Ive been offered a 501 supermoto, just wondering if any one can tell me about this model, good and bad bits, what to look out for?? cheers dean
 
model year would be nice, there is A LOT of info here, do a quick search on "501" and you will see. basically the 501 is a highly prized motor.
 
how reliable is this engine, ive been told it is not an 04 but an 03 model, but it has been registerd in 04 thats why ig to it wrong?? a few people have said that these engines are unreliable.

Post a picture of the right side of your Husaberg and we will tell you if it is a 03 or an 04.

Regards,

RE: Re: RE: Berg 501

From what I recall, not very much is written negativley about the 501. If it is an 03, you have the majority of the updates, the only downside, if you can call it that, is the fact that you have the SEM ignition, which is really no longer as big of an issue because we seem to have found a reliable source for rewinds (sparks, on this site), making them better than new. You also have the dellorto carb, which works fine in a proper state of tune. as long as you are rigourous with your maintenance, those bikes can be trouble free, at least as much as any other bike out there. with proper maintenance "unreliable" does not really apply to the 03 and up bikes. Are you using the 501 for motard use? or are you going to throw on some dirt gear and use it on the trails?
 
RE: Re: RE: Berg 501

it will only be used as a motard. how often do they need servicing, and what does it involve??
 
RE: Re: RE: Berg 501

just the occasional track day, or racing? The maintenance requirments are in the download section in one of the user manuals. Any motard guys here that can answer aboout maintance for road use?
