Yes I am that wierd snow guy and have my own set of issues! :mrgreen: Last week it was -20deg F. I fired up the 2010 FX450 and let it idle up to operating temp. Then two miles up the trail it died. Upon inspection I found the timing chain guides completely melted and totally wore away with...

I am trying to get all info I can before I pull the trigger on a new dual sport. I was sold on the berg until I found some complaints on how it felt tippy and sometimes difficult to handle when climbing. I know that setup is key so before I jump ship to the beta world I want to see if anyone...

Gents, I have an 08 Husaberg FE450e now with 10 hours on it. The steering feels really tight when you turn away from centre. The front guard does hit the frame but only slightly. It feels way harder to turn that my old 07 FE650e. Was there a triple clamp change from 07-08? It feels pretty...

I have just come to seperating the centre cases on my 02 - 03 FE400E and am finding them very tight. I still have the flywheel in place as I am waiting on a puller but thought I would remove the righ case from the left so I can find where the metal is coming from. I have checked and double...

I am with a lot of the guys when they talk about our bikes having a very touchy throttle. One trail I ride on has a fairly steep hill that is about 30 feet tall and at the top of the hill is a sharp 90 degree left turn you must make or you will kiss an oak tree that is right on the edge of the...
