Hey all
Pic of my 08 fe550 about to be shipped to Halifax Canada.
Looking forward to studding the tires for trail rides for the remainder
of winter.
Cheers

Your '08 550e looks great. Was the head and tail light included or did it cost extra?
 
Oh man, you're gonna kill yourself with that 550. Especially after coming from that DRZ.

Dealer included head and tail light.
I've orderd in the factory parts to complete dual sport.
 
Welcome to the berg brotherhood stuberg. Enjoy your new bike when it eventually arrives, I know the feeling. One bit of advice I will give you is ( after going for a good trash ) when you've got some spare time & want to start pulling it apart :lol: is pull the wheels off & re-pack the bearings. You'll spin out just how little grease is in there. If you get keen, do your steering head bearing too. Mine were seized on my FE550 at 20 hrs 8O .

Apart from that change your oil often & enjoy.

Cheers,

Wal

Nah, treat it with respect tho, i came off a KX 125 onto a FE 550, and it wasnt such a big transition, except on hillclimbs, where it definately let me know it was willing to go faster and more vert than i expected.

Stu is a buddy in our club here in Halifax. I was just yanking his chain.
To be honest, I'm jealous as hell, that's all.
I know he's going to love this bike as much if not more than I loved mine.

Great looking bike. Curious, any reason other than $$ why you opted not to get an 09 ??

Just Money, My original thought was to trade my DRZ for a demo 04 Fe450.
But then found the 08 Fe550 for 35% off list, 17 hours, refurbed, had to have it.

cheers
Stewart.
