removal

Hi all, I have decided not to pursue my starter motor problem but to remove it all together. Does any body on here do the bung to fill in the hole in the crank case or is it make your own jobby. It starts second or third kick cold and 1st kick when warm plus it adds a bit of nostalgia and a...

Hi ya'll. I'm sick and tired of my crappy re-starter after its poor power and going through 3 batteries. I'v decided to pull off the starter and battery for good. I've got the bike plated, though, and would like to keep some form of battery for "emergancy" lighting, ie when the engine is...

SO, how do the bearings come out of the swingarm? Are the pressed out? Can they be hammered out? I got the swingarm out and off the bike easy peasy but I can't even remove the rubber seal. Advice please... :oops:

Hi everyone, My ride is a 06 FE450e. I was wondering if there is any special procedure to remove the carburetor. I t seems really difficult to take it out. Thanks for your help.

:D Just had my crankshaft reworked by a top bloke Sean Wilson, speedway guru and head dude at SWR, he fitted the new rod kit, finally after messing about with incorrectly supplied small ends from outside sources (obviously our fault) and then drilled and balanced the crank to 70% as recommended...

I know a lot of you guys have gone to a lot of extra effort to beef up your electric starters and think they are the bees knees. :D However, since I'm putting in a custom EFM auto clutch 99% of my starting issues are over. Plus, this bike starts within three kicks when cold and one kick when...

Just started putting my 2002 650 block back together and messed up already :D I switched to roller bearings for the mains, heated up the inner bearing races ( hope this is the word, i mean the inner things on the bearings wich you can remove from the bearing and go on the crank), fitted...

Can any give me some insight as to what I'm going to encounter when I remove the transmission cover to install a new gasket. Do I need to drain the radiator or do anything else before I remove this cover. Also while I have the cover off, what types of things should I inspect while I'm in there??

in the doc..it says it is possible to remove the counter balance to eliminate possible failure ..have any of you done this ? if so is the vibration really bad ..if it is can this cause any other problems ? also can the counter balance bearing inner ring be removed and used with the spacer...

What is the easiest way to removes the battery from a 400 without dismantling the bike!

Hi, I'm removing the engine from my 1999 FE501E for a general overahaul. I've got everything disconected but cannot get the swing arm spindle to slide out. This is unlikely to be the first instance of such an issue. I'm assuming corrosion. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to...

I am trying to understand what the best method is to remove the rockers from my old rocker cover and cant figure it out, if anybody has that experience, I would appreciate! Thanks a bunch!

Ok, I got the rocker cover from HMS and, as clearly announced, it is black with soot from a fire that ravaged a Colorado dealership (there is a little bit of molten plastic from the tsnk. Besides sand blasting, what do you suggest to remove soot from this aluminum cover? Acid would eat the...

so this brake only has 1 cotter pin, and appears to have 1 allen screw looking thing on the left side holding the pin in. naturally it's extremely flimsy and stripped out instantly when i tried to get wrench on it and turn it. before i completely ruin my entire rear brake caliper, can someone...

ok so im an idiot please help. I worked on this for about an hour and a half thismorning trying to get the pin out of the rear break assembly. i have looked at the shop manual and the owners manual both state remove the cotter pin from retain pin and remove pads by pulling out retaining pin WTF...

Hi all, Was reading about engine removal time of a WR400 the other day and it got me thinking one area Husaberg excel at compared to KTM, Yamaha etc. That front motor plate makes it so quick n easy- just leave the carb hanging, battery stays put too and move it fowards and pull it out...

I am having a hell of a time trying to get the bolt that holds the swing arm on out, it's the one that goes through the motor. One end has a normal nut on it that came off no problem but the other side has a big nylock nut that is jammed up against the frame making turning it impossible...

Hello All, I've recently bought a 20 hour old '05 FE450E, but my first chance to ride it will probably be in a 4 hour hare'n'hounds in 2 weeks. In preparation, I'm going over the bike to make sure all's o.k. Now for the first of my stupid questions.... How do I get the FCR carb out to...
