issue

Hi all when engaging 1st and slipping the clutch to set off, it's not smooth. It's like the initial bite of the clutch is a grab which lurches you forward. Any ideas?

Hey guys - 2005 FE 550 runs great but starter just stopped working during a ride - also, headlight no longer turns on with bike off. With the bike running, the headlight pulsates. I just installed a new Shorai battery, which comes charged - no change in symptoms. Main fuse is ok. Seems like...

Hey ladies and gents Hoping that someone can help me out with an issue on my bike First up, apologies for the rough (and epically long) post; I'm writing this from a transit lounge on my phone, waiting for a plane... I've spent plenty of time reading other posts on the forum but...

My 08 fe 550 has been making nois and progressively into a knock when I went to tighten the cam chain tensioner, i saw it was at the end of its adjustment. So a mechanic buddy of mine suggested welding a small block at the end of the tensioner to extend its reach. the knock continues. took...

After 2 failed factory fuel pumps, I now have a CA fuel pump and haven't had issues with it yet. My 2010 570 stopped the other day and would not start. Fuel pump is running. Pulling off the fuel line right before the injector and it shoots gas out about a foot. Cleaned the injector and looking...

If I lay my bike over /flip my bike and stall the engine, it is impossible to start. What I've found is fuel leaks into the inlet elbow prior to the carby, it does not need much to prevent starting. So I have to remove seat, air filter and soak up fuel with a rag then reassemble. It generally...

I am thinking about buying this bike, but, while it is now in CA it is registered in AZ. So far, the owner hasn't been able to find the label which would state the CA endorsement, if it is a 50-State bike. Without it, CA registration becomes a problem. Does anyone know how likely it is...

I recently picked up a 95 FE600.. It ran day one, day 2 it started acting as if it had a fouled plug, which is blackish but not wet. It has electric start but has become very hard to start and almost impossible to kick start. I am thinking the Stator is failing, ohm reading BK/RD = 1630 BK/GR I...

Recently, I purchased a 2011 FE570 with only 120 miles on it. I've owned several KTM's but this is my first fuel injected bike. The few times I've started the bike I've always been able to get it started but not without some concern. It seems to take a fair amount of cranking to fire and then...

Hi, I bought a 2010 husaberg FE390 with all the street legal fixings. Fabulous Bike! But the electrics are squirrely... The headlights, tail and brake light work, but when depressing the LED indicators, the LED Comes on, then promptly blows the 10 amp fuse and all lighting electrics go...

Hey guys, just got my 650 engine back together yesterday and it was running like a champ, was a hot day and the fan was running alot of the time, I stopped one time during the middle of the ride and from then on I had lost the battery, the bike still kickstarted fine and all the electricals work...

I just replaced my head gasket and timing chain on my 2005 FE650. After adjusting the valves, I left the inspection covers off while I cranked it to make sure enough oil is getting to the head. I did not see much oil. On a Japanese bike, oil would be spraying out. I think this bike is oiled...

I have an FE570 which i believe is a 2009. I bought it with very low hours already equipped with a Timbersled snowbike kit installed. I rode it for 1 1/2 seasons until last year at the end, the one time I came home I didnt unload it into garage, it rained all night. The next morning i went to...

Hi Guys, Been a while.... hope all the Berg brothers are doing well ! Wondering if anyone can tell me who the Australian Berg importer is... i know they are in Western Australia. Embarrasingly, I have just had my forks fully serviced after so many years (leading up to 2014 SA Reliability...

OK here is the first big hurdle for the 1989-2003s we can get over most things but this one is a killer.... there are no more cam follower bearings available fort these models. I've run out of CFBs already. we need a new supplier and fast! if any of you can help by getting inside the...

Hi guys. I'm kinda desperat. Today my bike died when i stopped at the gas station ( i full fueltank.) When i tried start it did backfire and was hard to start. I put the bike in 1st gear and rolled it back and forth, and after a while running the starter it finally startet. Later i got simular...

I'm assuming i need a new drive shaft seal on my FE450 ?

We were having trouble starting our newest addition to the team - a mint 2001 FX650 We test for spark and it is strong and at proper timing, however you have to REALLY spin the motor quick to get it to spark! With no spark plug in hole, lay plug on engine and crank by hand - consistant...

I just had a major rebuild done on my bike and after assembly, it starts and runs fine with the idle speed adjustment screw pulled out, but immediately dies when it is pushed in. Before the blow up, the bike started flawlessly every time with no need to pull out the screw. I can get the bike...

Hi guys First post and first issue with my berg. I cannot select neutral. If I come to a stop and try and engage neutral it wont go in no matter how hard I try. However when moving forward and I dip the clutch I can select it!!! (easily) Any ideas? cheers Dave
