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 currently have my needle at the recommended location but will be riding in the desert at 2000 feet. Can I drop the needle one notch to get better mileage and not adversely affect performance?

PART ONE - INTRODUCTION TO THE MAIN CIRCUITS AND WHAT THEY DO IN THE CARB.
i don't very often start a thread here now. But I think those of you with a 1990-2003 bike may well be very interested in following the workings through this thread.
So, the target was easy starting which has...
Some years ago I had a 1996 FC400 but gave the bike away to a guy in Michigan.
Digging through an old toolbox I found some old carb jets and a needle. I believe the carb was a VHSB 38. If they are useful to anyone, please feel free to email me at [email protected] - they are FREE if...
my 05 450fe started a strange rumbling sound around clutch. pulled motor down couldn't find anything at the start but found the four small needle roller bearings holding starter gears look fine but when put gear in a turn by hand it sounds like rollers in bearing are square. can anyone give...

Dear Berg brothers,
I have what could be a dumb ass question, I am hoping someone may shed some light on correcting my situation.
Background:
I recently had my forks 'serviced' - which seemed to consist of replacing seals and renewing fluids.
The mechanic that did this returned the invoice...

Hi Guys
Have been lurking for a while, reading mostly exhaust and fuel. Anyway I was wondering if someone could tell me the i.d. of a keihin mk1 FCR needle jet ?
Thanks in advance.

I would like to know the relationship between different needle straight diameters and PJ's.
For example to get a certain fuel mix from idle to 1/4 throttle, with DVT needle and 45 PJ you would need a ? PJ with a DVR needle and ? PJ with a DVQ needle.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Roland
i kid you not, i have an engine here with two needle clips holding the sideplate on a camchain. they don't protrude, they don't rub: so they can't go wrong! right?
i checked them out and they are the dark 'C' clips you see holding keihin needles up!
old hat to anyone?
regards

just recently i have got back into dell ortos for the first time in 5 years or more. immediately i have tried the drilling mod on a tuned carb and and what a change that made!
next, i listened to a bike on choke and realised that it was too big. loonyberg now uses the #40 and loves it...
I have two '05 Husabergs, a FS650c and a FE550e. I installed Dale's needle in the 650 and it runs perfectly. The stock needle from the 650c is an OBEKR and I'm thinking of putting it in my 550e to replace it's stock needle which is an OBDVT. What's the difference? There is a third needle...
Hi there,on the trail of the cursed bad cold start.I have stripped my carb down and all jets are standard as is the needle clip position, now looking for wear.My bike has only done 60 hours so I have checked for ovality in the main needle jet (atomizer).Not oval but after inserting the needle...
I have decided to do a bit of maint on the little berg. This mainly came about when i noticed the head bearings were shot.
I have pulled the carb of to see if i can fix its nasty problem of low bog, popping and farting and being very hesitent and basically unrideable at or around the 1/4...
Hi All,
A few weeks back I noticed a drip every 20 to 30 seconds coming from the overflow on my FCR carb. It wasn't bad and I thought it was no brainer fix, replace the needle. I replaced the needle and the bike had sat for about 3 weeks. This weekend I was putting it all back together to...
