camchain

Hey folks, I am in the process of repairing a broken timing chain on my 2003 fs650. I thought i was ready to start putting the head back on until my last few parts arrived, the new camchain/timing chain guide (front) is nearly twice the length of the one currently installed on the bike...

Fired it up after installing Camchain, setting valves and for final touches new Kevlar grips. https://youtu.be/B7t5N6Vgrds pollo

I grinded off the old DID and clipped on the IWIS. 147hrs on the old chain. Cam and Followers look good, covered it up before grinding. Wired on the new chain and wired the old chain to the bars. Started at TDC so the tough spot would be at the end. Took my time and clipped it on.

The last ride was good and my 06 FS650 ran well. I had been meaning to check the Camchain tensioner so I did so today. At 147 hrs it's maxed out on the last click. Its a good thing I checked it and I also have an IWIS 70 I got from Taffy waiting to go in. This will be the second time for me. I...

Hello guys. A quick question: IWIS camchain standard on a 2003 650? Cheers, Tom

Hello, I fitted a new camchain yesterday by myself and thought I would share. My 2005 FE650 had only 2 clicks left at 105hrs. Thanks to Taffy for the IWIS 70 link camchain. So I used the ziptie method of finding TDC as I always have by putting it down the spark plug hole. Bike in 6th gear and...

I never thought i would ask this question, this whole rebuild is really kicking my *** lol... Reusing the camchain, it is the old dark link regina that i believe i read were really good, during dissassembly the tensioner still had plently of clicks left. I marred up one tooth on the camchain...

iv got oil leaking from the cap.i suspect its just the seal/gasket.if i get a dirttricks tensioner our they easy to fit & i take it it will come with new seal resolve the leak 09 fe

Hey i just bought a dirt tricks camchain tensioner and i need some advice how to install it. Does it require a special tool? Does it matter when i remove the old tensioner, do i have to lock the engine or something? And i suppose i have to lay the bike down and install it collapsed like it said...

Anyone have any ideas, as to reasons why?, my riding buddy has the KTM 400 (2009) :D the cam chain tensioner is an identical part to the 2010 Husaberg tensioner, he reckons. So he was warning to keep an eye out for it. The tensioner piston failed during a 4 hour ride. Symptoms were a knocking...

So I got a cam chain, and valve rocker arms, and a local engine guy is doing the work. He's very experienced with ktm, but not so with husaberg. Apparently on some ktm's it's necessary to remove the head to replace the cam chain. Is that so on the berg? Anyone got a link to a quick outline of...

Hello! I have a Fe550 2004 with 160 hr´s on it. The last owner stripped the engine at 100 hr's after a crack in the engine case. They "measured" everything in the engine he said, and changed the camchain. I checked the camchain tensioner today, and it was fully extended. I have read...

now here is a subject that we may not have touched on before! just how much pressure is being put on the back of the tensioner blade? sparks has chopped some off and feels sure that this is part of the problem in chain wear! so sparks and i talked of how it could be measured remove...

i offer links to two threads that discuss the best camchain. this thread backs the DID chain: http://www.husaberg.org/index.php?name= ... t=camchain this thread backs the IWIS chain: http://www.husaberg.org/index.php?name= ... light=iwis however, within you'll see that someone has...

ok i want to put this in the doc. i need to know what a camchain is new over a certain distance? you've all seen how you measure the final drive chain over 18 links and 272mm etc etc. can someone take a new camchain and do the same over a set distance? we'll use that as a baseline for...

hi guys is to soon to change the cam chain at 27 hours i have a new standard IWIS 70 rolls camchain to put in...

Hi everyone, I'm going to tear into the motor to investigate the oil smoke issue (see separate post). Whilst I'm doing this, I plan to replace the camchain, as it's used up almost all of the travel on the tensioner. What upgrades will work on my year 2000 FC600? I see most of the upgrades...

Comes from my '03 bike. Is the already an upgraded tensioner?

yet another question to clarify the doc! have they changed the pitch of the chain and thus the camwheels top 'n bottom? i know froggy brought something up about this? regards Taffy

Whilst my bike is partially stripped-down I plan to check the camchain tension, valve clearances and timing. What order should this be done in? 1) Check camchain tension? 2) Set Valve clearances? 3) Check ignition timing? Does it matter? I don't think my camchain tensioner spring is strong...
