hello all, new aussie member

hey
Just bought my 1st trail bike yesterday
So im a complete newbie (on d bike n on forums)

Im sydney based but heading up to north QLD at the end of the year on holidays, so the plan is to get some real use on the bike up there. (driving up not riding)

hopefully can get some usefull tips from you guys, so i dont put the Berg name 2 Shame

Sweet ill check it out thanks

Its a FE 650 '04
Hopefully get a chance to give it a run today (as i dont count riding it up the driveway yesterday as a run, lol)

sweet tanks Tourist
Any tips on setting up the suspension (or i guess there r threads on here 2) im 95kg and i will be riding with the gf on the back 47KG some of the time (alot when on holidays)
rear suspension is set very lose nut is only 1cm from the top of the thread, that must of been y it was a little loss at 80km/h with us both on (road)

the bike is really tidy (look like new actually) 7'000km on it.
runs great, and smooth as far as i can tell. (not that i have opened it up yet).I will put a pic up soon (& work out how 2 do it)

Lats bike was a Honda H100 100cc of pure 2 stroke grunt LOL (with a top speed of 80km/h), commuted to work afew times on it when i had my L's.

so im still pretty fresh to bikes and have always been a car boy.(still am) Pretty handy in car mechanics so hoping that will convert to bikes 2.

Few things i need to do on the berg are
- Get a work shop manual for it (done THANKS)
- put a tacho on it
- have a kill switch or ignition switch of some discription (or a big arse lock) just incase i do take it to the shops
- pegs 4 d GF

oh yeah thanks Bushmechanic
thats a good read

OMG Thank you, that is fantastic.
I have some light reading to do huh

here she is (if the attachment worked )

OMG no Berglsmerg that would make her dirty lol

yeah 4 a 10yr old bike its supa tidy, no marks on the plastics on anything.
we actually just went to have a look at it rather than buy a bike cause all we wanted was a bigger than 250cc bike that can do some offroad stuff. KTM was high on the list thats when i found bergs (n this site) and thought hey y not.
after seeing it it was so tidy, 2days later im am the new owner
