- Tighten those bolts! On this episode I do some upgrades to the FE501 machine. Stay tuned for the latest and greatest on the channel! Subscribe for more awesome content!
that intro song was lit,
you must be a ghost writer for eminem
I have a 2017 fe 501 that I went completely overboard with engine mods. I recently had it dyno'd and it's putting out 67 hp at the rear wheel. It's a monster...
Bruce, I just bought my buddys very clean 2016 501s and am underwhelmed with the power delivery. The fuel was tuned very clean with a removable 02 sensor/programmer, but the bike just lacks snap. Is there an ignition mod that can be done to wake this bike up?
@Jason Kanawyer yeah, that's exactly what happened to me. When I first rode my bike I was so disappointed with the power output. You should go with the vortex ecu. It's probably the single best mod you can do to your bike. It's a bit pricey but worth it.
Right on. Thanks Bruce!
@@jasonk5150 also, if your bike has any emissions garbage on it, get a delete kit
@@brucefile7430 What other mods did you do for performance ? I just bought a 22 501 5days ago. I sent my ecu back to Vortex to be remapped as l was running it on my FE350. Also running a FMF slip on (big difference using that)
I must be dead inside because I’ve read so many complaints about vibrations on this bike and it’s never bothered me. I have an FE501S and do 150-175 mile days in the desert riding all kinds of terrain and I have no complaints. Stock cockpit, foot rests, seat, etc…. Just balance my wheels and I run mousse front and rear on Kenda DT Parkers. Also ride plenty of single track and on the road occasionally. Will do 80 on the highway no issues
Thanks for sharing. Great video. I have the 2017 model and my biggest frustration with it has been trying to keep the rear plate mount and turn-signals from self-destruction under hard ride. The stocker got sucked inside the rear wheel. I then put a Sicass racing mount on there and the signals vibrated themselves right out of their mounts. At $30 bucks for replacements and no help from Sicass, I ditched the whole tailight/license plate thing and went with a fender only. I don't ride on the road much anyway, and this is a good solution for me. I went with all smog removal, JD tuner and FMF silencer and it really woke the bike up. Richer is better! Like you, I ride all types of terrain, including motocross, and this bike is a great bike for a lot of different types of riding. I have a 350 as well, and that's another story!
Awesome to hear your experiences with your bike! Yes I had that happen too, the stock mount getting caught up there. I now am using a tc250 rear mud flap with the license mounted it and signals and it's been perfect! Thanks for watching! Thread locker is now my best friend!
Hi Gary on the trails and the tighter stuff is there a BIG difference between your 350 and 501 and is the 501 MUCH better acceleration cheers Nick
Such a beautiful beautiful bike! 😍🔥
I got an 18 Fe501 in the crate. Tore it down. Greased and loctite it up. New skid and rad braces. Overflow. Desmog it. Had Ecu helped a bit. Great bike stock otherwise.
You mentioned about vibration, what did you end up doing to cut that down? Great vid.
Rubber mounted foot pegs and rubber mounted top clamp. Thanks for watching
Hello there, thanks x the video, super useful. Can you show how you hold the "steg pegz" inside the spoiler? Thanks again!
Do you still have it and what do you think about it
Definitely still have it! Best bike ever!
Those Kenda tires remind me of the old Dunlop D752 as far as the pattern
What tool are you using to adjust the mixture?
Have you done any other upgrades since this video?
I have a 2018 fe 501 and I put on an FMF 4.1 slip on and I get a lot of flame out on deceleration I guess I am running to lean. I do all the mods myself so I guess I need a tuner. Which model did you put on your bike? Was it easy to install and tune? Do you think removing the vapor recovery system will help? or will the bike just run even leaner?
The vapor recovery system removal will have absolutely no effect on power. The one I have is a Dobach tuner, mine is the one from Best Dual Sports. Thanks for watching! Check out my other videos too there's tons of info in them
Hey man, I was curious if you ever got around to getting your fe501 on a dyno to see about fueling in relation to the piggyback tuner. Let me know because I’m curious to find out what the best setting are. Although I have an fe450 not a 501, i would guess they’re very similar. Love your videos by the way
Hey thanks bro! So I haven't gotten it on the dyno but I have talked to him. He said that he would have to actually weld a hole in the exhaust to put an O2 sensor in for tuning and he's really busy right now so I haven't rushed to it. But on my settings I'm running all of them on the plug and play tuner at 5.5 and that's with the reads removed and a muffler on. Hope this helps
Question, on the piggyback tuner, is richer better (my fe450 has reed cage removed and exhaust screens removed) or is there a point to where it can be too rich? Or is it just a matter of finding the sweet spot through trial and error? And if it’s a trial and error thing, what characteristics are you looking for when deciding whether or not to make an adjustment? I’ve tended to go richer due to heat and lubrication concerns. Would love to hear back. Love the channel
Also, what are the negatives of going too rich?
On the fueling of course (piggyback tuner settings) thanks
I have the “best dual sports” tuner, which I’ve gathered is very similar if not the same as the jdtuner FYI, maybe there’s a difference?
Hey Royce,
As of right now I'm trying to mainly guess. I need to get it on a dyno and have someone specifically tune it but here's what I do:
With the reeds removed and the stock muffler on I use it on the stock plug and play setting. With the Sxf exhaust muffler I run during track riding I will richen it to about 5.5 on all 3, low mid high and leave the throttle response settings alone. This seems to be slightly rich, but like you said: better rich than lean. When I had the engine apart I took the head to an engine guy and he said "looks like it was running good".
Hope this help
What sprockets you running for track days?
Stock in the front 48 in the back
Great video! I am on the fence between the 350 or 501. My last dirtbike was a 2001 cr250 two stroke... Is the 501 a handful in tight woods trails? Power too abrubt? Thx
Thanks for watching! No it's super smooth power and very nimble!

Here is a full review of the bike that might help you in your decision making process
Didn't husqvarna take care of some of this? Wow!
How do you know which colored wires go in which holes in that water proof connector?
Trail and error my friend. Got mine first try
Hey did the top triple clamp with the bushings help the vibration in the handle bars ? I've put lead bird shot inside the ends of my handle bars which helped alot but my god does these engines vibrate its crazy lol
The top clamp definitely helped!
@@DualsportDisportwhich model is the triple clamp from and which years. You mentioned 450 but that was it. Thanks
@@MAESUNN It was off of 16 model KTM 450 SX Fe but I’m sure there’s a ton of other models with the same exact clamp
When does the mix tape drop??
Hahaha soon!
Quick question. When you did the 450 air boot what did you do with the crank case vent tube. I have the same air boot ordered and was curious
Don’t run it. Watch my video that says best FE501 review. I ended up destroying my engine that way. Run the stock one and run the crank case vent into the original boot
Thank you!
how do i find that plug & play equipment to increase the motor ?
Multiple places have them. Rocky Mountain is one
I'm on the fence between this and a ktm.
Do you prefer the linkage and composite sub frame?
If you ever plan on riding the track at all get the linkage bike. That's ultimately what made my decision, I used to race motor cross and wanted a linkage bike to feel normal. Both are incredible bikes though.. feel free to check out my channel if you want to see a ton of FE501 videos. I have something on the composite subframe too
Hey I have a quick question, I don’t have my motorcycle license yet but I was wondering if it would be possible if I could register this bike as a recreational/off road bike and then down the road a motorcycle?
I am not a law expert so I really cannot provide you advice in this department. All I know is I bought my bike and it was fully street legal, and because it was I had to have full coverage on it while I had the financing
What's the skinny w/ those white plastic bumps that look like they'd be in the Steg Peg locations?
They are an invention I came up with to help me hold on to the bike better and in my opinion way better than steg pegz. Thanks for watching
The tires you use you said they are kinder track masters. Are they street legal at all? I’m thinking about switching to the house so I can hit different trails.
Kenda Trackmasters are DOT legal. That's the main advantage of them. Plus they are super cheap, lol I was racing Moto with them last year in addition to leaving my house on the road with them. Some of the trips I took I had to get on the road also so it's the perfect way to be legit
@@DualsportDisport OK awesome I think I’m going to get those for riding the trails and Street. I’ve been trying to find something that’s really good off road and decent on the road and cheap.
Do you have a link to where I can get those waterproof connectors? Thanks
I don't have a link for them but they are on Amazon thanks for watching
DT connectors
rap goes hard
They are using way too much plastic in these frames for my taste. That's a bloody disaster.
How do you ensure you're getting a proper fuel mixture with those tuners? Wide band o2 in the o2 bung??
Nope you just do it like you were jetting a dirt bike.. sound and feel
Is your bike a 2019?
Yes. I put 2017 shrouds on it because I like blue
Please my American friends- please tell me where in the word HUSQVARNA you see an “A” after the “Q” i really do not get it WHY do you pronounce it wrong???:-)
Hahaha it's a "silent" A! It just doesn't sound right without it. Probably the same reason our European friends can't say our English words properly😂 thanks for watching! Are you from Greece?
It goes back to the ancient Romans, the letter Q was always followed by UI, UE, UA...The letter Q is basically a hard O to be combined with these vowel sounds. The V sound in Nordic is derived from the U of the ancient Indo-European language e.g. Hus quar na = Hus qvar na, but English speakers want to pronounce the V as the beginning of the syllable i.e. Hus qua var na, because in English the letter V does not combine with a previous consonant to form a syllable, so Hus Qvar Na is not a natural pronunciation for English speakers.
Please don't ever rap again bro.. That literally hurt my brain.. for real..
Hahaha I whipped that together in 2 minutes as a joke man. Thanks for watching
@@DualsportDisport Reading my comment from 8months ago made me feel like a pos.
Sorry about that.. I don't drink anymore lol
@@scottyd2262 lmao no worries dude it was all done as a joke anyways
@@DualsportDisportdude I LOVED the rap.
