Although Husabergs are best known for their relatively short term rides as dirt bikes & supermotos, I converted my '05 FE550e into a street legal dual sport and am having very good results. After a 200 mile ride yesterday I used only 3.1 gallons of gas for an average of 65 mpg. I cruise at 70...
Hello all,
I am down to my last project before spring gets here. I decided to attempt a install of my dual sport kit from Rick at Boss. I am a horrible mechanic and other than changing oil and filter my confidence drops off the cliff fairly quick. I cant help think about Scott Pecks famous...
I have just received my 2nd Lineaweaver racing Dual Spring Valve Spring Kit.
The kit consists of inner and outer springs, bottom spring shim, and titanium spring retainers for 4 valves. Dale claims the seat pressure is the same and the peak pressure is 1/3 of OEM if I recall correctly. This...
yup....with the price of gas....
i'm looking for suggestions as to where to find the parts. also would a milder cam be advisable for valve train longetivity?
I have heard of bergs in oregon being delivered new in dual sport trim. Can I legally convert my 2006 fe 650 to road legal in Oregon? Any tips to help would be appreciated.

I'm looking to pick up an '07 550 and am curious as to who makes the dual canister exhaust (similar to the CRF 250) that I've seen some pro's running. I know it's out there but don't know who makes it. Please let me know if you have any clue how to obtain it.
Thanks,
John
I have just got back on a berg after a brief 2 smoke stint the first thing i have noticed is the lack of being able to get the power down in slippy conditions like hill climbing and off cambers compared to a 2 smoke the power seems to aggressive and wheel spin is innevitable.I am looking at...
Howdy all,
Thought I'd jot down a quick overview from my race on Saturday 5-7-05 at the Mothers Day cop out @ Red Mountain.
Well, the start was pretty damn dangerous. Not only was there tall grass hiding the rather large TV set size rock, the left side of the start had to swing to the...
I read in Dirt Rider Magazine that Steve Ramones 06 works KTM 450 has a dual cam head run with chain and gears. Talk around my local dealer is that Husaberg will get the same top end. Will it happen in 06? I went in to my dealer to buy an 05 FE 550. Some other lucky fellow just bought the last...

I have a few questions for all you technically savvy guys out there about engine design and performance.
It seems to me that there are a fair number of dual overhead cam designs out there for high performance 4-stroke dirtbikes (maybe more than single cam/rocker arm designs?). I have noticed...
A friend of mine who has a dealership has just picked up the Husaberg line. I haven't talked to him yet about it, I wanted to get a few owners opinions first. How hard is it to convert one to Street legal status? I was thinking the 550 or 650. I'm 46, 6' 200 lbs and had a KTM 300 exc I was...
