2013 subframe

[phoenix]

My 2013 looks normal.

Ever uncrate a Husky? You could ship it upside down without issues.

My husband's Husky TXC 450 came is a stout wood crate. It was nice! The Gas Gas came in a cardboard box. lol.

Hmmm, I wonder if the Canadian shipments sat for a longer period of time in the crate...... Ill try to get the shop to look into a little farther, maybe pull one apart. Hate to be relocating frame tabs on a brand new bike. Thanks for the feed back.

I would not even consider that. If its that bad it should be replaced. If minor, go through it and figure it out. Loosen all the subframe hardware and try to position it straight, then retighten. I'd first check the silencer for a side load though.

I mounted my silencer and left number plate to the subframe with rubber mount instead of the aluminum spacers, the less load on those tabs in a crash the better.

Ive seen brand new 2012 xc200's, xc250's, and I own an ec300, and NOT ONE OF THEM IS STRAIGHT. Black mark for the manuf.

Mine is straight as an arrow, no issue at all.
