So, I want to get everything ready on my Berg for next season. And I have a few questions.
I got my valves checked last year because of the hard starts and noise I was getting. The valves were all perfect but they replaced some spring they said was the cause of the noise. However, the noise...
A couple of videos of a latest rides.
This is a short one on my KTM, I tried adding music for the first time, but I couldn't get it to fade.

hey guys, i just got my bike a couple weeks ago and it's been raining a lot here so i haven't got much ride time in. the guy i got it from raced it so he gave me a bin of bits and goodies with it including a second set of plastics so i'm wondering what you guys think is better.
Option A - black...
First off love the forum. Big thanks to all the regular contributors.
I just got my hands on a 2007 FS550E with 550km and taken the step over to the dark side. I will be using the bike primarily to commute 6km to work daily during the summer. It may see a couple track days but I have an R6 for...
The first and most agreed upon by the posts I've seen here is the FMF 4.1. Absolutely a must for the new 570.
Runs like a different machine, smoother, cooler and more compact.
The second and more discretionary but I still think very important is the Trail Tech HID headlite.
Where I live...
hi i am picking up a 08 fe 650 with about 30 hours on it on friday. hopefully i am making a good choice haha. just wondering how often you guys are checking valves and doing oil changes? aswell it would be a US model how hard is it to get blinkers going for a dual sport setup?

Ok well I have been looking around a lot trying to find some aftermarket parts for my 94 FC600, but I cant seem to find much of any thing. The main things i am looking for are a Fork damper/stabilizer, a Larger tanks, and a Skid plate. Now the skid plate I can fabricate, but the other stuff not...
Hi, just sharing a couple of my most recent videos with anyone interested.
some of this could be fit into a tidy near 100km loop for a force ride, this hills wont bother any of you, the rocks might.
Azza.

Just thought i would share with you a couple of mod's i have done to my bike that have helped me.
I was fed up with mud clogging up around the front sprocket, So cut away the plastic cover and made a nice Aluminum guide in case the chain ever snapped.
Also i was fed up with mud getting clogged...
I have a 2006 fe450 I have been running 5w-50 Mobile1 synthetic and Lucas Oil additive at a 80% mobile 20% Lucas. Last oil change I was at my fathers shop and my brother in law had borrowed my oil for his Rino. Long story short I did not realize this until I drained the oil.
To get her home...
I do not have a scanner and a client of mine (Wilkey) would like me to put some scans of articles in the new version of the site.
They would be in last month's Dirt Rider (the Web sites shootout) and MXA.
PM me and I'll let you know which pages.
Thank you very much in advance!
I have about eight hours on my rebuilt fc600( scary fast by the way 8O) and I'm doing my first valve adjustment. I used the 1/8 turnout method, locked the nut, double checked w/ .004 feeler. The gap seems perfect, slight drag. My first question: Is it normal that with it adjusted as said that...
I have a 97 fe501e and I have discovered a couple of slightly disturbing problems. I recently changed the oil and found metal in the filter. Also there is oil leaking into the stator area.
The metal in the filter is really of the utmost concern to me, however the bike seems to shift fine...
