Replace fiber disc.?

I dont know if anyone has ever tried replacing the fiber disc, there are easier ways to fix the slipping torque limiter. You can either just tack the two rotating parts together with a welder, though I believe it's a bad idea to weld them togetehr, or you can put a shim in to get more pressure on the bevelled washer to stop the torque limiter from slipping.
You can buy a kit from Taffmeisters, with a shim and a spring for the one-way clutch, or you can try and find a thin shim somewhere else. There is a thread regarding the slipping torque limiter, with comments on the slipping torque in Newton meters, where it's at on the standard torque limiter, and where it's at after it has been shimmed, or where you need to have it to prevent it from slipping too easy.

Read what Taffy wrote in his Wiki about the Torque Limiter. Also called the Starter Freewheel in the Wiki.

Husaberg Motorcycle Poor Starting Problems | Husaberg Wiki

Starter Freewheel

"This first appears on the 2002 engine and looks like an innocent little wheel ‘merely’ connecting the starter to the sprague bearing. Wrong! It is infact a clutch to stop a violent reversal going through the starter motor and the idea is that it should ‘give way’. Unfortunately it gives way when starting. To check it out, remove and hold in the vice via the large gear, use a torque wrench set on a vert low 12LB/10Nm and if it clicks off its good but if it turns it is worn. Even on 4lb the nut will turn rather than click the torque wrench. Now hold by the small gear and undo the 17mm nut with a 6-sided socket. Add a .016″ (0.4mm) shim to the spring washer and it should be cured."

In 2001 the Torque Limiter was replaced under warranty as it would not slip and caused clutch basket gear damage if a backfire occurred.

In 2004 and other years some bikes were affected by a torque limiter that would slip too easily.

BOSS (member) and dealer has also said that the breakaway should occur at 7 to 15 Ft. Lbs.

Ned37 (member) said: "when you disassemble the torque limiter, you can put very thin shims in the inside to tighten the "breakaway" tension that keeps your starter from turning over the engine. it is there to provide a safety in case the engine backfires and tries to destroy the starter system.
when you take it out, clamp the gear part in a padded vise and turn it with a torque wrench to see at which point it breaks away. iirc, it needs to be around 20 ft lbs?. adding a shim or 2 will increase it. it seems to be a problem in most of the '04 models"

Sparks (member) said: "there is a quick fix on these torque limiters,as for the 11Nm Ausberg I would say it hasn't got much life. The one I took off mine slipped at 5Nm, so when you undo the bolt that holds the two halfs together there is a dished washer all I did was to put a 15 thou shim on first then the dished washer retighten the bolt and voila it now slips at 25Nm, so a simple shim can save you 90 pounds or 180 Dollars."


Taffmeisters used to sell the shims and instructions but I don't see them on his web site right now (or perhaps I just can't find them).

A few have welded the torque limiter so that no slipping will ever occur. Those of us that were here in 2001 will remember all of the damage that was caused by the Torque Limiter not slipping when it needed to.

...aaand there you have it. Thanks Husabutt!

@husabutt: Nice explanation - well done!

Once a workshop put a new torque limiter in my engine (there was none before) and after the bike was running I accidentally stalled the engine. Result: Clutch basket 3 teeth off...

The "off-the-shelf" torque limiter was not shimmed to 10Nm, so it was set to 54Nm by default. Obviously enough to destroy the clutch basket!

Shimmed correctly everything is fine!

I still do the kit lads! it's called 'The Starter Repair Kit' or 'SRK'. We put a stronger garter spring in with two shims and a setb of instructions. 100825 in the shop.

BTW everyone, the Doc was put together entirely by myself over 4-5 years. It started as 35 sheets of typed paper and then it grew. it was put into a Wiki form by Maddel and he understood how to add links and photos better than me at the time.

nearly everything in it was by me or my idea and if not people got credited with it so the 'default' knowledge was mine and now, I never get mentioned. All i did was say i did it (as in put it together) on the opening page and that was it.

Our illustrious leader Zen, has now copied it up and removed my name completely at the beginning so now it doesn't appear at all.

I NEEDN'T TELL YOU HOW BETRAYED I FEEL BY THIS.

Taffy

OH my bleeding aunt nora .. FFS

the DOC is a compilation of ideas from site users including Taffy who selected the ideas and then Maddel compiled them.

many people wanted to contribute more than ideas but Taffy refused not only ideas and opinions but also their contribution of time and organization.

he upset and ignored many significantly talented generous individuals and here we are some 15 years later all bemused how he still beats his chest about his creation ...

what is the zen philosophy ... its not what you do but how you do it that is key.

The Doc is my creation and not "a compilation of ideas from site users including Taffy ..."

I don't believe you'll find anywhere on this site that anyone other than you wanted to contribute but nobody actually stopped you. if you can get rights to change it you're allowed too!

Maddel did exactly what I said and that is not "Maddel compiled them'

how would you bloody know anyway, you weren't there!

the fact is, you're so sick in the phuqin head that your views are unsound. things like the SKF mains, your view was the only view. there is only Bushie's view!!!

well the SKF mains are just fine, my theory that they are a better main than the NTN still hoolds water. I've had NO SKF mains failures at all. zilch.

it could be said about countless things you have said.

phuq off to whatever site you ruin now and don't come back.

**** off supreme idiot

ok short list of the top of my head:

simon, gruntenberg, ben ballard, spiney, spanner, weed, lineaweaver, John Prior, fe350

all actual engineers and mechanics who you've pissed off and wouldn't listen too.

tourist, Zaga, Davo, maddel heaps more wanted to contribute ....

your selective memory and complete ******** is well evidenced all over this site and the absence of those listed above is entirely your doing ...

Taffy has royally ****** this sites diversity by chasing his competitors away.

what have you done for the Romans ? taff has created a DOC ! everyone bend over

i notice you can't stick to the point *******.

its you that got chucked out they couldn't stand you here that's why. mouth like a sewer.

anyone who contributed got added full stop AND it was written before we fell out. your contribution is where it deserves to be at phuqall.

take your one brain cell and piss off. your so vile that nobidy dare to stop you. people would rather leave than take more of your crap. chase people away?

your lies are so bad you start by saying maddell did the doc and then you say maddel wanted to contribute? so which is it ********?

Maddel wanted to help all the people who were willing to contribute further.... thus he was willing to contribute

fact is you didn't want anyone to contribute further .. and no its not just me ... you are a deluded idiot

I fixed many errors in the doc with maddels help before the site changed hands. there are still many more errors in it that should be corrected ...

my contribution as always is correct your inaccurate data and cryptic ramblings

you write so many numerical errors and gibberish it is difficult for people with english as a second language to understand

this has been brought up many times by the majority of regular posters ... its not just me

and your completely deluded about me not posting here for a while.

I was never booted that was entirely my choice because NED and BERGER asked me not to post after your posts ... that meant that even if you posted a complete load of ******** figures trying to sell your rubbish products (eg my cam chain is 30% lighter and 30% stronger .. it is absolutely not ... not in this universe) I would not have been able to let anyone know.

That was an environment run by completely biased fools whose only actions as moderators were to keep sand out of Taffy's enormous Vagina by making sure nobody upset him, what about all those wonderful people who left because of taffy ... thankfully Zen is not an idiot.

I agree, there were many errors, they were there from the early naughties and you have the advantage of hindsight and others work, I would have had it too if I were to have done it. It even used to say that; 'the Doc is ongoing work'..... updating is and would be a never ending task. when you bleasted like a baby about the 450 rod, the 400/470 rod c to C you were no different to me in trying to fathom out the disinformation.

the difference was you ****, I had been doing my best and you were there just to be what you are....a ****, a foul mouthed shyster ranting off about what was wrong when you should have respected the voluntary time and effort that went into something that you felt you could just jump on the back of and call rubbish! your only skill is being a gobshyte.

and you weren't booted off? you went on a sabbatical of your own choosing but you told told everyone you'd been booted off! they then told you that you hadn't.

so after all that you did get to play with the Doc. marvellous how the truth keeps coming out isn't it. surprised you didn't change it all to the mantra of 'foul mouthed **** with only one view you need to know about'.

would you still put in the doc that SKF mains are shyte I wonder? unlike you, I don't sit and have verbal diorrehea I sell the stuff and what can we hear........nope........nope still nothing?

not a phuqin sausage you knob headed phuqwit! as i surmised, the SKF isn't an inferior bearing at all! there's a theory (mine) that the design is infact better than the NTN!

and I have all the sales to prove it!!!!!!

If Bobzilla and Berger aren't here it is because of your foul mouthed animal behaviour! Bobzilla told you so last time he was here.

My ideas and products are for sale and my help extends to 15,500 posts helping people, none of your stuff is for sale, it isn't proven to anyone but yourself and your just a plaguerist. 155 main air jet anybody?

phuqin twaddle!

do something NEW that nobody has done before. INVENT something. or phuq off back into the bush where you belong.

OK thats going too far

skf vs NTN

this is john priors (ORANGE BERG) hard work which started with factory mechanics observing various bikes at the finke desert race

nothing to do with me, my knowledge and testing backs up johns findings .. in Australia we run our bikes hard

but because you want to disagree with him you make it my fault... completely stupid

why not post all your above abuse in his direction ?

ALL TAFFYS PRODUCTS are overpriced rubbish that are easy to avoid ... The doc actually helps taffy sell his rubbish which is very very wrong imho

foul mouthed ? you make me look like an angel. bobzilla and berger are your mates .. i mean all the other fantastic knowledgeable people who YOU abused and ran off the site. there are a lot.

I don't sell anything right ? That means I am here to help voluntarily.

You only help if it's benificial for your wallet .. big difference

Taffy you luky to still be in buisness, I don't know if you are in husaberg just to fell special or something but you really have to sort out your attitude and at the moment it's not working out for you (quite a few people have a really bad option about you and avoid your product)...

you are in here with your business and there is always **** going on with you.

my argument is with you!:devil::devil:

off subject now completely. fact is, SKF; great bearing. and I have the first 100bhp husaberg to show for it. Australian beach race champion uses my stuff. I had a sidecar do three 24-hour trials and only a waterpump seal went I'm told in years 2 and 3. same engine.

fact is, the proof is in the eating and the SKF is fine. which then reflects back on whoever did those engines. If one person puts an engine together that is fine and someone else has trouble then it isn't me that has to check what I'm doing is it!!!!!

you don't answer the points previouslly made and for someone who jumped in with both feet and then phuqs up, just makes you a complete arse.

the Italian needs to put up that video. put it up or shut up.

No sorry The beach racer Damo now uses orangebergs stuff ....

So What are you on about taff ?

You claim it's me who says the ntn is better than skf
It's orangebergs finding

So why are you pissed at me about the bearings ?

100hp berg ? You are seriously deluded

Paolo6 doesn’t have to put up any ******* video and nobody will doubt him because of your obvious distraction. The thing with abusive tactics like that is that it’s always the same script and so easy to recognize.

Can we have a video of the 100hp Husaberg....?
Well?

I agree, there were many errors, they were there from the early naughties*

Click to expand...

There are still errors and your gibberish is difficult to understand.

So according to you:

all the errors still in the doc are my fault

Orangeberg doesn't exist

My abuse and foul mouthed behaviour has run Ben Ballard, Ben moto51, orangeberg, spiney, gruntenberg, lineaweaver, suttos, bergsmlerg, weed, popup, fe350, boss, Taffy's mistake, and many many others off the site

You created a 100hp 628 ? Out of a stock head and a tiny carb. So Dr C is wasting his time to get 90 hp

You have never had any problems with 0.1mm thick valve spring shims ... But you changed to 0.2mm stainless

There are no pictures on the site of these shims failing

Nobody has ever had any problems with your thin shims

Bushie is a lying **** because he said thin shims wont work and you need 0.4 minimum

Everybody who's cam failed was looked after

Your cam chain is 30% lighter and 30% stronger

Your valve springs reduce seated force by 90%, 40% 60% and bushie is a lying **** and his figures are WRONG ... oh wait now bushie is right they increase seated force ...

The list goes on

Point is you do not post the truth HOWEVER now you claim none of your skf mains customers have had any issues

Please tell us why we should believe you ?

??????????????????????????????????????
