I've been looking at a FS650 07.

I got no idea about the "service intervals" on the bike, and the owner have driven around 130 hours without changeing the (piston?) and it also has to change the "timing chain"

Is this expensive to do, or hard to do by myself? Where do i buy it?
And how often do you have to change the diffrent things on the bike?


Sorry about my english, but i used google translate on a few on the words.

Every answer helps, i don't know anyone with a Husaberg, and if i get it cheap, i'll buy it tomorrow.. So i hope i can get some answers as fast as possible :)

regarding mains

short version

http://husaberg.org/mechanical/17170-definative-main-bearing-thread.html

long version http://husaberg.org/mechanical/5986-main-bearings-failure-must-change.html

some people have valve springs go at around 200 hrs, there is quite a choice of dual springs, I run kibblewhites.

some people have the cam follower bearings go at 2-300hrs others get 500 hours out of them, the ktm part number for the follower bearing is 590 36 061 090 $22 from munn racing. if you replace them it is also worth flipping the main rocker pins upside down.

they're good! with only one litre of oil though it is ALWAYS down to the previous owner!

Bought my first motard today! The 650 is so fun to drive...

It's not very easy to start it, and the previous owner said he had to change the battery a few times over the years he have had it. Anyone know what i can do, to fix it, or is it like this on most of the bergs around?
 
When i was a pussy and ran e start with the OEM autodecomp plasticine spring I used to pull the manual decomp lever in while it cranked over a few times then let the lever out.

then i cut some coils off the spring

Re the decomp spring this might help

the older KTM one is stiffer wire (same diam just better wire) it works better and has 1 less turn than the berg one.

the spring on the right is the spring out of my 08 650. I preloaded it more but the end broke off

to make it stiffer I cut off some coils from the lower end and bent the coil out until it worked properly you can see the end makes it more preloaded than the oem and less turns means its stiffer.

if you wind more preload on the spring it gets too small in diam and bottoms out on the shaft then the ends get deformed and eventually break like mine did it needs to be a stiffer spring not just preloaded more.

cutting coils off the end is easy the wire handles being bent just try not to have any sharp bends, wind the coil out straight untill you have what you want then snip off the end mine now has 13.25 coils total, the KTM spring has 14.5 coils and mine originally had about 15.5

if that's not the problem there are some other things you can do; make it idle fast, check the valve clearances, fiddle with jets mostly just taking the time to find out what works at what temp . hot start or choke etc
 
Hi - Welcome and congrats on the new bike!

I'm a new FS 650 E owner too. It's quite a beast and I love it - despite all the horror stories about maintenance.

Coming from bikes that were easier to start, the 650 is a bit of a challenge. Kick starting can be a mission, and there is a tonne of info written here about troubleshooting actual starting problems (like those mentioned in the replies above), but just having the right process understood might be all you need on a later model 650?

For me, my starting process is (for a cold engine)

1. pull out cold start on carb
2. gas taps on :)
3. twist the throttle 3 or 4 times, slowly and evenly to get some gas primed
4. hold in the decomp and turn over the e-start for a few seconds
5. hold in the decomp and turn over the es-start for a couple seconds then release the decomp and blip the throttle
6. done-berger!

oh yeah - push back in the cold start, and try not to burn your knuckles off!

It's a pain in the *** to kick start the husaberg. I'm used to have the kick start on the right side, and I'm not a big guy, so I can't just hold my right foot on the ground.

I just tried the bike for a few minutes now. I Parker it in the driveway, and when I were going to start it up again it just won't do it. I tried the hot start, the decomp trick, and even tried to kick start it, but it just won't start.
Hope I haven't bought a piece of crap.... :p
 
My 550 is a pain too... But I think they all are...

When I get the bike off the truck here is what I do:

1. Gas On

2. Choke / cold start thing out.

3. De-compression lever and clutch in while holding the kill switch (still in neutral)

4. I turn the motor over using kick start lever. Not full out drive it down.. Just casual turn over with the kick lever. About 4 times

5. De-compression lever out. Slowly kick the lever again about 2 times

6. Find the happy part where the kick lever is very stiff (at the very top)

7, Drive it down as quick and as firm as you can....

This more less complicated technique works for me 1st try... If not then second try for sure....

I got this from a buddy with a two stroke... Thats his trick...

All the hard starting comments, I don't get it. I turn on gas valves, pull out choke, push the starter button. Easy! :unsure:

For grins, I have kicked started them several times. My 2005 FS650E and FS650C are both very easy to start. Gas on, choke on, kick, and that's it. And I weigh 150lbs. So special drill needed.
 
It's nothing like i am used to, so i just need a technique for it.. Getting used to it now!

You have to kick it all the way through. It's the last 5 cm of the kick stroke that starts the engine, but you still have to get the engine to turn over fast enough so don't be a slouch. :)
