Not offended in the least guys! And you're right, balance and finesse is what it's about for me but I still have a bit of brawn :wink: . I'm probably too old for ya'll anyhow. I get the Berg delivered tomorrow and I'm so excited...sorry to hijack this thread!

I changed the stock springs front and rear on my 08 berg for the next spring rate down
80/250 rear 4.2N/mm front on the advice of a dealer.To me the stock springs seemed
way to hard for my wieght (160lbs without riding gear) bike feels much better over rocks
etc and I haven't found them to soft when you wind up the pace.Husaberg recomend
35mm +/- 2mm static sag and 95-105mm riding sag and the comp adjustment standard
rebound adjustment reduced by a few clicks for the softer springs.Hpoe this helps

15/48 on my 08 550 is good for 171 km/hr and gets there fast, great for dusting jap MXers and is still tractable enough for single trail, my friend runs 16/40 on his 08 650 and it does over 190 km/hr. ( no gps just a few terrified glances at the speedo. ) Also the axleblocks can be flipped to accomodate different gearing combos without adding / removing chain links, makes it easy to find the right gearing specially if you have two wheels.

Colleen,
I am 45. Surely you are not older than me, still riding a Berg !
well I am older than you :bounce: (50) and I guess I'm going through a middle age dirt bike crisis so I got the Berg. I am going to a bit lighter spring over the 72-250 that was on it when the bike was a GNCC racer. The gearing is at 14/48 and works great on the tight indoor MX track using 2 & 3rd gears. After my 2nd time riding it I'm just starting to get some nice air on it and coming to the end of the table tops woooooo! I set the suspension up firmer than the stock settings but lighter than it's GNCC race settings and really love how it feels.
