broken

I'm new to the site and i've got a 2001 FC 550. I have a few mechanical questions because it started acting funky. Last weekend i was riding the bike in 5th gear down a gravel road when i felt a sudden loss of power. I pulled the clutch in coasting to a stop when i could hear a loud knock in...

Hi guys...I'm glad I ended up with a no start situation. Seems my exhaust valve spring broke. I don't know when but sometime during the ride. I know what you're thinking...toast. However, I've pulled the head now..no contact was made with the piston. ALL the carbon is still on the piston...

Yesterday we were out and about on the trails. About and hour into the ride my '03 started to make a very loud noise from the top-end. The noise increased/decreased with RPM. Shut the bike off immediately so see if there was an obvious issues, (loose exhaust etc...) Nothing obvious. Did a...

Went riding again today, had a bit of a crappy ride in the wattagans north of Sydney. The terrain was great, but it took us 5 hours 30km, mainly because of unskilled and ill prepared riders. Any how my question to you all is, has anyone broken the bracket off that holds the voltage regulator...

I broke the threads in one of the bolt holes that is used to hold the valve cover in place. It's the hole where the 45mm bolt goes in that also goes through the rocker arm axle. The simples way to fix it would be enlarging it to M8 and retap the thread (I've checked there is plenty of...

I have heard of some photos that were taken of a 650 07 at the condobolin 750 nav rally over the easter w/end 2007, the pictures show a rider no 55 with the tank and seat off and oil all over the bike and somebody added some comments bagging out the new Bergs. To set the record straight he...
