Hi I have a 99 600 FX basically all rebuilt [bought as a basket case ] anyway she starts no problem when it is cool ,push the button and it usually fires to life first time. The problem is once it gets hot it will fire but as soon as you apply the throttle just a smige it flames out and will...

Hi all I have a FS650e 02 mod and its pritty hard 2 start, i only use the kick(flat battery) The problem is biggest when the engine is cold, especially when the outside temp is below 10-15 degrees celsius. Then i have to kick 10 or maybe 100 times! But if the temp is 20+ outside i "only" need...

Hi guys, it's a dark when rev up the engine in garage. Is it an adjustment of the carb. required? Also when I climb down I hear exhaust rattle ( no throttle ).

Hi My bike start well on kick, but not on electric starter. the starter runs fast!!! but it wont start, it start some time when i lift the throttle a little. the electric starter runs fast because i hawe mounted a 11ah battery under the seat. :?:

I have the cure for you guys that are having a hard time starting your berg. Stay Tuned for more. :D hint : you will have to give up a little to accomplish this.

Bit of bike history first, it’s a 03 Fs650e with an FP Ti pipe and a FCR41 carb with a 175 main jet, Iv had it about a year now and its ran fine, until about a month ago at a track day at Lydd. I noticed that on hard exhilaration out of the hairpins it would stutter slightly then be ok...

:? I recently noticed that my clutch lever is getting really hard to pull. I just pulled the clutch cover off to repair the shifter selection plates again(stuck in second gear). When I pulled the clutch apart I could find nothing wrong. When putting it back together I noticed that the clutch...

Well. Having spent loads of time on this site, as everything that could possibly go wrong with my 'berg' has done.... In the past i've successfully broken my back, snapped my achilles, fractured my elbow and practically removed my kneecaps.... First race of this season (True Grit - Driffield)...

What would be the first things to check if the berg has trouble cold starting? The bike runs fine once started and starts right up off the e button once its ran for a minute. The plug on the bike was black but not fouled. Maybe the bike is running a little rich. The local shop just...

Hello, I have a 2002 FC470 with 800km (25 hours) on it. I alway started her without much trouble and without using the choke. Now that the weather is starting to get colder I suddenly have extreme starting problems when the motor is cold! When kicking without choke it doesn't do...

Hello, I have a 96' FE 501 that I purchased at an auction. After giving it a good inspection I found it needed a new stator. The stator was replaced with a new unit and the 40 mm PHM was re-built. The bike now starts with about 2-3 kicks cold and runs like a rocket after I played with...

I have a 98 Fe400e that has been working well for me for the past 4 years. The last couple times out, it has been very difficult to start and does not idle well, if at all. Once off idle, it seems to be running fairly well. It has been flooding on occassion also. Is this a carb, or a valve...

Sometimes when kicking my 2002fx470 the lever comes right to a stop.Not a backfire,it just locks up. Then it will kick normal for a while.It only does this on it's hard starting days(20-50 kicks).Usually it starts 3-5 kicks.Am I getting to much fuel and the motor is locking up...
