Vertigo

hi.... I'm jeong won living in South Korea. Vertigo 12v start battery connection is inconvenient So I made a 12v portable starter battery with 18650 batteries. It is 11.1v by connecting three 3.7v batteries, but 12v comes out because it is 4 volts when fully charged. In the photo, the battery hold is on the side but is actually under the air filter. Make a switch and start the engine When started, disconnect the switch. If the switch is connected and kickstarter 3 starts.

Does, or did, one exist, or is one coming? I find multiple references on the web about a Vandal model with electric start, but there's no mention of it on their website. Does anyone here know, or has anyone seen one?

Went to the Bob McGregor Trials Ground yesterday , mainly to test the Vertigo , I also was interested to see what the facility was like . Got to say the Venue is brilliant , the people very friendly & helpful, from Murdo ( organiser) to the girls in cafe . Many thanks to Nick (Vertigo ) for the test ride , trouble is I went convinced I wanted the 300 ( I have a 300 Sherco ) but I thought the 250 was brilliant !! What is holding me off ordering the 250 , is all the other people who tested the 250 ( I spoke to 6 ) all own 2016 300s , and they preferred the 300 !! I rode Nicks 300 Ice Hell 2016 & Murdos Camo 300 2016 ( with flywheel weight ) ) & still…

For some reason I thought or read that the Vertigo used the same EFI system as the OSSA (Kokusan). However, I just discovered that Vertigo uses Skynam (AKA Sybele) EFI ( http://www.skynam.com/). thoughts?

Has anyone had a problem with their kick starter catching on their foot peg?

Hiya, anyone tried the e10 unleaded in their vertigo in the Uk, good or bad opinion? does it make any difference over E5 given it’s got 2stroke mixed in? though I would ask before I tried it, been using super unleaded e5 until now, but it getting harder to find. cheers

Hi I have 2020 Vertical 250 . I have the Get system & have played about with adjustments, but can’t get that softness at initial throttle opening I would like. Slightly retarding ignition wld normally achieve this , like I did on previous bikes plus on my old 240 Fantic , on Vertigo this just produces engine braking!! I know on Gas Gas they fit low compression heads to smooth out bottom end & Beta lads have put extra base gasket on 300 s to do the same . So my ? Is , I think they do a low compression for 300 but not 250 ? Has anyone tried extra base or head gasket ? If u do base or head gasket ,is any re-programming needed ? Thanks

I've just been cleaning my nitro's battery compartment and pressed the test button on the battery and theres no lights on... With never owning one before I would imagine that the battery should hold some charge? and any ideas or how to diagnose what the problem is? Anyone got any experience in this as there's absolutely diddly about it in the manual or online about it Thanks in advance Mick

My 2016 Camo had been working great, then started having shifting troubles. The lever sticks in up position after shifting up, can’t make another shift until push down slightly and then back up, almost like using a ratchet driver. In neutral the lever has a lot of free play in both directions. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Last week I had a high compression cylinder head insert installed on my 250 (S3 insert). Compared it with a standard 250 of the same year (at the dealer's) and it feels much stronger and runs cleaner. So very happy with the result. The high compression is noticeable when starting, but it still starts with the first kick warm, three when cold. Strange thing is that the idle went up. Stalling it now is almost impossible, but clutch control needs some adaption. Any thoughts how idle can increase by a high compression insert?

I'm thinking of buying a 300 ice hell second hand, is there anything to look out for on second hand vertigos, Or common problems?

I collect my 2017 Combat Camo this weekend and wondered what owners think is the best way to mount a number board? Or is it better to just tape the number over the light?

Anyone had the linkage apart for greasing care to comment on how hard (or not) it is to get to everything? Were the bearings well greased from the factory? Anything else I should know before I tear into it?

I've just had a look at upgrading my 300 icehell for a new 2018 model to find Vertigo are only producing the titanium model R and the new Virtical model. All good and well until you read the spec and see that the virtical model is last years Camo spec but at icehell price. Sorry but at £7000 I would be buying a bike with less spec than what I have. Full details on Spanish Vertigo website. Someone Please prove me wrong that Vertigo are not trying to rip me off....

Are the "Combat Camo" and a "Combat Camo Works" bikes one and the same? I am seeing some subtle differences in pictures compared to the local test bike. Not sure if parts differ.

Good morning... I have a Vertigo 300 Vertical 2018. I saw on internet that the 2019 model have a map switch on the front mask. Is it possible to retrofit this map switch on my 2018 model? Regards

my brother has just bought a 16 ice hell. we was swapping the master cyclinder covers over to some nice red csp ones earlier and noticed the clutch master cyclinder was completely empty of fluid. which seems weird as it worked when I test rode it a few days ago. I'm presuming it will need bleeding rather than just topping up as its completely empty up top. and how are these bled? there isn't a nipple near the casing where the hose is like on my beta. thanks

Have to wait until October! Two models released at the Milan show 300cc Fuel Injection Petrol tank located in a different place

Hi all, I have a 2019 Vertigo and for some reason I keep getting a lot of transmission oil from the breather hose to the airbox, and from there the oil drips everywhere, it gets pretty messy. I have heard from a Vertigo mechanic that the new Vertical R has a "oil catcher tank" inside the airbox so that the oil won't get all over the place, but in the Vertical R parts diagram I cannot find the drawing or the part number code.... Can anyone help me out? TIA!
