Short history: I went for a ride with a couple of guys I met and 1 of them turned up on an 03 fe501. It took a bit to get going, once going would need throttle to keep it going, wouldn't e-start (not even turn over) at all and was a real mission to get it kick started. It was basically running...

Hi All, Just purchased my first Husaberg (07 FE450) and was a little worried about some gear\drive train noise. I have read some other threads which say this is normal, something to do with straight cut gears or something? What I am experiencing is when travelling down a road in any gear...

I went riding on Sunday and did a lot of starting and stopping. My bike does not like this kind of riding and quickly the battery was dead so I had to kick it back to life every time I stopped. I hate kicking this bike as it always takes several kicks and being on the left is very awkward...

As I was taking my FC550 2001 apart to rebuild the crank area, I found something that did not seem normal. That was the gear mash or profile of the gear teeth on the kick starter gear(pos 17, part no 230096-01) did not match the profile of the gear(pos 8, part no 230015-01) and the clutch hub...

Hello All, 97 Husaberg FC600 purchased 2 months ago. Runs excellent, starts fine (1-2 kicks). When the engine is at operating temp and idling/slow speed I get a noise which sounds like loose rockers. I have adjusted the valves before each ride (probably 10 times) with and without feeler...

I have a 98 fc 501. When I go from a dead stop in first gear, it makes a squealing noise as I let out the clutch and thats the only time it does it. And I can feel the vibration of it also, it seems like.

The bike is an '05 FS650E with approx. 10 hrs. On pavement, when launching a bit more aggressively than normal (little more throttle and a bit of clutch slip) I'm hearing a brief sort of screeching/squealing noise seemingly from the RHS of the motor. I'm not sure exactly where from as it's...

Here is my problem: last fall, I bought a 'basket case' 1997 FE501E and had the top end rebuilt (adjusters, bearings, rocker arms, chain, ...) because the chain was broken due to a bolt that cut it in pieces. The case was split to get rid of all the shavings, and the bike is running great...
