I think my 650 seized up

Let me clarify that a "sport naked" is a sport bike with no fairing and standard handlebars.

First of all street racing would not be my thing. Im an enduro/mx rider from way back. The Fs650 is my conversion from a few years ago and I use it fir fun. I am very aware and safe splitting lanes on the Harley several times a week.
I have ridden several sport bikes, a few very powerful loaners from friends.
I will say that that type of riding I am not as interested in and that some of those bikes have way more power than I want on the street.
I like my 06 Fatboy. The cruiser is for me. And maybe a street glide in the future.
Im 51 and have had several street bikes since my 20s. But used a commuters.
I think the Ducati hypermotard is pretty cool though. It has that upright position and like 130hp.
I think there is the 820 and 1020?
 
What's cool about my Fs650 is that all the dirt suspension , triples and wheels are sitting on the shelf for the transformation to an awesome enduro.

A Ducati hypermotard is a sport naked that's been given a supermoto "look" . Air cooled 2 cylinder, same engine as a Monster I believe, but I could be wrong. About 400-420 lbs I think. I'm not up on ducatis so don't quote me.

I'm going to just buy the entire crank/rod from Munn. Munn is out of Pistons for my 05 650 so I will need to find that elsewhere. eBay? "ProX piston any good?

That leaves (as the bigger items on the list:

Getting the valves "done"

Getting the cylinder re-nikasil'ed.

I would probably prefer to not have to ship stuff out. I still have a list of places to ask about the above items. I'm just getting tired of hearing "no thanks" or nothing at all. Too bad I don't live in the UK, I could have Taffy be a sarcastic ******* to me in person, at least he will do it.

Motoxotica is on my list. They are about an hour and a half away so I want to try the San Jose area first. There are a few different KTM dealers I haven't called yet. I would think that at least one of them might be willing to work on it even if they don't sell the brand.
Thanks for the input tourist. Very kind of you considering you are in Iceland. I wouldn't even begin to know how to find anything in Iceland.

Thank you Taffy for both the re-build advice and the "pep" talk, I can appreciate where you are coming from. You have a vested interest in keeping blown-up Husabergs running. I don't. My policy regarding these types of things follows that of a good friend of mine that I will quote here : "Never get attached to metal".

So with that said, this is all about the financial feasibility of fixing (or not) this blown motor. I got taken when I bought this bike, $4500 USD and it lasted about 25 miles before it seized. The guy I bought it from has no honor, so now I'm stuck with a boat anchor. I have no intention on throwing good money after bad. The bike will be sold no matter if fixed or not.

Here is my question:

So if your shop was down the street, how much would you charge me for the work plus parts you outlined, with me doing the re-assembly? The answer to this question will be the best advice anybody could give me because it will set me in the right direction of to fix or not to fix.

come on Maidstone...sarcastic?

now that you are rebuilding it
and you are attached to metal
and it is worth doing
and...
and...

SO NOW luckily from the early post to today I CAN question your judgement and I feel fine with the comment 'sarcastic *******'. YOU'RE ALL OVER THE SHOW FELLA.

you've been wrong on pretty much every count so far so why not on a few more. seems to me, people are guiding you to a better place but against your better judgement and will. AND THAT IS RIDICULOUS.

seems to me your just someone who shot his mouth off without thinking first. let's hope nobody like you ever runs for government shall we?

oh..... phuq!:eek::eek:

i get the feeling it is something to do with the balancer teeth - where they mesh into the intermediate gear.

anyway, you'll soon see!

Taffy



Hey there he is in all his SB glory! Thank you for your pearls of wisdom, I would be lost without your diagnosis of "something to do with the balancer teeth" in post #18. But wait a minute....

5 POSTS BEFORE YOUR AMAZING MISDIAGNOSIS I HAD ALREADY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM [emoji50]


So Laffy, have you been to see your doctor lately there mate? Let me give you a diagnosis: if it's not senior dementia then it's probably Alzheimer's disease [emoji856]

It's ok buddy you don't have to diagnose my problem but I sure hope you can do better on your real customers. As far as to fix or not to fix, it ain't over until the fat motorcycle repair shop grease monkey sings. I'm 0 for two in who will work on this POS so the next shop is a whole lot of villages away as in a hundred miles away. Wrong there also.

As far as presidential candidates go, you ought to run. You're as qualified and have about the same demeanor as anyone else on the republican ticket [emoji90]

I can give as good as I get arsebite. At least I'm better at my job. What's your excuse [emoji24]

you have to be an American you *****. never mind, 33,000 emails later and anything can be arranged.

no idea what you are on about, dementia is to forget something, I just thought it might be your balancer which is inside the cases and was said BEFORE you found the big end was gone. so what is your point?

I said in another thread, which you quoted, that repairing these was not a home DIY job. I still stand by that and right now and you're squeeling and trying to find a shop. get on with it..... after all, my advice wasn't truthful was it?

so are you going to prove me wrong or are you going to prove me right? have a go yourself, you've got everyone here willing you on now....

fancy coming on here, talking about your Bayersiche Motor Werke and then calling a Husaberg a piece of ****....great!

I've found where the problem lies: in the photos below, with the piston at BDC, I can turn the crankshaft from here to here with zero piston movement. That must make it either the top or bottom con rod bearing disintegrated. By the degree more than likely the bottom [emoji21]

Looks like this is going to go what I probably can't do myself, take apart the crankshaft...

This is post #13. Your brilliant guess was post #18. But that's ok, I'm sure you can't be bothered with trivia like reading before inserting foot in mouth.

I'm the OP of this thread. I can lead it in any direction I want. Your BS amounts to typical comments from the Internet peanut gallery of no consequence, so why don't you go find someone who cares about your opinion to give your worthless advice to? You're so dumb you couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the directions were on the heel [emoji851]

PS Laffy, quit while you're behind. Or dig yourself deeper if you want. You started right out with your very first post in this thread trying to bully me, you do the same thing to other people on this forum too from what I have gathered. You have a few people out to flame you at every opportunity they can find. Why is that one might wonder? Maybe no one enjoys being put down even if it is totally lame stupidity. My guess about you is the same as I guess about all bullies: SPS, and the first S is Small and the last one is Syndrome. Hold your crotch while you figure out what the P stands for.

And don't start what you are ill equipped to finish. I don't like beating up on people with serious emotional problems.

POS = Periodically Operational Scooter.

What did you think I meant? Currently in a period of non-operationalisis, I'm trying to fix it...(???) Well DUH, jumping to the wrong conclusions still [emoji23]

I can't believe what an ******* you are besides being a pathetic loser as far as being a human being! What is this to you, some kind of contest in your little dinosaur brain of (((He Can't Do What The GREAT AND OMNIPOTENT Laffy Can Do))) (cue the sound of horns blaring).

???? Only a little ***** could come up with a dare like that. So that's your new handle Lil' *****. Do you know what happens to little *******?

I have news for you loser. I don't have to be able to do it! Never did and never will. I have a job too ******. I can pay someone else to do it. I can do it myself. I can have my garbage man come take it to the dump after I douse it with lighter fluid and burn it in effigy. You want to see what I can do? How about this: I can buy a ticket on a jet liner and fly to England. I can pay a taxi to drop me off at Taftretardedmeisters, I can walk into your stinky little dump, and I can break you up with my bare hands into a bunch of smaller pieces of shat WAAAY before the constables can arrive to stop me. And I can do all this WITHOUT OUTSIDE HELP! Want to lay odds on that competition? I don't care if I get kicked off this forum either Lil' *****. I don't need anything from you never did and never will.

Lol

Wake up ned It's too funny for sleepin


Bushmechanic,

I know right? Pathetically funny anyway. The lameness quotient is off the scale.

BTW, thank you for your input and help with my project. I noticed you didn't have to be a **** about my learning things the hard way like some little ******* have to. I thank you for that, I think it is a wonderful thing when people of different nationalities can get together and share common interests in a spirit of FRIENDSHIP AND MUTUAL RESPECT. I work in the construction industry, and am a tile mechanic by trade. I co-own a thriving business and am a CA licensed contractor since 1986. If you or anyone else for that matter BESIDES Lil' ***** ever needs any help in any capacity what so ever I would bend over backwards to help you with your project. But not Lil' *****. We don't share friendship or mutual respect, at his insistence mind you, from day one.
