Just purchased a new (2011) FE570!

- Bullet Proof Designs radiator guards, rear disk guard and chain guide guard
- Hanguards
- Steering stabilizer
- P3 carbon fiber pipe guard and skid plate
- Extra airfilter(s)

Extended service plan?

The Can-Am in line fuel filter. Throw away the in line quick disconnect, and put in an inline fuel filter like the Aussies use on their race bikes.

The reason I said that was because there are a number of issues with the bike as-delivered that a smart owner would address before investing in add-ons.

Firstly, there is a safety recall on the handlebar clamps. If your clamps do not have a single punch mark just aft of the front bolt, the manufacturer says you have an unsafe motorcycle and that you should not ride it until the replacement clamps are installed.

Second, the close proximity of the exhaust mid-pipe to the fuel tank causes the fuel in the tank to be heated to the point that it'll outgas through the fuel cap vent and on occasion vapor lock the motor. At relatively slow speeds when airflow around the tank and exhaust isn't enough to draw the heat away, the bike may strand you in the middle of nowhere.

Third, there is evidently a problem with the fuel pump. There's a check valve in it that may fail, and there are evidently other failure modes as well. There is a redesigned fuel pump available, and your bike may already have it. Or it may not.

Fourth, unless you are using your 570 for relatively high speed work in open country, the factory gearing is preposerously tall. Lowering the gearing is all but a must if you are using the bike as an enduro machine (as it was intended) and not a desert racer.

Fifth, and this is an easy one, I will bet you a six-pack of your favorite beer that there is insufficient sealing grease on the lip of the air filter.

Sixth, the factory exhaust can is THE element that causes your bike to run at much less than its potential, to run hot, and to cook your right thigh. You can make any number of modifications to the guts of the factory muffler (as I have done) and you will make only marginal improvements to the problem. Do yourself a favor and buy an aftermarket can (I bought an FMF 4.1 and am delighted with it with the reduced noice tail and spark arrester), and have your dealer install the performance intake map. With the greatly reduced backpressure in the exhaust system, the bike will tend to run lean with the standard map.

Seventh, depending upon the emission laws of your state, give consideration to the removal of the emission control junk that's hung on your bike. Bet you didn't know that there is an evaporative control canister under the right rear fender cover that is plumbed into the rocker cover on the engine and the fuel cap.

Agree with Ruger. I'll add this: wrap the pipe with exhust tape to greatly reduce the heat transfer to the gas tank. The apply the CV4 reflective heat shiel tape to the tank underside. Ride the beast and enjoy!

good points ruger. hope you don't mind if cut and paste a few of these into the list i did a while back and mentioned above.

just wondering how much the intake map affected your fuel economy? i don't need extra power but would like to keep good mileage going for adventure riding. but i have noticed since fitting the aftermarket pipe that occasionally the 570 stalls when snapping the throttle open at low revs, annoying when i'm jumping a log or similar obstacle. i figured this is probably because it's running lean?

I have owned a 09 FE570 for a couple of years now. I suffered from the vapor lock problem as well. My fix was to ceramic coat the header pipe, wrap with titanium exhaust wrap, CV4 blanket kit, billet gas cap (no check valve), which I drilled out vent hole to about twice the original size. Have been riding with this setup for better than a year with no further sign of boiling fuel or vapor lock. FMF Q4 helps the exhaust flow and is low on noise level.

What do you mean by "Vapor lock"? :confused2:
My understanding of Vapour Lock is in old carburettor engine cars where the fuel line would heat or the carburettor would heat up and the fuel vaporised and the car fuel pump was not good enough to overcome the pressure of the vaporised fuel or the pump would cavitate and not pump or something like that.
I can't see how a Vapour Lock would occur in the Husaberg as the EFI pump is submerged in Fuel and if there was any vapour in the fuel line the pump which operates at 48~54psi would blow it out in an instant?
The only LDC issues I have seen with Fuel on UHE are:
The EFI Fuel Pump being affected by heat and a part in the pump swelling and causing the pump to lock and not spin.
Electrical Connectors falling off the Fuel Pump inside the Fuel Tank.
Strange white junk in the tank when new, clogging the filter or pump (can’t remember which).
Wires in the wiring loom chaffing or breaking.
Fuel Injectors getting clogged with dirt due to bad filters.
Hose inside the tank coming off or bent over on itself, blocking flow.

I believe the so called "vapor lock" was due to the fuel actually boiling in the gas tank. There was more than one instance of parking the bike after a hot ride and listening to the sound of fluid boiling. I fist thought it was the cooling system. Further inspection revealed gasoline seeping from around the injector area. The "vapor lock" occurred out on the trail. It died and felt as it had run out of gas. It would not restart. After sitting for a while and allowing the bike to cool, I removed the gas cap to find plenty of fuel in the tank. After allowing the bike to cool, I was able to restart the bike and finish the ride. There was plenty of discussion about this problem posted on this site. Since the afore mentioned fixes, I have had no further fuel boiling problems. A word of warning: Never try to remove the gas cap if this fuel boiling problem occurs. We had a fellow riding buddy do this and got a face full of boiling gas! Most painful! Happy riding to all HusaBrothers!

HI Berg Brothers. I did the mods first thing before I even begun to enjoy the bike. Now it runs like a charm and runs top notch. I just received my shorter rear end plate brace that mounts to your bottom fender and the rear light is just right. The utrn signals are integrated. So no more dangling when you hit the dirt.
