    Clutch Adjustment Washer

    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...

    Valve adjustment locknut coming loose

    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...

    AP and how the adjustment works?

    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...

    Hard E-Starting - bad adjustment of auto-decomp

    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...

    Source for valve adjustment tool.

    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...

    Valve adjustment screw replacements

    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...

    crank shaft end play adjustment?

    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...

    valve adjustment

    '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...

    Valves adjustment screw turns endlessly

    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...

    Clutch pushrod adjustment washer

    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...

    Valve adjustment that has become a little more-need advice

    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 *** a little faster on it. Anyway, the previous guy I bought...

    What if? valve adjustment!

    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...

    Value Train Adjustment

    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...

    Valve adjustment question?????

    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...

    Valve adjustment

    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!
