WANTED INFO ON 550 SPARES

Hi all

Has anyone got any info on alternate suppliers of spares for the 550's, spares such as Piston kit, Sleeve, Gasket kit and Main bearings I could not believe the cost of these genuine from Husaberg. Surely someone is making them after market.

Thanks for any info

Thanks for the info Ausberg.
Yes Cafey18, and I am not f**king happy so far it's over $2000 to repair and Husaberg will not fix under warranty, what a bloody joke. I purchased this thing as it still had 6 months warranty.
I took the bike up for the water pump repair and also a 'possible' noise. Now I am in a sh*t fight to try to get someone to stand by there product, after spending heaps to get the thing setup and turn the way I want, I am now left wishing I had kept the VOR and waited for the new 09 bikes to come out, fat chance I will be buying another Berg at this rate. I'll bet my left one the parts will go on back order like others I have ordered in my long 2 months of owning a Berg.
Hopefully something can be done to rectify this situation

See ya at the pub for some calming beers, your shout please!!!

To All
I wish to say I am in the process of chasing up the warranty so do not wish to comment further until this is sorted.
I must say that John at Orange Berg has been doing his utmost to help out, all he wants is another happy customer and is going beyond what is required from a dealer who did not sell me the bike, Husaberg should be very happy with Johns efforts so far in getting this problem sorted and trying to save Huaberg's reputation, once the warranty is sorted and parts supplied I will be getting John's mechanic to do the work as he really seems to have a great understanding of the Bergs
I would recommend John and his mechanic Adain if anyone has any issues or need a new Bike
see ya for now

Hi All

Just thought I would write an ending to my post.
My 06 fe 550 was finally repaired after a 7.5 weeks wait and much stuffing around for parts between Husaberg Australia and Highway performance bikes, the bike was sold to me with the balance of new warranty (6 months) the bike had done 4200k's 64.8hrs when I purchased it, when the main bearing failed the bike had done 4600k's 80hrs only 6 weeks after purchase, the bike was taken to my local dealer Orangeberg who quoted the repair at approx $2300, they also placed a call to Berg Australia who refused warranty over the phone due to the hours the bike had done. (hours and km limits are not stipulated in the warranty)
Orangeberg's hands were tied so they recommended I go back to Highway performance bikes, anyway they took it up with Berg Australia and I don't know what transpired but every time I rang Performance bikes they would say things like, waiting on a reply, yep it's getting fixed, we'll pay for it, after 6 weeks of this sh*t I got the phone number for Chris at Berg Australia and I was given the excuse that they had some technical issues but they were now happy to pay for the repair of my bike and they would follow up that the warranty information on my bike was updated.
The bike has now done 15hours with Orangebergs main bearings and water pump seal fix. (I had to pay for the seal kit)
For added security I have fitted a thermo fan and coolant recovery tank and I am running it on Delo 400 with oil changes after every serious ride. I have also fitted a Scott steering dampener.
I am still very disappointed in the way this was handled, the bike is just about out of warranty now 30/01/08 so I can only hope the thing holds together after this.
Thanks to Orangeberg for the repair job and to all others that offered advice and help.
And lastly,to all, stand up for yourselves whinge and complain until your blue in the face, you purchased the item and are entitled to a good product, read and understand the conditions of the sale. Don't let them try to fool you afterwards.
They are good bikes aren't they!!

Happy Berging, See you all at the 08 Force ride.
