Hi Guys,
Been a long time since i have been in the Husaberg world. i originally bought an Fe 400 2002 around 8 years ago, subsequently blew that up, then replaced the engine with a rebuilt 650 from DCR. thats where the problems start...
So the engine came around 6 years ago, and from the off it had a couple issues. Badly smoking and a nasty knocking noise, the engine went back and had a new barrel sleeve and was checked over. It came back and the smoking had got a lot better, but there was still a bad knocking noise and shavings in the oil.
At that point i gave up, I have 2 other bikes and with work etc the Husaberg got put the back of the garage.
Fast forward 6 years and I now have a decent sized workshop to tinker in so decided it was time to investigate what was going on.
Ive had the case off and inspected everything obvious, all looks ok apart from the kickstart area, it seems the back of the kickstart mech has been hitting the casing and i'm guessing that was where the noise and shavings are coming from.
Question is, why would this be happening and what can i do to rectify it?
pics to follow..
Thanks in advance
