maintenance

Just bought my first dirt bike . Got a 2005 fe450. Friend crashed it the first day I got it and broke his thumb . Wondering if y’all got any tips for someone green to bikes to look for and inspect and get tuned up before I go rip it on some trails? Any general advice about these bikes would be...

2004? (I think)Typically how many hours/Kms are these motors good for before a strip down. Currently only being used on short runs until I iron out all the issues. And what would be considered routing maintenance in terms of pats replacement,are valves expendable,what’s hours can a piston take...

So I did some work on the 390 over the 4th of July- big thanks to the Husaberg tribe and elders for posting all their experiences. Very helpful! Here are some notes: At 50 hours the spark plug had some mild corrosion forming. I will be spraying some air in there after water exposure. The tank...

Hi folks, I bought my first Husaberg FE 501 from 2003 last Friday and will get it into my garage by Tuesday. Bought it from it's first owner who drove it for around 50h. There is still the first chain set in good condition on the bike. She received a new ignition system last year, because she...

Hi guys joined this forum a few weeks back and been looking through posts. Iv just aquired an 02 650 and have got straight to maintenance on it. Iv adjusted valve clearances but read multiple things about them. I did it by turning till just tight then backed off 1/6th (1 nut corner to the next...

So I have had a solid 5 years of reliable riding from my Fe570. Granted I only managed to tick off 3K worth of miles (2.5 year hiatus due to locale and an FS650), but the season is coming up and I want to maintain the reliability since my new riding areas are brutal and not very accessible...

Hello Everyone. Sorry for a long post I been lurking around quite a bit around here and found great info. Thanks ALL!. The only problem I am having with the whole (new to me) Husaberg game is understanding everything. I am pretty mechanically inclined and understand my way around most things...

there are 5 or 6 parts for the 2000 - 2008 bikes factory maintenance videos I remember them as husaberg "force" maintenance part 1 .... part 2 etc they were on you tube I think ... I can't find them anymore .. anyone got a link or have them saved ? and if we can get them they should...

Hi all, I've got a 2012 FE390 and have just spent the weekend riding 200 kms through snow and a number of river crossings, putting the bike through a lot of water. The bike has a total of 20.4 hours and 730 kilometers, I've changed the oil and filter at 250kms and 500kms, and that's pretty much...

Okay - have been seriously considering taking on some deep DIY maintenance on my 2010 FE450. Absolutely love to do my own work, but the "deepest" I've gone is pulling the case cover to address the water pump for the weephole issue (as well as tire changes, oil/filter, coolant, steering head...

Hi all, I have been doing a lot of research on different manufacturers 450-ish Enduros, and have mostly decided on a Husaberg. They generally seem to be very reliable when compared to others I have read about (Honda CRF450X) and have better suspension than just about everything. Anyway, I have...

I bought a 04 FE 650e primarily for dual sporting. I wanted a bike with lots of torque and light weight. Nice suspension and components helped. I am 58 and do not intend to race and I don't push the riding pace hard. If I am on a week long + ride (like Continental Divide or Trans Am Trail)...

This may have been beefed over already on the forum I haven’t dug too deep to check. :mrgreen: But I’ve got a specific problem and I wondered if anyone else had encountered it. ]We all know that removing the tank is a process compared with older models, but were not bitchin because its such...

Hi there, i am new to the forum as being a ktm owner prviously , however i am considering buying my first husaberg. I am looking at a 2008 450 fe to use mainly for greenlaning as i will be keeping my ktm 250 exc f for enduros at least for the moment .What i am wanting to know is the...

On a 2000 FC501, how often should I change the oil and have the vavles checked? What are the warning signs that the vavles need to be adjusted? Took my bike out to one of the local mx tracks (E-srteet in Marysville, Ca). I was the only Berg and a couple KTM's.

What oil (brand and weight) are you guys running in your bikes? The manual said 10w50 (I believe) - is that what everyone's sticking with? I've run Rotella T in my CRF's and have never had an issue - in fact, it's proven very good in both the engine and the tanny side of the power plant of...

Hi guys, I followed a previous thread to download the service videos 4 parts in all, but all I saw was swirling patterns. Can someone give me the link to the maintenance vidoes and also if I need to download something to view them exactly what do I need to do? thanks

Are they reliable? I am coming off a drz400 and then a ktm300 2T. I am wondering wether there is a catch to the 109kg claimed weight of the 650. Would I expect problems and lots of visits to the mechanics. :P What sort of bike are they - very high performance/maintenance, medium maintenance...

G'day All What is the general consensus on when a motor should be rebuilt? I've just bought my FS650 (05 model), it's got 124 hours on the clock, 6500kms (thats just 0ver 4000 miles in Yank speak). The engine has had regular oil changes, every 500k's and the valves checked at 100 hours. Never...

I this site want's it, I have it on my pc. Grabbed it somewhere from the net. I can upload it for you guys.
