test

Well, I test rode an FE650e today and whoa, this thing is nuts---totally nuts. I rode a 450 and had the throttle wide open and went through gears 1-2-3 and it didn't feel as fast as the 650 with just two BRAPPS. I didn't get a chance to ride a 550 cause it was getting dark out. But, I am going...

07FE550 with 30 hours on it (per stock speedo unit). This engine has always made a noticeable humming or rubbing noise from the engine when under load at medium revs (quarter through half throttle) in third gear and up. This is a linear sliding type sound, that I can only see as being the...

What do I need to set the gap at on a IXU24? I would like to try one to see the difference but I think the gap is a little too much as stock. What's your idea? Thanks

Hi All, Just got the most recent issue of Dirt Rider magazine with the wrap up of the Long Haul test of the FE650. In the end the bike had 210 hours on it, and all other bikes should be green with envy over the final results. The only thing that really needed replacing after all those...

Hi I'm new to husabergs, having just bought an 05 FS650e. Does anyone know the link to a 2006 BIKE magazine test comparo of the Aprilia v Husaberg v KTM? Cheers

Last weekend I delivered a 2007 FE550 to a CDN Magazine that was not doing a shootout, but a real world comparo between a KLX450, WR450, CRF450X, 525EXC and a FE550. I was going to take a 450, but it was sold a few days earlier. After 400kms of trail riding, the magazine guys were blown away...

Greetings, I have to say that I am disappointed in CN's off road test of the 450's. In the past, the test has been much more thorough (and accurate) in regards to technical aspects of the bikes and their strengths and weaknesses. I would say that this test was more of an overview, than a...

I can't believe no one has brought this up yet. Once again a nice write up by Jimmy and staff. Something to the effect of "this thing is trying to out last the hour meter" More importantly please read Jimmy's editorial, he is challenging all of us to get involved now! Our rights and freedoms are...

Dirt Rider used their long term 2006 Husaberg FE650 which survived last years 24 Hour Test unscathed and ran it again in this years 24 Hour Test. It survived! Other than a loose battery connection, the bike ran FLAWLESSLY!!!!! I do not recall Dirt Rider ever using the same motorcycle for...

When in the Grocery store, pick up the Feb 2007 Cycle World. Up front is a quick ride review of a 2006 FE450E. Why didn't they test a 2007? Anyhow, they really liked it. Having to criticize something, they thought the suspension soft for big whoops and hits, but excellent everywhere else. They...

Hi All, I have had a lot of e-mails regarding the SEM failing after they have run at a high temperature this indicates poor quality enamelled wire, so I have been testing one of my rewound stators to see if temperature had any bearing on it's performance. I have not tested any of my ignitions...

Just recieved the Oct. Dirt Rider Mag with their Long Haul FE650 test bike. Another positive story by Jimmy Lewis and for the BOSS.

My 99 Husaberg FE501 has no spark, I have been searching the forums for infot buy I wonder if anyone can tell me how to test if the stator is working. I parked the bike and charged the batt, I left the charger on for a few days becuase I charger has a auto shutoff ( I least thats what it said)...

Enduro shootout with the 450 husa in good detail Here

I'm not expecting an overwhelming response here but thought I would throw it out there. I sold my 520 a few months ago and plan to purchase a new bike around the August time frame. My dilemna is that I would like to purchase the FE550 but need to take it for a test ride prior to committing the...

Hi Bergers, Had about 20 mins on one on Saturday in some tight single track and more open trails. Wonderful, one is in my future for sure. The same as my 501, only more of it, power, GRUNT, steering, fabulous. Also got to ride a CRF450X and compared to my old 98 501 it wouldn't steer, no...

Hi All! I have learned, well after the fact, that Dirt Rider magazine included the Berg FE450E in their 2005 24-Hour Torture Test with several other 450s. Hopping onto the web to the Dirt Rider back-issue site to buy a copy of that mag, I have learned that particular issue (May 2005) is...

When I bought my bike, a 2000 FE400E, used 2 years ago I read about all of the electrical issues that everyone seemed to have with their bikes. So I decided to try a couple of things myself to see if I could improve on the issues that bothered me. First off the original owner said that the...
