Hello everyone. I'm hoping those more knowledgeable than me can help me out here please.
My 2007 FS550E has just clicked over to 12,500km. It's running very well and I've no complaints, pulls nice and strong and starts easy on the boot. Such a fun bike.
However, I see the manual calls for...
Hello everyone, I’m looking at purchasing a blown up 2013 Husaberg TE300.This will be my first Husaberg so I am not very familiar with how universal the parts are with the KTM’s. The Owner thinks it’s the bottom end so I am currently researching parts just to see what I might be getting myself...
I need to change all the bottom end bairings on my fe400 big end, little end and main crank bairings, is it possible to do this myself? I have access to a press, but not much more bike related equipment. Is balancing essential? I'm doing the bearings then selling it, I've had enough of it now...
Just got my FS shock back from servicing, and removing the spacer.
It's full length now, like my FE forks.
I searched and can't find an answer.
I want to rotate the bottom of the shock and install it so that I can adjust the rebound easily-er...from the left side.
My chain slider is...

Hey guys,
I got a heap of gear of Taffy earlier in year and rebuilt my bike after cracking a piston.
As I was putting it back together I noticed when turning the crank over there was a slight clunk at 1 specific point every turn. Always at the exact spot. Didnt think much of it thougth once...
Was out riding with friends on the weekend on my 2003 FE 501 when I noticed
there was a real rattly noise coming from the bottom end of the engine.
Bike still starts and rides fine, plenty of power.
Any suggestions about what it could be?
Help! I took my 2001 FE501 out for a ride this weekend when I discovered something rather puzzling. At the start of the ride the bike ran great but later on I noticed a hesitation on the lower end of the throttle range. I had been riding at a consistent high RPM range for long periods of time...
Hi, tried to turn the reb. on my brothers 450 08', but we cant find the bottom. Took it apart and as I see it the rod that runs in the center should be a mechanical stop, not the clicker it self?
How many clicks should it be if everything works right?

I'm finding that after riding through a lot of water, i loose my tickover. So i screw the idle adjustment screw in a bit, but then it struggles to start off the button and generally requires fiddling with the mixture screw..... However, if it were dry, the...

Recently going over my 04 FE450 after a wash & I noticed the bottom radiator mount has broken off the frame. The rubber isolator piece on the stub mounted to the frame is not appearing to come off without destroying it. I'm a little stumped on how to attached the short stud back to the frame...
when rebuilding my engine i noted that the barrel/spigot/lining or whatever; had ripples at the top and bottom but badly at the top?
