Husqa upgrade po Bosne (Valda a syn v Bosně)

Main summary

Key takeaways

Technology

Tech / Product Upgrades and Problem-Solving Mentioned

Intercoms for Father/Son Riding

  • Valda uses an Interphone ER1X helmet intercom system.
  • He uses it specifically to call/relay route information to his dad during riding.
  • Benefit: hands-free communication during technical segments.

Husqvarna 701 (LR / Overheating) Fan Failure During Off-Road

  • The bike kept running, but the radiator fan failed (initially, it wasn’t obvious that the engine or fans were physically damaged—rather, the fan stopped working).
  • Symptoms:
    • In hot conditions, the bike overheats quickly
    • Temperature rises to near red
  • Discussion focus:
    • Troubleshooting the fuses, relays, and control logic

Fan Wiring / Relay Logic Troubleshooting

  • Key insight: even if a relay seems “hard-wired,” it may still be evaluated/controlled by the ECU/control unit.
  • A suggested approach exists that uses a more manual bypass method (e.g., referencing the radiator sensor to verify fan operation), but the video’s point is:
    • Fan behavior is governed by the ECU/control unit, not just a simple power feed.
  • Practical workaround tested:
    • Force power to the fan via the relay / battery positive to confirm that the fan itself responds.

Root Cause They Found

  • In high temperatures, an internal component (described as a “hook” that can melt) can contribute to overheating behavior.
  • The major riding-time failure mode:
    • Fan seizure (“if the fan bites you, you’re screwed”)—especially when riding hard in heat.

Upgrade: Replacing the Radiator Fan with a Larger Cooling Fan

  • They ordered a larger fan intended for compatible Husqvarna models (referenced around 701 LR).
  • Reported results:
    • About 30% more airflow/cooling
    • Replacement is plug-and-play, including:
      • Same mounting interface/pins
      • One main screw
      • Matching Husqvarna-branded connectors
  • Outcome: the new fan fixes the recurring overheating issue.

Airbox / Intake Upgrade (Turtle Punks)

  • They install an airbox/intake component from Turtle Punks.
  • Fitment notes:
    • The airbox piece fits well overall
    • Only the top portion is matched to the original airbox
  • Claimed performance/behavior changes:
    • Smoother low-end response
    • Avoids the bike “choking” or feeling like it doesn’t want to pull at lower revs
    • More natural RPM progression, especially around the pull where a rider typically needs a clean response
  • Integration/plans:
    • Turtle Punks’ website reportedly provides technical parameters (including claimed power/behavior changes)
    • They plan to map it to match exhaust manifold compatibility

Optional Future Upgrade

  • They look forward to installing Hellstormy 35 Enduristan gear/parts (subtitles suggest an accessory mounting system).
  • They discuss ensuring there is a mounting hole/plate so it won’t require removing everything.

Review / Tutorial Takeaways Emphasized

Fan Swap Tutorial (Including Troubleshooting Logic)

  • Covers:
    • Symptoms: overheating + fan not spinning
    • Electrical considerations: fuses/relays/ECU control
    • Installation: clear physical step-by-step process and compatibility details
  • Includes an on-bike observation:
    • noticeable airflow increase

Intake / Airbox Upgrade “Review”

  • Emphasizes the riding feel change:
    • improved low-RPM smoothness and pull
  • Notes the importance of pairing intake changes with:
    • mapping
    • exhaust/compatibility considerations (e.g., manifold fit)

Intercom Setup Use Case

  • Highlighted for long technical rides:
    • staying coordinated and sharing/receiving route guidance hands-free

Main Speakers / Sources
