Hello to you all, this is my first post, as I waited for today. I'm clockwatching, tonight I pick up my FE650, it's on a 04 plate, has 17" excel rims on talon hubs and a full akropovic race system fitted. It needs a bit of tlc here and there but the engine is sweet, and christ! Dont these things go!!! I cant wait....... I will post pics as soon as, and no doubt will be on here picking your brains. My other bike is a CCM FT35s.

Re: Collecting my 'berg this afternoon

Getting my Berg soon and I cant wait to go thru it. Oldie but I hope goodie. 1997 FX501E. Many obstacles beforeI put it on the road. 1 title; 2 inspection; in Texas yet; 3 sorting it out; 4 starting etc. Other scoots---1999 BMW R1900S---1979 Husky Auto NR. Hoping I can use some of youalls expertise.
 
Got it home, took it for a blast round the country lanes, wow. It highlighted a few issues, no preload on rear, fork seals ( I'll be in touch Taffy ) suspension settings all to ****. It has already eaten a pair of £300 'crosser boots, ripped the toe off, due to bad technique on the kickstarter. But I love it. Gonna take some pics this weekend.

Eeek! :shock:

Still, so long as it was only the toe on your nice boot and not the one on your foot...
 
Got her home . Starts great every time. I think that a previous owner put in a aftermarket starter. I have been studying the internet for all the info on Husabergs. It took me about 50 hours of intense study to learn all about My new/used BMW R1100S. The owners doc was a big help even though it is specialized on 2001 and up. I will have to go all thru the bike just to find the things that have allready been fixed. I have already put about 30 hours into just the study of the Berg. Thanks for the welcome. Im still pumped!
 
I know what you mean, I keep studying the owners and workshop manuals, did an oil change last night, glad I did, 'cause the oil in it was as black as hell. Cleaned the air filter as well. Tonight I'll return the suspension settings to stock as a starting point and next week it's having the fork seals done and MOT.
