Want to change the spark plug on my new bike - 07
Taking out the plug is straight foward ,you should have a plug spanner in your tool kit .But take care putting the new plug back ,and DON'T cross thread the plug ,as this will damage the head and cost a lot of bucks to repaire .
My riding lawn mower carburator is leaking gas.
I would suspect a damaged float in your carb. Probably has a leak in it and as a result, it 'sank' and will not shutd off when the bowl is full.
Replace the carb or rebuild with a kit that includes a new float and main valve.
How do I maintain my Husaberg FS 450 e?
ok buddy depending on enviroment you need to clean the air filter if in a dusty environment change every 2 rides if a clean environment clean it every 6-8 rides just take the airfilter out take the cage out inside rinse it out in petrol and let it dry out then wash it in hot soapy water maybe some bleach and let it dry out then buy some SILKOLENE FOAM FILTER OIL this oil stops dirt getting further in the air filter and buggering the engine up. next the engine 1st you should change the oil every 15 hours+oilfilter just simply run the bike for 5 mins to get the oil warm unscrew drain plug on the bottom off the engine and drain it completely then put the plug back in and retighten and where the oil filter is located unscrew the cover take old filter out and put the new one in also cleaning the inside when you put the new one in and retighten the cover on once thats all done unscrew the filler cap on right side of the engine and fill with oil SILKOLENE PRO 4 PLUS 5W-40 the bike will take 1 litre or add an extra 100 for filter also you can measure the oil by the sight glass and put the plug back in run it and recheck the oil level top up if necessary and the last thing is the spark plug replace this every 2 months.next the coolant check this every 15 hours just incase.then the power washing you should buy an exhaust bung to stop water in exhaust and put a bag over the air filter when cleaning also dont spray the radiator up close as this will bend the fins and not allow cooling for the engine then will seize up.and lastly the bearing on the bike i would do this every 6 months just strip the swing and arm the wheels and steering and regrease the bearings get back to me when it has been 6 months buddy i hope this helped anynore info just email me
Twisted forks
and when the forks/bars/tripleclamps are straight the wheel goes towards the right. ii think they are twisted or bent. how much do new forks cost?Loosen your front wheel slightly.
Loosen your fork clamp bolts on the triple clamps slighty.
Hold the front brake lever.
Put one leg on either side of the front wheel to keep it from moving.
Use the handlebars to turn the front end back straight.
Tighten everything back up using a torque wrench and torqueing to the proper values from your service manual.
Go ride and have fun. ,
Chain lubricant
Most are spray mate but I have used chainsaw oil in the past its very good easy to clean off if it flings and I just used to put it on the chain with an old paint brush.,,,
I want to know the theory behind changing the needle clip settin
The most important thing is to read your spark plug. As long as the insulator surrounding the electrode is completely golden brown then you are doing things right. The plug will tell you how the engine is running at different RPMS. Closest to the insulator is at idle and the further you look down the insulator, the higher the RPM. When you raise or lower the needle you change the fuel mixture and if the plug is black then you are feeding too much fuel in. If the plug is white or grey then you are too lean and on the verg of melting engine parts. Any modification is OK as long as you have the proper air fuel mixture and have the proper back pressure. It only takes a few seconds at full throttle to melt your engine so do research before doing any modification.
Throotle sticking on my FE400e 03 model
Hi ..... The majority of throttles close with the use of a second cable and/or the return spring on the carb. Make sure you have approx' 0.2 of a movement before throttle starts to open, second cable (closing one) is 'tight', it can be adjusted at bars and carb and that the cables are correctly routed (manual will have a diagram). Try lubricating cable(s) and throttle tube on the bars. It'll be something simple .......... let us know how you get on.
Oil check
There are usually two methods to check the oil. One is a dipstick and the other is a sight-glass. You should have one or the other somewhere on the side of the engine crankcase. It should be fairly obvious and not require the removal of any body panels. If you can't find a dipstick in the side of the crankcase you will need to get down on your hands and knees and have a look for a sight-glass instead. This will be like a tiny window with a gauge against which you can check the level.
Battery
If your bike was exposed to very hot or very cold weather for awhile that would be sufficient to weaken your battery. Heat and cold can drain a battery of power so it's important to check the battery hydro levels frequently and run a trickle charge during off-season.,,,
