2011 fe390

I have had a 2011 FE390 for almost 2 years. I bought it with 119 hours on it. I love this bike! Things to watch for are whether or not the fuel pump works when hot. Some models up to 2011 had a fuel pump that simply stopped working when it got hot. A few fuel pump fixes it IF you even have the problem. Also, the 70 degree bikes tend to run hot, esp if its a warm day and you are moving slowly. Most owners install a fan on the right side radiator. It also helps to use an additive like "Wetter Water" (other brands are similar - ask at your local bike shop). This helps transfer heat from the engine to the coolant. My FE390 also has the TUbliss tire system - see TUbliss Motorcycle Dirt Bike Traction Tires Tubeless. I run around 8psi and still have protection from pinch flats, rim protection, etc. Worth the price - see the videos at the website. Have fun and enjoy one of the best bikes ever! - Jack Wallace, Durango, CO
