Hi,

I've had my 09 FE450 for about 3 weeks now. Put a lighting package on it and got it street legal. Put in a Dyna-ring and a LHRB. However, there's a couple questions I've not been able to find answers for:

1. How do these suckers breathe? The only air inlet appears to be the tiny slit between the nose of the seat and the fuel tank. Everything else seems too small. Are people cutting back the spoilers to allow more air flow? I can hear the engine sucking air. Sounds like it's through a straw.

2. Does anyone run tachometers? I don't know if these have rev limiters, or what they are set for. No info in the Husaberg manuals. I've heard, "don't lug it" and "it can't be over-revved". ???

thanks,

Tom
 
rev limiter fitted don't know what it is set to though
does not just suck air through said slits,but from the entire seat area so not really restricted

I drilled a bunch of hloes in the flange along the top of each of the shrouds (spoilers), going from smaller to bigger drill bits of course, and that seemed to add to the power (even though the 570 doesn't need any more power :D ) a little probably due to better airflow, you can definately see how much air is being sucked through the holes by the amount of dirt on the filter right by each hole. You will also hear the famous Berg sucking noise a little more once you do this.
 
The Bergs definately have a rev limiter...I've hit mine quite a few times and the bike stumbles so it's easy to tell. No doubt the RPM is up there but I don't worry about it. :lol:
