main

My bike seems to be very rich (or oily, but lets forget that option for now). So I look at the manual and see that there are various sizes according to whether its usa (easy, its not i live in england),' ECE' (whats that?) or 'enduro'. Q1) I imagine the changes are emission driven - but...

By the way does anyone know what the main bearing float/ play shoud be. We know it needs to be set right and not too tight, but what is the measurement??

(1) Main bearing bore axial misalignment remains a reality albeit uncommon on new engines. (2) Main bearing bore ID is all over the place with the ignition side often tight. (3) Roller bearings when properly installed work great and in truth are not all that sensitive regarding "excessive"...

I believe the SKF 6206 ETN9 ball main is the 9 ball bearing- it definetly has a higher load rating than NTN 6206 or SKF 6206. It has 600n higher static load rating (12900n), and 3100n (23400n) higher dynamic loading. The ETN suffix gives allusion to a heavier construction and I believe...

Ive been thinking it over for a while and its getting to me. :? The warranty engine (03 650) supplied to me after my initial 8 hr intake rocker fiasco came fitted with LHS roller, RHS ball. The question is, with that bearing configuration, how do Husaberg expect the crank to stay locked...

Owner of a fe550 2005 from new. The bike is great when its going. :( My first engine failure happened with a starter clutch failure at 12 weeks old. My mate purchased a fe550 at the same time and had main engine bearing fail in the first 4 weeks from new. Now my bike is sitting at the...

I have sucumbed and bought an ex 2003 WR 450 fcr39 carb to fit to my 2002 400 FE (Fixermans old bike) and have already hit a stumbling block , I can't seem to find the main air jet ,looking at the diagrams on the Sudco site it should be next to the pilot air jet at the rear of the carb ,but...

My 501 was rebuilt five hours ago by yours truly. Everything in order and things running smooth until I noticed dense blue smoke firing it up yesterday. Upon lifting the head I notice a lot of oil in the combustion chamber and when I took the left cover off I could see the main seal has popped...

Could any one tell me a bit about the main bearing conversions I have an 03 550 that is running two roller bearings and i would like to know if this has to be changed or if this is the way it should be. I have looked and tried to use the search but have had no luck. Many thanks. cookeye...

I've lost the axial clearance on my crank! 8O Long story... Does anyone out there have the nominal measurements on: Distance between main bearings (roller) Crank width across the inner races It´s a 2003 650. Thanks! Dr_C

At the moment I am rebuilding the engine in my 03 FSe650, now I ordered the main bearings through the dealer and he sent me the ball bearing type, the origional ones are rollers. Phoned him to get it sorted and he reckons that the ball type are superior to the rollers and thats all he fits (he...
