Posting for a friend, I have not seen this personally. My buddy just put a '05 550 starter in a '02 470 and it just spins and don't engage. Is there any reason this starter wouldn't work? Maybe some kind of mod needs to be done to it? Read the DOC and not sure if any of that applies. I'm...

Hoping any of the Berg boffins can assist.... I have a '04 Berg 550FE with a stuffed kickstarter (will implement some of Taffy's ideas when I do the repair) and therfore totally reliant on the e-start at the moment. I have navigated thru this forum and have read about everything with a...

Hey all, I am looking for a starter block-off plate for my 380, any one know of one or have a drawing? Thanks,

I bought a 2001 R6 starter motor off ebay from England. It is a lot smaller than the one in my FE600 1996. Have I bought the wrong one or do I have the wrong bike for an R6 starter motor. Mine starts on the E start when cold but not when hot. I'm half way through checking valve clearance hoping...

I've got little patience for this weak starter mess, and I think it would be nice to have the extra space for a decent catch can, packed lunch, etc. So, while my motor is out being repaired and updated I'd like to do a little cleaning up of the wiring. I've removed the starter, solenoid...

I have ditched the starter motor off my 650 as I'm running without a battery. I found a blanking plug in the box of spares I got with the bike. But, I cant find the bracket that fits on the rear of the blanking plug to keep it in place. Has anyone got a picture of how its fixed so I can...

ARG I CANT STAND THIS LEFT SIDE KIK. BUT IM INTERESTED TO KNOW IF ITS WORTH OR EVEN POSSIBLE TO INSTALL A ELECTRIC STARTER. I REALIZE IT WOULD NEED A POWER SOURCE AND SUCH BUT JUST WOUNDERIN

04 FE 650 My kick-starter got away from me the last time that I removed the side cover. Now I am trying to get it all put back together. And I have a couple of questions. 1, Do I need to preload the main kick-starter spring? If so how many loops or how much preloading? 2, Indexing the...

Having trouble starting with the Estart. Will kick after 4 or so kicks but wont start with e starter. when cold takes about 10 - 15 kicks. Im quessing my exhaust valve is miles out. If it is not the Exhaust valve do the Starter upgrades found in the manual still work with the 07 model? cause...

I'm going to pull the battery and starter on my 08 FE 450. I've been through a couple batteries on the thing already and between my fan and GPS I rarely get through a day without having to kickin it to life. I'm to the point I don't use the starter anymore to save the battery for the freakin fan...

G'day Men, as we know the starter motors in our beasts are piss weak to say the least. Has any one ever tried rewinding one with heavier wire to get some more oomph out of it or are the magnets the limiting factor here, cheers Matt

As so many people before me I am also on a quest for a working starter on my 2002 650, have bought the R6 starter and the super battery from 'ol cranky' and am now playing around with the torque converter and the sprague. Torque converter is working properly tested it with a torque wrench and...

Hi Folks...I have read a few post regarding a similar issue with the starter motor on bergs but usually they are older models. I have a 2008 FE550 with one season...2500KM on it ....the starter problems began late in the season last year. it spins without engaging one or 2 times before finally...

2001 fx470e when I push the start button the relay makes a clicking noise but the starter does not spin.I bypass the starter relay and connect 12 volts to the starter and nothing happens the voltage drops from 12.5 to around 5 volts.I remove the stater and connect 12 volts and the starter spins...

I am trying to put my 04 Fe650 back together. I was warned about the kick starter shaft. So when I took the bike apart. I made sure that the shaft did not pull out. Or so I thought. When I put the side cover back on the shaft stays free until the very end when I torque the side cover...
