approx FE570 miles before valves, top end rebuild etc?

racking up mileage rapidly on the new FE570. searching the forums, it looks like the later models are fairly bulletproof (after sorting out fuel pumps, filters etc) so interested to see what kind of work FE570 owners have had to do after clocking up a lot of mileage.

VALVES: most riders seem to find these barely move, even from new. any high mileage owners got suggestions for how often to check valve clearances? my dealer said they rarely move and just bring the bike in before i hit 2000 miles.

TOP END REBUILD: one of my riding buddies says to expect this around 12000 miles, but i think he's influenced by riding the older generation bergs? seen a few posts where guys have more than this mileage but have done nothing apart from valve adjustment?

COMPLETE ENGINE OVERHAUL: again, the riding buddy reckons around 20000 miles you'd want to strip her down and do the big end etc. the rate i'm going i'll clock that up in about two years and would probably need to start budgeting for it now. :lol:

i'm doing a mix of dirt and light adventure riding, almost never rev it hard, usual oil change intervals etc so was more hoping for something like 20000 miles for a top end rebuild, 30000 miles for a bottom end rebuild. i know not many 2009+ FE owners will have clocked up that sort of mileage, but keen to hear what your thoughts are...

that's pretty encouraging, 300 hours would be around 15000km with my kind of riding.

i think the pumps were known for being a bit crappy anyway and i read somewhere here they upgraded to better ones from oct 2011 onward. i already did a bit of searching and apart from the pumps on older models, the only other regular issue seems to be the automatic cam chain tensioner isnt great so some guys replace with a manual tensioner when the chain starts to get noisy.

other stuff i've found....
fe570 pulled apart at 7600 miles and top end/bottom end/gearbox all were as new

tour group running fe450s and fe570s got 500 hours before putting new rings in them, still using original lower ends, heads and valves. you'd think tour bikes would get thrashed so this sounds like good news...

guy who races fe570s reckons 15000km of enduro use for a rebuild to be on the safe side, or 20000km of dual purpose use. but acknowledges some begs go much further.

i can't find the posts now, but two riders clocked up 20000km and 25000km respectively on 570s and said everything was going fine and no engine work needed.

some guys report hundreds of hours with valves not moving even from new, some say a slight adjustment after running the bike in then no movement for a long long time....

husaberg fe390 fe450 fe570 rebuilds & longevity

bit more info on expected mileage before rebuilds on the 2009+ bergs, thanks to gazza and dustbite.

a bunch of fe390 fe450 and fe570 models used in a tour business. all the bikes have over 40000km up and now have a new cylinder and piston (except for an FE390 still on the stockers!). But the cylinders tend to wear quickly due to being used in very dusty conditions, an on average cylinder & piston were replaced at 15000km.
Most have a new timing chain.
All have been reliable regarding timing chains and intake valves.
The big-end is extremely strong. Same goes for the timing chains, never a broken one (unlike pre 2009 models).

A bunch of FE models raced in rallies, the most done on any one engine was about 10,000km but apparently some 570's did 25,000km before a major rebuild.

reading over on advrider, jimmy lewis from the dirt rider magazine liked the FE570 he tested so much that he didn't give it back and bought it. apparently he took the engine apart at 500 hours just to have a look and minimal wear, nothing needed replacing although he replaced the fuel pump that can be dodgy on earlier models.

:cheers:

on a cautionary note, i've been reading about a guy who seized his FE450. he was slipping the clutch way too much on gnarly hills and all the crap from the shredded plates clogged up one of the filters in the oil line. so a good idea to clean out those two filters if you have been really working the clutch.
