2014 Husaberg FE501 Torque Specs: Final Big-Bore Enduro Reference
Shop parts for a 2014 Husaberg FE501 Dirt Bike.
The 2014 Husaberg FE501 is the final production year of Husaberg's big-bore enduro machine—a 510cc single-cylinder four-stroke that delivers exceptional torque and enduro-ready performance in its last iteration before the brand's discontinuation. The 2014 model is mechanically consistent with the 2013 FE501, sharing all major torque specifications. Maintaining this final-year machine correctly preserves both its competitive capability and collector value.
Engine Torque Reference
The 2014 FE501's engine specifications are unchanged from 2013. Any top-end service should include inspection of head bolt condition—replace any bolts that show thread damage or stretch marks, as re-torquing degraded hardware does not restore its clamping capability.
| Fastener | Torque (ft-lb) | Torque (Nm) |
|---|---|---|
| Spark plug | 15–18 | 20–25 |
| Oil drain bolt | 18–22 | 24–30 |
| Cylinder head bolts (8mm) | 18–22 | 24–30 |
| Cylinder head bolts (10mm) | 36–40 | 49–54 |
| Cylinder base nuts | 22–26 | 30–35 |
| Flywheel nut | 54–61 | 73–83 |
| Clutch hub nut | 54–61 | 73–83 |
Suspension & Chassis
The 2014 FE501 carries the same chassis and suspension hardware specifications as the 2013 model. Swingarm and linkage pivot service is the highest-priority chassis maintenance item on a big-bore enduro machine that sees competitive use—the high drive forces from a 510cc single accelerate pivot wear more rapidly than smaller displacement machines.
| 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, Drivetrain & Brakes
Thread locker on disc bolts and sprocket fasteners, combined with a 1/2-inch drive wrench for rear axle torque, are the essential practices for correct wheel-end assembly on the final FE501. Verify all wheel hardware after every ride event before the next use.
| 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 |
