My speedo/hour meter has been on the fritz for a while, and finally went out (2010 FE450) on my ride Saturday. I assume replacement is a simple plug-and-play? Also - I thought I heard before that it isn't powered - could this be as simple as changing the battery within the meter?

Hey All,
New guy here looking into purchasing an '06 FE 450. I've actually never heard of a Husaberg until coming across this bike several years ago when it was purchased by a very good friend of mine. Long story short, my good friend passed away, and I've got the opportunity to purchase...
In the upcoming months I am looking to buy an FS570. If you have one available, are planning to sell, or know where I can get one please list below. Anywhere in Europe is considered. I am willing to pay well for the right one!
Thanks for any help given!
Jester!
Hey guys - happy Spring riding to everyone.
From the beginning....I was running a Shorai LFX14L2-BS12 14 amp battery. Bike started getting grumpy about starting in the cold and would not crank over without a jump. Battery approx. 2 years old and maintained.
Next ride a month later, while...
I just bought my first berg, an 08 fe550. I'm very excited! I've only had it for a couple days. I've put maybe 30 minutes on it. Really looking forward to getting it on the dirt. I'd love to get some good tips or tricks on things I should do to this machine. Performance mods, care tricks...

Hi all,
I am a very happy new owner of 570 (MY '10), even though I've ridden by bike for only 3h :D .
In March i am planning to go for a Raid in Libia of 1400 km (Erg Murzuq,Erg Uan Casa, Akakus, Erg Awbari) and i need some advice on how to prepare the bike (thinks that need absolutely to be...
I am about to buy my first berg after having quite a few road and dirt bikes.... I am having trouble getting feedback from anyone on the FS 570 here in Aus.. I understand most convert the FE to SM.I have posted in the general section to see if anyone knows what is a good price for a new FS 570...
Looking through the owners manual for the 2010 Husabergs, it says that a 7.6 rate spring should work for those up to 200 pounds or so. I go 230 with no gear. So, on my 2010 FX 450, following that logic, I install a 8.0, set the static at 35mm, and proceed to check the race sag. 125mm 8O...
Hello Fellow Husa Owners.
I have a 2010 570 and installed the Rekluse from day one of ownership. I noticed an occasional squeal coming from below. Seemed to be at high stress times like stopped (wrecked) on a steep hill and makes the sound during takeoff. It hooks up fine but made the...

thursday this week I will be picking up my first berg, 2006 sf650c. The bike looks to be in really good condition and still has the original tires, chain and sprocket etc. is there anything I need look out for on this bike, or any common issues I should be aware of? thanks!
It looks like the topic has been brought up a few times in the forum. Has anyone found the solution to adding a kickstand to a FS 650C? Do I have to have someone weld on a tab? Suggestions?
Hi all,
I bought a 2nd hand FE400 and found that the intake valves are tuliped..
From what I derived reading though posts, I need to buy a pair of intake valves from KTM.
Would anyone know which size/part number I should get for the FE 400 head?
I will also need a pair of valve seats...
I just disassembled my 03 501 after about 200 + hours after the last rebuild and this is what I found up to now:
Big-end has some play
Balance weight was hitting the piston
Mains seem to be OK but I'm replacing them anyway
Piston oval
Cylinder oval (about 0.2 mm)
Cam damaged (chrome)...
I have just purchased an 8 hour old '04 FE450. Bike was purchased new in '07, ridden several times, and then garaged. At a minimum, the pilot circuit is plugged. So the carb is coming off.While it's off,should I rejet?. Based on the posts I've read, there seems to be little consensus on what the...
Hi Guys
Ive got an FE400 E. Was out riding last weekend, lights were working when I set off - but it was a very wet day. I started the bike yesterday and now the lights don't work and I'm not sure what it could be... I'm hoping... that its crappy contacts that need cleaning up perhaps, but...
So I ended up with a complete 19" rear wheel by mistake. The price was right so I kept it with the idea of putting an 18" rim on it
I am a regular on the ice and I remembered that it was easier to get 19" ice tires (since all the moto bike use them) than it was to get 18".
Perfect, I'll...
