I've got a brand new FE390 and have read about a lot of Berg owners fitting the Dirt Tricks timing chain tensioner to their bikes to replace the hydraulic tensioner on their bikes.

    setting timing on a 98 FE 600

    I have been tinkering with the timing this afternoon. With the timing light and at idle the timing was about an 1/8 inch above the mark. I removed the flywheel and moved the stator about 1/8 and the timing light now shows it hiting the mark. The problem is that the idle is a bit erratic and the...

    Counter Balancer timing

    I spilt the cases on my 2001 fc550 to clean up and check out everything after a camshaft bearing let go.Fortunetly, nothing else was affected. Crank bearings and con rod feel perfect after about 150 hrs.Decided to replace balancer bearing while it's apart. My question is the manual says when...

    Setting timing with SEM Stator

    I have a 1997 FE 400 Elduro. Sparks just did a fine job of rewinding the stator, and I want to be sure that the timing is correct. The manual says only to release the three stator screws slightly, turn the stator to 33 degrees BTDC, and retighten the screws. Fine, but how do I know when...

    Timing chains.

    Could any one tell me if you can shorten the 82 link timing chain ( part No. 200-045-03 ) by four links and make it fit the 1999 FE 501 that needs the 78 link chain ( Part No. 200-045-02). I don't know if the pitch of the chain will be the same that is my only concern. I ask this as I...
