valve

Took my fs570 in valvle adjust at 40 hrs, they left the breather hose off and it ran really poorly got hot and died a couple of times, spit some oil out. Went to pick it up and it did not start battery dead. They replaced the battery sorted the lines and got it running. I go pick it up and it's...

Just to let you know that we have lost 5 hours today between two men. we have had a Husaberg in that needed the carb kit to spruce it up a bit. so usual job, needle, atomiser, fuel valve etc, etc. we put it on the bike and as usual it leeked a little but we tried to carry on as the...

Sorry to trouble you with what I am sure is a simple question. Recently got a FE 390 (upgraded from a 2006 FE 450) and wanted a quick bit of advice refarding the pipe coming out of the valve cover. What does it do!! Is it a breather pipe?? Mine runs down to just in front of the gear shift and...

I have a new manual decomp valve, pn# 200-059-01 with circlipe, oring and return spring and a used handlever with cable for sale $85 bucks for the lot, the decomp valve cost $123 bucks from the dealer I did`nt no at the time but the 98 600 had an automatic decomp valve on the cam I was going...

Checked the valve clearances on my 2011 FE 390 that's done 4800km and 124 hours. Came up with LI= 0.12, RI=0.16, LE=0.18 and RE=0.19. They haven't really changed much from the last time I checked them 2000km ago. Bike still starts and runs fine............ Would you blokes bother to change shims...

Hi all Going to adjust the valves for the first time and need a few tips, as well as the clearance? Thanks in advance. Mike.

Hi people, I was wondering if anyone knows if the intake valve seats on a 99 FE600 are supposed to be cut in a three angle concave shape. The ones on mine seem to be the reverse of a regular three angle grind. Everything is smooth and the valves and seats look like new. I have never seen this...

I hope.. 05' 650.. 230 hours I was ridin along kinda easy, going through the gears when at about 5-6k revs it quit accelerating. Thought I was out of fuel at first, but ruled that out as it kept running. Running crappy with barely enough power to hold 40 mph. It turns over with the...

I need to know the amout of play when ajusting my valves on a 1995 fe 501, mine have no play at all and is popping out the exausy slightly,also the decompresson cable is way out of adjustment and the at au sat to cable off the kick was no working at all,so need to know how to set those...

I pulled the head apart on my 01 fe650 and this is what I found. I'm open to input. I've never had a high perf four stroke apart before. I'm curious about the rim of the valve by the head that is inthe cylinder and not sitting in the seat. Is this normal?

Good Evening, I have an issue where my bike is running good (not perfect) but the biggest issue is that it is slow to return to idle...(the bike is 100% std) The bike had been laid up for nearly 8 months while I had a knee reconstruction but I'm now ready to go so I got it out, some fresh fuel...

Just thought I'd drop a line to tell you about the valve sealing troubles I seem to be getting when rebuilding engines. I often didn't used to have to worry about valves sealing on the exhaust side but in recent engines it has been virtually every single one! lapping the valves in, I find...

Formally husaberg rider (FE 390),now sipping orange aid,trying to pretend it still looks blue :wink: Have a 2010 exc 300 Ilike to ride as difficult terrain as I can find,without braking my neck,I am not interested in blatting across paddocks or open trails much.I have done suspension and set...

Hi can anyone tell me the valve clearance on a fe400e 2003 burg?

does anyone know where to find out the standard valve stacks? Looking for KTM xc (250/300) and Husaberg two stroke (TE 250/300) 2011 fork valving differences and shock if possible Have done back to back tests with both bikes and it's interesting the diference in the two setups!

Hi everyone. My first valve check was done by the dealer but its time for #2 and I want to do it myself. I have looked through 7 different threads on this site so pretty comfortable with the 1/6 method. What i did not find here or in any of the manuals is the torque setting for the valve cover...

I just picked up an 2001 FX470. This thing is a monster! 8O It's my first 4-stroke. I've had 2-strokes for a long time. I just got back from the Desert 100 in Odessa. There was a whole ton of dust that stuck to the cylinder head, due to oil seeping out from the valve cover? Is there a gasket...

Does anyone have directions on how to perform a valve service on the new engines?

Hello, have seen posts on here regarding the 1/8th and 1/6th method of adjustment . but what is the correct tappit feeler gauge measurement in mm or thou ? . thanks jon

Hey all, I checked my valves last week and the intake were in spec, but both my exhaust valves were pretty tight, either right at the limit or just a bit past. Is this type of adjustment normal for such a low hour bike? Should I make sure to adjust it right away?
