Husaberg FE470 engine problem

ealfaro · November 11th, 2020, 06:15 AM

Hi
I have a Husaberg FE470 year 2001, my engine was knocking so I took it apart and I found the bearing in the rod/crank assembly is bad. I have been calling places that sell Husaberg parts and nobody have parts for this bike, anybody knows where can I buy parts for my engine?
Thank you

Taffy is going to be your best friend, where did you get the bike from?

yes, I have those. I could recommend a pin & bearing but the inside face of the rod will have gone on the outside 1/3rds at least so it is a rod kit for you.

100256 in the shop and 150gbp so that's about $190USD

Good, thank you, a mechanic is taking apart my engine at the end of the week so I can send you a photograph of what I have to make sure the one you have match mine.
I am in Phoenix Arizona USA

I bought the bike from some guy here in Phoenix Arizona I rode it 4 times in the desert with no problems and the 4th time I rode it started knocking really bad, then I bought a down end engine in ebay that was there for sale and the counter balance is not good so I am stock right know with 2 bad engines

I am just north of phoenix and have lots of berg knowledge if you need any help also, what is the chassis number?

Neither of you then will know Ken. Ken was a founding stalwart of this web site and helped organise the first three Force Rides. He can be found at a bodyshop in Phoenix. I need to find the name? Ken still has at least two bergs.

In 2005 or 2007 (i forget which?) Ken organised to give his FC470e to the founder of this web site; 'Json' AKA 'Schwimm'. He asked us all to chip in that could. Many including myself put in $100 but I think it stopped at 7-8 people which is a shame.

No I didn't buy the bike from Ken, a friend of mine is taking the engine apart this week so I will know what is wrong with it. But I would like to contact Ken later, Maybe he can help me.
Thank you
