frame

had a trial run tonight of my new frame more than anything to prove that my completely rebuilt gearbox actually works. i have done all the electrics for the first time in 4 years and will attempt an MOT with it so i can go for a pre-moab ride with cypher and kez. the difference in the...

gday all from warm summery Oz. the temp was about 24 deg C here today and rising for a long dusty summer. Bring on the rain. Still off work and busting to get onto this bike. question has frame geometry changed over the years- say 96 to current model- engine mounts rear motor/ frame/...

i sent DCR an e-mail requesting an " '04+ frame" if one ever came up and he has just told me that he'll be shipping a used one down later this week for me. this is a great opportunity to keep the handling development of my ol' girl going. i'll let you all know how i get on. the tall seat...

Hi chaps, Does anyone know if the FE model has a different frame from the FS models??? (2004 force edition models)

has anyone we know of ever turned the spine of the frame into another fuel cell? i calculate it holds 2 litres? regards Taffy

Hi there, has anyone had much success in lowering the seat hight for those that are not too tall. I have modified the suspension to lower it 30mm on some bikes, but believe it seems to never really work that well. I notice in the forum the pictures of the frame modification to lower the seat...

Has anyone broken or know of Bergs breaking the frame just below and behind the head steam? Is it going to happen again? Mine has so I'm also looking for another one. If anyone knows of one about I'd be interested. Regards, Al

As I haven't seen much on this,just the odd reference,I assume it to be not too big a deal but I have to admit it looks scary to me.I went all the way back on this forum as well as the Doc but didn't find much.After one ride the chain has worn into the frame quite a bit such that I have a small...

As the subject states i have snapped the frame on my 04 FS 650! Got a couple of questions:- 1. Should it get it welded? The break is by the headstock about 10mm above where the two smaller diameter pipes join to it. 2. I have sourced a frame from a 03 fx 650, will this fit? Thanks

Hi guys can anyone tell me if there is any difference between the frames on different capacity models or between enduro's and sm's? I've been offered an FE470 but I want to convert it for the road, would I be better off just looking out for an FS? The FE470 is going cheap! Also I'm...

Does anypne have an old bent/broken frame they would sell ?

Many have asked what should they use to block off the frame opening when doing a breather mod. This is the perfect fit. NAPA Auto Parts part number 660-1696 5/8" / 1.5cm radiator heater hose bypass cap. Two come in a pack :)

have a fe501e , 2000 - the front right motor mount is starting to crack around the weld. , ( where the mount is welded to the frame ). what is the recommended method to weld the frame , i have assess to a mig , any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.. thanks ....

I have a '05 650 FE, and have noticed that the chain is cutting into the frame on the inside by the counter shaft! There is literally 1mm between the chain's rivet and the frame, and when the master link comes around you can see where it just nicks the frame! How dumb! I keep my chain properly...

I took some frame sliders home with me from work (Kawasaki/Yamaha/KTM dealer named Spunky's) and wanted to see my mounting options. Looks like I could mount them on either of the two engine mounts below the radiator. I was wondering who is using what and where they are being mounted. We had some...

As I'm having my engine rebuilt I got around to looking at the frame and thought about touching up the chipped and rusty areas. To my horror I discovered that the paint is peeling off on the rear frame rails and there is alot of rust underneath what I thought was good. Is it worth getting the...

I can't quite get all the paint off but I think the no. is YU7FE5010W0001 The YU bit is hard to make out. Anyway, I was told it's an FE600 & the looms got ignition switch/key and lights so it must have been road legal at some point! I just need the age to apply for a registration document...

I was wondering if an 02 fe501 motor will bolt into a 96' fc frame? I noticed a motor for sale in the classifieds and that would make my husaberg breath again with less headache. Roost on! Eric Phillips
