hi guys, last week i heard a clicking noise coming out of the engine..
then i noticed that my left exhaust was unscrewed so what a relief i said and screwed it to make it stop :roll:

it didnt stop so to prevent any further damage i split it to find out the problem. turns out that con rod went off- you can grab the piston by hand and play with it like a car gearbox selector :lol:

any way i would like some tips for this rebuild.

cylinder + piston are new (1000km on them),top end (valves + cam) the same.

i recently rebuilded the whole thing except the rod :cry:

should i prefer original husaberg rod or any aftermarket, which is better?

should i change anything else ? (main bearings will be changed of course)

how many hours of life a rod is expected to have on a well maintenanced
husaberg from your experience?

oh yeah, the bike is a pre pump fe600
 
replace the little end bush and then feel it again!

no need to do anything else unless you have isolated the problem to the big end as well?

up to you but i wouldn't look for further trouble unless it tells you!

regards

Taffy
