Hallo. I'm thinking to start riding enduro and are looking for a bike, and find a very nice very low hour 02 fe501 bike, look like new and its true.Read 15-20 hour. never worked on since new. I have looked so far after a 450 04 and newer before but now when i found this bike i got very interesting in it.
Now to the dilemma, I have not worked much with older bike than 04. and the 02 can have they issues I've reed. and some things may need to change to make reliable. What mod of what i listed you think its needed to make a man sleep better. or if you have some more to add to the list.
1 -maybe singlerow CB Probably need to change? problem with the old geardrive to cb?
2-camchaft shift to 08cam?
3-camgear and decompweight?
4-kickshaft to newer model?
5-startermotor and battery.
6-new type of rollermainbearing.
Then the chassi and suspension I think is little better on a 04-05? but then again I'm a novis in enduro and haven't think to start racing, just with my friends.
can a single row cb just explode in low engine hour? or whats a safe time on these?
Probobly can run the bike this seson then do a check over in the winter or?
I have a new fcr41 in my garage to shift to. so the stock carb goes.
Best regards Patrik
