Older FE501 Decession time

365rec · Sep 5, 2014

Newbie to Berg land I had a 3 lap 4.5 mile harescramble with a 93 FE this past weekend.

It has a great power and shifts well. The Issues are stalls alot.

Carb Rebuilt and cleaned adusted so it doesnt back fire.

Tackling the Coil and stator next.

Try turning your idle up to help with stalling.

I have a 1995 501 and found it stalled out often in the tight stuff as well.
I have a larger rear sprocket but rarely use first gear because it spins the tire too easily resulting in little traction.
I have several other bikes in my garage (early 1980's Husqvarna 430, 500 2 stroke and 500 four stroke etc.)that have much more flywheel mass and are very difficult to stall.
I found I had to adapt my riding and slip the clutch if I think it might stall, and also on-off with the throttle in the tight stuff.
I agree with the higher idle speed, I have mine probably around 2500-3000 rpm.
I am using an electrex stator which works great after going through several stock stators.
If your stock stator is failing it will stall much more often as the crankcases get hot.
