Hi all Husaberg lovers. After my first experience with Husaberg two years ago (I bought FE501 2000) I decided to buy a new one. Went to the dealers in the Baltic States and took a new Husaberg FE450e 2005 which was standing in the shop for two years.
As it is my first new bike I would say huge thanks for all the information provided about this bike - what are the weakest points of this bike, what needs more attention, what should be checked regularly (of course i am not talking about the oil level, chain and so on ;) just the parts which fastly wears).
Moreover, some questions about jetting - from the dealers i received a second needle (in the manual it is written that this one goes with motocross bikes) and the 40 air jet (the standard is 38 ). As I am mostly using my bike in the tracks as a motocross bike what could you suggest? The main jet is 178 on my bike and the motocross bikes are mounted with 182. Should I change the jets and the needle to a motocross standard?
The last question: maybe someone has a sport exhaust for my Berg for sale? :)
The first picture of me and my bike is here:

i believe the only hassles we've heard of are the occasional main bearings going in the engine (where else...). look up 'common faults' in the doc.

as far as jetting goes, i think you are about 5 miles away. i'm running a 145main jet. again if you look up the doc under 'carburation' you'll see the two factory recommended needles: the E series and the D series. finally, dale lineaweaver dioes an even better needle than that! so now you have three to choose from. if you think that 145 is too extreme then go to 160 as a starter.

it took me around 130 back-to-bqack tests to get to my present jetting and you can have the results for free!

and before you ask: "no, being a 450 instead of a 400 makes little or no difference!".

good luck and welcome to UHE!

regards

Taffy
