new owner question

hey guys ive recently become a husaberg owner, a FE650 and im loving it even though it had some problems starting for a while but a quick oil/spark/air fliter/battery change has hopefully seen the end of that problem.

my problem now is that i cant figure out what year model i have as i think a previous owner has done some upgrades. the compliance plate says 2002, but it has a digital dash from the 2003 but when i was looking at the wire harness it looks like the dash has been wired up by someone. which would indicate that it is a 2002 but the frame number has "3" as the 10th number which says its a 2003. also the engine number (on the right of the cylinder) is one numeral short but that prob is the wrong number so if someone could tell me where the engine number is stamped i would be much obliged.
 
welcome to UHE mate.

good luck with the new machine. go into the doc on the elft of the screen and have a look in chapter 1 for year identification.

there is no way someone would upgrade the electrics on an '02 to the digital dash of the '03 so that and the farme number tell me you have an '03.

the '03 had an extra earth cable to the starter mount as well as back to the top chain roller. it also had a pretty neat little fuse set up at the solenoid that the '02 didn't.

then you have the colour scheme. check that out.

regards

high mate my bike is the same it is an 05 but on the rego label it is stamped 04 this is because the delivery of this bike was in 2004 to the dealer sold in 2004 so registered in 2004 but it is in fact a 2005 model bike
 
You should find the bike is a 2003 model as per the manufacturer's frame number. It seems fairly normal in Australia for new bikes from many manufacturers including Jap bikes, sold toward the end of a year, to be the first of the following year's manufacturers model. It has been that way here for many years.

The compliance plate date should say when it was affixed, making it approved for road registration here, probably just after it got unloaded off the boat.
 
thanks guys, yer i think it is a 2003 but im still a little hung up on the wire loom. ive got the 2003 wire diagram and the colours of wires dont match up. ah well as long as it works, now i just have to figure out the nack of kick starting it.
