ride

Well finally I got a chance to hit some single track this past Sunday on my "new to me" 09 FE450. The past two weeks have been hard as I have been staying late almost every night at work and was sick last weekend. So every time I have had a chance to fiddle with my bike I was either buzzing on...

Check this out. You need Google Earth to view. You will need to save/change the .txt to .kmz to open it. It would not let me save the file as a .kmz directly. Now if I could only tie in and sync a helmet cam to this?? John

We'll I finally got the bugs worked out and went for a nice long ride yesterday. It was a little windy with about 40mph side winds which made for some interesting manuvers. Compensating to the windward side at times to stay somewhere in the middle of the trail. The trails were mostly on the fast...

my first ride on my new 450 i'd managed 12 miles and decided to go off road when i only got 30yrds when i wire connected to a concrete post caught in my backwheel bounced up cutting my leg and ripping the back mudguard off ha ha ha what a cabbage anyway my second ride i faired no better the lads...

Anyone had any thoughts of a 2009 Aussie Force ride, when, where, Wildman (Wal) mentioned last year about having it around the time of the A4DE which is at Orange NSW 16th-19th April Thoughts anyone!!

This seems a neat little vid for the berg and a fun course with more realistic conditions for testing. http://web.me.com/masterlinkpro/Masterl ... _Vids.html Nick

I havent posted a ride report upto press because I have not had enough time to get out & ride the 570, that frustratingly has been sat in my garage for 3 weeks. Anyway got out a couple of days ago and put in that initial hour so I could change the oil. Firstly my experiance is pretty limited...

570 Run in Ride After an anxious wait, the boats trucks and aforlifts had finally done their bit to bring the bikes to the opposite side of the planet on the 23rd. Berg2 and myself loaded up with funds and went to the local dealer (Valley Force Husaberg) ) for a look-see and checkout and...

Well, I finally managed to get out on my 570 today and did a 100 mile trail ride. Due to flooding, the conditions were very wet, muddy and slippery, so perfect to try out the Berg. I race 4 hour enduros at clubman level and ride fast pace trail. The terrain was chalk gulley inclines with...

..........and wow what a nice bike. Got to see the 2009 Husaberg up close and personal in Greece at the ISDE but could not talk David Larsson into letting me ride one as it was the world intrduction and the times and riders were set. Managed to get Rory a demo ride but not the sponsor :D...

It's 10 months and counting to Force Ride 3. Lets get some excitement started here by having a design contest for the event t-shirt. possibly decals as well. I will be happy to print the shirts for the cost of materials. I know we must have a few artist as members who can create...

ofcourse not done by playing tennis, I damage riding and over excersicing on the gym, I haven´t been able to ride in about 1 month, and the pain stills very strong, The threatment I have been doing is ice, and laser threatment, but I can´t see any improvement!!! Has any one suffer from...

I just took my 450 out today for a short ride as I got it registered street legal. Went for a short ride, came back home and realized that steam and smoke were coming out of the engine and exhaust..(piston, rings etc) It had probably 2hours after the last overhaul... The coolant was empty and I...

As posted last week, I got my 09 FE450 a week and a half ago and finally got out for my first real ride today. I honestly dont know where to start with this bike report. I feel like I have been drinking too much of the Berg Kool-Aid but the bike is truly amazing!! I am 6ft tall and am a...

Sutto Demo Day went well. Here's the link to the ride report. http://www.eatmydirt.com.au/?m=article&id=473. Some may have to get over any pumpkin allergies, or just read the bits on the Berg.

love it!! being 38 i've ridden a few dirt bikes in my time & was pointed to the berg by a mate with an 04 550 - light, fast, nibble, won't start off the button ... yeehaa

I rode one of the few 2009 FE450 demo bikes in the US today. The bike is amazing! I rode it back to back with my 2008 KTM 250XCF in some typical New England terrain(rocks, roots, logs) and on a grasstrack and felt instantly comfortable on it. It feels just as light and nimble as my 250 but with...

I came across these interesting videos and thought they might be of interest: Valve spring at 7000rpm http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=i_NpzU4pGjc Valve float: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_REQ1PUM0rY I thought the valve float video was particularly enlightening. Enjoy, Simon

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNN this powerplant is loud!!! And i`m not talking about the exhaust :D This is a 07 fs650, with 50 hour on it.. Just set the valves correctly and changed oil.. Went for a short ride, and i must admit, i stopped on a bus-stop, walked around the bike without my helmet...

Ok, well nobody started a new thread dedicated to the 2009 Force Ride, so I figured I would. I fully intend on making the trip, along with one or two others (pumpkin riders) from Michigan. What sorts of accommodations are in the area?
