    Just ordered a full rebuild kit for my forks. What oil height should I aim for? Can't seem to find any relevant info on this topic. Besides that, anything I should particularly watch out for? Thanks

    2010 FE390 Fork Spring Length?

    I’m in the middle of putting new fork springs on my buddies berg. The springs I ordered are 43mm x 505mm which from what I can tell matches the service manual for the FE models (open cartridge forks). The weird part is the springs that were in his forks measure 43mm x 485mm, which seems like...

    FS650 high speed "waving" issue

    Hi guys! I have a 2004 650 FS, and struggle a bit with high speed handling. From 110kph the front becomes lights and tends to "swerve" left to right, making it a bit scary. It's not a proper wobble, it starts progressively. I tried sitting closer to the front etc, the only thing to calm it...

    Berg just don't wanna go where I point. What am I missing?

    2010 fe450. Changed tires a few times, changed for heavier and lighter spring rate, tried increasing and decreasing comp and rebound damping, nothing seems to help. For most conditions I love the handling, but here in the PNW, we have a ton of FSR's consisting entirely of 4-8" diameter gravel...

    Fe390 suspension for road use

    iv had a quick look around and not finding much on this. My fe obviously has enduro suspension but now its duty is supermoto on road is there much that can be done to the suspension or are there spring and valve kits available to buy? Be great if anyone who has done the swap before could chime in

    Fx470 suspension

    At the beginning of my membership here I had a 99 fx600e. I traded that bike for a 2001 fx470e. After much tinkering and carb rebuilding That bike is starting and running well. It is fun and easy to ride, however the rear shock seems to be very harsh. I ride sandy dirt roads and cow trails here...

    2008 FE650 stock rear suspension setting

    Hi The rear shock on my Berg is way too firm, I'm 80kg. Going to play with the rebound and comp but would like to know how many clicks should it be in stock form and work from there. Riding is more dual sport type terrain so not too hectic.

    So now I'm once again vacillating on the:sell or keep the damn bike.:spin: I've all but sworn off riding on public roads, and I'm having a hard time parting with the Berg. I was going to buy a 300 2T and carry on with the trails, but the 570 is an impressive machine there too. Anyone...

    Suspension servicing

    Hi all. Just embarking on a build project and printed off the service and parts manuals. On the back sheets I've seen that the fork oil should be done every 20 hours. My bike is a 2002 and just used as a road toy. Is every 20hours really necessary? I haven't done them this time I've owned...

    FE501 rear suspension compatibility?

    Hi! I have bought an old ('99 I think) FE501 bike, with the rear shock missing and the swingarm broken. Dont worry, it was dirt cheap :D but I would need those parts though. Are there any other models with compatible rear suspension? I heard that later Berg and KTM models share the same rear...
