ogre6br Posted September 23, 2005 HI Looking at 1999 600 E and/either a 2001 501 E H’berg. What are the potential problems with either bike?? What should I pay particular attention to when looking them over?? Are their issues with oil filters V screens for certain models and engine life as a result?? Approx- what compression should a good motor have?? Is there a way to check for broken oil return valves without stripping the motors down?? What’s the approx time between top end rebuilds with this vintage H’bergs?? and if poss approx cost$$?? Some boards I have been looking at make mention of the timing chain eating into the cases- is this a big issue and if so how do you test whether a bike suffers from this condition?? What’s the spares back up for H’begs?? And how do the cost of spares compare to more common bikes?? Thanks heaps for your help Later P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sliverdcpl Posted September 28, 2005 Don't do it, 2001 Bergs are notorious for counterbalancer and engine case problems. Ever see an ad for a berg with welded cases? Probably an 01. I had an 02 and had enough problems with it. On the other hand it was extremely fast. Like dating a supermodel, great to look at, but really high maintenance.
