I want to make my FE to FS......

Would any one know if I can fit to my Berg FE 650 2003 below wheels with out clearance issues to my front or rear swingarm ???

These are BEHR OEM from KTM 690 SMC 2007 model with oem hubs and not cheap , due to they are abroad can not test them on my bike prior purchase.

Part No :
7500900104430 Front Wheel 3,5X17" 07
7501020104430 Rear Wheel 5X17" 07

And please advise any info if I can fit a four piston caliber with 320 rotor off same bike or any feedback how to do this is welcome.

Please chip in feedback on this.

The Ktm 690 rear hub is 10mm wider and will not fit. Not sure about the front.

Thanks Pollo.

So if that is the case , I'll take out the KTM hub and install the KTM 640 cush hub I bought ???

Any one know ?? would this be an option.

KTM 640 cush hub



 
Im pretty sure they still sell the. 5" rim and spokes which would be cheaper than the whole 690 rear wheel.
The rim may only come in black though.

I asked the seller to measure the hubs on the SMC 690 , I measured again
mine ( LC4 640 rear I bought ) and it measured 18mm across ,
so with abv saying the SMC 690 if wider 10mm should measure 28mm ???
Also my front hub measures 12mm.

My ideat to make my bike motard has become a sience senario , as I have to figure out the breaks too after , want a four pot caliber and 320 rotor.
 
The sell a caliper relocator bracket to run the 320 rotor. You would just need to search for it.
Im pretty sure the Husaberg hub needs to measure 7 1/8 inches by running a tape measure through the hole from the outside to outside of both spacers.
 
The axle diameter may be the same. I am talking about the width of the hub fitting between the swingarm
 
Does any one know if I can fit to my enduro Husaberg a complete front system off a KTM SMC 625 2007 ???
This set is complete triple , front USD with the brembo caliber installed on it with front axel.

I found a complete front off a damaged engine bike ,
this way I can use the four pot brembo caliber brake with 320 rotor and install a front wheel off a KTM LC4 640 which I have already.

Would this modification work ??? This way I will have a tard Brembo 4 pot caliber and can fit the 320 front disc staight on. Correct ???

I'm trying to spent the less feasible money I can for this convertion by finding top good used parts.


Any comments on this would be highly appreciated.

After many attempts and tests to perform my 650 to motard ...........



After lots of thinking ,
I wanted to have a Berg Enduro bike too but not such powerfull as the 650 for the dirt ,
so I bought a FE 400 ..... and will convert the 650 to SM.
The 400 has FCR , Acrapovic silencer , SM brake set up so will switch its complete front and replace with 650 enduro set up such as front , rims etc ...






As I have purchased my SM wheels already these excel rims 17 x 3 & 17 x 4.5 with oem cushion hub only painted blue colors will be soon up for sale , if any one interested ?? PM me
Same goes for sale the four piston KTM SMC Brembo caliber with front brake pump as is set.

Hi Petros,
do you have enough chain clearance with the 5" rim? Or does it scratch the tire?

It is very tight fit , but no does not touch at all with some limited
space for chain slag too.
I've read that the Conti Attack is very narow for this reason choosed these.
Also these rubbers are good and sticky too.

So if you ask I would point you to those if you go with 5 inch rim.

Once completed will take a full walk arround video.

If your chain guide at front pivot on the swing arm is new at would help the chain not hit the tyre. At least that's how it works on My FS570 warn guide help chew up My rear tyre replace it all good. Good luck bike is looking Great. New chain and sprocket would be good to.

If you have a problem with the chain chunking the tyre, a small length of light aluminium angle, say 50 X 50 with a piece of plastic kitchen chopping board attached to it is a nice, inexpensive fix. Just fit it to the top of the swing arm by drilling/ tapping a couple of new bolt holes.

NB will need a 6 pack of beer to accomplish this task and if mother can look after the kids, you'll do it in half the time too ;)

Hi Guys,
many thanks for your ideas. I have a Michelin tyre on my motard rim but it needs to be replaced anyway - I'll try the Conti next. My idea was to spoke the wheel a bit to the left (5mm) because there is space - some guys from the german Husaberg Forum did this and it performed well - it can't be noticed during riding.
cheers

Try out the conti Attack and you will be very pleased.
It is also a very sticky rubber which is what we are seeking for.

Getting your wheel spoked to the left is not a good solution ,
even if you do not feel it or notice it the rear wheel is actually miss placed and not in the correct allignment which in case of track use you will surely notice that rear is off.
