Well since I havent been on here for a while I thought that I would re-introduce myself. My name is Dave and I'm from Christchurch all the way down in New Zealand, I have a 97 FC501 which I havent had a chance to ride in the last year because I've been busy doing my masters in mechancal engineering Any way while driving out to a local riding spot a van pulled up beside me and it turned out that both the guys in it had Bergs as well. Got out there pulled the bike out put some gas in it second kick fired into life which was pretty funny cause there was a guy beside me with a KLX400 kicking the **** out of it!. Well after that rant it ran perfectly all afternoon and Ive fallen in love with it again!
