KTM 500exc Husky FE501 Engine Rebuild Complete Step by Step! 

As a 22 501 owner I am so glad I have found a great well priced mechanic because he would get a rebuild done in less than a qtr of the time it would take me. When considering the price of these bikes it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind. The amount of things that could go wrong and the amount of swearing and frustration just does not make this make sense to me. do a few extra hrs of my day job to cover the rebuild with no stress and we’re sweet.

Great video thanks for making it I don’t do any maintenance myself on my 701 other than oil &filters ect but found this video fascinating thanks agin I’m binge watching all your videos today enjoying them all here from the UK 👍👍🏍

THANK YOU …SUPER DUPER HELPFUL

Wow awesome...thanks for sharing

LOVE It!! Greta video 🤝

Really nice vid, at 1.2k subs you sound like a natural! Liked & subbed and I don't even ride a 4 stroke ;-)!

great video thanks for putting up , make me think hang on minute i could do that . cheers

Awesome vid thanks. Only thing i noticed is i think the shift locking lever (

Thanks

THX for sharing your know how and patriotic video! Curiously, Beta 4 strokes have this same plastic oil pump drive setup. Can you verify that it is indeed plastic? I’d feel much better if it was nylon, just saying. Beta parts offers an oil pump drive “upgrade” kit containing steel gears. In the past I’ve stripped out 2 stroke oil injection plastic drive gears. This can leave you stranded in the woods/dessert etc. I consider this to be a real biscuit a manufacture leaves it’s customers. Keep up the great vids.

As well as how long did the whole process take ?

What’s the whole rebuild cost you ?

Great vid bro! - I've got a 13' 500 and a 16' 501 - Where are you buying your parts for your rebuild? You didn't mention what parts you had to replace - did you have to change out any of the bearings? Thanks and subscribed. Glenn

Thanks for making the video. What year was this particular engine?

When doing the piston replacement did you just stick the piston slightly in the bottom of the cylinder before putting it in the engine? And do i have to adjust the valves when doing piston replacement? I have a 2020 model😅

how did you mount new cam bearings? by tapping them in or pressing?

Thank you.

I have a 18’ fe 450. The pcv tube is routed from the valve cover and goes into the air box. Is this safe from the issues you had? I’m assuming this is the factory routing and sad but I bought if preowned. Thanks. Great content

hello I have a 2021 ktm 500 xcf-w, the weekend I was in the mountains and my motorcycle turned off in the mud, more than half of the motorcycle was in the water the motorcycle did not want to turn on immediately then it turned on and it is coming out smoke, today I wanted to change the oil and what I see is that water comes out, mud together with the oil. I wanted an opinion on what can be done in this case. Thanks

Is that oil pump gear plastic plastic? Why is it plastic? Can u get metal ones?
