Hi folks,
I have a '92 FE-501E I'm about to dig into for the first time. I've managed to push it past 80hrs- almost all high speed supermoto stuff- but it's understandably tired. On the left side of the cylinder head is stamped "TRIX by R.P.M." and "502CC". Aslo there are numbers scribed on the valve head and cylinder head (979 I believe). Are any of the old shcool Husaberg riders familiar with a company that ever used such a stamp? The bike has lived in southern Ca it's whole life as far as I know (I'm 3rd or 4th owner). Any hints or info would be better than where I'm at now. Since the cylinder isn't sleeved, I am also looking for a place familiar with bergs should I need to get a custom piston.
A lead on a whole engine from that era would be interesting too. I'm racing the bike so it would help to have a 2nd engine on the stand waiting.
Thanks everyone,
JT
