1997

Hello, I am a proud new owner of a FE600 1997 (without electric starter). Unfortunately I have some questions about my new ride that I cant answer myself. 1. It doesn’t have a manual decomp. Should it have one? The previous owner told me that it has a full automatic decomp but since...

When popping out the rear wheel bearings on my 97 it seemed as though the hub spacer may be slightly too long. What leads me to believe this is before I removed the bearings it felt as though they were seized. Both were very hard to turn by hand. But once removed the wheel bearings spin freely...

I am being told that 97 HBG's rear fenders were fluorescent yellow. I have also been told there is a yellow fender that isn't fluorescent. Is this true and were do I find a part #. Thanks in advance FRITZ

IT REALLY NEEDS A BIGGER TANK... I know "BOSS" has something for the newer models...Says he has nevered tried to mount one to a 1997 model. How about the old ones...Anything out there??? Thanks for the advice...

I had always thought that the factory just forgot to install the kick start activated decompression system in this bike. I just assumed that someone forgot to drill the hole in the case by the kick starter for the lever and the next person down the line just let it go. Now I am not so sure. Upon...

Hi there, can anybdy tell me, if I can outfit my 1997 frame with 2004 triple clamps??? If yes, is there a change in geometry? Thanks so far

The owner says it has less than 10 hours on it and it looks like it has even less than that. The bike is pristine and the price is right. Are/were there any major issues with that year/model. I've had Jap bikes all my life, so this will be a new arena for me. Any input appreciated...

Somebody stole my 1997 FC501 last night from my house in Phoenix. If anyone hears of a 97 needing jets it could be mine!!! I know it's a long shot, but if anyone happens to have any info, please drop me an email. It doesn't have stickers on the tank. I can't think of any other identifying marks...

Hey Dan....or anyone, Looking for the H-Line graphics to fit my 97FE400. Does anybody know where I can find these? I have searched all over the web with no luck. The style I am talking about can be seen on my bike in the gallery. Stuart

I have a 1997 FC501 and it has a close ratio transmission. I was wondering if anybody knows if I can just change fifth and six gear or if I need to change all the gears? The reason for wanting to change to a wide ratio gear box is because the bike is daul sported and while going down the road to...

Anybody have the info? I only have access to the 1999 manual and as far as I can see the 1999 comes with a different carb than the 1997.

Okay, I know this sounds like a dorky question but this is my first 4 stroke dirt bike and I still have my 99 KTM EXC 200 and will need to make a decision on which one to keep pretty soon. I just bought the 501 and after an oil change took it out for a 25 mile ride in some technical woods...
