So.. long time follower and reader.
Engine Nr: 1054383 / 220067 1999-2003
Bike: YU7FC5K94Y0000165
I am changing piston on a 00 mod Husaberg 501.
Timing chain was new when I bought it, so was planning on reuse it for season.
This is the engine type where you don't have to split the engine to change the piston.
BTW: do anyone have the spesific maintainance manual for 501? Only found older and newer versions.
When I asssembled it, the chain was a couple of mm to short. No chance of getting it in the correct chain position. boggled my mind a bit, as it fitted before I changed the piston.
Mabe the gaskets made the distance longer? I don't know. But need some constructive inputs, easyest to just install new and longer chain?
