running

Hi All, After getting spark on this bike it started and idles well. It now has another issue. It wont rev up and stumbles and backfires at mid to high rpm. When this happens it smokes out of the carb and stalls. Included is a video of the bike doing this. The carb has been gone through and is...

2011 FS 570, 700 miles. My bike has leaked a small amount of oil since New. It's bothersome in that it runs down the fuel line above the engine, down the side of the frame and onto the countershaft sprocket. It is perplexing that it is coming from above the motor. My dealer thought it was...

I have to use the throttle to start the bike, other wise it won't start. It will not idle without the throttle being applied, no matter how wound in or out the idle adjustment screw is. Throw some ideas at me please.

This will be my second berg but first 2 stroke bike. Are they good to go or are there any recommended parts, protection bits etc? Is the power map switch worth having? Had one on my 450 70° which was handy trail riding but I'm assuming the 250 will only be angry when you give it lots of...

I just had my oil changed and I previously thought the ignition cover was leaking oil so my dealer changed the cover gasket. On the first ride after the oil and gasket change I noticed oil leaking out of the rubber grommet which holds the stator wires entering the ignition cover. I need to...

Hello everyone, Got a bit of a conundrum with my berg. About 6 months ago i was riding home from work when my bike suddenly died. No mechanical crunches/bangs were heard, just rolled to a stop, a bit before that it was running slightly strange and it seemed to loose a little power. Anyway...

FS570 Commuter I did the usual 1000km oil change on my fs570 the other day and followed that with a coolant drain and then refill. also did new chain and sprockets was 13/38 now 14/40 both renewed fluid levels are as they should be, but since the service i must say she is running very hot...

Hi there! My 550 has the following symptoms; runs very strong from closed throttle to WOT for +- the 1st 30min Thereafter, on pilot jet, it literally runs as if the choke is out; sputters, won't idle etc. Once it manages to get on the main jet, it pulls like before again. Other info: -It has...

I can't get my 09 FE450 to start. I had to take the engine apart to replace a stripped countershaft. Put the engine back together. Started it and it ran fine. Sounded normal. Ran for 8 miles. Then died just like it was shut off. It restarted and I rode home. I took it out a couple of days ago...

g'day! clake: the aussie outfit the wunder from down under! http://www.clake.com.au/ is anyone using it or a similar system? I think there used to be an Austrian system a few years ago called the 'Kunz' didn't there? regards Taffy

Well, I have my 01 650 up and running. I'll plate it in the next week or two. I've done the stator, cam, cut the valves and seats, cam chain, cam sprocket and the valve springs. After the initial startup I had a few aluminum flakes in the filter. I've run it for another hour around our 1/3...

I had a cold start issue,the dealer took it apart & put in a new injecter. then it started , but wouldnt stay running untill fully hot. He took out the new injecter, & put the old one back in. still wont stay running. he has created this problem but is unable to fix it .It starts right up like...

09 fe450 with approx 100hrs on it. bit of a mare to start from cold, sounding like fueling issue? and hesitant to tick over without throttle for the first minute or so and drops out without any warning now and again? any ideas please, ive not had the bike for long, trying to get my head...

Ok, I went for a ride with friends today and 1.3 miles into the ride we had to pull our bikes under a downed tree. When I started it my buddy motioned at my bike down by the cylinder. Gas was dripping down the engine at a pretty good rate. To cut to the chase, we pulled the tank and checked...

My 97' FE 400 E will not run right. I can start it but to keep it alive I have to keep it at about 1/4 throttle. It spits and runs hard while occassionally back firing and then it just completely dies - and then sometimes slowly emits a white/gray smoke out of the exhaust. To fix this I took...

if you are running an adler slipper tell me how you like it and what you think of it. im looking at buying one. thx, rm

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help share their experience in either what to do or what not to do! I am stoked to be picking up a 2010 FS 570 tomorrow- supermoto I know, but I hope to hear from any 570 owner or anyone who has run in a new bike.I have had a handful of different bikes over the...

I noticed my idle wasn't quite right last time out, but the bike seemed to run fine. I took her out this morning and the idle was not right again. I pulled out the cold start and ran it for a minute, then turned it off and went for a ride. At first the bike felt a little flat in the mid range...

I put on a new brand new tank (08 model, came with petcocks and cap). Started off to work and about 8 miles out as I came to a light it died. I noticed the lever petcock was closed but screw out petcock was open (these were on opposite sides of the tank that came off, an 06 tank). The only...
