died

Ken died Saturday 11/14 at home. He had been quite sick for many months in and out of the hospital. We had kept in pretty good touch over the years and I would see him about once a year on my annual pilgrimage to Baja Mexico. He called me July 15 and told me he was dying and asked if I would buy...

This bike has a repurposed Magura clutch master cylinder connected directly to it's rear Brembo caliper. Has worked fine for many years. As of today, lever goes to the handlebar with no effect. Can't push fluid up through the caliper to the Magura. Can't figure out what's happening. Anyone...

I recently bought a used berg. It's a 2002 fs650 supermoto. All seemed fine, rode for 60-70 miles and all of a sudden it just died! No cough or splutter. Just cut out. I clutched in and rolled off the road. I couldn't restart the bike, the starter motor still worked but wouldn't start it...

Hi everyone. I own a 2003 501 FE and yesterday, after 4h riding with no issues the engine died while climbing a hill. Felt a sudden loss of power like it had no gas. I had like 1/3 of the tank full, so it wasnt the problem. Then after trying kick starting and electric starting it (killing the...

I was having a great second day ride up in the Reno Mountains when my Husaberg started fine with the electric start, drove approx. 30-40 yards and stopped running. No funny noises, nothing out of the ordinary. Plenty of fuel in the tank. Lots of experienced guys trying to kick it which by the...

I put on a new brand new tank (08 model, came with petcocks and cap). Started off to work and about 8 miles out as I came to a light it died. I noticed the lever petcock was closed but screw out petcock was open (these were on opposite sides of the tank that came off, an 06 tank). The only...

Hi Guys Ive got an FE400 E. Was out riding last weekend, lights were working when I set off - but it was a very wet day. I started the bike yesterday and now the lights don't work and I'm not sure what it could be... I'm hoping... that its crappy contacts that need cleaning up perhaps, but...

My engine died on my just aquired husa 650 fe, it's a 2002 model, and when i bought it I already expected it to need a rebuild this winter, but the problems came quicker then expected, well, it were a fun couple of hours on this beast anyway :D As for the problems, I was 'practicing'...
