Hi guys, im new to this forum but very happy to have found a place for the Berg enthousiasts! I've always wanted to get a proper supermoto after driving mopeds and other types of motorcycles and now recently a nice 570 (I think FE converted to supermoto) has come on my path via a friend. It's a...

Hello, I picked up up a project 07 fe550, it started burning oil on the PO, he took it apart and there it sat. From what I can tell something scratched the cylinder, causing a lot of blow by or oil getting passed the rings. The weird thing is the valves look just fine, and so does the...

Hi! I'm planning to do a complete rebuild of my FS650e that needs a big amount of TLC... I want to keep an original look as far as possible, but I don't like the 2003 decals. Is the 2005 plastic and decals the newest who fits my bike? Is the picture attached correct layout for a 2005 mod...

Hi! My name is Martin, 23y old from Norway. I’m a happy owner of this 2001 model Husaberg 650 that i bought a while ago. The engine was "rebuildt" by Taff in january 2012, 2-3 owners ago, so it sure has been a solid build and done its job. When i bought the bike, it had not been used for a...
