Hi All, This might be useful to some people out there, ever since I have had my FE550 04 the front suspension has been bad no response to small inputs riden on the road felt like a ridged front end. Every body kept saying they were binding and did all the usual things to rule this out still...

Hello from downunder :D, I am a new comer to the world of Husabergs. I have had the 650 for about 4 months now and like it very much :wink:. This site is great with all the info that is available. After a few rides on the bike I came to the conclusion the suspension was not set up right, on...

Hi All, After not getting satisfaction from 2 suspension 'experts' to stop deflections here is what I did: Threw away the Gold Valves that one mob put in Turned the original BTV upside down - some drilling required. This is to use the larger rebound holes of the unit for compression - more...

So there I was, Happily installing new fork springs (.54's) in my recently acquired 2000 Fe 501 Dualsport (CA Legal). When all of a sudden, the rod (for adjusting dampening) that connects to the top adjuster Knob falls (breaks) off. Now what? It looks like the knob just kind of screws into the...

I am at 210 lbs with 4.8s up front and at 125mm on air gap and still blowing through the travel on a moto track. The forks have been revalved two times and still having issues. I remember in the old days we revalved by the fork oil weight and the oil is at 7wt now. I see Motul makes 5,10,15,20...

from what i gather, they are the 50mm WP extreme, correct? were these forks ever on another bike (ie, KTM)? the reason i ask is that i'm trying to locate a 320mm brake caliper adapter for the WP forks for SM duty, and i'm having a really hard time finding anything. is there any...

I read somewhere that we can change the front fork seals with the ones from honda CRF. Am I right? Only have to machine the iner legs to match the outside diameter of the seals. What you can say about that? Where can I get that info?

Hi everyone, My 2000 FC600 has earlier 50mm conventional WP forks and I recently removed them to renew the seals. Is there any specific order I should follow when re-fitting them to ensure everything is running straight & true? Pretty basic question I know, but I'm not the world's greatest...

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...

Hi, I'm wondering what others have done to fix their forks, assuming I'm not alone. Basically the forks won't absorb a sharp hit, I've sent them away twice to be fixed by prominent 'experts' but no joy, the last people installed Gold Valves. It feels like they hydraulic lock when asked the big...

has anyone ever taken their 50mm WP Extremes apart to replace seals. I have only doen the top dust seals and would like to know how much harder it is to replace the ones inside

Hello all , Changed fork oil this weekend as I do often on rainy weekends . However this time I measured the unloaded spring length , and found it to measure 16 mm less than when I installed them two seasons ago . The springs are also 11 mm shorter than the OEM units wich...

I just picked up my new forks from the fork "guy". As I stare at them resting majestically on my workbench in all their gleaming glory, my mind revels in the images of navigating gnarley rhythm sections and blitzing whoops at previously unheard of speeds. Oh, the joy af it all....a new toy...

Hello folks, So, I'm finally installing a set of forks I bought last year... I noticed, that the two different forks are different in length by around 10mm (that's aboot 3/8" to us Imperial unit users). They are *********** inverted, from around a '96. I do know that these particular...

Evening All Having recently 'pranged' my 'ped' I am left with obviously bent forks. Both the cartridge and the forks themselves appear bent. Any suggestions on self straigtening, or would i be advised to get them done professionally, if so any suggestions as to where - preferably North...
