Husaberg fe 501 2002 rebulid

Hi
I'm starting my little rebuild thread
(some example of my earlier work if anyone is interested:
my husqvarna- Husqvarna Wr 125 1999 Photos by Urban501 | Photobucket
my yamaha- Yamaha Dt 80 MXS 1985 Photos by Urban501 | Photobucket )

Here is where all the photos from this rebuild will be : Husaberg 501 2002 Photos by Urban501 | Photobucket

I will disassembled the bike completely (i wont touch the suspension this time-most likely i'll do it after this season) , clean it,
do some mods , and replace & fix every thing i can- nothing fancy
it's not going to be big rebuild like on other bikes i did
cause parts cost more and now we've got 2 bikes- 2 bergs to be more specific )

About the bike- i bought it few months back with like 2900km on the clock (?) it looked nice but been siting for like 4-5 years in a garage
not used - i've done few hundreds km and i cant stand it anymore
i have to take it apart and know what i have

Right now i,ve got most of the bike disassembled, engine
is of the frame cylinder head is off, cases are split up
they were some sad surprises :
-all bearings are junk from sitting this few years in old oil or from mechanical damages
-there is no balancer !
-piston is junk
-nicasil is damaged
-carters are damaged from old balancer

First pats sprague and sledge, rear shock from hacker33






The bike :






Engine :



Nicasil







All for now- i have to make list of parts buy them clean everything
,assemble and back to riding sorry fo large pics anyone have idea
how to make them smaller with forum tools ?

Hi everybody
I'm back in the workshop for now or to be more specific
back to working on my bergs sorry for not posting anything
but i didn't have time to work on them
( in the meantime i bought another bike for the project not berg this time Fantic Motor Oasis 80 by Urban501 | Photobucket )

Lollo you have to pay special attention to everything
this a husaberg (making mechanics out of riders since 1989)
not some boring Japanese bike

Back to the 501 i've ordered parts from taffy and "local" dealer
disassembled cleaned an verified gearbox it's totally fine this
circlips can be real pain in the *** if you wanna be delicate



pulling bearing race it came off just like it should what a surprise



ready for assembly



i cleaned the cases and pulled bearings out





unscrewing one of the reed valve screws required a
lot of force so i'm making sure that thread is fine




New steel liner next to old one which probably i'm going to
regenerate and put on the shelf for another time also new
wossner piston with ceramic coating so the piston
won't transfer so much heat into the crank
i hope



some new foams for the frame and seat they are like almost 100PLN
a piece in the dealership- i'm not paying 100pln for a piece of foam
i'm gonna do it myself but i've never been to good with folk
art paper cutting


That's it for now thanks for reading, regards
Urban
