Hi guys! I recently aquired a 1997 Fe 501 and am very excited about it. I'm having troubles starting it but when it does start it runs like nobody's business. I have a few ideas why it might be difficult to start but I wanted to get some other opinions as well. My ideas are not...

Hi, I'm 82 Kilo without gear do you think a 76-250 spring would work on my bike. I could have some second hand SXS forks,wich springs do you think i need in them,in the manuel they talk about 4.6 in the standart forks... Are the SXS forks really better than revalved standart forks...

2 questions: speedometer tire set at 1790 reading 8km slow? i recently (3 months ago) set my tire size on my speedometer for a 17 supermoto front tire. however, it's reading about 6-8km to slow, which means it's also reading distance at a shorter range than normal. I.E i just traveled with a...

What oil (brand and weight) are you guys running in your bikes? The manual said 10w50 (I believe) - is that what everyone's sticking with? I've run Rotella T in my CRF's and have never had an issue - in fact, it's proven very good in both the engine and the tanny side of the power plant of...

A few of you have mentioned on here that a Rekluse is unsuitable for Supermoto. Why is that? It seems to me that a Rekluse would disengage when you close the throttle, giving you absolutely no engine braking. Isn't that a good thing? A left handlebar mounted rear brake could be modulated to...

Hi guys can I get a few tips on ensuring a new 450 2008 gets a good start to life. I am asking these questions before I have a good look at the bike on the weekend. Reading the manuals, owner's doc, and watched the maintenance vidoes that applied to earlier models. 1. with the valve...

Current mision is to get my 400 fitted with a 39mm fcr mk1 I know the info I need is in here somewhere but for the life of me I cant quite figure it out so I'm hoping someone can steer me right. #1 I've read that Yamaha WR cables fit but all the ones that I've seen are a two cable setup...

I am planning to rebuild my FE400 '03 engine (100 hours) this winter and to convert it to 470cc by boring out the barrel to 100mm and fit a 470 piston. I have a few questions about this, especially after reading this Thread ;) 1: Should I use this headgasket (from the doc): 21 200 321-01...

i'm going to dual sport my 02 fx 470. studying the wire diagrams, i see the power for the lights comes from the unused yellow from the gen. it seems i need an additional regulator. the way the additinal regulator is wired is odd in that it looks like it could only use half the waveform...
