spring

problem is to identivy the springs, because there are no marks on. My dealer has some second hand springs in stock, but he dont know the spring rates too. I have found this.: http://www.hagen-adams.de/projekt/exc45 ... lfeder.htm Do you agree? Or is there a (better) chart anywhere...

First off bike specs: '04 FS650e USA edition Okay well I have been searching but before I started digging in where everyone else was suggested there was one thing the others didn't have that I had, the bike was running fine then died. I JUST bought the bike, test rides were all fine, bike...

Gents, for those who do their own head work, what Valve Spring Compressor do you use? I have equipment for automobile engine use but it won't fit the Husaberg head. Thanks, Joe

Top O' The Morning, My 03 Fe400 stock rear spring isnt quite strong enough for my 200lbs(without gear). I am under the impression that WP has a spring just strong enough for my weight. My question is should I go with the WP or is there a better spring (both quality and price) in the...

Hi, I ride a 04 FE450E. I got a spare pair of fork springs when I bought my bike from the previous owner, the box they are in says .042's, but I'm dubious as to what they really are....why would the guy go out and buy the same springs that came with the bike as new. He weighed approx...

Hey there guys, I've got the first part of the ride report done. I'm not quite sure when I'll get this finished, as I'm still trying to catch up, but I'm finishing the days as time permits. I will post here to let you know when another day is up. Also, as I say every time I do a ride...

Well after 7000 miles and 280 engine hours of good yeehaw fun it finally happened. I have a broken exhaust valve spring. Wasn't riding it hard, just fun as usual and then the motor quietly went dead. No nasty noises or grinding sounds. Opened up the motor and found it was a broken exhaust...

Needs some advice here guys. I have taken possession of my '06 FE550 ( weapon ! ) & doing the regular checks when you get a new bike. I have found that the part # on the rear spring is 92/250 which only references to the harder spring for a FS model ? I have measured the shock & it matches...

Hi guys Looking for some info on an 07 FE450 regarding the stock spring rates as info seems hard to track down for these bikes. What fork springs does it have? What shock spring does it have? What rates are people using in the 85kg (187lbs) range. This is for a top level 1x National...

Ok Taffy, KTMlew, and anyone else with an opinion, check this out. I've been on and back off so many suspension bandwagons over the years, it's not even funny. My latest foray is into the world of the new progressive rear springs special built for us "big boys". I have installed a...

98 FE501E - I have my engine torn down for an unrelated issue, and noticed the auto-decomp spring was broken and missing the ends, leaving just a coil around auto-decomp shaft. There's no manual decompressor on my bike. I have been in touch with a dealer to get a new spring, but would I see an...

mx tech has an online spring rate generator, see it at http://www.mx-tech.com/?id=spring_generator

Hi peeps, Having a bit of bother removing the base/bottom from my 5018pds (04 fe450e) to replace the spring with a heavier one. I've consulted the parts manual,page 25 shows an exploded view of the lower section, However, exploding it in real life is giving me grief. Q1. Does the "contra...

so, i got a .44 and .46 spring for the forks, making a .45-ish spring rate since the .42 stockers were riding too low in the travel. the new springs were a few mm longer, so i left out the 2 thin preload spacers on each leg and just kept the thicker one. i went 2 stiffer on rebound damping and 1...

Thought I would share this tidbit of info, hoping it helps someone. I am a 205lb rider, could not get my static sag/rider sag correct on my 2006 FE450e. I have a friend with many KTMs, many spares, got a PDS4-250 spring from him. It dialed my sags in correctly, and is a great improvement. My...

I thought it be good for the children to tune in to a different channel right now... After snowing every day since Christmas (my observation, 100% accurate... :wink: ) it suddenly melted away like a Slurpee on the tarmac in Phoenix. Here is a translated post from my club´s web forum...

Any Michigan 'berg riders going to the Rites of Spring?

Hallo everybody in this beatyful forum, I would share something with you: last autumn the exhaust valve spring of my 650 berg brake, so I dismounted many staff for reparation...practically everything....and so playing and thinking I began to try some changes...this is the result 8) 8O...

Looking to lower my bike about 1.5" I know after trying to set the sag that the spring is to stiff.What is the correct spring to order for my 2001 husaberg fx470e.I am 5"6" 165 lbs.The spring I have now is a PDS 7-265..

I need a 9.2 rear spring and I have a 8.4 ,8.8, and a new 76/95 to sell or trade?
