adjustment

Whilst replacing my worn clutch plates a while back, I think I may have lost the adjustment washer (which sits between the pushrod and pressure sleeve). D'OH! My clutch still works, but I've had to use almost all the adjustment on both the handlebar and engine levers. What diameter and...

The locknut I found the other day was not the one that came loose last year and wrecked the bike. It is actually the new one that I put in replacement. Same exact valve (intake left). I already talked to Berger about this and he thinks the thread on the adjustment screw might have become...

Hi, I´m looking for the correct Throttle valve height Couldn´t find any info :( in the owner-,workshop- or parts-manual & owner doc ... Carb is a Keihin FCR 41 , Bike a FE550/07 Can anybody help?

Anybody knows the size of the valve adjustment locknuts on the 2001? Danke schoen.

I have read the entire owner's manual twice and the repair manual and nowhere did I find a description of the AP adjustment. I have read Taffy's stuff in the Doc about bringing the gap down to 0.028". My question is does a zero gap = zero squirt time? The reason I ask is because I have...

I just bought a used 2005 FE450E; only 39 hours. It had the, now standard, starting issues. I am not mechanically gifted. (I learned everything from working on my 03 FE400 and using this site. Taffy, thanks for the Doc.) I think what I just experienced may be of interest to new Husaberg...

Does anyone have a good source for a valve adjustment tool for an 05 650? The tool I've seen looks to be like a 10mm socket with a handle attached but open at the top to allow for easy adjustments and has MP 08-0073 on it. It's shown here but I'd hate to buy all 3 pieces when I need only 1 one...

Hi! I have an old (veteran?) 350 Husa from -92 that has been converted to a 400. The 89-95 Husa's has a valve adjustment screw that is solid, without any "elephant foot" as the -96 and newer bikes have. When checking with the Husa-parts shops around the original 89-95 screws (part no 200...

Hey folks, A small group of us from the East coast are heading to Moab the 1st week of May for 10 days of riding. Curently at sea level. Any suggestions regarding tweaking / adjusting the carb for the elevation change? Riding a new to me 05 FE550. I assume it is currently stock set up but...

I am in the process of rebuilding a KTM560 SMR that lost it's crank bearings after 6 hours.(brand new) I see that KTM and Husaberg both specify to only shim for proper clearance on the ignition side. Is there a reason to only shim that side? The reason I ask is when my crank was removed...

'04 450FE - Yes I've read the doc. I had a friend come over to help adjust the valves because I wasn't sure if I was on TDC on the comp stroke. He proceeded to show me how to turn the engine over with the rear wheel until the exhaust valves start to open, and then he adjusted the...

Something bizarre when I try to adjust the valves. I have it at TDC, on the compression stroke. I know because I watched the valves go up and down and also there is no slack in the decomp cable. Adjusting the intake valves was easy. Did the 1/3 turn out. But the exhaust valves, for some...

Hi, I recently bought a '99 600FE. I had a problem with the clutch as it wouldn't disengage. After inspection I found there was no adjustment washer fitted. Probably the previous owner forgot to fit one or lost it or something. Can anyone tell me what material the washer is made of...

Hi there all Bergers! ;D I'm new here and from Sweden so you'll have to excuse my poor English. A while ago I bought a Husaberg FE501 1990, and now it’s time for a valve adjustment. :mrgreen: I’ve searched and searched but not found an exact answer so now I’m asking...

Well, as some of might remember, I bought a 1999 Husaberg FE400 a couple of weeks ago. I've been having a good time on it, but decided I need to give it a fairly good look over now that I've been getting used to it and moving my fat ass a little faster on it. Anyway, the previous guy I bought...

Hallo again, fellow riders! I´m curious to know what would happen if you adjusted the valves at "the wrong" TDC? Or what would happen if you adjusted them at the right TDC but too tight or too loose? Maybe this is an old and common question, but I´ve searched the forum and could...

I am aware of the value train failures that the 01-03 bergs are prone to, but I have yet to experience one myself. Anyways... I put my 01 FX650 together after being apart for almost 10 months and adjusted the valves. After one sixth gear trip around the neighborhood the valves self- adjusted to...

I am doing my first valve adjustment on my new 650. I have the valve covers off and the spark plug out. My question is, how do I get that puppy to top dead center so the valves will be relaxed and ready for adjustment? I thought I could just roll it over with the kick start until the piston came...

With the older engines it's possible to use the 1/8 method of valve adjustment, how about the 2005 engines? They need 0,12 clearance..... I suppose it's back to fiddling around.....?? Thanks!

Is there anything to do to adjust the clutch. I can bleed or add oil to the clutch reservoir but I don't know any thing else to do.. so if you help me I'll be glad.. I added some oil but even though pulling the lever till the end the clutch doesn't disengage properly and it creeps in the...
