issues

Hi all, I just purchased a Husaberg Fe400 2002 which so far has been great except for the electric starter . It has a brand new battery but it doesn't spin up fast enough to turn over. I'm at loss, it kicks over first kick yet refuses kick over with the electric starter. Could it be the...

Gday all after reading the post on decompression timing I checked mine and it opened at approx 85 btdc and closed at 25 btdc lift 0.25mm 10 thou the kick start is like kicking a brick wall 25btdc is a bit early to close? would e start but it tore the teeth of the gear that runs off the...

The motor that burns twice as bright only burns half as long? 8O Husaberg motors are not immune from breakdown but at least they don't go kablamo like this.

The bike: 2003 501 The rider: 33 year old male 220 lbs (yes I'm fat) with maybe a novice to intermediate ability The problem: It feels like my front springs are too soft. When I ride trail whoops the front tire and suspension suck up a lot more than the rear. This makes the back end...

I just got a '95 FE501, it runs, will idle but randomly dies...the gas is old though so that may be that problem..perhaps not. the main problem and why i made this thread (i looked in "the doc" already), is that the bike only wants to go...about half throttle, then it craps out...not sure if...

Hi all, :) Just suffered my first crank failure on my O3 650. I know Husaberg have tried to adress the issue in 04 by destroking them from 650 back to 628 ( although my manuals show the 650 and 628 both with an 82 mm stroke ?? dont think so) And in 06 they have upped crankpin dia from 32 to...

Hi all, I'm new to the site and am considering which bike to purchase in the next few weeks. It's between a KTM 525 '05 or a '05 Berg Fe550. Everyone keeps raving about the berg ( and also the 525), but I'm concerned with the reliability record. I'ld really like to hear of known issues...

I just bought a new 2003 FE 501, 1 hour on machine. I had to replace the original battery with a new OEM since it would not hold a charge anymore. Regardless, with the new battery installed, I found that it has a draw on it somewhere, therefore will not hold a charge while connected. Also...

I have a 97 fe501e and I have discovered a couple of slightly disturbing problems. I recently changed the oil and found metal in the filter. Also there is oil leaking into the stator area. The metal in the filter is really of the utmost concern to me, however the bike seems to shift fine...

FYI, for any one looking into a Rekluse for an '03 FE400, the kit is currently wrong. The clutch Rekluse sent to me does not allow for a clutch with sleeves, rather, it is for the '02 design of teeth on the inner hub. Sean and Patrick at Rekluse are feverishly working to get the spec updated...

I've noticed a bit more whining noise from my clutch lately, particularly when deccelerating in a lower gear. Decided to pull off the side cover and have a look. What I found perplexes me a bit. The oil is nice and clean with no sign of catastrophic failure or abnormal wear. However, 3 of...

Hello all. Have a little dilema here. I have a 2000 FC 501 Berg which I have not yet ridden(AUHHHHG that hurts, bought it back in November 2002). Seems that the people I got it from rebuilt the motor and when I recieved it there was no Spark. After some used ignition modules did not fix it and...
