Hi folks, just picked up a 2003 FE501 and getting my head round it. Ive got all the info I could from the husaberg site (owners, parts, workshop manuals). So ive not really had proper go over the bike other than 2 kicks to fire it up (Im ok with a left boot as Ive had rotax and husqvarna in the...

I have both a 97 and 99 FE501 and I'm wondering why the engineers did away with the rear suspension linkage on the newer model. In comparing the two side by side the newer (linkless) version is obviously lighter, less prone to wear and cheaper to manufacture. But...is it better? Was the change...

Hi all, Just joined the forum and just bought a 2003 FE501e which I will collect this week. Apart from some off road biking in the 80's on a Yamaha Tenere, I am pretty new to enduro biking. I do ride road bikes though. My question is: I have seen an ad and they are offering a set of wheels...

Hi guys, I am a newb here and like most forum newbs I am starting out asking for help to solve a problem. I recently (2 weeks ago) purchased a very clean 02 FE501. It had been sitting a while and the owner had a hard time getting it to run and when it did it ran like crap, coughing and...

Hi, does anyone know if later model rockers will fit my old girl, ones with better follower bearings?

Does anyone know where I can get the cylinder head (or really just the rockers and camshaft assembly) for a 2001 FE501? Or any compatable sets of these parts would work as I beleive these particular parts are interchangeable from like years 450, 470, and 550's right? Maybe? Specifically will...

So, after banging my head repeatedly because my motor simply wouldn't spark, I gave up and bought a complete 96 FE minus frame (well not totally minus, I had to strip it once I got home). The bike has been revived, for now, but I definitely have a sour taste in my mouth re: everything 'Berg. I...
