2024 HUSQVARNA FE501W FIRST LOOK WALK AROUND
Ойын-сауық
a look at the all new 2024 Husqvarna FE501W which is the next generation model of the FE501
KTM has four versions of it's headlight equipped off bikes
two are street legal: KTM 500 EXCF, Husqvarna FE501S
tow are off road only: KTM 500 XWF, Husqvarna FE501w
the main difference between these are the plated bikes have street legal equipment like brake light, turn signals, horn, mirrors while the off road bikes lack these.
we offer kits to add those components to seek a plate in some states
if you have any questions about this bike or anything we offer please don't hesitate to reach out

Guess you’re right
I'm with you on the linkage. That's the #1 reason I'll always have a hard time getting rid of my 2011 KTM-300xc as it was the last year KTM had pds on it's 250,300xc models. It's do for a top end rebuild but it's still stone reliable! I'm just a shade over 6' tall but at 53 yrs. old i'm having a tough time flat footing my old 300xc so when I purchase a street & trail bike it just may have to be the Husqvarna FE-501s. I've read were they sit a tiny bit lower than the KTM 500exc-f so with a aftermarket low seat + I believe it would be easy to slightly lower the rear shock due to the linkage.
Great video and thank you for sharing. Do you ever have any starting issues from cold. Getting the s model this Tuesday but I heard some stories about starting the bike is a pain???
BTW I wonder how you can use whole fuel in the tank when fuel pump is located in so awkward place...
Nice! What is the service interval in 2024 models?
Torque values - love it! Wish these and the KTM equivalent could be plated in Canada.

The map, traction control and quick shifter switch might be available in North America. I was at a KTM dealer in British Columbia yesterday and they had a 2024 500 exc six days there and it had the switch.

Hey Mike what do you think about the fact that the fuel pump is located so high in the tank. How we gonna get the fuel from the lower part of the. tank at the bottom. Reduced range?

Does anyone have a solution to the major fuel pick up issue on these bikes yet?
No quickshifter and map switch kinda sucks. I assume they are still on the dual sport model though??

I'm curious if the subframe can be swapped on a 23 model to the new style.

Is the transmission the same as the previous year 500 in terms of gear ratio 5th gear in particular?
@garthlundquist3623

No. All KTM/ Husky bikes now use the same 6 speed box, based on the 300 2T transmission. The exception is the 150 and smaller bikes. The new tranny has a first gear between the old XC and XCW, and even spacing all the way up. No big gap between 5th and 6th. The new Pankl built box is excellent: I have it on my 2024 TE 300.

Good point Let’s do that in an upcoming video
Blue with sparkles! 😂 I mean, how can one pass up on that?! Waiting on my 24 501S to arrive! If the pump is higher in the tank, then what about the fuel that is below that? Is that fuel even considered usable?

@TACOMOTOCO Great! I just got my 2024 501s yesterday. Now time for some of that taco hot sauce!
KTM also has alu subframe, linkage is easily covered and protected by proper e.g. acerbis skid plate. I prefer linkage better. The reason this bike is all new I went with 2023 FE 2023, don't want to be KTM beta tester LOL Dude, all emission stuff should be taken off.

i wonder how much weight all the pollution and computer/electronics/battery weigh?
Bummer on the map switch info. Just picked up a 24exc-f 2weeks ago. Dealer called me last week and said the map switch is in. Sounds like I wasted money buying a switch.

You called it. Picked up the map switch today. All the lights came on the switch. Couldn’t change anything. Dealer is looking into it.
Are these street legal or can they be turned into a street legal bike ?

The W doesn’t have a street legal title However, if your state allows for conversion of a dirt bike into a street bike then you can seek a plate
For the love of God! It’s not Husq “a” varna! There’s no “a” between the q and v of the word Husqvarna…. Sorry I had too… sweet bike!! Keep up the good work! I really like my FE350.
