Gregs 2002 FS650 project / rebuild.
Help Support Husaberg:
So engine stripped and we’ve got a different piston than the one we last saw!
Paint strip off the head and valve covers, frame back in with the powder coaters and hoping to make some good progress next week.
Using the Pryme MX wheels on a buffing machine to help clean up some tired parts!

So to keep the thread live for this bike i've got a little update!
Engine been stripped and checked by DCR (10mins from me) and by god did we have a list!
4 Bent valves
Main bearings gone
Big end bearing
Piston scored badly
As we can't get the valves for the old holds we've got a head of a 501 with 4 new valves, new piston, new mains and new big end. Frame is back from the powder coaters (RAL 5017) and we've got a rolling chassis with the engine in.
Order a chunk of parts from Taffy that arrived within 48 hours (great service) including a new N Style sticker kit! Picture below of current position!

Balls! To be fair was mid putting it back together when we realised and they didn't charge for the new head just kept my old one. Still has the KPMI springs that i believe he bought from you in it though.
Need to order a side stand spring from you but going to wait to see if i need anything else before i put the order in!
