Hey guys,
I am looking for a decent used set of spare wheels for my 07 FE550e. What is the year range that these wheels were used? Also, are there any KTMs that use the same wheels to broaden my search?
Hi guys, time to pull the motor apart as it is making some horrid metallic grinding sounds like a collapsed bearing :( , so I'm just after some advise on what to look out for and perhaps what are some good upgrades that i can do while the old girl is apart, was thinking about maybe going the 650...
Hi all,
I've downloaded the FE550 repair manual from the website, however when I print it, the tesxt comes out as solid blocks of black (pictures are ok). Has anyone else had this problem?
The security protection says it should be ok to print so was wondering if it's an issue with my printer...
Hi everyone.
My first valve check was done by the dealer but its time for #2 and I want to do it myself. I have looked through 7 different threads on this site so pretty comfortable with the 1/6 method.
What i did not find here or in any of the manuals is the torque setting for the valve cover...

was desert riding 3 weeks ago, went down a bad ravine, had to slide my bike down a rock face, ripped open my left side lower radiator hose, did not know it, Just by chance It was the end of my day and I was near camp, so as I rode back about 2-3 miles to camp on mostly flat ground the bike...
so I'm pretty sure my steering steam bearings are freezing up, time to replace, bike is 2 years old and never been greased except what little was done at factory.

if I do need husaberg parts, where do you suggest...

Just a post from a long time pencil pushing Husaberg rider. My 06 Fe550e is in great shape and runs fantastic, still loving it. I am 250 lbs and Have really been fighting the suspension, new springs in front and adjusting front and shock clickers all many times but not happy, finally will...
Hi,
a friend of mine has a brand new 550 which started and ran for about 30 secs. Then nothing. Changed stator - no help, changed carburetor - no help, spark plug etc.
Checked valve timing, they should be ok. Ignition timing is unchecked. How to check it when the engine does not run? Does...
Hi Guys I was wondering if anyone could help me out on this one. I did a dyno run with my 550 yesterday and the numbers a quite low, only 38.5 hp. I was expecting around 48 to 50 hp. Their was one thing that I think wasn't going in my favor was that I have a full knobby rear tire and trying to...
Recently rewired all the accessories (headlight, tail / brake lighst, signals, horn, key, heated grips, voltmeter,etc) on my 05 FE550e. Didn't touch the ignition related wiring. Installed the Trail Tech high output regulator/rectifier so now all accessories run off of DC / battery. Performed...
Although Husabergs are best known for their relatively short term rides as dirt bikes & supermotos, I converted my '05 FE550e into a street legal dual sport and am having very good results. After a 200 mile ride yesterday I used only 3.1 gallons of gas for an average of 65 mpg. I cruise at 70...
