cam

Hey all. I just finished up a valve adjustment, my first one on my new FE570. It went according to all the tutorials and the book and was pretty simple. The only thing I'm worried about is I haven't seen any specific info on installing the cam chain tensioner and I don't want to mess that up...

Hi all I want to replace the timing chain on my 07 FS550 soon. I've bought a new standard DID chain together with the standard joining link to suit. I know there's a ridiculously expensive OEM tool that can be used to make the join but are there any other aftermarket tools that will do this...

I have a rattly cam chain and it appears to be the tensioner. I came across the Dirt Tricks tensioner and wanted to ask if this is the answer? I'm not interested in a manual tensioner and wanted to retain the hydraulic tensioner but one which works. Thanks

Hi there, Recently, I think I've started noticing a different ticking sound coming from my 2011 FS570, which has 140 hours on it, and around 9,300 km. It hasn't been ridden particularly hard by me. No long distance high revs, mostly just braaping around town cracking small wheelies. I've been...

Alo. Just bought another berg 2012 450. Kept my 11 so far. But i have a question! On The 11 and earlier its allmänt mandatory to change to a manual tensioner. As i rode home with The 12 bike today i called a buddy. He believed that they changed the tensioners on The 12s. Is this True? Or...

Hi, Has anyone ever installed the DT tensioner on a '13 FE 250? In their website they say it should fit '14 models, but no indication for '13. I did try to install the TC-2 model, but it was too long and didn't fit. KTM Timing Chain Tensioner Style 2 | Dirt Tricks Thanks Elasio

I'm looking for the right steel cam gear that will fit a 98 fc501. The one KTM has that is common is 34 tooth and not as thick. What I would like is a 30 tooth steel cam gear that is much closer to the stock aluminum gear. Could anyone send a part # to me. THanks

Hi, anyone can help me, what cam lobes sizes should be in my 2000 fe501. I have a problem. When i put TDC, set valve clearance (0,1), and turn cam, the clearance grow to ~2,5mm (on all valves). Do not see any significant damages on camshaft or arms. Any ideas? My lobes 33,4mm x 25,8mm...

With engine parts becoming hard to source its becoming increasingly difficult to understand what parts will work with others when you locate NOS in some of the old Husaberg dealerships Point in case is the timing chains fitted to bikes from 1989 to 2004. My understanding is that Husaberg (and...

Hi, I have just finished the rebuild of my 1992 FE350 I have good compression the valve timing seems right, set up at tdc with both cam lobes facing down. I installed the stator coil with the single point to the top and the timing marks to the bottom right. when i kick the bike over with the...

'06 628cc cam marked 820-08. 5/2522 Can anyone give me the spec for this cam? We're looking for valve lift, timing etc. Need as much info as possible to match gas flow with oversize valves. Many thanks

hello! I basically put the lower cam chain sprocket the wrong way around and it slid all the way to the bottom with one or to gentle taps, preheated to 200C. There is maybe 2 mm room between the teets and aluminium. No chance for the puller to reach in. I did get some steel wire around the...

I was hoping someone would be able to help me out with the measurement for where the tensioner sit in the head. Following the explosion of the top end I've finally got it welded up but lost the location of the bolt for the tensioner for a 2002 fe400 head. If someone could help me out with this...

hello! I checked the cams when i bought the bike, i could not find any signs of wear. aproximately 1000km afterwards i discovered small shiny chunks of metal in the oil screen. Turns out that cam follower bearing is chewed away along with the camshaft on the exhaust side. Unknown when camshaft...

Got my engine in to one piece for a long time. :p Still waiting for my yellow as f**k frame and brp special black swingarm. :cool: So I had nothing to do and decided to check everything possible on the engine, valve clearances etc. Timing chain tensioner had only 4 clicks left. :eek...

Anyone put an aftermarket cam in a FE 570? I have a 2011 FE 570 and I am building it for a snow bike this winter with w Timbersled Kit on it. The snow bikes like the top end as that is where we spend most of out time, banging limiter haha I heard the 570s could benefit from some top end...

Hello, I recently bought a 2002 year Husaberg FE 501 and when I pulled the clutch cover to check for the source of leaking oil I noticed that the cam chain had made small scratches into the block. It seems that the harder I push on the chain tensioner blade the closer it moves to the block. I...

Hello there, I recently bought a new DJH tensioner for my FS570, before fitting it i decided to called my dealer mechanic and he told me to not remove the factory tensioner without the engine being at TDC or the chain could jump causing the cam timing to go out. I questioned him on this and...

2005 FE550. 3rd owner, 358 hours, 13000km, unsure when it was last rebuilt, or ever. I’m getting lots of metal sludge and shavings on my drain plug magnet and I’m trying to track down the source. The plug in the picture is after 1.8 hours (fresh oil) and there’s quite a bit of stuff on it...
