seized

2011 FS570, I believe 6-7k miles on it (gauge isn't original), 6-700mi on the oil (Motorex 5100 IIRC), although it was surprisingly dark. Temps had been reasonable, a little higher than I'm used to (in the 170s, and it was a reasonably cool night, I'm used to seeing 160ish on the highway, but...

Hi guys, my rocker shaft seized to the rocker due to the crankcase oil strainer clogging up with clutch material and lack of oil to the head. I need to figure out a way to "extract" the shaft. Throw any ideas you have a me. It's soaking in penetrating oil atm and I have tried using a slide...

Hi it's Rot Box, you've probably seen me on the ATK boards. Today I finally landed a Husaberg :cool: I bought it from the original owner with a seized engine. Not sure how, what or why it seized but the price was right and I needed a project. Anyway I figured I'd take you guys along. I...

I just bought this bike and I noticed it had a lot of piston noise at idle along with a lot of smoke when the throttle was gunned. But after a 30 minute ride it all of a sudden had a drop in power and followed by seizure. It won't crank over now at all, the motor is frozen. I was just wondering...

Hi guys, I've seen a 2005 FE650 for sale with a seized engine, that had 8000km... I am thinking about buying it, if the bid doesn't go to high, My question is, do we still find all necessary parts to rebuild the engine, and has somebody an idea about how much it would costs to buy all...

I recently purchased a 94 501fe as a project bike that is seized up. It will not kick over and will not push start but when clutch is pulled when it's in gear it will go to neutral. It will also shift through the gears. Any ideas anyone before I start digging into this thing. I'm hoping it's...

Serviced my 570 a couple of months ago. New counter shaft, piston, timing chain bla bla bla. Got it running very well next minute it stopped only about 100 kms. Pulled it down seized rockers, piston quite worn. (Lucky no bugged barell) the oil strainer blocked. Thought I left something in there...

Hi all I have come across a very good priced 2000 model Husaberg fe 501 with a couple of minor things that need fixing but there is one im not too sure about. it wont kick over, it feels like the kick start is jammed in position and wont move. has anyone heard of this happening? or is...

Hi guys. I'm relatively new to husabergs. I bought mine 3 weeks ago. I've been riding it about loads. I've changed the oil every 4 hours and checked the valve clearances every second oil change. It's a 2002 husaberg fs 650 3250 km on the clock and it's had a full rebuild in the past...

Hi there, i was hoping to get a bit of help from you guys in relation to my Fe450 2009 model. I recently burnt our my clutch due to some pretty harsh abuse in muddy conditions. Long story short, replaced the clutch and oil and then 15 minutes after that on a new ride the bike seized. The bike...

3 out of 6 subframe bolts are seized and just spinning in the mouldings for the tank and the rear subframe. any ideas how to get them out ? as i can't get the tank off until they're out.

Hi All, Got a brand new 2011 FE390 and I went to remove the spark plug for a look while preparing the bike and there's no way it's going to come out. Anyone got any ideas how to get it out ?

Well finally joined up and paid a donation for advice and technical help.... Well ive finally knackered my FS650E Supermoto 2002 all down to my fault not topping up the oil, well i didnt know it was really that low in the first place... Before anyone ask yes ive been having to top the oil up...

I was on a transfer section at the recent National Enduro @ Upton when my bike died on me. Did the quick basic checks.... oil full....coolant full.... battery terminals all good. Long story short I finally couldn't diagnose the problem myself so I took it to the shop. Turns out I have a...

Entered the local single-trail club ride on the weekend and had an awesome ride, despite crashing so many times I lost count. In the ends a nasty fall from damp log left me with a set of very sore ribs, so I gave my bike to my brother to ride after his Husqvarna boiled over. His story goes like...

Not my engine but tought it was fitting for this occasion. Bought the bike second hand, did exactly 10km's with it and then this! Comes to 600euro's per km I've driven :-).

Brought my FS650 back home from the few miles down the road where i had stored it for the last few weeks, just overtaking a car when it locked up, fortunately only a mile from home but still a long push, and then it started raining to add insult to injury. Only had a quick look at it, oil seems...

used my starter on warm motor, back fired and then the starter would not disengage at all. Broke the motor all the way down, and the starter gear is completely locked to the counter balancer. I've tried locking the balancer into a vise and using a strap wrench to try to twist the gear...

Cannot believe it. First, the bike is a 2004 Husaberg FS450e with about 3700 miles and around 90 hours. I bought it about 400 miles ago and so far its been great. Will start first or second kick most of the time and not had any problems (apart from speedo playing up but that will just be a bad...

Ok so my engine seized at about 90mph yesterday. Fortunately i managed to stay on so it couldve been worse. Anyway, im just gonna give a brief description of what happened and anything i think may be relevant to see if i've done anything wrong. If i have i need to know so i dont do it again...
