fs650

anyone else experience really bad head shake on their berg motards? it's usually around top of 5th and all through 6th gear. i've owned a few supermoto bikes, and ridden a ton of em, and not a one has had head shake problems. i've tried adjusting where i'm sitting, adjusting the suspension a...

I've been trying to decide which supermotard to get and have finally decided another Berg would be best over an Aprilia SXV550. This way I always have spares :wink: I would like to get an FS though I've seen some good FE's around. The two FS's that I'm thinking about are a 2005 and a 2006...

I'm looking at a STM from motostrano. Crazy expensive at $1100. Other options besides training my clutch fingers? Any advise or experience is appreciated. I'm new to sumo and want to learn to back it in. Regarding wheelies, will a slipper not allow me to roll off and bring it down asap...

Im after a bit of advice on sag settings for my 03 FS650e. I hadnt touched the suspension since i bought it, and it has always suffered from a bit of headshake at around 80 ish, but since fitting new tyres it has got rediculous, i had a big moment last night which made me think i should do...

What a time to kick the bucket, just as the weather is warming up. Problem: I was out for a spirited ride on saturday, after a really enjoyable spell on the twisties and losing two mates on sportsbikes I slowed to take in the scenery and let them catch up. I noticed the engine on the...

Does anyone know where I could download a workshop manual for a 08 FS650e? My dealer will need to order one in for me costing many $$ and 2-3 weeks..... :roll: . I have one for a 05/06 but have had no luck finding one for a 08. How similar to the earlier bikes is the 08? Can I just use the...

Took possession of the new 08 FS650 nearly 6 weeks ago now & have had a few problems with the suspension setup as stock. I've got 300kms on it now & have backed both the front & rear compression clickers nearly fully out & still feels like I'm riding a brick. I've done the static & rider sag so...

Hello, Informed opinions would be appreciated and explanations. I am contemplating taking a trip at the worst time of the year, mid December, starting in the north west and doing the whole coast down to the boarder with off shoots to interesting places. From there I plan on working my way...

I am in the US of A. I know that Suter and the Husaberg factory slippers have been recommended. Has anyone used STM? Any pros/cons? Suter in the US is distributed by Hinson and they don't bring in their Husaberg slipper into the US(darn it!). Anything else I should know about slippers, as...

Been talking to Taffy about this problem - can't understand where the thrust/shear required to break this came from....... No galling on the end feed at in the LH case. No dramatic failure of main brg. I am seeing messages about loose nut and this is a possibility but the gear and key are...

Some low lifes stole my lovely 04 FS650 last night from my garage in Stokenchurch near High Wycombe in Bucks. The bike is fairly rare any way being a Force Edition but it has the following distinctive features. Black Pastics Yellow rad guards Blue frame Black Rims Grays Racing Graffix...

hi, ive just got a fs650 e (2006) and just reading through the service manual and it states that i should check the valve clearance every 15 hours of use, along with the oil and filter change. Is this realy necisery and if so do you recomend i take it to a dealer to get done or do it myself ...

I have seen figures of 120mm for the fork air gap and wondered if it will be the same for a SM application? I have to change the burst fork seals this weekend. Also, is 5wt fork oil correct.
