Hi all,
Recently bought my old 650 back after selling it years ago.
Now I want it to be a project but a running one!
The stator has just gone so it's off for a rewire and I've been sitting out all the other little niggles. Like new fuel hoses, spoke set, cleaning and greasing all the basics...
Gday all...Its been a while.
My 04 FE450 is still patiently waiting for me to buy some time to start my mods. One of the main things I want to develop is the suspension. I read somewhere that a kit is available to convert the fork internals over to the sss kayaba system.
Has anyone on here...
Hi, new to the forum. I have found many threads on the force 70 tanks and mention of the mod of the 570's subframe, but no instructions on how.Can anyone point me to the correct way to do this mod please?
I'm in the process of buying a 570 or a 2013 501 but fuel capacity upgrade is the deciding...
Hi I just bought a st.legal 2005 fs650e and it has the factory muffler. Is there a spark arrestor inside that I can take out. Drilling out the rivets on the end of the can? I wanna make it louder, hoping for a short cut. Any feed back helps thanks.

I've done some searching and not sure what mods are...
Hey Crew,
A little bit of random info for you all, (especially SuMo 570 riders). Not hugely informative (yet) but it may help out another FS rider.
I went to a cool suspension seminar with Dave Moss in the weekend, (Feel The Track | Ensure your bike geometry, spring rates, hydraulic...
HI, just 2 questions for the experts. 1. I would like to replace the conical single springs with that: Kibblewhite 96-96000 (Valve Spring Kit 460" Lift). Is this the right kit or i should look for something better? 2. A second thought is to change the standard valves (35-30) with oversized...
yo.

just a couple of quick questions :
1. its basically a KTM450 EXC , right ? Anything that fits the KTM fits my Husaberg ? Important things like engine parts , exhaust , brakes , etc ? Stickers don't count (:D) .
2. is a...
looking at rebuilding my beast and wondering what aftermarket kits/parts are out there. any info would be great. have seen the big bore kits talked about and seen a bike with twin pipes on this site
Have a USA FE390 2010.. with the more restrictive pipe. Bike came with an Akrapovic system, but it was too loud so I went back to stock on the muffler... however I noticed the bike runs warmer than before. I read on here about cutting and pulling pipes out of the stocker.. but not really any...
Loving my new 2012 FE570, I did a pile of googling for known issues and mods required for a new berg and thought i'd just list everything I found here to save a bit of legwork for anyone thinking of buying one of these awesome bikes. Hope no one minds me rehashing stuff they have already posted...
Anyone recommend a suspension firm in the UK to convert my FE forks & rear shock to tarmac settings pls ?
It's way too soft for me - I weigh 18 stone.
Cheers.

I just wanted to know am I missing out by not doing any of the delorto mods on my 501? For example the 4.5mm slide cutaway. The bike runs prime the way I have it set now and I hate to start over again.
Has anyone modified the standard exhaust silencer on the new bikes?
If so, what and how did you do it? What were the results and your views?
I'm hoping to reduce the heat build up caused by the standard silencer, I know there will be a trade of with noise but I'm hoping to keep it a quiet as...

I have a 2004 550 FE that I bought new and like the motor on, but, I didn't put the $$ into the suspension to make it right.

Also i was fed up with mud getting clogged...
