I purchased a 2011 FE570 and the fuel pump went out twice before the dealer replaced it. Check your bikes date of manufacture on the frame. My bike as mfg 09/2010 and it still had the old fuel pump. Other than that it has been fantastic.

I'd reccomend a DJH cam chain tensioner, or a Dirt Tricks cam chain tensioner. There is a known issue with the stock cam chain tensioner collapsing and allowing slack in the cam chain. This at the very least can be noisy and sound like a knock coming from the engine, and at the worst, can result in the bike jumping time under the right circumstances.

The fule pump issue is really beat to death on this site. I don't know about that because at 67 hours on the bike, I've had zero issues with my fuel pump. Maybe that is because I almost immediately installed the Can-Am fuel injection filter in the fuel line. So far I've had zero trouble with the fuel pump.

As far as need to fix, that's probably all the need to's I can think of. If you ride at night, the headlamp sucks. I added a Vision X Solstice unit to my bike and now I can see at night too. 8)

Unless you are doing flat out desert racing, you will almost certainly eventually decide to gear it down. The 14/42 sprocket combination is a 3.00 final drive, and that's very high. As delivered the bike will do over 100 mph. I I don't know about you, but I have no intention of ever riding a dirt bike at anything close to that speed. As delivered, the bike will not crawl uphill at 5 mph - it'll die. Ride it for a while and decide, but I think I know your future.

I have a 2011 FE450, not a FE570, but I just discovered the hard way, that there is a generic design problem with the OEM clutch slave cylinder, definitely with the 2009 through 2011, and any KTM models that use the same slave clutch P/N 75032061044. It is a basic design problem, the clutch piston has only one O-ring, the piston wobbles, and the O-ring leaks. Check the hydraulic reservoir level every ten hours and top up as necessary. Otherwise you end up with no clutch control.

I have ordered the Sigutech clutch slave cylinder from KTM Twins to hopefully solve this issue.

Cheers,

Blaine

Blaine,
Where's you order your new clutch slave from? Got a link?

Hi Russ,

This is link for the one that fits the 2011 FE450. Just email Ron at KTM Twins if you have any questions.

Hello Blaine

Yeah it sure does. You will want to order the 690 version which fits all KTM dirtbikes and the 690's. Coincidentally much to your knowledge many of the same parts fit the Husabergs. We are not sure if the news of this retro fit is out there with the Husaberg riders but it's the only upgraded Billet Slave Cylinder available for the KTM dirtbikes and the Husabergs so if your friends have those bikes please let them know about the upgrade.

Hello Sales,

Does one of the Sigutech billet clutch slave cylinder you stock fit a Husaberg 2011 FE450?

The Husaberg / KTM part number from the parts breakdown is 75032061044.

Thanks,

Blaine

Cody,

Another thing you might want to look at is the rear fender. A lot of people have identified that the rear fender will get snagged by the nobs of the rear tire when the rear suspension is near full compression. I was kind of doubful about that, but took precautions anyway. I mounted my license plate horizontally, and there was roughly an inch of fender protruding below the edge of the plate. I cut off the excess, and rounded what remained.

It was a good thing that I did! Yesterday I took what I thought was a very moderate ride, and when I got back home I noted that the bottom of the license plate had been bent inward. Evidently it had gotten snagged by the rear tire, and it would likely have been a lot worse if the fender had been full length. So like the Dirt Rider testers did, I heated up the rear fender with a heat gun and recoutoured it so that it doesn't angle down toward the tire. I hope that's enough.
