cam

Follow on from Metal bits post. Removed the cam tensioner and it is all the way out, removed the plastic bit and that looks to be perfect / new ?? Is the cam chain streched? how much play should it have? Cheers Mike.

Well, my 2001 fe650 is now in the basement for winter maintenance and upgrades. I had a tough time getting the valves adjusted this summer And never did get it starting on the button. Ive found the cam follower bearings to be in bad shape. Could this have been my valve adjustment and electric...

I have searched and searched and have not been able to find out how to time this motor once it has been disassembled. I dropped a valve and after head work etc I'm ready to reassemble. this is my first Husaberg and can't find any timing marks to help me. My concern is the balancer? I had to...

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...

I am looking at buying a 1999 fe501 which has a snapped cam chain , is there likely to be valve and / or piston damage ???? and what would cause the cam chain to snap in the first place , I know the cam chains on these arnt very good so would it have snapped just through being a weak part ...

Looks like i will soon need to replace the cam chain on my FE400. Is there an easy and hard way of doing this ? Also to test the tensioner is it just a case of un bolting it from the engine ? I`ve never done one but want to give it a go. Cheers Bob.

Hi there! My search did not reveal a lot; is there a cam chain replacement how-to which I could consult when replacing the cam chain on my 2007 FE550? Can one simply use a cam chain link, connect the new chain to the old one via the link and pull the new chain through from the top of the...

Recently purchased a 2010 FE 390 and first job was to replace the cam chain and tensioner as previous owner hadn't realised it needed replacing!! Used standard Husaberg parts and engine is all fine. Anyway, coming from a 2006 FE 450 I still notice the 390 engine sound (tick, tick, tick) and...

I have a 2010 FE450. I installed the "ktm" version of the throttle cam system (looks very similar to the G2). And I'm using the slowest cam. My problem is this, I can't get the freeplay out of the cables. When I first installed the cam, I had about 15mm. I adjusted the cables as far as they...

Am I correct to asume a FE501 cam would be milder than a FC ??

2002 FE400. My first Husaberg, finally, and wanting to make sure things are in check. I'm aware of the recommended upgrades to both timing chain and slipper but have been unable, through searching this site as well as owners and workshop manuals, to find the proper procedure for adjusting the...

Hey Does anyone know if I can just replace the cam follower bearing on my 2005 fe550. I hear there is ktm part but can't find any info. Thanks

Can anyone tell me if the 2004 fs/fe650 iwis cham chain is compatable with the 2005 model that has a different part number? i am guessing its a DiD but not sure. Price of 2005 is $51.70Aus less than half the 2004 iwis one. Also are they the same length so you can use in 2004 motor? :cheers...

I have a lot of spares I got with my 470 and 650 I was going to update the adc and cam gear to get rid of the stop screw that the old cam gear has I was thinking of putting in the cam I had too but is this one same as what I have now or is there any difference in this cam vs the oe 650 cam Ktm...

looking at replacing the cam chain on my FS650 2004 has a iwis in it. What brands and thought has everyone got? Regina (dcr) Iris (taffy) DiD or iwis?????

Do I have to break the cam chain to change the cam and remove the head on my 01 650. Previous owner just had it changed. I don't want to fix what's not broken Thanks

Rode on my ol' stompin' grounds this weekend. Great fun, but I hate those washout ruts! Drift Stealth helmet cam worked great. [youtube:3m6fj1li]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRsG_F5l1rQ[/youtube:3m6fj1li]

So i have a couple old berg ( 01-03) seams like every one I have ever gotten has needed new cam guide (updated one) and some times a new chain due to no length left in the tensioner. Do these old style guides wear out super quick or do all the bike I get have super high hours despite the low...

Has anyone fitted the DJH Husaberg cam chain tensioner? Just wondering how much thread you had left on the adjuster after installation? Not much thread left showing on mine so I would presume my timing chain is pretty well stuffed already at 1800 klms. Anyone done the timing chain yet and...
