G'day All

Greetings Bergers,
I'm new to bergs and just bought a 2012 570. Comming of a 99 XR600 I feel like I'm a pro on this berg.
It only had 4 hrs and 260km on it, all done on the road and not a scratch on it.
Can you help me with my suspension settings? Ha ha just joking im starting to dial it in but I've got 123 mm rider sag. It has been resprung front and rear by the previous owner for a 110kg rider. Let's just say I'm about 5 kgs over that. I'm loosing weight so I reckon the rider sag will sort itself out. All the other sag measurements are spot on.
Got an acrapovic slip on and have just fitted the map switch and set it to aggressive. Have not been on it since fitting the switch. It came with 13 52 gearing which I've had over 150 kPh but it's revving it's **** off. I've got a 14 to put on the front as I've got a cross country race this weekend that has a couple of 1 km full noise fenceline sections and I want to sit on 160+ without sitting on the limiter.
Last ride I had a new set of S12 michelins on her and basically 2 turns toward firm on most settings and it went great. Those CC forks are like silk. A bit more plying and a Scotts damper and I reckon I'm set.
I'm defiantly not getting the range some of you are as my second last ride I did 73km and noticed the fuel light on when I got back and there was FA left in the tank. I presume the light is set to the 1.8lt level on mine. there was a bit of deep sand but I guess it was too much WOT it is addictive power and torque.
Anyway that's enough crapping on, but I do feel like a kid on Christmas day.
I have Picked up plenty of tips already from you blokes on here, so thanks and I'll speak later.
P.S. Any Perth berg owners wanna go for a ride give me a hoy.

welcome cam. yeah, you probably would find the berg fairly good after the honda. :lol:
not knocking hondas though, loved my old xr400 years ago.

might be worth tracking down this guy who looks like he is perth-based, he's got the most watched berg owner's vid on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSv8L4bCqJM

Thanks Hoosie
I have watched that many times. It was love/hate. Loved watching it but hated not having one. The first time i watched this vid i was sold.
The Alkimos, where he is riding, is just up the road from my house too. Alot of the area and one of the hills he rides is not there anymore as they are building a new subdivision there.
That's where I got the average fuel economy so you can see what I mean about the sand.
I should be out there again on Thursday after flying home from work tomorrow.

G'day cam, also in Perth, I ride on gravel mostly with my bro, we just rebuilt my old girl, he has ordered a ktm 500 2013 for him self, can't wait to go for another ride!!
