I've had excellent service from my local (80 miles away)dealer.The thing I like is that they are a "race" shop in that they usually have common parts on hand.My local jap "superstore" doesnt carry squat,and the spodes behind the counter dont know a muffler bearing from a power valve linkage.Kind of a bummer when you have to special order a clutch lever.Anyway,I get parts shipped to my door in one day for $8.00! Cant beat that when you factor in driving time/gas prices! If you cant obtain a needed part locally go to husqvarnausa.com under dealer locater and you have a listing,by state, of all husky dealers w/phone#s at your finger tips.I've heard my dealer is the largest in the nation,(217)789-0107 or www.halls-cycles.com.The only compaint I have is no source for radiator gaurds,havent broke mine but would buy em if i could find em.Also prices on most things have been fairly reasonable,have heard some horror stories about certain ktm parts prices.Break up the sea of orange pumpkins,buy the hoosky,I love mine!
