Went to dave clarkes today and had ago of alex wignalls bike a 380 berg with air suspension it had to be the easiest bike i have ever ridden the suspension was so plush you could push that much harder it soaked up the small bumps as if they weren't there and you could hit straight edged bumps...

Where can I find a listing of ALL the fork (make and size) that are used on bergs since 2000? For example, 02 FC470 uses WP 48U Fork and WP 50 Shock. What about the other bikes? There must a reference chart somewhere.
Thanks
Okay all,

Just wondering what they are for the 05 fe450e.
I know absolutely nothing about the proper settings. I have adjusted sag before and assume it should be 100mm, is this right?
What about the other ones like compression and rebound. Is there a good starting point? I'm 6'1", 200lbs w/o gear. The...
Hi everyone,
I going to have my Forks and shock serviced/setup. I just don't
know where to send them. I have heard great things about Dicks in California and a few negative remarks from other suspension shops.
Who would you" the great all knowing Husaberg Community" recommend?

What is the main difference between the suspension on the FE and FS?
I am planing to go from a FE400 -00 to a 650 FE or FS -03 but want to have both Enduro and Motard weels on it. Will the FS suspension work ok when running Enduro. Will the total sitting hight of the bike with Enduro tires be...
I really need some help.
Joined the Husaberg Family 8 days ago from a 3 year love affair with an incredibly reliable and tuned 520 and really have some doubts if I did the right thing.
Being older than most I'm a point and shoot specialist and the 650 doesn't disappoint in that dept...
I rode my 450 today on my Hare scramble/grass track. To keep the front from diving when decelling, I installed 4.6 springs and ran the stk 80/250 spring in the back. After a few laps I softened the fork compression 4 clicks and the high speed on the shock by half a turn. It seems very good...
I've read the previous thread on this subject, but would appreciate any additional info as to the removal of the part of the susp. linkage that pivots in the swingarm. I've removed the nut and bolt, but can not remove the link itself. Are there any special methods/ techniques that would help...
I rode a 2001 fx470e yesterday and the only complaint I had was the suspension was too stiff. The front forks are the 48mm. The rear does not have the high speed and low speed adjustment on it like the 2002.
Is it possible to soften it up a bit for trail riding without buying parts?
I'm...
Does anyone know or have access to manuals/brochures/ texts of any sort that might indicate spring rates and dampening updates to the 2005 Fe 550?
