Hey Guys, I just put on a set of 17" wheels on my 08Fe450. I changed the gearing to a 15-42 and got a chain to go with it. I have a problem though. When I put the chain on at one spot the chain was too long to get even close to tight enough. So I popped one more link out and now the chain is...

Hi All, New to Bergs, but a long time KTM owner........ I've got a brand new FE390 and have read about a lot of Berg owners fitting the Dirt Tricks timing chain tensioner to their bikes to replace the hydraulic tensioner on their bikes. Is this something that needs doing to a 2011 bike or has...

Hi all I was looking on ebay for a new 520 chain and came across a 525 for £29.99 http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?M ... LNLK:MEWAX Has anyone tried using a 525 or will it not work. I'm getting a bit fed up paying £50 for chains that only last me about 30 hours, And yes before anyone says i...

I recently acquired a 99 FE501 thats has a set of supermoto wheels mounted. The chain runs so close to the tire that the chain guard had to be removed, and there is evidence the chain occasionally interferes with the tire. Is there some fix that is missing? Should I simply be looking for a...

Is the rubber in the chain guide supposed to split so you can install it without splitting the chain? The old one that I recently wrecked when my crank split seemed to open at the top but the new one I bought (OEM for a 2003 FE) does not seem to open up? Do you have to split the chain to...

Hi Guys n'Galls Warm, sunny conditions, 2004 FE501 with 17" S/M wheels and road tyres fitted, dropped down a cog or two for a bit of acceleration and 'bang' ... there's my chain hanging all limp-like off the swingarm! (It actually fractured across one of the pins that make-up the split link)...

sorry for the dumb question, but if you seen some of my other posted you know by now that I'm a total newbie. I want to have some kind of Chain repair kit with me while riding. 1.what chain comes on the bike? X-ring? how can I tell? 2.What replacement master link ? I saw all kinds but don't...

What brand/model of chain were they using in 2009?.. I keep mine pretty well maintained and it has pitting on the side plates... I have about 50 hours on the bike that I got this past spring...

The recent destruction of my rear hub also took out my chain guide. I can't find one for my bike at Bike Bandit or Boss Bergs (just '09 +). Where can I get a chain guide for the old girl?

I just put a 12 tooth sprocket on the front. When doing the rear wheel up, I adjusted the chain tension to 10cm as per the book and swing arm sticker, but it seems too tight. If I lean over the bike with all my weight on the seat, the chain is VERY tight??? What do others do? Use the manual or...

Hi Guys, Just went to get a Roadworthy for my FS650 and i failed as i do not have a chain guard. Does any one have one that i could purchase, Would appreciate it. Im in Australia...PM me Peace... John

My cam chain tensioner has been clattering off and on. A couple of months ago I ordered and received the Dirt Tricks cam chain tensioner. Today I noticed the tensioner was again clattering and I was thinking about replacing it. So I was looking at the instructions and noticed nothing special...

Sorry if this has been asked before but while I can see things that suggest an answer I couldn't find anything definite (be gentle with me - only had the bike since last Saturday). Can you fit a normal X-ring chain (e.g. DID 520VX) to the 2010 FE450? I ask because the chain supplied with the...

hey, i'm new to the site, I recently bought two bergs , 98 fc501 94 fe501(basket case) I'm putting the 94 together, should the bolts on the upper sprocket be horizontal to the head when installing the cam chain? I have shop manual for the 98 but not the 94 and there are some differences, Thanks

I'm looking for a timing chain tool for my 06 and 08 FE650

Hi Guys, I've checked the owners dock, my manual and can't seem to find the right details on checking the cam chain adjustment...or what teh hell to do with the adjuster itself Can someone give me an idiotproof version of what to do.. Mucho Thanks Pilot

Can any of you guys tell me exactly what it is? Make, model, and # of links? The bike I just bought has an RK520EXW and it's too wide; it touches the clutch slave cover. The previous owner installed it and never rode it. BTW-Anyone want to buy a new chain? :) Thanks!

Hello all, I'm fairly new to this great site and have been meandering around the forums for a few months without being too active. I'll explain my berger backround a little. I bought an '04 650 a few months back and have been slowly building it up to road registerable condition. A month...
