Shout out Ron for talking SR into taking it on the road and across the street.. That thing is worthy of it..

Always loved the big bore thumpers, when it came to 4 stroke enduros. You can run errands around town, ride it to the track, race it, and ride it home. That is one sick and impressively equipped bike. Love it's exhaust note. No doubt in my mind that she hauls ass!

Ken just broke the Doug Domokos wheelie record

Just bought a 2021 701. Such sweet machines.

Great feeling frame on these bikes. I have a 2023 te300 2 stroke, and i'm pretty sure they are almost identical frames and geometry.

Great fun to ride, and they feel very nimble. Stay safe everyone

Haha love it I'm about to ride my 2019 KTM 500 FMF tuned

I have 6, 000 miles 200 hours on my 501 just basic maintenance no problems. Should probably take a peak at valves…or not

Not much you can’t tackle with a 501 ultimate machine 💪

I have the TE300 2 stroke version of this machine and I love it. Now I kind off want a 501 LOL

Listening to the sound of this bike is better than music .

Hi,

I'm seeking advice on the latest dual sport and rally bikes for 2024, particularly the GasGas, Husqvarna, and KTM 500 cc models. While they appear quite similar, I want to understand which one stands out in terms of performance and is best suited for various riding conditions.

I’m in the market for a year-round bike that can handle a range of climates—sand, rain, snow, and both cold and warm weather—while still delivering an exhilarating ride.

I’ve heard that oil changes are recommended every ten hours of use, but I came across a user who rode 7, 000 miles and only changed the oil 12 to 15 times. Is that typical? 

Additionally, the salesperson mentioned that regular maintenance needs to be considered with the 501 vs the 701 by Husqvarna. But the 501 felt a lot cooler when I saw both in the store now..

I’m curious about your experiences with the Husqvarna FE 501S specifically. Given its maintenance requirements, do you think it’s worth it? 

Are there other regular maintenance tasks that I should be aware of except the interval to change oil?

I’d love to hear about your experiences with bike maintenance while out on the road. 

How do you handle maintenance during inclement weather like snowfall and rain, and one sees that is time for an oil change, is it doable in an easy way, ...is pitch dark and snow in Sweden?

But I love to get the right bike, not an over-practical tractor or truck...
 
Thank you for any insights you can share! This type of bike looks like so much fun!

It also has an upgraded headlight. The stock ones are a joke.

Sounds naughty even though I'm 2 stroke till I die

A properly opened up 2021 to 2023 FE501 is arguably the best big bore dirt bike model series ever. They are the lightest and lowest c.o.g. too. One needs a G2 throttle tamer for best control tho.

Awesome dirt bike thank you Ken for the info thank you Ronnie New England Motorcycle Museum Kaplan Cycles number one God Bless America🇺🇲

[paulbrinston]

Keep the bike Ken! Only on this earth once 🚀🚀🚀

[davelambardo]

These bikes are sooo easy to ride very fast or very slow. They are single track eating works of art.

Beautiful machine! It inspires me to get my XR500R running

[patrickstenkilsson]

That's the offroad version fe501 that's street legal in his state.my brother bought same year bike fe 501s in California where we live and they're all chocked up with smog bs so you have to get a pipe and vortex ignition or similar to get them to run right and spend 1500 on a brand new bike to get the power back to how it should be be, that beast is already uncorked and ready to rip. California laws suck😢
