steering

While working on my brothers forks we thought we sholud grease the steering head bearings, but we cant get the stem out? From what i read the stem is pressed on earlier models, but in the manualt it says that it should be enough to tap the lower clamp lightly and the stem should come out...

How can I remove the steering stem lock on my '97? I am going to do some welding and repaint the frame anyway so a bit of butchery is not a problem.

Gday I have a Wer damper that was mounted on my KTM 450 EXC, that I'd like to fit on a new FE, it had been modified to fit upside down behind the headlight as apposed to sitting out over the front gard as per factory instructions. Has anyone installed a Wer damper in a similar...

Hello all, I thought I would share with you today my new cool tool. It's a Snap on adjustable 3/8 crows foot wrench. It's got inch and mm settings for a maximum opening of 1 1/8. Good enough to adjust the steering head nut on our Husabergs which is 27 mm or 1 1/16. I just did a minor snug up...

Has anyone fitted the new Ohlins SD MX 2.0 steering damper to a '09 Berg yet ? I believe the '09 KTM EXC mount kit should work, just want to see if anyone has done it yet http://www.ohlins.com/ms/sdmx.asp

Greetings All! I noticed that there is very little clearance behind the connector for the lights and engine stop and the bracket for the steering damper. Here is a picture: I removed the connector from the plate holding it, as the plate is made from very soft metal and is bending...

Hi Guys, I have had my Berg since November. It is a 2003 400FE and has no more than 70 hours on the clocks...well thats the good bit. The engine in fine the electrics are repaired and every thing was good until...yesterday.... The headbearings were very tight so I got replacements. Knowing...

Hello guys, After a very very dangerous fall on course I think I will never drive again without steering damper.I had 5th gear with more than 160 km in my 07 fs 650e and before the brakes suddenly a tank slapping dropped me to the ground........The doctor said I am very lucky I will walk...

What brand Steering damper fits and works best on the FE models? We ride alot of rock and I have a showroom of '08's on the way. Just wondering what to put on my demo and suggest to customers. Thanks,

Since the first day I have owned this new 06 FS it has had a click in the steering head area. Sounds and feels like a loose bearing setup but I can not get rid of it. If you push the bike into a 4inch high curb it will 'click' going up on initial impact and 'click' when it hits the ground...

Has anyone done this? I am curious because I forgot to do it before mounting the big tank. I spent several hours with a heat gun reshaping the front of the tank for more clearance. I wound up with 38 deg left and 36 deg right using a machinist's protractor. (0 degrees being straight ahead and...

just went to fit the steering damper that i have had sitting on the shelf for the last 2 yrs and found that the vertical arm that attacheds to the steering head won't fit, probably cos it was for my ktm's. :cry: its an msc damper from Oz is, there anyone who has that arm that they want to...

I just got back from my first ride with installed sub-mount damper installed. Rode some technical rocky sections, it really shines there! Also noticed it on some high speed fire road riding, the front end seems much more stable and planted. I was a little skeptical at first, but I am a convert...

So I just pulled up to my chiropractor's office to see an '05 FE650 sitting by the door! I started talking to the owner who said he just bought it used, and it was already plated. He said it would be nice to have an ignition key and I replied that at least it had a steering lock. He looked and...

Can some one tell me how to remove and replace the steering lock barrel? I have a new lock assembly keyed to match the keyed ignition... Cheers Mark

Does any one know how to get a key for my 97 fe-400 steering lock.

Make sure you put some lock tite on your steering head nut....it will rattle off....mine did yesterday and my friends did it last year after a few rides.

before I spend big bucks on one I'd like to know if anyone has fitted one before and how much difference it maid. cheers Joe

Hi All Still rebuilding my 400/600 bitsaberg. Gradually the thing is coming back together. It now runs ( rather well actually), looks fairly good but I still need to get the gearbox sorted. I now think theres a problem with the steering head tho'. If i tighten the locknut with the wheel...

I just got my first Husaberg (FE650E 2004) and its madness ! My bike came with both supermoto wheels and enduro wheels. The local Husaberg dealer and the only other guy I know in my area who has a Husaberg (2004 FS650E) said I need to get a steering stabilizer. For the little experience I...
