jetting a bike is a relentless task, usually done with no guidance or help. owners stop the moment that they feel thay have them running "OK". I met this American that actually wanted to test and give honest feedback. probably only the 20th person in the 580 kits we've sold. I liked him that...

I have found a source for longer 35mm inlet valves. the 2004-2008 bikes don't need them but the old 400s (2001-2003)do! they have to pay £65 per valve ($110) for OEM but I have sourced some at £30 each about the same as the later 35s. regards Taffy

those with a 2001 to 2004 will be inetersted in something that makes your mo-sheen look real purdy! :D :D we take the solenoid from it's mount over the back of the starter motor and place it on the 2004+ bracket in the middle of the frame. this cleans the lines up beautifully! the red...

just recently we've been fitting a hybrid mix of clutch parts and some washers and making 97-02 bikes run with the later 'tubes' clutches from the '02 to '08 models. this is available as a kit at just the cost of the parts from Taffmeisters. I can't recall here (I never let facts get in the...

as manmy of you know, we've had the on going saga of the rogue ignition timing since I started here. Lineaweaver warned us that the ignition could sometimes make a strobe see double etc. as the Doc says, a fresh mark needs marking on the flywheel and tipp-ex'ing. the timing mark on the...

Been converting all 2002s to 08 cam recently and really winding up those ADC springs till they twanged. the great news is that we've done about 4 2001/2s and they all spin over far quicker due to the 08 cam. as i suspected - and it isn't rocket science - I knew that the only phuqin thing I...

First reports are now back from an owner who paid for their coil to not only be repaired but have a new ignition timing graph put into his coil. it was done as a racing mod - as in to go faster but first reports are that the bloody thing is excellent around town and a nice improvement. no...

OK, all you guys out there with the 09 FE570's, has your fuel consumption gotten any better with the bikes now getting some miles clocked up on them, or are they still giving poor returns ??

Picked up a new Motocross Action mag today that has the radical new engine in the new KTM. I would assume that this is the BERG powerplant ???? Could not find anything on the web about the 2010 KTM, what am I missing ???

OK OK, I know this sounds like blasphemy, I bear with me here. I have ridden many bikes over the years, have had a decent sampling of what is available. I have heard many KTM owners rave about how good their bike was. I have to agree that they do make a good bike, but something was always...

Do you think the bergs reliability would be improved if the cylinder head were forced oil feed in addition to just relying on the cam chain's lubrication ? I noticed on the highland engine, which looks similar to the berg, that the head has an oil feed. Tom
