kick

Hi there, I recently bought a Berg 350 of 1996 vintage. I have replaced the clutch/Basket/Drum/Plates which now makes the clutch work great, however on reassembly I have done something to the kick start, the lever does not spring back to its upright position. I dont have a work shop manual so...

Was draining rad coolant to change it today and at first thought this bolt/plug by kick start lever (see pic) was the air bleed screw...nope...screwed it back in but not sure how far. Found proper bleed screw on R side below the decomp cable and finished up. Any ideas? I went through the fiche...

Hi, i'm having problem with my FE501 2001, the kickstarter gear is touching the engine case, does anyone know what to do ? is this problem common? Br Martin http://forum.soe.se/attachment.php?attachmentid=47689&d=1274218964

I recently bought a 2005 FS650C with low hours. The bike started to make some abnormal sound from the transfer case area. I decided to investigate the noise. I took the left side clutch covers off and found the nut on the primary gear was loose. I put some locktight on the threads and tighten it...

I recently grenaded a roller in my top-end and had to do a rebuild. I bought a 2001 assembly from another 'berger and pulled the internals out to put in my 98. Seems to have worked like a charm. I JB welded the hole in the top of the 98 cover and haven't seen any leakage. Problem 1: On...

04 FE 650 My kick-starter got away from me the last time that I removed the side cover. Now I am trying to get it all put back together. And I have a couple of questions. 1, Do I need to preload the main kick-starter spring? If so how many loops or how much preloading? 2, Indexing the...

hi, My bike has just had a few parts installed by a mechanic including, auto decomp, sledge mod, stronger starter and few other small bits but now it wont start on the kick start. Mechanic that fitted the parts doesnt want to help now! It starts on the elctric start but it genrally has to...

I know it's not UHE protocol but a mate desperately needs a kick start for a 1989 KTM 350mx. Plus a left hand engine side casing if poss. (UK) Tried everywhere else and asked me to post here as this is the best tech site. Cheers

Hope all is well with everone; My 2004 450 FE kick start seal has been weeping for some time now. Need to fix Question: can the seal be replaced from the outside of the case cover or do I pull the cover to replace the seal

Why oh wny? Having probs starting bike (spoke to taffy, we think its damp after washing taff i aint had time to do your stuff but dried off best i could) left it overnight, and it fired up for 3 secs then died, then when trying to restart, it decided to nearly break my foot with a massive...

Hello, I just picked up a 2000 fe400e. The bike does not run at the moment due to a bad stator and while I'm waiting for a new stator I thought I would take care of a couple other issues with the bike. One of the problems is with the kick starter. When you push it down, at about the half way...

Is it only the plastic bit in the sidecover that keeps the kickstart from coming out while riding? The plastic bit is missing, but now the kickstart is extremely loose, so I'm suspecting that there is a problem with the kick start itself also. When I take it a apart, there is some kind of...

Hi All OK first up - I feel like a bit of a numpty today - having taken my berg to dave clarke racing (berg expert) to look at what I thought was a starting problem - dave got it going in 2 minutes flat (drained carb and kicked it) - there were some other issues (valve clearances, plug &...

My 01 FE 650 somtimes when kicking it over will seem to jamb up about half way thru the stroke. To get it to move I have to pull the hand compression release and the kick start lever will then return and it will kick over. Has anyone had this trouble. Also trying to work out my e start...

I recall a t hread that said some earlier berg models had a shorter kick start that fitted the later 07 and 08 models. Is that true and from what year, and how much shorter is it. regards

I have a 2002 (550), that is very well taken care of. 2 months ago I was riding, ( no big deal) we stopped for a brake. As soon as we were ready to take off, the first kick, SNAP! the Kickstart Shaft broke off clean with the outside of the clutch cover ( I ordered a new one from Sam's Cycle). As...

I'm trying to replace the O ring on my 01, 470. I was wondering if anyone could help me with ideas on how to remove the old one as well as fitting the new one. I havn't had any success for the last few days.

Help!!! Put starter mech back in and hand kicked while side cover was off.somewhat tuff but motor turned over,in neutral,comp released hooked up, seemed ready.got to riding area and still lever hardly would move.could cylinder be worn out? haven't pulled off valve covers to check decomp rod...

No doubt this question has been asked here before BUT.. Is it possible to update the KS shaft #H23009701 from a 02 FS650 to a later part from the 04-up, #80033050000 .If so what other parts(if any) are required. THx
