05 fe650 blowing smoke

If the oil is over full you can get a little oil into the air box and then when you start it the first thing pulled into the motor is some oil. Check your oil level at the glass it should be just barley visible on the very bottom of the glass any higher and its over full and it will smoke on start up.

Sounds like you overfilled it with too much oil.

Anything over halfway up the oil sight glass is too much oil. This oil blows up thru the vent tubes at the top of the motor, into the top frame/airbox, rolls down into the carb and viola, smoke.

No damage done. Drain some oil so the level is at or below the halfway mark, new spark plug, hose down the inside of the carb with carb cleaner and all should be well.

you said you had the bike in the shop for it's first service? sounds like the hurry up monkey at the shop over filled the oil and left your weep hole bolt loose. Then the Salemans blames the "race" motor for the smoke. Jeez what else did they do and then blame you for it.?

WABI:

All Bergs collect oil in the intake boot which connects the carb to the frame. This is more than likely the problem. After every ride remove the air filter and clean out the oil with a paper towel. Better yet do a Breather Mod and be done with the oil accumulation problem. Overfilling with oil will make the problem worse.

A defective, broken or dirty (piece or grit holding it open) reed valve will also cause it to smoke continuously not just at start up.

a couples of months ago i had a smoking only at start problem which turned out to be a broken reed valve.
after half a minute the smoke was gone, so there is a remote possibility that this is the problem.

but mostlikely is overfilling with oil :wink:

All of these are valid points including your glazed cylinder theory. If the bike was ridden too easily during break in or at steady throttle for long periods, this could happen. Since the bike only holds a litre of engine oil, overfilling is not generally an issue if all the oil is drained properly. This assuming you only use a litre bottle or quart to refill it with. I use a quart of oil (.946 litres) and it is good to go.

1) Check for overfilling (easy enough).
2) Check for oil in the carb intake boot. Oil in the boot can come from a number of reasons (overfill, stuck reed valve, long term high speed operation, or a crash....having the bike below horozontal, if only for a second or two)
3) Inspect the reed valve. This requires removal of the main clutch cover and is not usually too difficult of a task.
4) Tear down and inspection of the piston rings, cylinder bore and valve guides may be required.

As always..this is just my opinion and of course.....as always, I may be wrong :wink:

make sure it has mineral oil in it . they hold one litre only .

Be afraid! Indeed, be very afraid as your freshly serviced 05 may have been subject to the dreaded "Broken Pencil Stop" method of locating TDC.

I am merely having a bit of fun @ Bob's expense.
:lol:

What to do:
Start and warm old smokey.
promptly drain the engine oil .
Install 1 liter of fresh oil.
Remove your air filter and wipe out the carburetor / filter inlet boot.
Re install all removed components.
Go ride the bike "Hard" until the smoke subsides. (the exhaust pipe is full so such may take a bit of time)

Have fun!

I have no idea why i said this....weep hole bolt? what the Frick is that on a husaberg? does not exist........ I swear I must have been drunk or soomething. sorry I don't mind being stupid when I am but creating fragrant misinformation is weird . I ususally don't do that.

the good news is the husaberg air boots are real soft and suptle, easy to work on and off the Carburetor. So removing them to clean is easy, but you can actually reach down into the intake boot from the frame air box above to clean out the intake boot with a long wad of paper towel. At least i have done that and not lost the paper towel down in the carburetor, but if I did then I could use the pencil in the piston to write a "HELP ME I am a fool" message. :lol:
