Husaberg game over

If you are going back to two strokes, I find
that KTMs are more durable.The Suzukis
were the worst,the Hondas the best of the
Japanese bikes.

Mika,

sorry to hear you have had a bad run. i too had a lot of 'berg troubles and ran back to a 2 stroke.

it seems as though a berg can't be ridden hard regularly, but those who are a little more forgiving and are keen mechanically, do have good runs and 200+ hours on an engine.

so til i get wise and slow down a bit, i'm gonna keep holding my 2 stroke wide open and spend my nights relaxing rather than fixing!!!!!

i do miss the berg tho, and i'm guessing there will be another one in my future!!!!!

good luck with your next bike

Have Fun
Jeff

good luck fella!

did you ever fit the cam?

If that is a Lineweaver cam I would sell
the bike with the OEM cam and offer the
good cam for sale here.The 400 is usually
the most dependable of the Husabergs.
Did the balancer have the double bearings?

i sold him my 53 TJT.

Change of bike it also have passed in to my mind but I can´t find any replacement for my Berg.
1st. for my type of rides, with a 2 stroke I have to carry a fuel pump on my shoulders;
2nd. KTM's are vey unstable on the front end and with one I ride all the time begging to Jesus to carry my front wheel.
3rd. Jap bikes are so trusty than Bergs. I related a situation with a friend who bought a brand new Honda CRF 250X. To get some power from the bike he had to tune up the carburator. Now after some 1000 kms. he had some problems whit the oil, the engine loose the oil by gaskets by seals etc. etc. Ok the bike starts very fine but...
4th. I can't find a so very handling bike like Husaberg.

My Berg is a FE501E from 2001. Since I have the bike and it has 10.000 kms on it's belly the only problem I had was the stator.
Probably the new models don't give any troubles with the ignition.
