501

Hey all, was wondering if it would be viable to swap out a 98 Fe501 engine for a 350 around the same year. Reason being, I lost a water pump seal on a long ride and consequently washed out all my bearings / Engines pretty much done for. However, I do happen to have a 350 (engine only) in near...

I purchased this bike recently and it had been sitting for years. The bikes carb, battery, fluids, have been changed or cleaned. I was able to get The bike fire once for about two seconds and now nothing. Does not seem to have any spark. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please help me? I have a fc501 and it's backfiring when I try to start it I can't get it to run can somebody help me with timing it

Does anybody want new original parts? If yes then speak up. Read my other post in marketplace.

Recently I stumbled upon a collection of new original parts. I want to get a sense what is the need for them like. Plastics, seats, seat covers, cylinders, brake discs, cables, fuel tanks, foot pegs, fuel tank caps probably aluminum, some exhaust pipes, lic plate brackets, tail lights, triple...

I read that the valve clearance is supposed to be 0,10mm. I'm not exactly sure what that means? Am I supposed to use the 10mm for the intake and exhaust? Is there a tolerance or is it only 10mm? Thanks for your help.

Howdy, bought this bike from a kid who had lowered it. Being 6'5" and 260# nekked it's going to have to be re-done. Anyone with similar bike and human build get me into the ballpark with spring rates and source? Oil level for forks? Anyone shimming the shock? Did a search for...

Picked up this '98 some years ago, fire sale from a kid. Finally got her up on the table for some fine tuning. Great site.

I just bought a 1997 Fe 501 and need to change the head gasket. My two questions as of right now are: 1: How do you find dead up right center for the timing chain? 2: How do you take off the timing chain? Thank you for your response and helping a new owner out.

Greetings guys, Steve here (aka Foss/Fossil). I'm just looking for some help/ info on a '99 Husaberg 501 (FE I think) that I just inherited. I know all the previous owners but I'm not in touch with most of them any longer, since I quit racing a few years ago. So, I figured this would be the...

Hi all, So I had never really known what a Husaberg was, until Thursday when I was sent a link to a local one by a friend. I've been in the market for another off-roader ever since selling my XR400R about a year ago and seeing loads of bikes out on Salisbury Plain near where I live. Well...

Hello, I'm from Germany and already a member for a while (2015) and reading your posts with interests. I bought a FE 501 model 2002 a while ago. Since I own the bike there's permanent trouble with it. I had it already in a former Husaberg workshop to get the engine fixed (ball bearings...

Not new to the bike realm but this is my first husaberg and the first problem i ran into this forum was amazing with a solution so this is my question 1999 501 and i cant seem to find the oil filter all i can find is screw in cap spring and oil screen so i guess my real question is does this...

Just picked up my husaberg Having a problem getting my clutch to disengage seems like the push rod is to short any ideas

Hello, I just started a rebuild on my 1994 Husaberg FC501. My cylinder is scored and out of round so I would like to bore it and buy an oversized piston. I read that it is possible to bore the cylinder and use a 551 cc later model piston. My question is: Do I have to resleeve my cylinder, or...

I'm trying to get into the engine, to check the cylinder head. I have run into trouble getting the timing chain off. whats the best method? I'm considering splitting the chain but any other suggestions are good.

I currently have a 1995 FE 501. Can I use a 1997 FE 501 camshaft with the auto decompression in the 1995 head? If this is possible, should i disconnect the cable from the kickstarter and let the auto decompression on the cam do it's job? All input is appreciated!

While I have it tore down this far is it good to replace the timing chain and cam gear? And what are some good resources for finding such parts or cross overs to something else that will work in it. I have a 2005 fs with a 97 501 motor.

I picked up a 94 FE 501 a few months ago. It had sat outside in the weather for over a year, and was looking pretty rough. I was able to get it running a couple weeks ago, with just a good cleaning of the carb and rinsing the tank out. I am doing a mild restoration - essentially, just getting...
