Hi everybody i just bougt my first Berg today.

It is a 2001 470 FC with 2005 550 Engine.

I am wondering if i can fit a light loom on it but it has a E-start and a kick but battery is dead so i have tou buy a new battery after easter season.

Does anyone knew if it is a problem to fit a lights on this bike.

Greetings from Iceland

Falkenberg :twisted:
 
welcome falkenberg to UHE!!!!

firstly, we have many, many icelandic members here and they all speak better english than fryguy (he's a canadian!!!!) so can you congratulate the english teacher in your school?

you probably bought the bike off a member anyway!

the battery you must get is called a YTZ7S. it is a 'Gel-Cel' battery and is more powerful than the original. look up the doc for info on this.

you can even pick up a used wiring loom from ebay but eitherr way yes you can have full lights with effort.

there are modifications you may want to carry out to the starter as well to update it. again, it's in the doc. always start the bike with the kicker from could even though it can electric start. the sprague bearing lasts around 40 starts and then starts to slip.

look to

upgrade the tensioner blade
modify the tensioner
go to a more powerful yet at the sssame time less viscious cam
upgrade to 'dual springs'
check you have the steel camwheel
check the wear on the camchain
check the follower bearings for condition and also the rocker shafts and rocker bushes. if the shaft is worn then just replace this. if the bushes in the rockers are gone then you need new rockers and these were upgraded in '03 to run 7.8mm pins.
the decomp lobe may be worn and if so will need one from a later model.

the bottom end is generally good but they had a habit of sticking in gear.

the stato, which runs inside the flywheel fails in 6-months or up to 2-years but it will fail! so we send them to 'sparks' in spain who does a superb repair!

this will all make sense once you read through the doc.

the carb can be a pig on them if you still have the dell orto. the atomiser wears out and the needle with it. there is a chance that a jet is missing inside as well!

When you listen to all these problems or opportunities depending on your outlook, it makes me wonder why people buy these bikes.....then when I get on mine, all is revealed and I understand. It's the grin under the full face helmet when roaring along the road on what feels like a light push bike but with amazing power and torque. I guess it's also the admiring glances from other bikers, not at me, but the bike
 
you're right celtic.

the battery is still relevant. the starter is as well.

upgrade the tensioner blade DONE
modify the tensioner DONE
go to a more powerful yet at the same time less viscious cam DO THIS WITH THE DUAL SPRINGS
upgrade to 'dual springs' RELEVANT
check you have the steel camwheel DONE
check the wear on the camchain GO TO AN IWIS BUT NOW ALL ARE A.O.K
check the follower bearings for condition and also the rocker shafts and rocker bushes. if the shaft is worn then just replace this. if the bushes in the rockers are gone then you need new rockers and these were upgraded in '03 to run 7.8mm pins. UPGRADED AND NO LONGER A PROBLEM.
the decomp lobe may be worn and if so will need one from a later model. DONE

the bottom end is generally good but they had a habit of sticking in gear. DONE

the stato, which runs inside the flywheel fails in 6-months or up to 2-years but it will fail! so we send them to 'sparks' in spain who does a superb repair! YOU'LL HAVE THE LATER KOKUSAN IGNITION SO OK

regards - again!!!!

Ok Thank you for info but

Thank you for your info but i also have another engine with this bike and it is with number on it.

Number is 4732107

This Engine looks good to see and has oil on it and when i turned over with kick starter it works and is not so easy job but it runs smooth over and seems to have no problems and are not stuck.

I think this is Orginal engine from this bike because of first 3 letters in number 473 wich can be the 470 cc or am i wrong
