starting

I'm about 6 months new on my 2001 470 FL so I know part of its technique. It has the automatic decompression which I pretty much have down and starting it after I shut it off with the kill switch is no problem. Getting it started cold is one of the battles I have. It never has fired with...

Hi gang, Just wanted to check I've got my cam timing right (ish). It's an '02 650. Its a pig to start and will only start when it feels like it. Once running it runs nice. It just had a rebuild after a mains failure and the only doubt in my mind at the moment is the cam timing. Please...

i have just brought a 2003 650 se and i was wondering if there is a upgrade for my starting motor. so i will be able to start the bike from my starter instead of kicking it over ....

Thanks for your help again, it's running :D Now some questions about truning it into SM 1. Has someone of you an adapter for 320mm Brake disk 2. Has anybody a rear sm rim 17" 4,25 wide and 36 holes for Talon ... or best a complete rear wheel must'nt be with talon. For this time...

Has anyone had problems starting their bike after a wash. I use CT18 Truck wash with a Karcher and after I've finished washing it, the big girl just doesn't want to start. The only way it will start is with the choke on and once started, you have to let it idle for 10 minutes. If you give...

Hi, The bikes been stood 1yr, but started regular...used to start 2nd kick hot or cold but i took it out for a run and after only 5 miles the bike wont start up. It fires and even runs for a few seconds then dies ,when i finally got it running it ran fine but would not restart hot or cold...

HELLO ! i wonder if i can replace the starter on my 02 650fe to a 2004 starter, i heard i go with a higher rpm and start better..

Okay folks, bear with me on this one. I know it's been covered before, but I wanted to get something straight. It seemed to be established that I was the Husaberg starting guru at the ECFR. Not sure if it is my young leg, or technique. But, taking age out of the question, I wanted to...

Hi My bike start well on kick, but not on electric starter. the starter runs fast!!! but it wont start, it start some time when i lift the throttle a little. the electric starter runs fast because i hawe mounted a 11ah battery under the seat. :?:

HELLO ! MY BIKE ONLY STARTED WITH A WIRE AFTER A CAR, AND SOME TIMES AFTER 50 KICKS. I HAVE CHECK THE HARD STARTS GUIDE. ITS LITTLE BLUE SPARK 20 KV , GOOD STATOR VOLTAGE 30V AND 1,5 ON THE OTHER. JUSTING THE VALVES 1/8 TURN (0,10), AND CLEAN THE CARBURATOR. ITS GOING GOOD...

Hi all! as I am a bit of a newbie here, I had better get a round of drinks in! So what yer all having then? :D I have got a 02 FS650 in motard trim, she is looked after very well and always serviced at the local Berg dealer (SR Offroad) whilst she was in for her last service, i asked the...

I have the cure for you guys that are having a hard time starting your berg. Stay Tuned for more. :D hint : you will have to give up a little to accomplish this.

I know that the smaller motor is the Mitsuba SM-14 and I am looking to know what the larger, "updated" model is... Thanks a bunch!

Hi Guys, I have had trouble e-starting on hills in gear. I find that it just will not get going without selecting neutral. This is a real pain. I would love to just pull the clutch in and hit the e-start but it will just not fire up. It has started in gear on the flat, but then I do not...

hi guys,my name is paul and i am from Greece. this is my first post and i hope that anyone of you would be kind enough to help me. i own a 95 fe 600 sm which has an 38mm dellorto vhsb. it runs great but has a significant problem in starting when the engine is cold and the enviroment's temp...

:? It wasn't that long ago that i was on this site trying to solve problem starting. Well, this time, my problem is just with the button. I don't use the button from cold (mainly because the engine will hardly turn with choke on, even off a car battery) so I kick her off instead, usually she...

Happy New Year To All. Just Serviced My 400,Had To Reset The Valves As They Were Really Tight, Changed The Oil And Filter And Put Fresh Antifrezze In Her. Adjusted The Decompression Cable Because The Lever Did Naff All,It Now Just Pushes Down On The Arm Ever So Slightly When You Cycle...

Hello, I have a 2002 FC470 with 800km (25 hours) on it. I alway started her without much trouble and without using the choke. Now that the weather is starting to get colder I suddenly have extreme starting problems when the motor is cold! When kicking without choke it doesn't do...

Hi. I have just put back together the engine of my 2001 FS650e and now I have problems to start the engine. I went through "Hard starting guide", except measuring the electricity. I have checked: - valve adjustment - ignition (marks on ignition cover and rotor) - spark (sparking...

I’m having a little trouble starting my bike. The bike has not been started in a while; this seems to be a problem with most four strokes when they sit for long periods of time. I am using the kick starter because this is a cold start. Both fuel petcocks are turned on. The key...
