Looks Like I got A Bad Fuel Pump
Went riding with Girard yesterday and another friend of ours Jeff. About half way through the ride the Berg back fires and dies a few feet later on the trail. Thought I might have hit the kill switch.
Eat a quick bite back at camp and continue on. Well she dies on me 5 more times. Seems to be more likely to happen when the going is slow & hot. Our temps here have been hot & humid. Got home and did the research and it looks like I have one of the "Known" bad Berg pumps. Rich Smith is sending me a new one since it is a warranty issue. Hopefully this solves the problem. This is on my 2010 Berg.

Rob,
They seem to have heat related issues. A friend of mine here had a 390, and had to insulate the header and tank. Its a lot like a Cannondale, with everything packaged tight up against the fuel tank, the fuel can boil/vaporize in the tank/pump. Pumps depend on the fuel for cooling and lube. |

Glenn,
I have the tank is insulated with the CV heat sheild and that works pretty good. There was a bad batch of fuel pumps and looks like I got one of them.

Thats great that Rich is sending you one. Hopefully you got the new pump.
I have installed approx 20 of the California Cycle pumps and have yet to have a come back. They are $129. |

also... in talking to him... this bike, which was brand new, had a place on the harness that was shorting out on the frame..

Scotty is that Canadian$ or USA$? I am going to get a back up just in case. Also going to put an inline filter where the quick connect is and also a fuel sock. Rich is in Vegas right now but will ship one to me this Saturday. Rich and Smith's Power Sports are awesome!
