I´m changing the standard battery to an YTZ14S, and off course changing it to under the seat, to fit.
In 2002 the wiring has one yellow connected to a regulator, and to the lights and horn, so not charging the battery.
The other yellow a regulator/rectifier, and to the battery and start...
Hi Guys,
Just had a mate around who's bought an 02 FE 400...absolute prick of a thing to start....my 550 starts a heap easier...so I loked over it and observed the following.
On the decomp cable when you operat it manually:
1. It feels like the decomp lever is gonna snap...
looking into playing with the engine,now as i am aware 470cc is 62 stroke 100mmbore,can you put a longer stroke crank like a 70mm in the std 92mm bore of the 400 to give 470cc? anyone done it
I have a fe 400 02 and havent had any problems but hasnt run for about a month.
I drained the carb kicked it 5-6 times and it started, left it going for about 5 mins and it started to pop then stalled.
I have tried to start it back up and it will fire first kick but only run for about 2-3...
I am looking to lace some motard wheels for my FE 400 and am looking for used hubs / wheels to do it. What hubs and wheels will interchange with my model ?

I just happened across a good 98 FE 400 and it followed me home. I need to get some lighting on it and have a dual 100 watt PIAA setup off of a XR600 and want to know if the stator can handle 100 watts ? Also is it AC or DC on the lighting output. I like to run...
Hi,
Just wondering if any one can tell me the size of the socket for spark plug as i cant find it anywhere in my owners manual and it seems a bit tricky to get to it. So wana make sure i have the right size so im not rounding it of etc.

My stock exhaust is damaged and my choices for replacement are either expensive (Akropovic) or nothing.
Has anyone tried a tuneable Supertrapp on their 'Berg? They have a whole range or universal exhausts:

Anyone (Taffy ?) know what jetting changes are likely to be needed after fitting 501 headers to a 400. I did it today but could not really detect any real power difference except that it felt a bit smoother. Carb is Keihin FCR MX 39mm and muffler is a Big Gunn, the rest is pretty standard...
I just seized a 2001 Fe 400 after a lower hose fell off. Bike has about 80 hours on it and I paid 2K for it. This bike is in perfect condition other than this. The bike was shut off prior to seizing and it was easy to break the piston free, the sleeve has a small score mark. Parts are around...
just checked the OD of the flywheels today and the 470 has another 1.75mm on the flywheels than the 400.
so although we think that they're the same - they're NOT!
it's just a little extra metal trying to help keep it all balances that's all.
BTW, anybody made a home made flywheel...
Just wanting to know if a radiator from a 2001 400 will fit a 2006 550
I need to repair or replace my 550 radiator due to damage and have found a good second hand one which is cheaper than repairing mine
thanks for any info
trieing to get hold of a 2003 fe400 head gasket, been told its 95mm bore in the book but the one i took out was 93mm bore and fitted correctly? which is right?
cheers
my 2003 FE400 seems to be having trouble starting off the starter.
it isnt engaging as such, it'll do half a revoloution then stall then next time u push the button it just spins up without engaging, hardly ever engaging?
which is the bet combo of starter/battery for a reasonable price...
I have 2 problems which I think relate to the same thing:
1. Really hard to start on hot. Cold: 1-2 kicks.
2. Stalls when slightly opening the throttle from idle.
I'm a beginner mechanic not very experienced with bikes so I try to explain everything step by step.
FE 400 2002 had 17...
I bought a shot Hsb 400, and repaced the engine with a 650. Now the carb is still from the 400, and as soon as I get my new cdi, I'm planning to go riding.
Will the carb cause me any troubles? If it will, how do I prevent it? Which jets must I cange and what sizes do I need for the 650 setup...
hwy people please help me if ya can .....i've just bought a berg 400 fe and i can't get it to tick over i've tried everything :cry: :cry: the mixture screw and the tick over screw don't seem to do anything any ideas??????? :?: :?: :?: :?:
Hi i know this has probably been mentioned in here before, but i think my carb needs attention. i have never delved into carbs before and i have no idea how to set it right. what i would like to know is (in simple terms ) what jetting i should be using etc. Oh! and it's a Dellorto, Thanks
