crank

Hello Im wondering if there are any guides on how to check on the crank bolt? Ive heard that the 2008 Bergs have a problem where the crank bolt will loosen and **** up your bike, and I wanna check on mine. And correct me if im wrong, but there are two bolts, the upper one should be...

So my mate done my a favour and sorted a few niggles on my 05 fe 450. Gave it back, problem not solved so I booked into local garage. Mechanic is trying to tell me that the sump plug has been so badly stripped that he can't simply rethread it and that I either need new crank cases or for the...

2011 FX450 Can anyone tell Me about the crank position sensor. Mine might be bad? Bike has spark , compression , fuel pressure good , fuel injector working good cleaned it and checked spray pattern also good. Bike will not start? Doesn't even run bad? No flashing lights. Help

I was wondering if anyone has ever machine a '03 32mm pin crank to fit in a 35mm pin. I think this would solve many problems such as crank spreading and conrod lifespan. The main advantage is the '05-'08 rod is 1mm longer. In that case we could use the 550 piston(23mm compression height), the...

I am chasing a crank a cylinder for a fe570,If anyone knows of any around please email me on [email protected] I am in Sydney Australia Regards,Geofie

Hi My engine has 0,7 axial clearance (roller bearings). Anyone know if this will be OK? Thanks Silverfx:eek:

im after a left half of a crankshaft for a 650 2005 to 2008 628 cc, Clutch side. Key way must be usable but can repair if slight damage

This engine has more leaks than a St.David's day cookery contest!:furious: I've finally solved (I hope!) the leaks on the left side of the motor, time to sort the right!;) Can the seal behind the ignition rotor be changed by removing the rotor and drill and tapping the seal? Not looked yet...

for the theory on this download Phil Irvings fabulous book Tuning for speed http://tuningforspeed.com/ just to show you how easy it is to check the static balance factor of a single cyl crank I could have used fancy parallels at work but i wanted to show that anyone can do this at home in...

had some trouble splitting the crank on a 2000 engine I'm doing, the last of the early engines. there is very little metal around the big end pin. one engineer refused to do it as their normal equipment couldn't do the job. I have had a plate engineered that allows this to be done now so if...

I have a 2006 FS650E. From the 2005 workshop manual I can see that there is suposed to be a locking bolt in front of the engine. This bolt does'nt exist on mine...Is there any new location of this bolt or is it just removed?

Has anybody got an old or new Conrod kit for a 450 FE 2005 to 2008 laying around, all i need is the measurement from the end of the pin to the center of the oil supply hole that aligns with the port in the crank journal. Thanks ORANGEBERG

Hi there, Im looking for a crankshaft to suit my 2006 650 FE, i had the primary gear crack through the key way groove and lost a tooth without doing damage. The problem is it ran loose for a while and ruined the key way groove and scored the shaft on the crank so somebody may have...

Hey all, Getting ready to put my project all back together soon, and I've got a brand new crank to throw in my cases, just wondering about the left hand side/primary drive side shim between the balancer and main bearing inner race. I know how to shim the right hand side to allow the right...

02 fe650, just brought it and it started really good with a few kicks. Problem is after letting it sit for a week I went to start it and got nothing before I noticed fuel leaking from all of the exhaust connections at a closer look the crank case is full of fuel. The bike was not running rich...

How much crank float should I have? I would guess my motor is about 0.5 mm Is this right? Cheers.

Thanks to all those that took an interest in the rebuild of my 2004 FE 650 with 2002 Sem motor. Bike is awaiting top and bottom shock bearings for this rebuild to be completed, engine is all wired in to the 2004 harness and running. So fingers crossed it will run OK on the 2004 carby. I...

Ok like the title says, any tips on pressing the crank pin out to replace the rod bearing? this is a 1997 fe600e. The bike is equipt with electric start and due to this there is the gear that meshes with the counter balancer in the way of the pin. The gear is pressed onto the crankshaft and it...

Hi, I was checking axial play of crank on flywheel side, by pulling it out and in. Can it be measured like what I do on picture? I measure 0,6 mm, like what I was reading in 'doc, that is ok for 2 roller bearings. Do you know what type of bearings were used in FE501 2003, in spare part is...

several of you have had the crank snap right at the end and didn't know it can be repaired well this is the job I had done to a customers crank recently! He has an '04 semi-circular/semi-pork chop crank that snapped across the base of the thread for the crank nut. so this is what was done...
