fc501

Hi Folks - Husaberg newb here, but I couldn't pass up a deal on a very clean & well taken care of 1999 FC501. I've had it for a couple of months now and I've been using it for a trail/play bike in the Rockies. Since I've had it I've reworked the suspension, put on Desert ITs, hand guards, and...

What do you guys think of this bike? I am looking for a bike to ride high mountain trails and rough terrain. I am 5'10" and 150 pounds. I talked to the guy today and the bike seems to be in extremely good shape for its age. http://boise.craigslist.org/mcy/3848624292.html Thanks for any...

Hello, I need help again!! I got excellent help here last week on some fork seal help for me being a new Husaberg lover! I have broken the fuel tank on my bike now :( I need help finding a new one. The bike has always been kept inside but the tank appears to be very very brittle, it almost...

Hello, I am new to the Husaberg world but love it so far. I recently purchased a 2000 FC501 with about 10 hours on it. I took it out for its first ride and now the fork seals are leaking. I received the suspension booklet for the rear shock with the bike but not the front suspension. I need to...

Well I just bought myself an old 501. It started and ran great when I looked at it. Bought it the next day and I can't for the life of me get it to fire up! Granted, this is my first dirt bike and certainly my first kickstarter, but it seems like an electrical issue. I pulled the plug and I'm...

please tell me someone makes an autoclutch for the older bergs, or has anyone tried to retrofit a newer one or one from a ktm??

Ive searched through the various forum threads regarding 501 conrods but there is no definitive answer to the question; "Is there an after market alternative to the factory Husaberg 501 con rod?" I'm struggling with price of the genuine part, especially when you add the cost of a set of...

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to put my berg on the dyno in an attempt to setup my carb properly. After a few runs and different jettings, I got this: Bike is fitted with a DNA filter and FCR 41 with quickshot2; everything else is stock I think it's pretty good, but needs a bit more...

I was wondering if I could fit the swingarm and rear shock from an '06 FE550 to my '00 FC501? I may be wrong, but looking at my bike and the 550, I cannot spot differences on the frame other than engine area Any thoughts?

just got a 98 fc501 i am going to supermoto for the street. anyone know where to find a speedometer for it?

Hi, I have some problems with setting the right ignition timing on my old (should be 1998) Husaberg FC501. Can't find any info in manuals and it's not clear how to find the mark on engine block for this type of ignition? Also, any advices how to set the right timing for engine with electric...

will it fit right up?

I just recently bought a 1999 fc501. rode it once, it ran fine, washed and parked. no spark now. cdi ohms out to specs. I've taken the CDI cover off, wire brushed (by hand) the light rust off the stator unit and the flywheel. DOES ANYONE KNOW what the ohm values for the coil? any...

I am new to dirt bikes and this is my first ever dirt ride! I simply can't describe the feelings and my excitement hits the sky! I just can't wait for winter to come and unfortunately it's a long long summer here in Rhodes

I have a 2000 FC501 and my exhaust is in pretty bad shape, sound is too loud and it feels like it's drilling my ears (and everyone else's too) Can I change the the end can only or do I have to get a full exhaust system?

Hi all. New to this group, and was hoping someone can at least shed some sort of light into a problem. Completed a weekend fund raising trail ride without drama's (100km or thereabouts). Came home and cleaned the bike using a low pressure water blaster, in the same manner in which I have done...

My FC starts right up with the choke on, but when I turn the choke off, the bike sputters and dies.....Is this a clogged jet? If so, what do I needs to be done, to fix this problem? I would like to fix it myself. Instead of spending $100 of dirt bike money for this. Also, I havent took the bike...

I was wondering if anyone knew, what the engine horsepower and top speed for a 2000 FC501 was? I dont have a dino or speedometer. I know this bike is tall geared with six speeds. Thanks for the info

Hi, gang.... Anybody recall if the internal baffle in the rear of the OEM '98 fc501 muffler ( the one shaped like a tin banana!) is attached to the perf. core, or does it just become attached due to typical exhaust heat? I checked down through the Exhaust forum, but found no real applicable...

This is a rare picture. A Husaberg at the local motocross track. I feel as though I'm the only Husaberg out there (because I am). This was taken at Argyll Park, Dixon, CA. Seeing a Husaberg at any MX track in this area is like a "Big Foot," sighting. Anyway, a couple weeks ago I picked up a...
