question

I installed a fan kit when I first got my bike so it has never really run hot on me, fan just comes on when I get on tight single track. Recently I put new hoses on that are a little bigger and eliminated the thermostat. It seems like now my fan comes on more often and not just when I am on...

Hi Guys I have now done about 100 trouble free hrs on my '10 FS570 motor, no racing...love this bike! So far I have done all the servicing as per manual and at 90 hrs it says to replace the piston, camshaft bearings, etc. What is the experience here on the forum, is this really necessary...

Hello guys. A quick question: IWIS camchain standard on a 2003 650? Cheers, Tom

so, in this crazy world we live in where one of the best engine designs gets abandoned and the bike we all love gets adopted and has to change its name, would it be wise to buy a 2013 350 FE? Obviously a great bike with much more to offer than the KTM but the orange bike will still be a...

Hi! Im just wondering if I take the ignition cover off and grab the magnet, is there any play/movement allowed in the main bearing if I wrestle it? I mean it is verrrry little and you really need to wrestle with it to feel it. Cheers, Tom

I own a 2010 fe450 and just bought a used low hr 2011 fx450. The fx is much harder to put into neutral than my fe. Sooo i plan to bleed the clutch than i notice it has a 9.0 magura master cylinder instead of the 9.5. I Have only rode the fx up and down the street and besides being hard to get...

(07 Berg 550FE) First the easy question, in the manual it states to use DOT 5.1 brake fluid but then on the side of the bike (near rear brake reservoir) it says to use DOT 4 brake fluid only...ok, so which one? Secondly, just bought this bike and took it on first ride and was only riding for...

So I'm looking at a 1999 FS 600 with just a little over 600 original miles (ie almost brand new and it looks it). I'm well aware that parts are pretty scarce for these bikes but my question is how reliable are they? This one happened to be bought as an over stock item a few years back by an...

Any electrical engineers out there? I am worried we might have fried our rectifier. We have an older 2001 FX650 with the typical 4 prongs. We wired it to the diagram. 2nd prong to ground, 3rd incomming from stator, 4th output to DC circuit BUT - I didn't realize that ours was upside down...

Love this site - lots of knowledge. We have been building and tuning our FX650e - and we pretty much have mechanical issues all sorted out. here is the question - We bought this bike in a crate from auction and wire harness was missing - we have made our own and have been pretty seccusfull in...

Hello, I have had my suspension done professionally in the past After taking my fork caps off my 650 to change oil I noticed that the caps were bottomed out correctly onto the spindle of the Hydraulic stop but then the stop was brought up to the cap and tightened instead of continuing to tighten...

Great forum - hope i don't catch hell for a silly question but here goes. We recently picked up a near mint 2001 Husaberg FX650e. This bike was al in boxes and the final result was a very-very well kept bike. There were alot of extra parts such as twin pipes, crankshafts, sleeves, - suspension...

Hey guys - I am the proud new owner of a very rare 2001 FX650e we have a full garage and bought this bike in an auction - it belonged to an open class racer that had to sell. Anyways, the bike was mostly apart in boxes. Engine was complete - seems everything was there but starter and starter...

Hi Folks from a potential Husaberg owner. I am seriously considering a new 2013 TE300 and would like to know what sort of tank range I could expect? Planning to ride some longer course Rallys that are up to 140/200 miles which includes 3 or so special tests, so much of the lap is fast trail...

Hi, I'm rebuilding my engine after my crankshaft bearings failed. I've cleaned everything and spent a lot of time on the oil lines... I took pictures while disassembling the engine and found that: Before my complete clean-up, look at the oil jet in the top center/right of the picture: Now...

My 2010 390 won't start after some headwork. I get one spark to the plug when the starter button is pressed, then no further sparks. Engine turns over fine. Dealer said, on the phone, that it's a "loose connection". I've checked everything I can think of but no success. Main harness...
