wear

Hi guys, I'm rebuilding a 04 650 FSE and found flakes on the oil drain magnet. So I took the engine apart for a full rebuild and found the gear dogs pretty worn. I suppose the metallic flakes come from there. I don't have much experience with these parts, the gears are expensive so I...

Hey all. I have a 2009 Husaberg FE570 with 13000 miles and 440 hours. No top end work as far as I know (or anything deeper). I’m in the middle of assessing some things. Leak down test was about 8%. Could be a good thing. The rockers looks worn. And the cam has some shininess in a vertical...

Edit: Got my answer from Taffmeister re: the cam wear. But I'll leave all this up just in case. He stated it's fine to use. After some disassembling I discovered I had a broken intake valve (right if sitting on bike) and a beat up shim laying in the head. But no other damage so far including...

Husaberg Wear Limits and Torque Values From a 2001 Husaberg 400/450 Should work for other models

Hi! Bike: 2007 FS650-e supermotard When the season ended here in Norway:cold: I decided to open the clutch cover to check if some parts needed to be replaced, as there had been some whining-noises while riding. There had also been a high-pitched noise while accelrating fast from a complete...

The chain on my bike 09 fe450 is worn quite badly, to the point that the clip on the split link is almost worn through!! The only place that I can see where it's wearing is on the chain guide at the bottom by the rear sprocket. I'm new to dirt bikes, is this a normal wear and tear thing? Or do...

Hi! I noticed my clutch starts to slip more and more, but the weird thing is that the friction plates have no signs of wear at all? I'm using plutoline 10w50 nanotech as engine oil, so nothing wrong with that? its a fs 570 from 2010!

as noted elsewhere, the countershaft or drive shaft splines can wear prematurely on the 70 degree bergs and ktm exc models. it seems the steel of the shaft isn't always that hard... i was thinking of trying the dirt tricks washer but essentially it just looked like a stronger version of the...

Has anyone else got issues with their rear brake lever causing excessive wear on the clutch cover. My bike is only 1500klms old but it looks like I need to replace the cover already... and no it hasn't been dropped hard on the side. :?

Was checking my valves yesterday and noticed that my exhaust clearances have opened up from the last time, 0.19 from 0.14. This I thought was odd but did notice that roller on the exhaust rocker arm has a small wear line on it that the intake one does not have. I looked in the service manual...

Hi! Is this normal? ( is it supposed to be like that) : There were allso pretty much stuff on the oilplug magnet but transmission gears looked fine.

I sent for a titanium countershaft sprocket which was guaranteed never to wear out. Harder than stainless, etc. It's definitely good stuff. My concern is for my countershaft. The sprocket is held on by the circlip, and there will be relative motion, and fretting, between the sprocket and...

I have an 09 FE 570 with 320kms on it. On both sides the covers are already quite scored from my boots rubbing on them. Should this be the case?, there are even some small grooves there, like cuts, has anyone else noticed excessive wear here?

Just bought a hoodie of his guy. Cheap! http://shop.ebay.co.uk/250trevor/m.html ... &_osacat=0

Has anyone been able to come up with a wear sleeve for the waterpump shaft? Mine is grooved already and "weeps" constantly when running. I'll change the seal again and try to position it a little differently if possible(deeper?). I was thinking a wear sleeve like on diesel crank rear main would...

i have a crank stripped and the inside of the rod is more worn more on the fringe than in the middle. careful inspection shows it to be the cage scrapping all the way around the inside of the rod - obviously always going with gravity etc. the rod has given the inside cheeks of the crank a...

Hi there, can anyone explain me why the Berg/KTM rear-brake pads(OEM-parts) are gone within just some hours/days of offroad-riding? :cry: On all of my past Offroad-bikes the rear-brake pads lastet for almost a season? And I´m not talking about pro-racing, I´m just Mr. Average...

we have a new sub chapter in the doc (thanks maddel) named 'engine wear and tolerances. the idea is that you get to know everything abd when it's knackered. measurements taken etc. so i will have more questions for you all again! we have also put the front and rear suspension as a...

just want to open a thread to talk about rocker shaft wear, about camchain wear etc. i'll start the debate by offering the following: 1. when is the rocker shaft worn IYHO? 2. the rocker shaft has two holes out one way and one hole out the other. which way should they face? 3. which...

Hello all, I am getting excessive chain wear and I cant figure out what is causing it? When I get back from a 2 hr ride the Teflon bottom plate has a line of metal shavings below the front sprocket. Anyone seen this before?
