I started up my FE450 and rode for about a minute then stalled, bike is well maintained and always runs flawlessly. I pulled the fuel line off at the filter and it flows fuel when I crank it (not sure how much pressure its supposed to have but seems ok) It fires right up with a shot of starting...

I bought recently this FE450 2004 . Very hard to start when hot ,also in cold condition seems much compression. i opened the camshaft cover for inspection. I found the play of tappets for exhaust over 1 mm play ...( yes 1 mm, right ) , The intake tappets space were around the recomandation...

Hey fellow enthusiasts! I just purchased a 2010 FE 570 with only 80 hours. My name is Tony and I'm from Spokane Washington. If anyone is in my area and wants to ride let me know! I have a few issues and was wondering if anybody could chime in. Here's my short list: First 5 minute ride she...

Hi all, Ok new to the scene of the Berg world. Bought a FE 2002 which originally was a 400, but now has a 550 engine fitted. Takes a knack to start on the kick start but does start. Starter motor is weak as toffee and wont start it, bought a upgrade battery still the same, next to upgrade...

Bike is new to me and no other Bergs around to listen to. How does it sound? I adjusted the valves last week- should have took audio beforehand. Now I’m not confident in my work. Bike has 50hrs. Work done at 70F. Exhaust valves were in spec on the loose side. One intake was tight, one loose. I...

So is it the Motion Pro 05-0286 that is a few inches longer than the stock cables on my 08' fe450 ? I did a bar riser of 1inch & dont like how tight it is nor do I wish to run them behind the tripples. Brand Motion Pro Model 05-0286 Item Weight 11.2 ounces Product Dimensions 11.5 x 0.3 x 0.3...

There's an FS650e in good condition near me and I'd love to get it, however my father would like it to be a bit less powerful, I didn't take it on to the road in the test ride, however he did and said it wanted to come up in nearly every gear(it had a rather large back sprocket). What kind of...

So I have purchased a drop valve 650 (07) engine for my 08 FE 550. This engine needs a rod, piston, liner, & valves at the minumin. Im thinking Corillo rod, high compression pistion , (so long as it can be run on 92 fuel ) & upgraded valves/guides/seals to start. Im sure there wil be other bits...

Hello - New to forum. I have lead on an '11 390 FE. I really like it, but have some apprehension because bikes are no longer made. Any issues or concerns that you folks know of? Are most parts still available? Thanks.

New member there, just sold my Crf250x and want to get a thumper as I think it will fit my riding style more. Any known problems? As I searched online I found that it's a bit harder to find replacements and other mods like ktm do, at least in my country. At the moment I see the te300 as a...

Greetings berg-ers! I'm really needing your experienced advice. There are literally NO fe570 bikes for sale here in NZ (my mate has one 2010 only), but there ARE fe450 and one in particular at a decent price. So what's the difference for mostly ADV riding with a bit of tar seal in between...

Hello internet. New guy here looking for help. I'm 45 and in good shape. Rode enduro (XR250Rs) in my youth and switched to street and have been riding VFRs ever since. Looking to get back into dirt since my 6 year old is about that age to teach to ride. I tripped over a 2000 FE400E I saw for...

Hello there, I recently bought a new DJH tensioner for my FS570, before fitting it i decided to called my dealer mechanic and he told me to not remove the factory tensioner without the engine being at TDC or the chain could jump causing the cam timing to go out. I questioned him on this and...

My original plan was to look for a cheap 05+ FS650 550 to fix up and enjoy. Well that didn't work out. Just even finding a Berg seems to be trouble-sum enough. So I changed my criteria. I started considering 70 degree bergs aswell being they are allot easier to find and include EFI. But...

Hi All, Just joined and from South Wales in the Uk ;) I am looking into getting a 2014 FE preferably 450 but maybe 501 (dependant on what comes along first) I have a few questions that I am hoping you can help on: 1. Firstly as I am only 5'8 I will definitely need to lower the bike...

Hello everyone, ive read the other threads and want to be sure i make a sound purchase. Im looking for a track weapon for sumo and occasionally trail ride...not a championship money pit. Would be willing to redo fe suspension for 50 sumo 50 dirt or just focused on either and swap only wheels...
