starting

Hi, I have been having some problems with my FE400, It was running fine but never was able to start it on the kick start. Anyway it started ok with the bigger starter motor and ran fine but then it cut out a few weeks ago, checked the stator and found out that had gone. Replaced it, now there...

I have a husaberg FC550 SM with a keihin FCR41mm on it. Cold it starts like a charm (2 kicks, no choke needed), but when hot i almost cant start it... Anyone have some tips for me? I have checked my valves by the 1/6th turn method and will post my carb settings tonight. I also have a Sparks...

Okay, I am not clear on something. On my 01 fx 470, the auto decomp, which engages when the kickstarter comes all the way up, is working fine. Is this the same decompression device that may need modifying on some bikes to allow for electric starting to happen? I have installed a starter off...

So I just got my 2001 FX 470. The electric start does not work of course. It clicks, but that is it. So I have to kick this freaking thing. And that is an adventure..... I will get the hang of cranking it, as I have had many bikes.... My real question is, to address the ridiculous cold natured...

Guys, we had our first mildly warm ride of the season last week (mid 80's). I noticed that once the new 570 was running pretty hot, it struggled a few times to restart in gear. Once clicked back to neutral it was fine. Is this just one of those things with the clutch being hot, or something...

I just recently bought this bike. It is an 03 FE 501 with 67 hrs on it according to the computer. The bike ran fine when I parked it 2 days ago and now cannot get it to start for anything. Put new plug, oil and filter, and cleaned the air cleaner. I know Im getting fuel to the carb. Is...

My SEM stator is gone, i'm having it rewound. Will "new" stator help me with hard starting? I couldn't start the bike with electric start and sometimes i had to kick it couple times to get it started when hot.

My bike start absolutely perfect on the button when cold (Choke on) But needs some throttle when hot (No choke offcourse) Idle is good & also idlespeed is ok after starting Can someone give me a hint here, what's this a sign of ?? Pilot bigger/smaller ?? Fuelscrew has been tried with no...

I have three bergs, 99 fx600, 98 fe600, 99 fc501. the fx600 will kick back hard when I try to start, the other 2 bike never do.. just wondering what might cause this, I about broke my ankle the other day... is there any thing that can be done to fix this?

Hi! I have some problems starting my 650, both warm and cold engine. I'm sure it's 'user fault' on my part as well. However, no matter how i maneuver the decomp, it won't start on either kick or electric motor. I have to run it downhill to start it, and then it seems to run just perfect.. Too...

hi i am a first time buyer of a berg. just brought this one maybe stupidly as one with starting problems. not sure of hours or miles... it will start on a tow and run and idle. but only on a tow.............. the kick has a tight spot and the elec start wont do very much at all. just...

My 570 has refused to turn over properly three times. The first time I coasted it for a bump start and after an hours ridding time it cranked over as it should. Next day it cranked over and started right it. Two other times it not had enough umph to turn the engine over. It is only a few eeks...

Being an 02 owner the leccy boot has given me a few probs, its got to the stage where it always starts well on the kickstarter but the leccy boot wont touch it. Playing about today found that while jump starting it from a truck battery it wouldn't fire up if i bypassed the relay but when i...

oiled the air filter like i use to with my old 200,,put oil/filter in carrier bag then sqeezing it.. then bike would nt start obviously to much oil on the filter... so bought the spray on type gave the filter a light sprey & still wont start...seems to me these filters dont like hardly any...

I recently obtained a 1999 FS 600 from a dear friend that is not able to ride much anymore due to heart problems. When he gave me this bike it only had 25 original miles and looked like it just rolled off the show room floor. A few weeks ago, the carb came loose from the rubber manifold and the...

Hi All I need some help, I have bought a 2002 501 fe, and it wont start on the electric start, hot or cold. It cranks the engine over once or twice and then the starter motor kicks out an spins on its own, I have put a jump pack on it to see if its the battery, but it still does the same...

Right where do i start.... I have recently bought a 2003 Husaberg FS650e, when i got it home the battery was flat and i discovered that although the starter motor was attached the cog wasn't inside the block, further investigation from the bike shop that had rebuilt the engine some ago that...

Firstly, wow! excellent site and lots of info for us newbies! I bought an '03 FE400 Last week and I have a problem which is driving me mad. Every time I try to start the bike it floods, I turn the starter and fuel gushes from a overflow on the carb. On top of that, theres a little oil leak...
