husaberg fs 570 "project"

Hey! What mounting kit did you use when installing the Vapor? I'm also kinda wanting a better computer that shows revs and coolant temps. Looks like in your pics that it fits just barely in there where the stocker was.

I was afraid to bite the bullet and get the vapor, but it needs to be mounted in stock location so I can fit steering damper also. :idea:

E: Also how wide is that oem handlebar?! I see that you can install those zeta handguards without interfering with headlight mask. I have pro taper EVO with carmichael bend 800mm wide and zeta handguards. I can't fit those same handguards without removing the mask so that oem bar needs to be at least 850-900mm wide. I bent my oem bar and threw it in the trash bin so thats why I'm asking. :D
 
I didn't use any mounting kit for my vapor but made a custom bracket out a piece of metal (cut in shape so it fits just inside the stock bracket and drill holes where the rubber mounts are for stock speedo)
I have drilled 2 more holes for the threads inside vapor dash mounted the vapor so it is just touching the headlight mask in the 2 corners but it's not puhing on the mask :)
Together wit the HID conversion there' a lot of junk behind/under my mask but I have just enough room to fit everything in place inch perfect :p

My bars are approx 815mm wide (stock)
 
Thanks. :cheers:

Will put order on cyclebuy.com for vapor, fastway evolution air pegs and some other small bits. Won't dare to get the Ohlins damper yet as it's ~$650. 8O
 
I am realy happy with the stock suspension/brakes of the fs570 :)
my 08 fs650 was good to but I replaced the master cilinder with a beringer BRO and beringer floating rotor for better feel/track performance do'nt feel the need to change anything on the 570.
the suspension is good to now I have found a good setup 8) (had a lot more trouble getting the 650 sorted out chattering front end in some corners)
 
You sure you have a stock suspension? 8O

I got mine revalved quite fast because I could not get rid of front end diving and ride height was too high.
Brakes I upgraded to Beringer BRO10 master and Beringer rotor, stock Magura 4 piston radial still as I think the caliper is really good. Now the brakes have super smooth feeling in them, and long gone is the wooden feel of Magura master / braking rotor.

I still think the suspension needs some fine tuning done to it. Maybe add tad more preload on forks and check sag then. Rear shock static sag was 25mm, but didn't measure rider sag. :oops:

I found this from renthal the specs from my (stock) bars are 827-01 in the list :wink: as you can see compared to other type of bars/bends big control area making it easy to install handguards:

Ahh now I see! 222mm vs 180mm on my pro taper. 8O

Thats why my headlight mask covers the left handguard bolt. Should have known better, but I still love my new pro taper. Had Factory Suzuki / KTM stock bend before and quite much hated it. Was narrow and really sharp high bend with not much sweep.

I have only done 1 and a half trackdays with it and so far think it's fine I lost the front end once without any warning on my 1st session of 1st trackday wich cost me some confidence in the front end braking into corners but mid corner/straight line hard braking or accelerating out of corners the bike realy feels GREAT 8)
I'm planning on doing some more trackdays next year and I will see how happy I feel about it after a few trackdays might get springspecialist work done to it after next winter because It wouldn't hurt to service the schock/forks anyway small extra amount of cash to get some other springs in it and adjusted to my weight.
Now the springs are a bit to hard for me (+- 10/15kg but it feels fine to me after using the softer comfort settings from the manual) I only weigh 62kg :mrgreen:
 
62kg 8O

That bike must fly you on it. Add 24kg to that and it's close to my weight. I think I need stiffer springs but will see when I get to measure rider sag both front and rear.

One word of caution, if you run dot street tires on it and ride fast pace on track you are bound to loose the front end often. I tried the stock Mich pilot sports and Pirelli diablo supercorsas, and while they were ok on street I found them to be really scary on track a few times. Trail braking made them to wash out almost every time and braking on the sand was joke. Once I tried pure SM slicks michs pilots and Dunlop KR106's I'm not going back to street tires on track.

Good wheels and tires transforms the bike into a completely different animal.
 
yeah loved those kr dunlops on my 650 :D But they are hard to find for a decent price damn expensive tyres :cuss: :mrgreen:
I crashed using a supercorsa sc1 (old pattern) should be e good tire.
I still have an old pirelli superbike front slick in my shed I used on my zx6r that I'm planning to use for 1/2 trackdays on the berg :mrgreen:
For the rear I got a brand new maxxis pre cut slick (road legal) laying around.
Not THE best tryes but I'l start from there :lol:
If I do'n like the front slick I throw it away after the 1st day and try another tyre next time :)
I felt I had enough grip on the rear with very narrow 150/60 supercorsa (not even an sc) so the bigger 160 maxxis should be better (atleast I hope :roll: )
 
I think the low weight on front end on these things is making sport bike tires not the best choice for fast riding.
When I compared the softness on dot street tire and kr106 dunlop, the dunlop felt like chewing gum compared to SC pirelli. :mrgreen:

Sidewall strength seems a bit different also, but don't know does that make a big difference.
 
I took an angle grinder and shaved those "not for highway use" letters off the sidewall. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

-another 1.5kg :mrgreen:
 
My Shorai is ~650g, but it's the bigger 14Ah version. The smaller might be another 100g lighter or so.
Thats a lightweight battery you also got. :cheers:
 
this one has equal power compared to stock only +10 cca (140vs 130).
I did have to use 2 spacers to get same height making it 600gr compared to 2080gram stock
 
Now that you mentioned it I also had to use some foam pads to up the height, so the terminals were close enough to put leads back on. Maybe it's 700g now. :mrgreen:
 
handguards/axle sliders/Hid kit/frame protectors/dna filter add more than 1.5kg to the bike so the lithium battery is a must :lol:
The fmf pipe is only 0.5kg lighter than stock and alpina's = -2.5kg approx so the bike is only 2-3kg's lighter than stock my (very un accurate scale) weight the bike at 125kg fully fueled with alpina's I think it's a few kg's lighter than that...
 
How much those Alpinas weight without tires?

2.5kg less than stock wheels and stock wheels are damn light?? :shock:

I must weight my Excels when I get them laced back together and with the tubeless mod done. My Beringer rotor is approx 500g heavier than stock Braking rotor. I have yz450f Alpinas with tires on them so I might scale them also, but they are not carbon matrixes.
 
Yes the weight difference compared to stock wheel is huge 8O
I weight both wheelsets naked without bolts/disc/sprockets:
-frontwheel hsb 4.47kg vs 3.4kg alpina
-rearwheel hsb 6.1kg vs 4.78kg alpina
complete wheelset hsb 10.9kg
copmlete wheelset alpi 8.2kg = 2.7kg lighter! the rear hub/hub carier stock is very heavy with cush drive etc
So even with a bigger rear tyre on the back rim the rear wheel still is almost 1kg lighter compared to stock 8)

Alpina claims there carbo wheel are +30% lighter compared to stock and there other non carb tubeless wheels are the same weight compared to other wheelsets except withou tube is lighter but stock wheel are also without tube...
But if you lose the cush drive the wheels will definetley be lighter :)
