i know where i am , the motul is $30 per litre, but the bellray is $15. but the extra 15 bucks is nothing if i get a few thousand more clicks out of the engine.

thanks.

Paul, thats easy the Motul 300V is a full double ester oil that has zero % shear loss, ie no loss of lubrication at full operating temps & speed over time. The Bellray is a single ester oil ie older generation technology. The Motul was specially developed for 4 stroke bikes for Rallye racing ie high stress - high temps, and the car version was developed for NASCAR's.

I was put onto it by 2 Dutch and Swedish Husaberg rallye & supermoto race teams that have used it for 4 years with NO blown motors. I have used it now and would not use anything else. My '07 rallye race bike has done ~7,000 km and we are currently getting it ready for another 4,500 km in this years Safari rallye, pulled it down to check and it was like brand new inside.

Get a litre and have a look at it, its not like any other oil you will see. Yes an extra $15 is very cheap insurance per litre IMO.

You can get 22 liters of fuel combining Boss 15lts Tank, 2l underseat tank and 5l side panel tank. I used this configurantion last year at Rally dos Sertoes and it did good.

no its not going to happen now.

The focus is on the new '09 bike and how to get long range tanks for it.

As vbenedic says with the Clark at 17L, the underseat at 3L and either the Bergs side tank or a bum tank at 5.5L, you can get about 25L on board ok.

thats what the set up is

A 4 rider team competed in the 2008 Australian Safari rallye under the banner of Husaberg Rallye Racing.

The team went well with final results of:

#11 Dean Nuttall 10th outright and 2nd M2.3 class
#55 Thomas Jacobson 11th outright and 3rd M3.3 class
#29 Garry Connell 20th outright
#17 Garry Whittle DNF due to injury but running in top 15 prior to accident

All 4 bikes were essentially the same '07 or '08 FE650's.

The HUSABERG GIRLS !!

The team would like to thank for their fantastic support

Does a brolly dolly come with each bike ??? I'll ditch the AT and buy a berg if they do

guymcfly · 09-06-2008, 07:19 PM

Garry, out of interest, does the rallye package by Rally Management Services (actually made for the KTM exc's) fit the 'Bergs? Seem to remember seeing a pic of a Berg with all the fairing etc that looked very similar.

Just wondering because of the connection between many of the parts for each bike.

SafariBerg · 10-21-2008, 05:40 PM

Bjorn Nygren ran his Berg FE650 at this years Pharaohs Rallye 2008 finishing 58th out of 99 starters

canadaler · 10-22-2008, 09:23 AM

Great pics! Quite the "wang" in that front rim of one of the bikes

I'm trying to decide whether to fabricate a frame mount for my navigation gear, or just mount them to the forks...which has got to be a lot simpler and easier. These pictures are making me think the fork mount might just be the way to go.

I'll also have to find out where to score some "Rally Radio" stickers!

The KTM roadbook frame works well, its an easy bolt on, light & simple, just need a couple of spacers for the Berg headlight. Send me your email address and I willl send some photos etc.

Is there a site like this one but with the rules and navigation requirements for Baja. These guys have a very interesting training page for Dakar and I want to compare the two.

I like the led cap light that rider (bike 11) has on the peak of his helmet. I have seen these in several stores around town. I just might add one to my helmet -looks like a really good idea.

FYI....had heard at the UAE Desert Challenge from KTM that there is a possibility that the rally department will develop a full rally kit for the 570 Husaberg.

Just a rumour, but where there is smoke...
