    Supermoto on Speed Network

    Tuesday seems to be "dirt bike day" on Speed, but of course all of the races are played during the day, which means: set up your DVR. Last Tuesday was the Namur race. (Yes, we get this a bit late out here) It was a delight so see Dejong lead for more than half a race and contain a very...

    6 speed ?

    Who could I order a six speed kit from for my 05 fc 550 that might have it in stock? I have been waiting for three months as it is on order with NMS and the bike just sits as it is not any fun ridding. Seven months old with four hours on it---what a shame. Please help,

    Engine dies at slow speed

    So here is my question, following the difficulty I had on Sunday. In normal riding conditions, the engine runs nice. Again, I am so pleased at how regular the power comes, with not nasty hit and simply more and more power available on demand. It is a 2001 FE501e and I had a lot of...

    High speed shut down

    Hello all. Since it has been pretty hot here, I went riding really early in the morning. My staging area is next to a highway and I could not resist the empty highway.

    sprocket changes to lower top speed

    Has anyone experimented with the number of teeth to lower the top speed? Which sprocket is best to change? It seems to be set up for wide open spaces, which I am short of. Thanks

    Stock Fe650 at highway speed- endurance concerns

    I had been given some advice (by a local dealer) not to ride my FE650 on the highway for long periods of time because the engine would overheat. Does anyone have any experience in this department? The longest I'd be going for is about an hour and 1/4, at an average between 70kph and 120kph...
