Hello all; I am looking for any advice on aforementioned model. I am new to Husabergs (have owned many Jap bikes & two KTM's) I have found a very nice example in excellent condition, but am nervous because I have heard conflicting reports. Some say all pre 2003 "Husy's" are problematic; Local...

I was looking around the forum and saw some mentions about crankshaft balancer and rocker arm problems. Is this something I should be worried about? The bike runs great and has been well maintained. I am just wondering if there was a problem would it be obvious or just break and screw up the...

The recent purchase 2002 FE501E has a set of WP forks with a single compression adjuster under each fork (per the manual) AND two smaller adjusters on each side of that adjuster. Are these HI/LO speed adjusters? If so, sweet..... But which is which? Neither are marked, stamped, or in the...

I recently purchased my first MC since 1985; a 2003 fe501e and it runs great, and is a blast. I took it out yesterday for the first time, and rode with some friends. In the Las Vegas Desert.

After changing my oil and lubing the chain the other day, I tried to start my bike. I kicked it a few times and it would start, run for a second and die. I did this probably 10 times. While looking the bike over for anything obvious, I noticed that in my haste, I'd forgotten to pull the two...

Hi Guys, I've been reading here for years, and learned a lot. I've never really had a need to post, until now. So I signed up, and here goes. My 2000 FE501E has served me very well. Mostly play riding in the desert, and some recent dual sport. It is close to 200 hours, and I'm thinking I...
