>>1285128Also check out the husky 701 enduro.
I'm honestly debating between this or a 990. And the 701 may be a better fit for what I do.
>but my dealer carries ktm, doesn't carry husky>>1286244>Don't know two shits about working on them if they break down in the back country.>Where do I start to learn?Hook up with other guys that ride the same brands/styles as you do. Racers will usually know their way around an engine pretty well, and when you've got the basic skillset down, small engines are really all the same. Couple of key things to watch for, lots of little tips/tricks through the process, and some of it's just a matter of getting in there and doing shit.
I had no experience with engine repair when I got into powersports. Started riding with guys who used to race, when I had issues they helped me work through them. Now I don't hesitate to split the crankcase on a small engine.
