Hello, I am new to the Husaberg world but love it so far. I recently purchased a 2000 FC501 with about 10 hours on it. I took it out for its first ride and now the fork seals are leaking. I received the suspension booklet for the rear shock with the bike but not the front suspension. I need to know how much oil they hold, and now after reading some posts on here, i might need a little more help!! I have always owned 4 stroke Yamaha's (YZ250F's & YZ450's) and done tons of fork seal on those. But i think im finding out the Husabergs are a little different. ANY help and input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
2000 FC501 Fork Seal Help!
- Thread starter trashman970
- Start date
2000 should be wp 48mm open chamber forks I believe. I have had most of mine set right at 105-110 mm of oil 
These might help. I set my oil at 105mm.

Put your bike on and bleed the air from the forks first.
Then buy a sealmate from the shop, or if you can't find one locally you can use a piece of thin packaging plastic or a THIN soda bottle and make a seal cleaner. I used 35mm film before, but recommend cutting the slots off first so it doesent tear and leave a piece in there.
