fe400

I originally posted this in the general forum, but I think this is a better place to look for help with this. I also tried to explain a little better what is happening. Does any of this sound familiar or typical? I'm wondering if I should also post this in the fuel forum, as I'm not sure if...

Hoping someone can assist with this. I have a 99 fe400 with super low hrs. It ran fine 6 mos ago, but now I have a problem with high speed running. It starts fine, choke on 2 kicks , choke off - 1 or2 kicks and it starts right up on idle. Throttle response is great thru 1st , 2nd, 3rd gear, at...

My FE400 starts fine, but only runs for about 5 seconds when I take the choke off. If I give it some gas it will stay running but backfires like hell - even shot some flames! I just had a terrific day long romp on her last week and she was running sweet! I started it up so as to warm it up...

Hi all, I bought a 2nd hand FE400 and found that the intake valves are tuliped.. From what I derived reading though posts, I need to buy a pair of intake valves from KTM. Would anyone know which size/part number I should get for the FE 400 head? I will also need a pair of valve seats...

Hey, sorry to bug everyone again... But I've got another issue... I took the clutch out of my '03 FE400 (according to the books it has the 2002 clutch) to replace the starter motor that had been removed by the previous owner and now after reassembling I cant get the clutch to disengage at...

I'm looking to plate my bike so I need a street legal tire. The bike will rarely be ridden on pavement so I'm looking for the best enduro tire out there that's street legal. Any suggestions?

I purchased a 04 FE450 Motor in bits recently thinking beauty I'll upgrade my 400 with some later goodies. The 2 piece clutch cover went on but must use matched waterpump cover, gearchange lever and the kickstarter had to have a small washer put on the end of the shaft or the kuckle hit the seal...

Hi, I am rebuilding my FE400 because of the chronic top end problems and other issues after 9 months I got it second hand. Actually I have not been able to drive it for long due to recurring mechanical problems. Recently I take the cylinder head off and the picture was depressing. You can...

hi, My bike has just had a few parts installed by a mechanic including, auto decomp, sledge mod, stronger starter and few other small bits but now it wont start on the kick start. Mechanic that fitted the parts doesnt want to help now! It starts on the elctric start but it genrally has to...

Hi, I am not sure if my FE400 makes enough power.I got it second hand and after some time I got it I reliased that the oil pump had been stuck and thus it had been hardly lubricating. I fixed it but I doubt if it makes good power. I am not able to compare mine against any other 400. Thus I...

well my 400fe 2002 is gone due to money issues. I found a 350, all electrics are new, FCR installed, and much more. I'll tell you the price when I know, but that is not my question. I want to know is there was something wrong with that bike. Should I take it? Will it work forever or I'll have to...

I am planning to rebuild my FE400 '03 engine (100 hours) this winter and to convert it to 470cc by boring out the barrel to 100mm and fit a 470 piston. I have a few questions about this, especially after reading this Thread ;) 1: Should I use this headgasket (from the doc): 21 200 321-01...

Problems keep on and on... very dissapointing... messed another ride today... While riding, the bike kept on kicking to neutral, and I had to change gears all the time in order to go on. After a while the rear wheel was stuck and the bike stoped. The bike was not moving even when pulled the...

Hi! My friend just picked up an FE400 ´01 - and went out with me yesterday, only to spend a fair bit of time trying to get it to fire up. When cold it started fine, but after 20 minutes worth of driving, we stopped to regroup, after that it didn't want to play no more. He's going to go...

Graphics aside, the frame and plastics on my 2003 FE400 looks identical to a newer 450. Are they? The reason I ask is although it is fairly easy to find replacement plastic, graphics, rad guards, skid plates...for a newer 450, 400 parts are hard to come by. Is there any cross-compatibility...
