Hi Guy's. I have the chance to pick up an 03/04 FE550 and was wondering if they are any good. This motor is in pieces and had about 10 hrs on it from a rebuild when the crank **** it self!! Is it worth rebulding or fitting somthing else? I can pick it up cheap, so just wondering??
I am attepmting to sell my much loved Fe550 2008 3k miles and about 100hrs. Its in fine working order and has had the following;
new valves and double spring kit (taffy kit)
jetting kit(taffy kit)
piston rings (500mlies ago with rest of engine work)
new counter balance shaft bearings

I bought a very low hours '05 FE550 last spring and have never been completly happy with the carburation. It has always started very easily, idled fine, accelerated cleanly with no bogs. The original owner had installed a R&D adjustable leak jet kit including ACL pump spring, raised the needle...
2008 FE 550 will not turn over when cold. the starter just spins. its ok when warm. could it be just the torque limiter-or should all the free :bounce3: wheel gears be replaced also?
I have had the large tank designed by Boss since he got them and really enjoyed the range it afforded.
Tuesday I found a crack in the left rear bushing slot. looks like the plastic is thin. Any ones else had this problem? I made a trailside repair with some epoxy and fiberglass cloth that is...
OK My 550 will start fine when its been sitting in the garage , on both E start and Kick . It also starts fine when hot .
But when I take it off the ute after driving to a ride its a complete bitch to start , roll start seems to be the only thing to start her up .
Any ideas ????
I m thinking...
Hi there, thought you might like to see some shots of me racing my berg last year with Trail Bike Enduro Club.
I also use it as a supermoto and blast round the roads sometimes, that's what I'm doing at the moment...

I have a FE550 2007 and I have a problem when crossing deep rivers, the engine die and only start after some time or it will start by using choke. This was never a problem on me old FE501 2000. I have read that to fix the problem I should reroute the breathing hoses from the carb but the...
Im starting to think im doing something really really wrong.
Ok first problems - my old mechanic used to overfill it with oil. caused it to blow seals everywhere.
Since then its been very hard to start using the estarter. with me pressing the button for atleast 15-25 seconds before it will...
Having trouble starting with the Estart.
Will kick after 4 or so kicks but wont start with e starter. when cold takes about 10 - 15 kicks.
Im quessing my exhaust valve is miles out. If it is not the Exhaust valve do the Starter upgrades found in the manual still work with the 07 model? cause...
Hi all,have just got my first berg and loving it. Been reading all the posts I can and believe that I should be changing the setup of my carb as it has idle overun when warm and feels a bit sluggish. Settings are as follows
main air jet - 200
slow air jet - 100
needle - DVR Clip 5...
So I got a cam chain, and valve rocker arms, and a local engine guy is doing the work. He's very experienced with ktm, but not so with husaberg. Apparently on some ktm's it's necessary to remove the head to replace the cam chain. Is that so on the berg? Anyone got a link to a quick outline of...
