opinions

Hi Guys, This 03 FE400 is for sale through a local mechanic/friend, decent price, and is in amazing shape. I'm highly interested but not used to the "Semi-normal" noises of these exotic engines. The horrendous noise is only really at idle, but happens whether warm or cold. Any opinions? I'm...

Hello all, this is my first post as I dont actually have a husaberg yet. I have ridden xr650r's xr400s xr250s and some street bikes. I am 19 so I havent had a chance to gather up a whole bunch of bikes haha. Currently ride an old xr250r. So, theres a pretty good deal on a 2004 fe501 near me...

Thinking about buying a 03 fc550 with stator issues . Its cheap n cool . Any general thought on this model ? Im aware of the pre 04 electrics saga . How does it stack up vs the rest of the berg line up ? Fairly limited market in new zealand . I own and maintain a fleet of sweedish...

So After rebuilding my bike i was having issues with the gears. Turns out the old shifter drum bolt which holds the drum to the star piece wasn't tight due to old loctite stopping it pulling in all the way. Saturday i went 38.8miles to FOWLERS of Bristol my local KTM dealer hoping to rebuild...

So Im trying to dig up a rod, piston & liner for my 03'650. In the mean time Im enjoying my FE 450 thats been debored to a 390. Im in a situation where an 02' 501 is available to me for cheap. Its a strong rebuilt engine w/rekluse clutch on a clean bike that is not being ridden. $650 cash ...

Hi all, Please can anyone briefly explain the main differences between the 2011 and 2013 300te? I have been looking for a while now but I cannot find any 2013/2014 300s for sale whilst there are few older ones on the market at the moment so I am wondering what are the 2013 benefits...

I've been told my piston is at the end of its life. However it looks barely worn. There are no big gouges and the crown looks good too. I'm wondering how it can be worn when the original machining lines can still be clearly seen? Surely if it was worn there would be marks. This is the piston...

Hey guys! Hoping to join the Husaberg owners ranks again. Looking at possibly purchasing a 2000 FE600E that happens to be Ca. street plated. I know the 2000 model is a transitional year with the old engine and new (at the time) chassis. I really like the looks of the 2000-2008 bikes and...

Hi! Just noticed today I'll need to change my front brake pads soon. Took a look at the manual and found that it has these at the moment: 50313030100 - BRAKEP. SET FR. TOSHIBA TT2701 HHB But it also has 3 other pads listed there: 50313030000 - BRAKE PAD SET FR. TOSHIBA H38...

Just wondering who has made the jump from pre 09 (2004-2008) to the new latest & greatest 70 degree jobbie? I like my old girl but am getting itchy for a change. I have even been fantasising about 2 stroke but after riding a 300TE, after getting off my 06 450, I was left wondering (light &...

just want to hear some opinions on the old husabergs. i currently own a 1995 ( i think ) fc 501 and recently got the old gal running correctly. i only picked it up for $300 and only put $200 into it . it needs fork seals and front wheel bearings but other than that its a good runner , scary as...

I have just recently had some work done on my 01 501 and one of the mods was to vent the crankcase through the exhust. Craig at HRT racing hs been doing this mod to all sorts of racing bikes for years so I had him do it to mine. All he did was weld a small tube on the header under the gastank...

Hi Guys, Had my bike for a while now and figure it's time to spend some dollars on some correctly sorted suspension. On a good day I might make the grade as an 'average Joe' but I certainly ain't no pro. I'm 6'4" and probably 115-120kg fully loaded and ride all sorts of conditions. I've done as...

Has anybody ridden one of these yet? I have an issue with the rear brake, as i have dodgy ankle. The left handlebar mounted brake option is a massive pull for me, but having not ever any bike with a Rekluse, let alone a 570, whats the opinion? My Gasser 300 is gone, the cash is in my pocket...

what do you guys think this would do for a 05 fc450? the stock 13 48 seemed to be a little tall in the slow technical and second gear on the big climbs seems to bog out at all the wrong times.

HI, I'm new to Husaberg and recently saw a 2003 FE 501 advertised for $2500. Seemed like a good deal. Originally I was looking for a 450. How does the FE 501 compare to the FE 450? Is the 501 a good bike? Anything to look out for? Thanks

How good is this bike? How does it compare to a 2005 KTM 450 EXC? How do you guys like this bike? Thanks

As quite a few of you know, I've spent a considerable amount of time working on an exhaust system with silencer for the Husabergs. The thing that has taken the time in all this is the development of a silencer as I opted to make a silencer that was totally maintenance free without any packing...

Hello all; I am looking for any advice on aforementioned model. I am new to Husabergs (have owned many Jap bikes & two KTM's) I have found a very nice example in excellent condition, but am nervous because I have heard conflicting reports. Some say all pre 2003 "Husy's" are problematic; Local...

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a Scotts(Ohlins) steering damper and was wanting to know opinions on what people think is the best mounting setup and why. It's for a FE550e '05 bush/forest riding only. I have another brand (MSC) currently above bar mounted. ie) Above bar...
