hi all i am new to the Berg experience. i have taken a FS 650e (05)for a test ride and am about to trade my 04 FZ1 but after reading some of the things that go wrong with the bergs i am unsure
the FS650 has done 900 kms and looks and sounds in good cond the last owner shat him self so sold it.
what should i look for or listen for and are they mostly reliable.

Not Much Goes Wrong With The '04 And Up Husabergs Some Have Trouble With Mains Going But These Are Mostly The Bikes That Have A Few Hours Or Are Raced I Think. Very Early '04 Bike Had Poor Soldered Connections That Come Loose.
If You Know How Well The Bikes Been Looked After That Will Help.
What Are You Planning Using The Bike For? The Sunday Thrash For A Bit Of Fun Or Using Every Day?
If It Was Me I'd Keep Some Money Aside For Repairs As These Are Based On Racing Bike And They Require More Maintaince Than Other Bikes.
Changing The Oil Every 300 Miles Or So.
Those That Use This Bike Will Be Along To ick Holes In What I've Put Up Here Soon Though.

the 650's from '04 on are reliable as kez says, some had mains trouble and that's all.
