fe400e

Sorry if this has been raised before - new to this forum. Has any one got a fix for the starter motor on the 99 FE400E? It seems to be seized/not getting any current. When it was working, it didn't seem to have any enough power to spin the engine, and it gradually got slower to the point...

Hi, I am really interested in this model. There is one at a local dealership, where I live. They have had it for sale at $4500, for a long time. I have checked it out a couple of times but always thought the price was too high. Anyway they have now asked me to make them an offer. My...

I can't find the air bleed screw on the head of my 98 fe400e. Is there one and if so where is the darn thing? The manual says nothing about it. Thanks, Roger

I recently bought a 98fe400e with a baja designs kit. It all works fine but the wiring under the seat is a rats nest of wires running every direction. This will not do. Also, there is no key for the bike, just a plunger switch mounted inside the subframe. I'd like to clean up the wiring and...

I just bought a 98 FE400E today and am looking for any advice as far as service goes before I ride it much. It has a Baja Designs kit on it and will be plated for street use. I bought it mostly for trail use and am concerned a bit about using up service hours on the street given some of the...

I have an 03 FE400E and wanted to know it getting the button to make the speedo work is worth the cost. Currently it only shows the speed and hours I have ridden. What other functions are there that this button will allow me to use. Thanks

My 2000 Fe started acting up lately. The bike starts fine, about 30 seconds later it starts snapping and popping badly and wont idle unless you crank up the idle to the point it is racing. after about 1-2 minutes the Left exhaust manifold starts turning red with heat (at which time I shut it...

I went up to the mountains up here in Oregon to a place called Mckubbins. I stayed there for a few days at the ranger station where some of my friends worked. It rained and snowed all day the first day so we just worked on our bikes in the shop and hung out. I ended up putting Motorex 10...

I have a 98 Fe400e that has been working well for me for the past 4 years. The last couple times out, it has been very difficult to start and does not idle well, if at all. Once off idle, it seems to be running fairly well. It has been flooding on occassion also. Is this a carb, or a valve...
