installation

I finally got all my parts back from various places for my 2000 FC 501. I don't have a piston ring install tool. So I tried the following being very careful, but gave up right away before I had done any damage. Maybe I could have done it the opposite way, but that's not what I did. So I...

I'm using the chain that Taffy sells...

Hi everyone, so my 2011 FE570 came without an ignition key or any type of lock or security. Id prefer not to have my bike stolen so im thinking of ways to secure it (We often take tracks to beaches or spots where we leave our bikes unattended for some time) My first thought was installing...

Hi Guys, Looking to purchase a TT Voyager Pro for my '12 FE 450. Have any of you installed these units (or the voyager)? What mounts will I need and can I use any of the sensors already on the bike for the Voyager? Also, What are you guys monitoring with your units? Thanks in advance...

After reading some recent threads I thought I would get a leg up on the summer heat and install a radiator fan on my 450. I picked up the KTM/Husberg kit and it looks straight forward. I thought I would post in hear to find out if there are any tips to make this job easier since the...

Got a JD tuner for my 2011 supermoto, and for the life of me, can't figure out where the white wire plugs into. The black wire is obviously the ground, but where does the white wire go? If anyone knows, or has the installation directions, shoot me a PM or post up here. Thanks!

I have a 2006 650 and am going to replace the battery. I'm amazed at how tight the thing is stuffed in there! Is there an easy way to get this out? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi All, Here is a question about air filter installation on a 2011 FE-570. I was taught to install a bead of grease on the edge of the filter that seals against the air box. The owners manual does not instruct you to use grease. When the bike was new from the dealer it did not have a bead of...

Look Ma, its a boy! I did the install today on my 2010 FE390 - took about three hours start to finish as the radiator fan and Force radiator guards got in the way, and had to take the radiator guards off, and right radiator hose off to move the fan out the way to remove the fuel tank...

I feel sheepish asking this question, but is there any technique to install or removing the tank on a 09 Fe 450? My reason for asking is that the process seems harder than what I would have thought. I am now over the requirement to take 14 odd screws off the tank in the first place, as opposed...

Good day gents...and ladies, I just had the almighty exhaust valve spring brake on me. I replaced them all with a set from Taffy and the installation went just fine. However, when putting the whole thing back together, I noticed that the piston gets stuck at TDC while trying to kick it over. it...

Need a little help gents... So I got this shiny new slipper clutch. Looked over the installation instructions and it seems pretty straight forward. The instructions call for two special parts 800.29.003.000 (clutch holder) and 800.29.004.000 (gear segment) that you use when you are removing...

I've been poking around the forum for a few years after BMG loaned us a 650 for the Baja 500. I bought a 2005 fe650 a few weeks ago and purchased the .75 (3 liter) gallon tank. I installed one the '04 race bike but didn't like the ignition module mounting and it vented fuel the overflow...
