Husaberg pre2000

Hi to all Husaberg owners,

I was wondering how many "old school Husabergs " are out there in the world. Like wich type and in wich country they are. And how you got to this particular bike(s)

So guys, show them to the forum members and the visitors of this site.
My 1990 FE 501 is restored now, except for the original decals. :-(

So "lets hear it" for the old Bergs.

Grtz Rens

I my 2000 (not old enough?) FE501 is still good as gold it's located in Norway

Hey Sketvjingen,
Age, as for people, is not a problem
Thanks for youre entry to this topic.

ps: nice bike you have!

Hi Rens

Most of the guys here still have one older Berg in the shed.

Anyway in a few years all bergs will be old

Cheers
ZAGA

Hi ZAGA,
Well i am just curios to see these " old party animals ", and to see in what shape they are in.
As for age,in 25 years the youngest Husaberg will be 25 years old, because some guy decided to quit
the name Husaberg and rename it Husqvarna.

Grtz Rens

Are the only older Husabergs out there,only the one from Skjetvingen and me?
What about you Zaga? Can we look in your shed?
Come on guys show them please!!!

1997 FX 600E. When its done it will be street legal with the large tank. Should be ready to test in a few more weeks.

Luv the oldies !

Hi Husabutt,
Thanks for the reply.
And because of the photo's you posted,we can see that is real good example of a pre 2000 bike.
Some serious restoring you're doing, that makes me
Keep us posted will you?

Its off a 98-99 FR Model I believe. It was also sold by Husaberg as an accessory.


It supposed to hold a whopping 24.5 litres / 6.5 U.S. gallons.

I also have an accessory Husaberg right side number plate gas tank that holds a gallon.

That's 52.5 lbs of fuel.

I don't know where I'll be going but I probably won't run out of gas.

Hi Zaga,
I think that your situation is very normal for dirtbike owners
Therefore i feel right at home

Cheers Rens

Hi Husabutt
This fuelbomb is overhere in Holland not really necesarry, because a typical enduro course is about 45 miles long and has 2 possibilities to fuel your bike.
These 2 points are also timechecks, therefore the standard fueltank is enough to come around

Thanks for the info

Cheers Rens

somebody here to have a look at a nice twenty-year-old swedish girl?

Hi to all,

because it's my first post here at husaberg.org first I want to introduce myself. My Name is Oliver, I'm 49 years old and live in the middle of Germany about 100kms away from Frankfurt. Hello to all of you!

Now back to the real essentials.
In summer 1994 I decided to get a follow-up for my Yamaha TT350 with more force. I knew that my capacity for suffering is very high so it should be a Husaberg. But the hunting was very difficult, finally I could choose between a brand new '94 FE350 or a used '94 FE501, both for the same price of 10.000DM (now about 5.000EUR). Waiting for the '95 model was not an option because of the very high price of 14.500DM. I bought the Husaberg in December 1994 from a rider who joined the European- and German Enduro Championship. The bike is a works-edition, exclusively prepaired for these kind of competitions, that's also the reason for the mounted pre '94 rear subframe. In 1995 and 1996 I joined the ADAC-Enduro-Rallye-Cup with only one breakdown - the carb-needle was broken by vibrations. In 1997 the bike was reconditioned with a new piston and bearings, at the same time the colour of the frame was changed from yellow to blue. After the reconditioning in 1997 the bike was only rarely used to check if it's still runnig till 2006. Between 2006 and 2014 the bike was parking in my barn under a bedsheet, I don't know why but this summer I took her out of the barn and removed the dust, after a carb cleaning and fresh fuel the engine starts up. There are still some things to fix, but I could get the mot and registration to use it now street legal.

During the months of winter the frame will be repainted in yellow to get the '94er colour set back. Aditionally the rear fender will be swapped into a baja fender, maybe also the Acerbis-HP headlight will be swapped into a Elba 1.

I have also contacted the pre-owner, he is now the chief marketing officer of Husaberg Germany. He was really surprised to see his old '94 bike in such a good condition and reminded me to take good care of her.

Greets Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for your entry in pre 2000 arena.
As we can see that is a very fine example of Husaberg, please be careful with the girl, she absolute worth it!!!
I looking foreward to how the rebuild, restoration goes, so keep us posted.
Spareparts are a bit of a problem, but you're at the right adress to find help, so if needed let's hear it.

Gruss Rens

Hi to all,
As promised some ''then and now''photo's of my oldie.:happy:
The only thing not original is the handlebar as for the rest she's completly original.

Grtz Rens

p.s.The only thing missing is the stickerset so far,if i get the set ofcourse new photo's will be posted.

Excellent restoration. Did you purchase new plastic or restore the original? It looks like it is street legal but does not have turn indicators (blinkers).

Great job !

those old 'Bergs are so COOL

Hi Husabutt,
Thanks for the compliment, i did my best.
As for the plastic, it's original because the blue acerbis plastic isn't available anymore, well maybe new old stock but i didn't find anything.
What also important te me is the fact to keep the bike as original as possible.
To youre remark if it's streetlegal? yep,it is allowed to use our arms as indicators

Grtz Rens

p.s. Make sure that youre arms are long enough

Hey Tourist,
Youre absolutly right,they are COOL, but you know what? Taking care of this oldie gave me a warm feeling

Grtz Rens

I like that large speedometer with the original mount attached to the handlebar clamps. Perhaps in the future (when the gallery is back up and running) you could take some close ups.

Hi Husabutt,
Sure no problem i think i have about 100 photo's and ofcourse some close ups from the restoration.
In time they will follow for sure.

Grtz Rens
