5910517-001 it's $500 or £300 or whatever $500 is in euros. the end of the crank can be repaired.

we had a member join named squirrely scott from edinburgh. never did see what he did with his but same problem.

ola, you can actually clean up the end of the crank which i did once for someone. if you look, allyou need is the thread and the shoulder for the gear as well as the woodruffe key slot. but it doesn't matter if the end of the crank chipped a corner off.

The problem with the crank, is just that the rear side of the key slot, is damaged after ripping off the key.. The shoulder and the thread is ok.. But i dont think the slot for the key does the job it`s supposed to anymore :(

If this is fixable, i guess it needs welding and some sort of machining to make a new slot?! I`m rather handy with motors and mechanis, but that is above my skills..
 
i had a close call on a ducati i had where the nut on the end of the crank that secures the flywheel/rotor had come loose, smashed a washer to bits and chewed the crank keyway/rotor keyway. a new rotor, a newly made key and a retrieval of the washer bits later and all was well.
the reason i asked about the price of a crank is that a 748 engine i had dropped a big end. it marked the crank and a new one was needed. ducati wanted 800 quid for the crank !! fortunately i found one for 100 quid from a dealers that had been sat in the workshop for a year or two after a customer paid for it and never picked it up :bugeyes:
hopefully i will have more luck with my husa than i did with the ducati !!!
 
I dont beleive it a 2007 FS650e with an engine problem so early......

I am sure I heard people on this forum say that the 2005 onward bikes had all this ironed out...

You know my thoughts....

Fix it up mate, ride it or sell it, its up to you :)

May do the same thing again.
 
Sorry to hear about your misfortune man. I sure hope I get more than 53 hrs out of my 08 FS650 before it goes bang 8O I'd like to think something else went & caused all your damage. Cold comfort really when you're looking at your beloved in bits with $hit broken on it everywhere. Fix it up man, you know you'll get over it once it's going again. Keep on the warranty line & don't rant, keep your cool & be persistent so they know you're serious. Good luck
 
Well, a direct warranty for the repair seemed like a no chance in hell.. I`ve got to split it up now, make å list of broken parts, and hope that they will help me out with parts or in worst case just cheap parts.

This is not what i expect after 53 hours on a $18000 plated bike. (norwegian price for a new bike. this one is second hand)
 
Whats the best side to pull up, when splitting the motor?

My thoughts are to split it with the clutch basket side up.
 
no. take everything out of the left and then flip over. take the 3-5 items that are on the right, undo crankcase screws and split with the right side up.

please read the doc for engine rebuild.

Pulled out the valves yesterday, and they where ofcourse bent hard all 4.. but the seats looked ok, so new valves and a pasta job probably will do it on the top end..

If i only could get my hands on a flywheel puller now, i can split the motor...
 
an old flywheel puller from the earlier bikes will fit.

I`m miles away from a husaberg dealer, and my local MC shop didn`t have this size flywheelpuller..

Does anyone know what size it is, so i can make one?

Size on the flywheel threads, and type of threads..
 
Ola,
Its the same as a RFS KTM one- try sourcing it as that and you should have more luck :?:

I think the gear nut got loose, and the gear spun on the crank, shearing the woodruf-key and let the piston say hello to the valves afterwards :(

that's what happens every now and then to the bikes that haven't been double checked after delivery as new bikes.

i got some bad luck aswell allmost right after i bought my FS 550 (2007) with only 42hrs on it.
i got it fixed, not that cheap,but i'm sooo happy it's in good shape now.

if you still plan on getting rid of the husa, try looking up on the reviews on the ktm 690, i know several guys that have probs every time with the FI indicator coming up...

stick with the husa, you won't regret it, just get it fixed and ride it hard,just keep on changing oil regularly...

ciao, hannes
 
every now and then ??? ... its no excuse , quality control and rectifying known faults is all it takes . ,,,,, simple isnt it ?

if we know it happens with some of our bikes, then we jus gotta check'm and be sure.
that's just the way it is,i dunno why they don't do it,but they will have it right this time with the new generation husas...
 
It wouldn't have been the first time a sprockets cracks due to fawlty hardening procedure in the production. Has that been outruled by the experience at UHE?
 
Hi Ola: Did your bike come with a one year warranty? I'm over here in Vegas, and if I recall correctly, they had a one year warranty since 2006, perhaps earlier. This made me think they worked out all the problems... but now your experience has me doubting and afraid to buy one.. again.

Did they offer that in Europe? Or was yours already expired, or not applicable cuz you bought it used???
