550

Test rode an '05 Husaberg FE 550 this week. DAMN what a glorious machine. Low-hour bike, very clean specimen. And of course completely different from the Suzuki DR-Z400 I currently own. The word that best describes the 550's power is unreal. It's not brutal, angry or monstrous, it is absolute...

Bike starts fine but when hot miss fires and cuts out! I have had it serviced and carb cleaned but it still kept doing it. I've replaced the black box under the seat and it still keeps doing it! Is it the coil? Can anyone help pls? I haven't had the bike long and im desperate to get out on it.

Guys, Just wanted to ask if anyone has found a good after market shift lever that'll fit my 04' 550. May need to go back to the standard unit. I got one of Taffy's as a spare and when it's fitted it seems the spline is a little out of synq. The head of the lever is either somewhat to...

For some inexplicable reason I'm contemplating removing these from my bike, 1. Too bulky 2. Looks messy 3. Old school. Can someone please talk some sense into me. Look how tidy: http://motoprofi.com/motospecspictures/ ... -2007.html

Just found out that the pistion pin height to crown is 0.4 higher on the 550 piston vs 650 piston so higher compression anyone used a 550 piston in a 650? Maybe thats why wossner list them as same part number 550/650 anyone know????

G'day all, I was out bush doing a few fire trails and all of a sudden sounded like it has rocks inside the motor, though it still runs as normal no smoke coming out of the exhaust. What do you think it is?? just to see what im up for???

Just looked up getting a new piston for my fs650 2004 and wossner list 8551da,8551db,8551dc 99.94,99.95,99.96 for fitment 2003-2009 fc fe 650 and 550 is this correct????

Guys, Just fitting a fan kit to my 550 and with the fan securely in place and aplace to install an in line thermo stat thank sto pointers from some fuorum members, I started to (over a cold beer) try to figure which way I was going to power the fan. I'm fitting a KTM X-CW kit which has...

can anyone tell me if this is a simple crank change? i have to install a new balancer in my 470 anyway so i was thinking of increasing the displacement if it is reasonably easy

Hi there! My 550 has the following symptoms; runs very strong from closed throttle to WOT for +- the 1st 30min Thereafter, on pilot jet, it literally runs as if the choke is out; sputters, won't idle etc. Once it manages to get on the main jet, it pulls like before again. Other info: -It has...

I just spent two days out in the desert riding my 2011 FE570S with my friend and his KTM. Both bikes were packed with camping gear and fuel, andd the Husaberg was flawless. The KTM, well, it lost two gears before we returned home. Just to be clear, that is rare for a KTM, I know, I've got...

Ive almost done a deal on an 09 FE 550. The bike has covered 2000 miles. Is there anything i should be looking out for on this model or are they pretty bomb proof? Its a supermoto so has only done little off road

I changed my oil in my bike for the first time since I had it, there were some small metal shavings in the metal/screen behind the drain plug, does this mean I have the big cam in my bike? if so should I be concerned and change to a diff cam, cam bearings, timing chain etc, in order to prevent...

Hey all, I recently bought an '02 FC 550(my first motorcycle ever), and I seem to have buggered it. When I bought it, the clutch lever was pretty easy to pull. It took two fingers, and wasn't too hard at that. After my second ride, I changed the oil. The clutch cable got in the way of...

Hi there, I have an intermittent electrical problem on my 05 550. Every now and then indicators and starter go dead when the bike is not running, (normally they work). and when it is running the indicators flash quickly and dim. Putting high beam on slows them down a little. The tacho also...

Hello, As I see many of you live near the mountains and have same experience, so my question is: what is the best set of sprockets for the mountains riding? Just I am planning my first trip to the mountains and would like to hear your opinion about the best combination of front and rear...

My 1st topic :!: Bought this pipe off our local forum last week: http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=95707.0 Googling the exhaust, it was evident that unlike a normal slip-on, the header pipe slides into the silencer, as opposed to the slip-on, slipping onto the header pipes...
