a week ago, i took a second hand 2001 FE650 for a test, i was sold on the sound alone.......and the ride converted me into a believer!!!!! I phoned the mechanic who worked on the bike, and he said that the whole engine was rebuilt and is in great nick. After that, i purchased the bike for a great price from PRO-ACTION KTM (they also have a great reputation.)
I went on the net to find some manuals for some how to's and such (I love doing small maintanance on my bike.....but nothing intense....oil changes, air filters, etc.)
I stubbled onto this website that is great.....but I started noticing a trend....THERE ARE MORE BLOWN UP BERGS THAN HOMES IN BAGHDAD.....I'm am NOW SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY PURCHASE......I just do some light trail riding with my friends on a sunday.....will not really be racing this thing.....should i be worried that the things gonna blow up, sieze, die, etc. CAN I ACTUALLY ENJOY THIS BIKE, or should i worry (LIKE I AM!!!!!!)
PLEASE HELP!
I understand that this website is for people with technical issues and to get help etc. IN SOUTH AFRICA Husaberg is a very rare bike....and i thought that would be the case everywhere, but i read about bikes that die after 10 minutes, blew up after 10 hours, siezed after 5 seconds!!!! So from my point of view 9/10 husas DIE after 10 hours!
CAN I ENJOY THE BIKE THE WAY THE BEAST INTENDED!
IS THE 2001 FE650 a PROBLEM!!!!! (they've done some modifications to it, like cam chain adjusters and such!)
WHAT SHOULD CHECK FOR/ WORRY ABOUT!!!
I CURRENTLY RIDE A XT600E (I can bury it in mud over winter and pull it out in summer and ride it like a dream, so my biking experience may be a little warped when it comes to maintance)
PLEASE HELP!
