new to bergs and the forum ....570

[rookie rider]

hi Folks, rookie rider here. thought it may be the right time to introduce myself as i feel you may hear a bit from me from now on.

just purchased my first Berg, came from a 2 stroke KTM and never actually rode a BERG but heard they were good so i just bought one.

got a 09 570, totally in love with it but can't wait to clean it up a little. bike is actually really really clean but plastics are sun faded and the seat has a tiny tear in it which i driving me crazy.

couple of questions, where is the best place to get bits from (i live in south Australia) and what parts are KTM compatable?
also, can i fit the 2012 shrouds etc as i much prefer the colour scheme of them?

Hi Rookie,

Plastics will fit. All the same.

Contact Mario from Topline. He will make a seat cover to your requirements. He has the template.

Wheels, suspension and most engine parts are Toom.

Toom = KTM

KTM->Katoom->Toom, also Kato, Pumpkin, etc.

I just bought the same bike. Love it! Been working on it a bunch. 12000 miles but looks super clean where it counts.

Welcome!

That they are Anthon. I have only just recently done another 4 day High country trip on the 570. Just brilliant.

Can’t put photos on here for some silly reason.
