2000 Husaberg FE400 Torque Specs: Enduro Fastener Reference
Shop parts for a 2000 Husaberg FE400 Dirt Bike.
The 2000 Husaberg FE400 is a capable enduro machine from Husaberg's turn-of-the-millennium lineup, powered by a 400cc single-cylinder four-stroke with the brand's signature forward-inclined cylinder configuration. In 2000, the FE series represented Husaberg's core enduro identity, built for long-day cross-country events where mechanical reliability matters as much as outright speed. These torque specifications cover the 2000 FE400's complete fastener range.
Engine Torque Reference
The FE400's 400cc displacement produces substantial combustion loads that place high demand on head bolt clamping force. Over the life of this machine, head gasket replacement may be needed—proper torque sequence and retorquing after the first heat cycle are critical steps in any head gasket service.
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Spark plug | 18–22 | 24–30 |
| Oil drain bolt | 18–22 | 24–30 |
| Cylinder head bolts (10mm) | 33–37 | 45–50 |
| Cylinder base nuts | 22–26 | 30–35 |
| Flywheel nut | 54–61 | 73–83 |
| Clutch hub nut | 54–61 | 73–83 |
Chassis, Suspension & Steering
Early-2000s Husaberg chassis hardware is robust but benefits from annual service. Suspension linkage pivot bearings should be inspected and greased each season, and all pivot fasteners retorqued after any pivot service. Fork clamp torque is especially important after any fork seal replacement or height adjustment.
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Fork clamp bolts — upper triple clamp | 11–15 | 15–20 |
| Fork clamp bolts — lower triple clamp | 15–19 | 20–26 |
| Handlebar clamp bolts | 18–22 | 24–30 |
| Swingarm pivot bolt | 54–61 | 73–83 |
| Rear shock upper mount | 29–36 | 39–49 |
| Rear shock lower mount | 29–36 | 39–49 |
| Shock linkage bolts | 29–36 | 39–49 |
Wheels, Brakes & Drivetrain
The 2000 FE400's drivetrain and brake hardware should be inspected carefully on any example with significant age or mileage. Corrosion on disc bolts and sprocket fasteners can prevent accurate torque readings—clean or replace corroded hardware before reassembly, then apply medium thread locker and torque to spec.
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Front axle nut | 36–43 | 49–58 |
| Rear axle nut | 54–61 | 73–83 |
| Rear sprocket bolts | 22–29 | 30–39 |
| Chain adjuster lock nuts | 18–22 | 24–30 |
| Front caliper mounting bolts | 18–22 | 24–30 |
| Front brake disc bolts | 14–17 | 19–23 |
| Rear caliper mounting bolts | 18–22 | 24–30 |
| Rear brake disc bolts | 14–17 | 19–23 |
Service Notes
The 2000 FE400 represents early Husaberg engineering at its competitive peak. A 3/8-inch drive click-type wrench covers all fasteners, with a 1/2-inch drive recommended for flywheel and rear axle torque. Anti-seize on the spark plug and thread locker on brake disc bolts and sprocket hardware are the most important thread prep steps on this machine.
