fe400

See my last post for my updates....i've moved on to considering all 2002 models...a FE501, FE400 and an FX470E.... M Looking for a used Enduro with electric start and i've seen a few bikes that have caught my eye. A 96 501FE is one...although i'd really have liked a KTM 400EXC...but all of...

Well beleive it or not I have come across a brand new 2002 FE400 setting in the back of a small dealer. And I think I know why it has been setting there all of this time, the guy wants $6,000.00 for it which seems absolutely rediculous!!! New or not, once someone puts any time on it at all, it...

Hello, My name is Jon Bryson and I am brand new to this board. I have an opportunity to buy a 2002 FE400 from a friend with very low miles, very low. He hasn't ridden it at all for the last several years as he has been in the military. I know the older models were prone to mechanical...

Hi, Could somebody please point me in the right direction? My bike is an 03 FE400 with less than 30hrs use, but has never started easily. I have tried to sort it once and for all by: - Replacing auto decomp bob weight with 04 updated model. - Clean up carburettor meticulosly - New plug -...

any one know if the 470 kit for the 450's will fit the '03 400?

Talking to a fellow local to me who is selling his 2000 FE400 & was wondering what the feedback pro & con is on this year model? The bike seems to be in good shape & has been well maintained & has a good street legal title which is a nice bonus but I want to gather some info before I possibly...

My bike seems to be very rich (or oily, but lets forget that option for now). So I look at the manual and see that there are various sizes according to whether its usa (easy, its not i live in england),' ECE' (whats that?) or 'enduro'. Q1) I imagine the changes are emission driven - but...

I seem to have managed to brake one of the exhaust valves on my berg... I started it just fine, took it for a test drive in the parking lot. It seemed to lack power, just as if it got to rich mixture... I stopped to start fddeling with the mixture, gave it som gas, and then it just died...

Hi I'm based in the south west (cheddar, Bristol, Bath, Swindon) do any of you guys know any websites showing byways in my area. Or do you know of any good routes. Cheers Ian

Found an '02 FE400 locally that's in good shape from the looks of it. I was looking for a Honda XR400R or XR650R, but this one's a fair bit cheaper and I like to have something different from the crowd as well. The Husa name takes me back to my youth along with the old Huskies and the Combat...

I've seen a 2001 FE400 locally which I'm thinking of buying to satisfy my SM curiosity. Is this a good or bad first SM? My riding experience is road bikes, currently 900 Superlight duke and Bimota YB11. I've never really ridden off road, the 400 would be a road bike only initially, although I...

Hey guys, its been a long time since I posted on this site, I always lurk and find the answers I need. I have an 03 400 fe with 115 hours of hard riding, with no problems until now. It started with a tapping at the front top of the head, assumming it was the auto decompression cause it just...

02 FE400 Inlet Valves can i use KTM or some other brand They want $142 per inlet valve from Berg OZ. I think they are 35mm. If someone can help me out with info or parts in OZ that would be good.

Ho hum Some of you might remember my sad tale of woe with my 99 berg elduro 400. I've got the chance of a 450E 04 engine complete... I know it wont drop straight in (I doubt anyway) but has anyone tried anything similar From previous thread, the back fits (hopefully) but the front...

I've looked all over this site, and in my manuals and can't find what the height of the fork should be(as measured from the top of the triple tree). Anyone know? I bought the bike used, and i'm suspecting it was modified, and I want to go to factory settings before I start tweaking...

I tore down the carb the other night, it's bone stock as far as I can tell(195 jet), I coudn't see any visibile wear on the jet or needle(doesn't mean there wasn't any). Wasn't dirty, but I cleaned it up anyway, no blocked passages, etc. I seem to be reading that the floats in the bowl might...

Hi Posted something in mechanical too because I dont know the best category. My Fe400 electric start enduro 99 blew up and has a suspected snapped conrod or something equally catastrophic. Question - wil any other berg engines fit, or only electric start ones? and are there year...

Hi Got the niggly suspected ignition fault fixed with me 99 electric start 400 enduro and just as it was running ok, the bloody thing exploded.... Aaaagh.......... Suspected broken piston and/or conrod, though I s'pose the first goes automatically with the second thinking about it -...

How much tension should there be before assembling the side case. I put it straight on and it would not return. Do I need to make one revolution clockwise before assembly? Thanks, John
