Oh my goodness what a fantastic day today at Elkins Flat one of my treasured local Sierra Nevada woods riding areas. it rained on friday and today conditions were moist chocolate cake every where. The FE450e is so light. Fast, smooth and nimble. I like the WR tranny it's very nice, no...

Hi, has somebody some experience with a big gun exhaust???? I have a 00´ 600 Berg and thinking about buying a new exhaust system?? Is there a alternative to a big gun??? How is the big gun....quality, fit, noise, performance.....and so on??? thanks

I picked up a Big Gun exhaust system that came off a 2000 501 and was thinking of putting it on my 99 FE400. How would it improve the performance? I also will have to fabricate it from the 2 into 1 collector to make it fit right and move the mounting brackets. While I fabricate this, do I need...

ARGGGGHHHH! I was tuning on the old carb this morning trying to get it starting easier and took it for a blast down the dirt road here by the house. I was in 6th gear and it started making this clunking noise. I started yelling some choice words and shut it down and pushed back to the house. I...
