FE570 for 2nd year running.
Have not read the article yet as a mate and I share the mag and it's his subscription so he gets it's first.
But there was one negative that was in the report, and that was the FE570 has one fault, and thats the starter motor torque convertor. Quite ironic since I still had my bike on the trailer coming back from the dealers getting that very same problem attended to.
It's the hot start issue. Initially my dealer suspected that it was the cam chain decomp set up as they had one previous bike with same symptoms that mine had. So Husaberg OZ did a warranty claim on it and replaced it. But me very next ride when the bike got hot I had the same starting problems. So the dealer rang the importers and apparently the very same symptoms are found with the starter motor torque convertor.
Parts arrived from Austria a few days ago, so they were fitted to my bike today. I will have to wait a few weeks before I can really test her out (my 4th kid due any minute now) and fingers crossed that they had nailed the prob.
Has any one else experienced this problem ? and did the torque convertor fix it ?
My concern is if it is the torque convertor, will all bike eventually have this problem ? or just the odd one or two out there. Did they replace it with the same unit or is it an updated better convertor ? I would hate to have this problem appear down the track after warranty period is over, because it's a pain in the butt. But I must admit, my dealer along with Husaberg Australia have been very good in dealing with it, so I am not complaining about the service I am getting.
