Long time no Berg...
See, my 650 got put up about 2 years ago due to knackered main bearings.
Anyway, I picked up a new spare engine on the Bay just got it out of the box yesterday.
So far it seems 100% legit. Numbers match the tag. It’s a 2008 FE550e engine.
Valves were adjusted properly, it was test run, the bore looks nice and smooth, the only sign that it’s 10 years old, is a little surface rust on the exposed head bolts.
Came with a clutch master, line, and slave.
Starter, kickstart, and gear shifter as well.
This weekend I’ll be swapping it into my 05 FSE650e.
I just so happen to have an FE550, so I have the ignition box and 550 specific exhaust.
I Don’t quite remember if it’s the headers that are different, or the mid pipe is not the same as the 650.
Anyway, I’m after jets and a carb rebuild kit. If anyone has suggestions I’d appreciate it.
