decompression

Hi Please look at the attached photo after reading below. Background: I had the bike apart forever after breaking an exhaust pivot arm. When I put it back together I think I either did not set the auto decomp spring correctly or it is broken. With engine off the spring should always keep the...

hi berg friends i am new to this world and i have a few questions to ask. i bought this 650 husaberg and it´s a f**king powerhouse i love it. but it`s also a pain in the a** to kickstart. there is a electric starter but cant crank the engine. not sure which year it´s from but i think...

Hey guys having just rebuild my engine and got the thing timed up to a T, i have now found out that the decompression lever on the engine cover on the right side does not return to its original position once the decompression lever has been pulled so that i can kick start the bike as the...

After spending months and months of taking apart my engine the engine is finally back in the bike I think my decompression lever on the engine might be set up wrong?? After removing compression in the engine to kick it over it will not return to its original position on its own to build up...

Hi all, My 04 fs650 was running great this morning (and it still does when it's running) but it doesn't want to start. The starter refuses to turn it over without a bit of manual decompression, and the motor refuses to start when that's pulled in Anyway. This coming from a bike that would...

My FS 650 e 2007 , got a problem The retaining bolt[automatic decompression] on the camshaft gear , broke and got between the rocker arm roller [inlet] and the cylinderhead top . result : a hole in the cylinderhead top , broke the roller of the inlet rocker arm . The inlet valves hit the...

Hi guys! Can anyone tell me how much does an auto decomp spirng cost on my 2004 Husaberg 650, and also where can I get one from?

Hi, I currently have a 1999 FS600e, with about 50 miles on it. Yes, 50 miles. The bike has been in storage since 1999 and I just started riding it about a year ago. So the short story is that there is something wrong with the eletric starting mechanism. Starter works, but it does not catch and...

Hello and thanks in advance for any help or insight. I have a 96 fc 400 and am having trouble getting it started. last time I took it out a couple weeks ago i had no issues. yesterday I was dying for a ride and it wouldnt start. posted about simillar prob and changed plug and it started right...

Believe it or not, I am riding a 94 501 with license plate and it has been very kind to me. I bought the bike about 2 years ago. I took the rocker box off for the first time to check things out and found that my exhaust valve rocker arm has a notch in it large enough to cause concern. I am...

Greetings chaps, Just recently bought myself a '02 fs 650. The/a previous owner had removed the decompression handle and cable and I'm now putting it back on. On page 22/figure 9D of the '02 users manual it shows a 2mm +- 1mm minimum clearance for the decompression cable, am I correct in...

Hi guys i urgently need some help, my berg was getting really hard to start only 5 hours after a new rebiuld from DCR, i thought it was something to do with the decomp as i only have a manual lever and it seemd strecthed, i had a mess and bike fired starit away. Its happned 3 times now so i...

This is probably a dumb question, this is my first 4 stroke. I accidentally pulled the decomp lever when it was idling and it killed the motor. Does this hurt anything? It is an 2008 fe450.

I just purchased a 98 fc501 in a basket. Nice bike with motor damage. Cam tensioner and cam chain issues. The motor was dissassembled buy the prevous owner. What decompression systems should this bike have? Which ones do I need? It looks like I have a kick start decompression and a...

I had always thought that the factory just forgot to install the kick start activated decompression system in this bike. I just assumed that someone forgot to drill the hole in the case by the kick starter for the lever and the next person down the line just let it go. Now I am not so sure. Upon...

Hello - I recently purchased the newer style auto decompression lever ('04 and later) for my '02 FE400. In comparision to the older style that I am replacing, it is about 2.5mm shorter in shaft length - so it doesn't fit as deep into the pocket in the cam lobe as the original. Has anyone else...

Hiya I revently took my 2001 fe650e into the shop to have the brakelever replaced, when i got the bike back, they removed the manuak decompression switch (i think that what it is)the little lever on top of the clutch lever........so,well anywayz......the removed the cable and the little lever...

I have an 07 FE450 that kicks over super easy hot or cold. So easy, I have considered taking the e-start off the bike. My buddy has an 05 FE450 that is really tough to kick over and rarely will the e-start actually start it when it is cold. It seems like the decompression system is not...

Hey guys, its been a long time since I posted on this site, I always lurk and find the answers I need. I have an 03 400 fe with 115 hours of hard riding, with no problems until now. It started with a tapping at the front top of the head, assumming it was the auto decompression cause it just...

I finally got around to doing the clean up on my bike after the Phx ride two weeks ago and this is what I found. I did the kick start shaft replacement last september and ever since have had an unusual amount of leakage from the rear end portion of my transmission cover. After talking with...
