Vertigo

Hi As the title says, has anyone tried softening a Vertigo, (of any cc) by either adding an additional base gasket or a head insert? If so was there a discernible change and how does the alteration work with the fixed EFI maps?

So does anyone have any idea how people have ponied up for the top line titanium Vertigo? A friend of mine has ordered one which started the discussion as to whether he will be the 10th or 500th. Spencer

Lets see some pics of you and your vertigos in Action or stills

whats everyone done number board wise on there bikes ? (to hold you riding number) I rode this weekend with it gaffer taped on but it was a bit held on with a wing and a prayer. I know Vertigo are looking at getting one sorted but just wondered what anyone else had done

Do these bike run quieter, i.e. with less 'popping', if run on richer or leaner maps? Or does the bike always sound the same at or near idle? I ride around my property sometimes and a quiet bike is preferred:

Any rumors about the R bike?

Hi Guys, Just wondering what the consensus is on long term ownership of a Vertigo now that quite a few have been running them for a while? Is it possible that they will run reliably over a sustained period without the need for complex equipment / knowledge to ensure they do? I'm thinking about the average joe with no specific expertise in EFI that would use the bike regularly. I've read on the Ossa forum of people feeling the need to recalibrate components like the TPS etc every so many hours on a laptop with a diagnostic cable and also that Montesa owners have access to similar hardware but there is nothing out there to the best of my knowledge for Verti…

Does anyone know when its going to be available to buy and what kind of money are they?

My local Vertigo dealer has a 2019 Vertigo DL12 Dougie Replica 300cc for sale. Half year old, very little time on it. So basically it is like new. Is it that much better than a standard Vertigo or just a marketing thing (limited edition - 50 made worldwide / other color decals / titanium silencer)? I currently ride a 2017 Montesa 300RR, i might consider the Vertigo. Any help is appreciated. Greetz Erik

Just Announced on the UK web Site. The Ice Hell version of the Combat will be available in May at a Cost of £6500. The Camo 250 seems to be available as well.

Hi can anyone advise how to test this capacitor from a 2016 Vertigo (it’s got the batteryless upgrade). I can use a multimeter and read micro farads etc, I just don’t know the valves I should see (there are 3 pins, nothing written on the unit). Also would this being faulty cause failure to start (definitely no spark) ?

Hi everyone, just took my recently acquired 2016 ice hell out for a ride the other day. it was running fine for about 3 hours and then about an hour after i refuelled it, it sounded like it was running out of fuel and then died. after about 4/5 kicks it would start again and then run for 5 minutes until it would do the same thing anyone have any idea what it could be? I've heard possible fuel regulator? but not too sure cheers Andy

Mine has been ordered, and is supposedly "being shipped real soon". I am wondering how others owners/potential owners across the pond are getting along.

Hi Folks, my Vertigo ('17 Ice Hell 300) rear linkage has developed a fair amount of play in the swingarm. Appears the dog bones are worn. I have heard there is a newer rear linkage design for the '18 and newer models which I believe is compatible with the '17 models (?). Anyone know if this is so? And if it is recommended to make the switch? Or should I just replace dog bones and be done with it? Cheers!

Out for a ride This morning and my 2017 300 combat started blubing and running like a bike running low/out of fuel (it had a full tank). It cleared for a bit and then as soon as I started opening the throttle it would bog, but would tick over fine. I stopped the bike and then it wouldn't restart. After a long push back to the van I changed the plug (Had a good spark) and swapped battery, but It still wont start. I can hear the fuel pump cycle when I set the start button. So I'm thinking Injector blocked or a fuel pressure issue. Has anyone else had something similar? Any practical advice?

Hi all With the lack of 2017 250 Ice Hell and Fajardo reps on the market, i’m now looking at Verticals, mainly a 300 that I can pick up at a good price. I understand that in general, if you’re any less than a pro, you should stick with the 250’s. I’m a 26yr old clubman level rider just getting back into trials after a few years out, and wondering what peoples thoughts are on the 250 vs 300? Are the 300’s a real monster to deal with or is there just a load of controllable torque? Has anybody got experience of softening a 300 vertigo with the slow throttle, fly wheel weight and/or low compression head insert? Of course, I could just get the WiFiCo…

Is there a nack to get out the rear wheel spacers as I like to pack the bearings with grease but I'm struggling to get them out

I’ve had my 2017 bike from new and never had any problems - still on the original 9V battery! However, when I got the bike out yesterday for the first ride in a few weeks it would start OK but would not run smoothly. It felt as if it was running very rich, it wouldn’t rev very cleanly and then struggled to tick over. I checked the plug and it was very black. Also quote smoky when it was running. Vertgio UK weren’t sure what it was but clarified that the TPS sensor failure usually makes the bike very lean, so unlikely to be that. Am about to book it into a dealer for a check, but has anybody got any suggestions?

Dibs is off to pastures new leaving a gap in the BTC field. If Dougie replaces him who do you think would be the natural choice. Jack Price is probably tied up by GasGas but there is Jack Sheppard who has shown the resilience and determination to continue riding despite a few bad years and has produced some good results at that level. Other prospect include The Peace's, Iwan Roberts and Toby Martin. Anybody else come to mind. Of course Fajardo could run in the BTC as well as the Spanish Championship and WTC but that might be asking a bit much!
