2009 Husqvarna SM510R

SM 510R – HUSQVARNA. The Husqvarna SM 450 R and SM 510 R have seen some quite radical changes reflecting the experience gained from wins on world championship supermotard tracks.

Husqvarna engineers concentrated on the frame to make both models even lighter and easier to handle. To achieve this, the frame is of a completely new design with new levels of rigidity and settings for dealing with power that optimise handling and give the rider a much better feel for the bike. The frame is also one kilo lighter than before.

New 2009 graphics adorn the white racing number panels on the sides and the new headlamp unit that houses the smaller, lighter digital display is also white. The front mudguard is also new. The new look of the bike is both eye-catching and different. Still on the subject of looks, the wheels are black anodised Excel rims and the new plastic engine protectors on both sides are also black.

The newly designed side stand is made of forged aluminium. The engine has a new over-pressure valve in the oil circuit, a new needle cage lubrication bearing and a new oil filter. The exhaust valves are made of steel to ensure longer life and reliability. The gearbox has been renewed to offer improved gear change speed and accuracy.

Gearbox design has seen changes in terms of: gear change linkage, lever and selector mechanisms. The 450 and 510 engines have also benefited from a new timing gear chain tensioner that was introduced to improve chain tension and reduce contact pressure. The exhaust system has twin aluminium silencers that create a very special sound, reduce overall noise levels and improve performance.

The SM510R evolves for 2009 with the addition of a new twin silencer exhaust system and a new slim line digital dash. The core of the bike stays true to form: super responsive, fuel injected twin cam engine, sub 120kgs dry weight and powerful Brembo brakes all combine to make the SM510R one of, if not the most hardcore road legal Supermoto bikes you can buy today.
