cam

hey all - new 'berg owner here. the throttle on my 99 501fe really seems to hit hard just off idle - so much so that it can upset the bike and be really jumpy, especially on the street. the throttle is not sticky at all - it just goes from idle to almost full on in a blink. i've searched the...

Took the rocker lid off my 550 more for a nosy than anything noticed that the cam bearings didn't have the RS seals on like shown in the manual will this be any detriment to the life of the bearing or do most people remove the seals when fitting new bearings. Never come across RS bearings being...

As my no1 engine blew up at the Dyno last Monday a have to use my spare engine for the practice next Monday. There is a 2004-piston in it (the concave shaped dome). I have no experience with using the lower compression ratio that piston gives. If I remember correct it was around less than...

Hey guys, I am curious, how much cash should I expect to dish out (in US dollars) to replace the camchain, camchain sprockets (steel ones) the stock is aluminum on mine, and to update my chain tensioner on my 2000 FC501? Also, who would be good suppliers for parts? The last part that I ordered...

Will anybody be brining a helmet cam with? Live footage of dirt snacks... :D

Bearing guy seemed to think so :) Can you guys confirm that they will be ok to use in my 2005 650 :P

Alright, now I have all the parts and the time to fix my Berg, since my rocker cover exploded. I have the upgraded cam chain, along with the new plastic tensioner arm and the new tensioner itself. What steps and precautions do I need to take when replacing the cam chain, so I do not mess...

are they available for husabergs ? the acct is constantly putting pressure on the cam chain , a simple back fire can cause the tensioner to extend . the MCCT could be the solution to the stretch factor of the cam chain , as most of us know the rod of the acct can be fully extended in a...

How do I check the cam chain for wear and how can I tell if it needs to be replaced? I know it probably has some wear but when does it start to affect valve timing?

hi, the parts manual shows an 02 camshaft sprocket as a 'unique' number. does anyone know what sprockets will fit? steel or aluminium shouldn't matter, correct? i thought they were all the same but the manual says different. thanks tuts

Hello all, I know that 2004 cam is about 266degrees duration and about 10,82lift+I have also the X2 cam with his 272 degrees duration. has any body has the specs from a 2005 -2006-2007cam??? Thanks Madero

I just recently purchased some valve train and cam chain parts for my 2002 650 Fe. This was a result of the intake roller wearing out and then gouging the cam lobe. While I'm in there I figured I should replace the cam chain and upper sprocket (with a steel one). I initially was told the reason...

I posted a thread a couple weeks back inquiring about best upgrades for some valvetrain replacement on an '02 FE650. Just found out the cam is hooped as well. The intake lobe is gouged from the non-functioning roller wheel. What are the options for a cam replacement for this bike. 2002...

Hi Can anyone give me the correct size for the H/D cam chain for a 02 650 to save me pulling the top off before I get the chain. Cheers Paul

hi all guys! a couple of months ago i asked my dealer to give a steel camgear to replace my aluminium made one on my 1994 fe 600. he did gave one originated from a 06' model that will fit right in as he told me. he only mentioned that the bolts needed to be shortened a bit. i opened it this...

ok to tension the camchain do u just release the 10mm at rear of cylinder and re tighten or is there more to it than that ? ie put in gear and turn motor over by hand using rear wheel ect ?, seems a bit noise & got a bit of aluminum bits in tampon filter little bit of metal on sump plug very...

How tight should the cam chain be? I am reassembling a'98 501 with a new chain (78 link Regina) and the chain is as tight as a bowstring; the old chain I removed was also super tight. The motor was disassebled due to a whining noise and in an attempt to cure that I have replaced the main and...

I have a 2000 fe400e I bought used recently, i was riding noticed power loss and sound change and found out i lost a tappet off the valves, i also noticed wear on valve cam and had it replaced, i got the bike back form shop and ran good but backfired occasionally2 weeks later it broke down on...

I just took my new 05 KTM chain (#81036013100) out of the box and was surprised on how much thinner the side plates were. The old side plates measure .060 thick and the new chain measure .040 for the inside links and .052 for the outside links. The new chain seams to have more clearence also.Am...

Hi gang, Just wanted to check I've got my cam timing right (ish). It's an '02 650. Its a pig to start and will only start when it feels like it. Once running it runs nice. It just had a rebuild after a mains failure and the only doubt in my mind at the moment is the cam timing. Please...
