate Supermoto build, Husqvarna FS450 R.
Think the 2021 Husqvarna FS450 will beat this? I think not.

Here is a crazy sick Husqvarna FS

[@fajarfahrudin6281]

The swingarm look so sick

[@jigglemore]

I think you should give the bike to me 😉 Not sure what other upgrades you can make but would love to see workshop videos of the engine swap!

[@BraappMalaysia]

Great video as always. 😁 greeting from Malaysia

[@hehexd69420]

Next step after engine: Get a new full carbon fiber chassis 😂

[@AudioFabric]

It would never work. Carbon fibre cannot flex like metal does. Flex characteristics are what give a bike great handling. Also the thickness of carbon fibre that will be required will make it mostly impossible to engineer the right tortional characteristics into the frame. It'll look amazing as a show bike but will handle like a school bus.

[@RapidRossi]

Hey, your videos on riding techniques are the best on youtube, easy to follow, could you do a video on trail braking please? :)

[@LIC1N]

Twin header custom or market bro?

[@julztry9797]

I am looking at buying an fs 450 and making it street legal. Hopefully it works

[@cr9169]

Add a Carbon fiber frame

[@kalle5218]

Yellow and blue graphics

[@bramnuttynck4013]

Nice bike

[@beardedcobra4898]

Then you will have anything swaped but the frame & plastics? 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 mabey yu only need to buy a frame then and can build a original fs again from the parts you have lying around 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@soorajsaikumar]

Heard like super motos are very hard to maintain, like every some hour you have to change oil or do a teack run or less it damages the engine etc etc correct me if im wrong

[@Peanutdenver]

It depends on the bike...the 701 Husky SM has more "street bike" like maintenance intervals, but the Husky FS 450 is the exact same bike as my FC 450 mx bike. So it will need maintenance after every race/weekend if you're competing at higher levels locally or in the AMA. I could go into greater detail if you need me to with specifics. Btw the Ducati Hypermotard is more like a "street bike" in terms of maintenance...it's a super supermoto if ya feel me. The original SM were basically enduro or mx bikes with different wheels, lights and a license plate slapped on them. Now we have manufactures making ready to race sm...and sm more friendly to the average rider who wants some of the capabilities of an original sm without having to pull the top end, change tires, etc after every weekend race. Hope this helps you.

More than the FS450 costs brand new. ;_;

It still weighs more than stock

@@michaelmckay is it? Do you have the specs of them?

[@Hemojang]

Hard to believe it’s heavier than stock, it’s mostly gone!

[@srrtbb]

I found the this swing arm online and on their website it is 4.6 kg. I didn't google how much stock arm weigh. But it can't weigt more than that.

[@davidlazzaro]

Great series, where is the next episode for the FS450R ?

[@Bazza.baz224]

After you swap the engine, the only thing left to do will be to remove the Husqvarna badging and rename it 'Bitsa'

[@fabzrustrider9838]

I love all this information thank you Mike 👍🏾🇬🇧💯

[@federico297]

Swap the front rim to a 16inch, the Michelin 16.5 is garbage compared to the 16. And put an MTR linkage, changing the linkage progression is useless without completely changing the internal setup of the shock, and the MTR linkage is the best you can buy for ktms and husqys (they just put Lukas Hollbacker on the 3rd place in the World Championship and they have years of experience in the Supermoto world championship) Oh yes, also put a 5inch rear wheel and use it with a Metzeler k1, only the tyre is 1kg lighter than the Michelin and it provides a ton more grip,only downsize, it's more unforgiving on the exit of the dirt section and on the dusty tarmac

[@jacquesevans1023]

Good info! I was considering trying the metzeler tyres. I recently switched to the 16” Michelin and much prefer it. What’s the metzeler front 16.5” like?

[@federico297]

@@jacquesevans1023 Metzeler made a new 16.5 for this year, they say it has the same feeling as the 17 but it's easier to use (the 17 is better than the 16 Michelin but you have to push really hard to use it properly, the 16 is far easier to use, even setting up the forks is easier with the 16). I would recommend the 16, here in Italy it's still the most used front rim (excluding who is sponsored by Metzeler, who uses the 17 mainly)

[@jacquesevans1023]

Fede Supermoto #297 I’ll order a set of metzeler front and rear tyres and compare on the same day with a 16” Michelin front. Thank you for the info

[@federico297]

@@jacquesevans1023 it's kinda hard to compare on the same day, every tire needs the proper setup with the suspension. It can be you're far off with the 16 but it works with the 16.5 or the opposite

[@jacquesevans1023]

Fede Supermoto #297 Yes very true. What pressures do you run the metzelers?

[@wieliewonka]

Tomasin has vortex ecu where sp quickshifter tip is directly plug and play Ad dual injection from them and mtr carbon ram Air system

[@c4pp3rides14]

Healtech Electronics got a lot of cool electronics like quickshifters, shiftlights etc. check them out they might have something you like. Im running their Quickshifter on my ktm 125 exc supermoto

[@candymuldowney9346]

That swing arm is strange looking. Can you go into more detail on it?

[@JoeySpanish75]

What do you think is the best upgrade if you can only pick one thing (just curious). And maybe you can buy bst carbon wheels for it, never seen that on a Supermoto. and do you really notice a power improvement of that double piped exhaust ? Looks cool, but does it work?

[@CriticalRider]

Anything done with engine internals? Air filter? Tuning? Cooling system?

[@peterngan339]

Hi what's the race sag about is goog for supermoto ? Because dirt always is around 95 ~105 .Thx

[@adamsudarman9630]

What name of "fork bottoms" for your mounting your caliper sir? I cant found on google..

[@nico40820]

What clutch will you use ? You can try to shave some weight wherever it's possible (carbon and billet bits ) , handlebar , plastic... A set of lighter screw and bolt would be nice too.

[@Astrix_Jaeger]

Well, if you got a chance some other time, I think you should race it.

Where can i buy the Spider linksystem?

[@zardportugal]

Wow.

[@JLG098721]

Do you have any lap times with and without the swingarm only

[@patrikkerttu623]

If you go full spec on engine I assume you go for GET/Vortex ECU as well. Also look into large air intake with double injectors. Check www.bergos.de/technik/motortechnik/sonstiges/3973/tuning-ansaugrohr-husqvarna/ktm?number=10603018

You have done so much to the bike. It’s all awesome, but you could have started with an MX bike and been at the same place for way cheaper. Or get a MX bike and put the FS parts on it for a rain/B bike.

Change to SELAB silicone grip cover, a seat cover made in Laxå Sweden, amazing grip many of the fastest Enduro rider in Swedish Championship use it.

[@Zwiepmoto]

You should definitely mount some decent axle sliders and a muffler protector. And if you like some footpeg sliders, they are required on some of our supermoto tracks here in Europe.

[@evanhall6493]

Carbon fiber frame!

[@kananisA75]

After the engine the only thing left is fine tuning really, and making the bike comfortable to you by adjusting the contact points (seat, pegs, grips, handlebar).
