Conrod/cylinder sleeve

ruisantos · May 26, 2014

hi everyone,

I'm new here and hope anyone can help me. I'm desperate to find a connecting rod for my 2000 husaberg fe 400.where can I find one?
other question, I also need to coat the cylinder sleeve, should I do that or is easier/cheaper to buy one?

thanks for your answers,

Rui Santos.

Hi if you go here http://husaberg.org/service-manuals/17599-2000-husaberg-parts-manual.html

get the part numbers you need and search for them here

Munn Racing

select "OEM parts " in the search field and remove all dashes and spaces from the parts numbers

you can get a Pro_X rod and a cheaper hotrods rod for a ktm450rfs that is 119mm long whereas you have a 120mm long rod, and you will need to make a small bushing for the little end, so it will work but ....

03-6423 (119mm hotrods rod)

any good replating service can repair your liner as long as it is still nice and round.

good luck

Hello Ruisantos

Don't listen to him.

he doesn't know what he's on about as usual.

your rod is no longer available I'm afraid and the one mentioned above is for the year after yours and can't be fitted. even the option he gives you needs serious major re-working which isn't mentioned.

however, I do have a couple of options for you. PM me and I'll try and help.

Sorry to jack the Thread... But....

Are parts not available anymore for the pre 2009 Bergs??? What are other options for this?

Taffy · May 28, 2014

need to look at the photo Awesome

it is the photo of an engine with the water pump on the head

it is the last of the line, a 2000 model.

Taffy,

I have a 2008 Fe 550.... I can try posting a picture.. I am in no need of parts at the moment and maybe never will be as I only have approx 50 hours on the bike... But I do not want to be stuck with a dead bike if I need parts that are discontinued or the ones that are impossible to get... I searched in many places and no one makes a rod kit for this? Or am I just not looking in the right places.?

Again sorry for thread jacking

FWIW having found a few superseded "no longer available" 02 parts USA dealers have a lot in stock and there are many members on here with parts laying around who are keen to help

there is a BIG difference between actually "no longer available" and Taffy discovering he can't get a part anymore

it is always worth checking around because Taffmiesters is obviously NOT a US dealer

the 04 to 08 and the 70 deg berg parts are still all available from ktm /berg/husky dealers all around the world, if someone tells you they can't get something look elsewhere.

general ideas to help locate rods etc http://husaberg.org/mechanical/17827-aftermarket-custom-conrods-pistons-pins.html

again the guy above talks balls. he fails to tell you he identified the WRONG bike in the first place ir apologise for yet again making an ***** of himself.

here's the challenge

find a 400 OEM rod for a 2000 FE400 Husaberg.

as for your bike Awesome, I expect all parts tp be available until the end of 2008 and then they will drop off the radar completely I'm afraid. it will then be a case of cross-sourcing it.

finding stuff on the shelf and getting it from the factory are two different things and the guy above is just talking absolute drivel.

just about anything last used 10 years ago is dropped like a stone by KTM.

given that so much stuff from the 2008s can be used right back and yet nothing from 2009 onwards can: we'd best be writing to KTM but I think a conjoined action plan on UHE is doubtful.

I simply gave the OP some information to consider a way of figuring out what to do by himself.... he knows which model bike he has.

trying to push dodgy modified ill fitting aftermarket products as an "answer" to every question while showering unhelpful abuse all over the site because I suggest an alternative to spaffmeisters is getting old

yet another alternative is to get a pin and big end bearing from pro-x or another source and have carillo make you a carburised rod .. rod approx $319, pin and bearing approx $60

http://www.pro-x.com/downloads/technical.pdf

wossner have very detailed piston catalog if you're looking for pistons specs

http://wossneronline.com/2014_wossoner_motorcycle_pistons_catalog.pdf

and both CP and JE do custom pistons at a very reasonable price

it might seem like Im being harsh on "poor old Taffy" but as he continues to refer to me as an arsehole with no idea I have no issue offering an alternative to purchasing parts from him

Taffy · May 29, 2014

no, you got it wrong again and again you can't hold your hands up and say it. you clearly didn't get it right.

let's be clear: I am throwing mud back. i don't think my worst critic would ever say I started this abuse, you deserve it all - and more.

whether it is poor jetting advice or poor rod selection - you're the man

so GFY (and it isn't 'good for you')

anyone who has to find an old ebay sale from two years ago to get a neutral response has lost it.

to those looking in, a neutral response sounds poor but to those that are half+ mechanics they know the vassitudes of engines mean that a jetting kit needs a few brain cells to fit and a few more to make the bike run right before you even fitted it.

a jetting kit is biought by people with leaking valves, blocked jets, tappets tight, cams with no lobes and tuliped valves.

you though know this so whereas from anyone else this might be an acceptable thought (oh dear it doesn't work) from him it is mud slinging of the worst kind and just scrapping around in the bottom of the barrel. you changed the subject becAUSE YET AGAIN YOUR JETTING ADVICE WAS WRONG.

I always try and have a valid argument not this nausiating mud slinging for the sake of it.

your aim as you pointed out so many times was to phuq my business up. perhaps you should have mentioned that to Zen when you came back.

compatibility

thanks for the help, i'm getting desperate to find the conrod for my bike.here's a pic of mine.
another question, the conrod of the ktm400 of same year compatible with mine?

bushmechanic · May 29, 2014

LOL

the initial Abusive text in these threads never come from me, difference of opinion yes but not the abuse.

this is the only bike forum on the net Ive seen where where abusive posts and obscene personal attacks are not deleted immediately

poor old taff you are phuquing up your own business with abusive posts like that

Rui I posted some leads for you in your other thread.

Taffy · May 30, 2014

let's be clear about this, you have come back here and attacked my business in every manor from the start.

unlike you, just discussing what i do is an attack on what I do. to attack you it has to be about you and your ideas. all you have to do is talk about 'somenone'.

the moderators allowed you back to throw lies up about my business and they aren't in a position to say whether what you say is right or wrong.

you pretend thT YOUR HERE ONLY TO HELP OTHERS BUT INFACT AS YOU ORIGINALLY SAID: YOU HAVE ANOTHER MISSION.

and just for your info business is VERY good and I have gone from being on my own to employing two staff and two part time staff as well.

bushmechanic · May 30, 2014

No No that deluded fantasy is in your head Taffy

My aim is not and has never been to ruin your business, and I have never posted as such, you have created that delusion all by yourself. I do point out when your products do not do what you say they will .. that is all. that is not an attack or any lie its is merely statement of fact.. ie valve spring specifications.

explaining an alternative course of action or suggesting an alternative vendor to a new member is not an attack, a difference of opinion is not an attack ..

abusive language and obscenities directed at another member is an attack.

I WILL NOT and CANNOT BUY anything from Taffy so for me to help someone it is simply all I can do to explain an alternative to Taffys products

that is not an attack!

if Taffy can stop the abuse and obscenities toward me i will respond by not giving him as hard a time but this has to be on a thread by thread basis

the problem has always been Taffy's abuse and foul behavior, I only ever respond to that abuse .. its VERY simple.

I don't care what you decide to do mate Im not going anywhere and i find your abuse quite entertaining.

general consensus though is that the site members don't deserve to have to read the abusive self centered crap you post every time you disagree with me by default

Blunny · Jun 2, 2014

geezuz fellas.....
Taffy, C.T.F.D. (as you seem to like acronyms: calm the f down) and get over it.
I have read your and Bushy's posts in this thread, he is not attacking you.

Yep, there are other alternatives to genuine or "refurbished" genuine parts. Genuine is great if you can get it but aftermarket can sometimes offer a better product. I can see that one fella wants to protect his business interest but am also happy other guys are looking for alternatives cos these bits aren't gunna be around forever!

These guys obviously have other issues with each other of which i dont know the slightest about and therefore cannot comment on. From a third party perspective it does seem fairly one sided on the abusive side.

I feel for the fella that just wants to know where he can get a rod for his bike!

me too!

and here is one answer

thumper racing, Travis does machining and crank rebuilds in house and has contacts with carillo to get a rod with the right dimensions ...basically a ktm560 stroker rod, Im sure he can organize whatever is needed for the pin and bearing as well.

akshun · Jun 3, 2014

I was interested in one of their 610 kits for my 570 when it was apart, read good things about those guys! Fortunately for my back pocket Husaberg Australia came through with the replacement parts i needed so she went back together stock which was unfortunate for my need to always go bigger when i can! I can say that the next time it needs to come apart i will definitely be on the phone to them!

zaga · Jun 4, 2014

Hi

I'm sure by now Rui has stop reading this thread and went somewhere else looking for a rod for his bike.

Cheers
ZAGA

Taffy · Jun 4, 2014

I don't think that the rod is 125mm C to C Rui? I think it is 125mm?
