I have a 2002 650 FSe with the original speed/odo driven by a gear on the front wheel spindle and a cable. The speedo has both mph and km/h but shows too low speed. At estimated 70 km/h in traffic it shows about 40 km/h. At first I thought the drive gear was replaced with one for a 21” wheel...

I've wanted an FS570 for a long time, ever since they came out. I recently decided it's time to buy one, and asked a friend who has one what problems to look out for. In reply, I got: Obviously it's possible that it needs quite a bit of work, but it's also possible that it's nothing...

So it turns out that although the exhaust sounds good, the mid pipe touches the fuel hose inlet that goes into the carb.... All sorts off issues with that Where it goes 2 in to 1 is further along the pipe then where it should be. So annoying, only just got it and only test drove it once. Re...

Sorry for beating the dead horse, this is my first post and a long one(sorry in advance). I just bought this bike last week went for 2 small rides and I was amazed how snappy and responsive the bike is, already in love with the thing but sadly also already having issues. The previous owner...

I found a few things wrong in the workshop manual, and online shops for the 70 degree bikes, regarding the crankshaft and woodruff keys. It seems like all you need is one woodruff key for the flywheel but you also need one for the timing chain sprocket and one for the primary drive. Lets look...

I New to berg. The previous owner said the bike was hard to start. After reading till my eyes bleed I think I have learned some things. 99 is a bit of a grey area for hardware because it was the beginning of several changes. One of which was the electrical system. I have a 99...

G'day all, I was out bush doing a few fire trails and all of a sudden sounded like it has rocks inside the motor, though it still runs as normal no smoke coming out of the exhaust. What do you think it is?? just to see what im up for???

Hi guys, not very mechanical here, but just finished my first valve adjust on my 08 fe450 today. had a shop do them last time, and while i watched, being alone is another story :) I went with 1/6 method The adjust itself is easy enough, but the issue is finding TDC. I tried to follow the...

2010 FE 450 Bought some Michelin S12XC's for both front and back, Michigan is nothing but sand. Haven’t ridden on them yet but will do so soon. I have a trip out to KY planned and wanted to get the Medium compound M12XC to take with me just in case I start throwing knobs or might be proactive...

I like many of you found my water pump seal installed backwards after my hussy started leaking from the weep hole at 100 hours. I ordered the seal listed in the parts manual and I think it is the wrong one. The new seal (p/n 0760102455) appears to be like the oil seal that shares the same bore...

2010 FE 450. Two years old and only 15 hours because total lack of confidence in this machine. I end up using the ol' KTM 400 or reliable two stroke when I go out. Have had three failures on the trails and called Rick at BOSS several times to try to identify why this POS paperweight tends to...

Ok guys, I've searched TON and have actually checked my valves before successfully but am having some problems this time around. The bike is a 1997 FE400! The Problem - I cannot loosen the valves enough to fit a .10mm feeler gauge in. They valves are just too tight. The Process - I have...

Hy I have never done anything with a strobe lignt, but I've ordered one to try to set the timming right, the problem is that I've read several times the owners docs and I still can´t understand !! To make it simple, if I do: Find TDC (whatever the way) Make a new mark on the flywheel 5d to the...

Hi fellows: I am having a little problem with my suspension since I did my first fork mainteinance in my 2009 FE450. I want to first put you in context: 1.- I did a complet fork mainteinance in the husaberg dealer. They put a 7.5w oil and didn´t want to change it to 5w so I took the bike...

My piston and spark plug look real bad. Black gunk. There was a minor clipping sound at idle and now it doesn't want to idle. Oil,springs and cam chain look good, not much metal in the screen or magnet. I am hopeing it's just a valve adjustment or maybe I didn't tighten the clutch nut enough...

My 08 has been down a hundred times. Recently when it's on it's side it will smoke like a burning tire after being down. I put less than a quart of oil in it at oil changes and according to my oil window it's not over filled. I also noticed oil seeping out of the head pipe case junction and oil...

I bought a 2001 R6 starter motor off ebay from England. It is a lot smaller than the one in my FE600 1996. Have I bought the wrong one or do I have the wrong bike for an R6 starter motor. Mine starts on the E start when cold but not when hot. I'm half way through checking valve clearance hoping...

G'day, I'm now questioning my earlier decision to plumb all of the carb breather hoses into two final outlet hoses, simply using hose tail 'Tee' fittings, purely for simplification. If there are certain hoses off the carb requiring vacuum for any reason, plumbed inline with fuel vapour/...

OK, so last fall my water pump shaft oil seal failed so I got a new one and replaced it. I am just now getting around to putting the side cover on the bike. I get it all back together and go to put the kick starter back on and it doesn't line up properly. It is either too far forward and hits...
