failure

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...

My rear brake has stopped working. The bike has been standing for about two weeks, the brake fluid was a bit low and the brake was pretty bad. But when I tested it the day after the brake did not work at all. I have tried to bleed it, with pretty much air coming out but the brake still not...

After of totaly 75 engine hours,I notice that clutch didnt work fine last time I use the bike.With wheels on air,rear wheel moved strong when I put 1st gear and the clutch lever was pushed to the bar.I new that was about time to change the clutch liner discs,so I disassemble the presure plate...

just trying to get the SP on the faliures people have had with these in the past? i have noted a very tiny hole in the crank cheek of the '04 engines. the hole is about 0.2mm and just off the left crank journal. its aimed directly at the balancer bearings ball race. so with this in...

hi guys and gals, I know there is a thread about this but im more interested in how many people have actually had dramas concerning these bearings.Is it a major issue or been blown out of proportion? Ive recently purchased an 04 fe 550 so am wondering if it is an issue. I would prefer to here...

you're rebuilding the LHS cover of your engine and you need to tighten the gear nuts so you use the half spreed shaft as a lever, a place upon which to rest your bar? second scenario you put the two nuts on the two gears the wrong way around so the recess faces up. next thing you know...

Hello all, Sorry for this new topic regarding SEM Stator but I have read so many posts concerning this subject that I'm a bit confused now, so if anybody can help me it would be nice ...Here are the data of my problem: -I've got a FSE 650 2002 that i do not use very often (3000 km only)...

Hi to all, I'm quite new in electrical problems, so i have to ask, even there are many posts for that anyway. On his first start for this season the bike suddenly stopped, it worked only for 3 min. I checked, there is no spark and measured about 11-13V from the stator, when I'm kicking. Bike is...

The original bearings that are fitted to your to the range of Husaberg motorcycles are failing regularly the NJ206 bearing inner race will shed metal and put it through your engine and ruin the chrome bore and piston, KTM has the same problem on their EXC 450 -525 and use the same bearing...

Hey Guys, need some input with a "bearing rattle" that seems to be coming from my bike, just behind the clutch basket. I have worked around the bike with a screwdriver to ear & the most noise seems to be coming from behind the clutch cover at the rear of the engine. I've got perfectly clean...

Owner of a fe550 2005 from new. The bike is great when its going. :( My first engine failure happened with a starter clutch failure at 12 weeks old. My mate purchased a fe550 at the same time and had main engine bearing fail in the first 4 weeks from new. Now my bike is sitting at the...

No idea whats wrong. Has been maintained with 500km oil changes religously and oil filters as well as airfilter etc etc. Mate was slowing down to a stop and before he had wanted to stop the bike engine actaully stopped and then would not restart. He heard no ticking or hammering noises etc...

At 49 hours/ 1279 miles My 550 had a failure of the starter clutch. Broke two teeth off the starter sprague inner that meets the clutch outer basket. One tooth fell to the bottom and the other jambed in the clutch teeth. Locked the motor on the clutch side. I dont use the starter to climb up...

The following picture is that of the very first documented US failure of a post 2000 Husaberg engine. http://www.dtol.net/disp_pic.php3?pid=29873 Wow! 8O Time sure flys when you are having fun. Dale

Hey there, I have on 02 400 fe that I have owned for about two weeks. while doing my most recent oil service I discovered bits of a small bearing cage sitting by the oil scree. it turns out it is the cam bearings. I am in the process of tearing down the motor completely for inspection. Are these...

Guys, too bad I didn't read EVERYTHING in this forum. It's been a long time since I've been here. Too bad for me as I would have known to change out my rocker bearings before they died. I have a '00FE501E. I would guess I have around 100-150hrs on it though I don't have a meter. My bike is...

My 600 lost all power to the lighting system (i.e. head & tail light, turn signals, horn), whether the motor is running or not. Electric starter still works and the motor runs but everything else is dead. Any suggestions what the probelm may be? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Daryn

So, here's what's left of it.... On Yesterday's supermoto practice, the engine stopped with a loud bang. The thing is that the crank may be moved on one side only. Sounds expensive to be honest.... We'll open the engine on monday, and see... I'll let you know. On a second note...

Gentlemen! New to this forum. New to Husaberg. Pretty good wrench. Bought myself a -02 501 FE that had little over 100hrs. The bike was very well maintained and had been driven responsibly by an oldtimer. The -03 rockers and steel sprocket were already fitted and the rollers were at apx...

I reported earlier that what I expected to be failed rocker arm rollers making an odd top-end noise turned out to be a shredded water pump impeller. I've finally had a chance to look a little more closely and what I'm seeing is perplexing. The remains of the impeller, new about 100hours...
