    I hope it is okay to share upcoming ride opportunities here. If not, please correct me. I'd hate for someone with the chance to ride this one to miss it for lack of information. Do you like single track? How about side hill off camber singletrack. Roller coaster action anyone? This trail...

    hot start confusion

    Okay, I'm pretty new to the Berg, but I have a strange issue... The bike is a 2007 FS550E. Started up with a few kicks, no sweat, after winter storage. Pushed in the choke and she stalled out (no big deal). Could not get the bike fired up again after that. Checked everything out, cleaned and...

    Handle bar mounted hot start.

    Has any one mounted one of these from another brand. It seems they all mount on the throttle side as to keep your hand from twisting the throttle. This could get tricky with E-start button. Dumb question: Does my 08 450 have an auto decomp or just the manual one?

    FE 400 02 hot start and stalling problems

    I have 2 problems which I think relate to the same thing: 1. Really hard to start on hot. Cold: 1-2 kicks. 2. Stalls when slightly opening the throttle from idle. I'm a beginner mechanic not very experienced with bikes so I try to explain everything step by step. FE 400 2002 had 17...

    FE400 ´01 - hot start issues

    Hi! My friend just picked up an FE400 ´01 - and went out with me yesterday, only to spend a fair bit of time trying to get it to fire up. When cold it started fine, but after 20 minutes worth of driving, we stopped to regroup, after that it didn't want to play no more. He's going to go...

    Starting while hot

    Well I had a good ride today. I put 30 street and 30 dirt on the 6 fiddy. I had one problem though early on in the dirt after stalling it. This was my first ride at 1/6th valve adjustment from the 1/4 turn I had it set at before, and my usual little blip of the throttle didn't work. Hot start...

    Back firing when hot starting.

    I'm recently having a bit of trouble with back firing thru exhaust when starting hot. Cold start no worries - leccy or kick. Most of the time it will start after a few backfires but sometimes I have to resort to using my leg. Then it will start off the kicker OK usually first kick. Seems to...

    High idle when hot.

    After my FE 450 has become hot, the idle is a bit high for some seconds after going off the throttle. Is there any adjustment for this problem? Could it be the "throttle position sensor" making this happend?

    04 fe450 (Keihin) stalling when it gets hot

    Hi guys, I've looked throught the doc and other postings, found two similar issue, but neither suggestion fixed my problem... The bike starts great, and runs fine until it gets very hot (slow riding in heavy mud etc.). It then starts to die on me when opening the throttle from idle or...
