Hi everyone. I just picked up my new 2010 FE390 on Saturday. I'm installing the usual rad guards, fan kit, handguards etc.
I've read the issues others have had with tank gunk, so before running my bike I removed the tank to rinse it out with clean gas. But I heard from another Berg owner that even the dealership running the bike during its PDI setup is enough to jam up the fuel filter with tank goo. I would imagine the shop probably let it run for 5-10 minutes, and a gave it a few revs. Any thoughts on whether I should replace the fuel filter already?
Also, the manual doesn't seem to indicate a bleed screw for the coolant. I was going to use the highest bolt on the water pump and just squeeze the lines a bit. Is this correct, or did I miss some mention of the bleed screw or proper burping technique?
The bike is a treat to work on so far. Everything seems to be well thought out in terms of allowing room for access.
Thanks for your help. This site and the wealth of openly shared knowledge convinced me to buy the Husaberg. It IS getting expensive though, as I ended up buying a new take-off wheelset with rotors plus an Aqualine tank even before I brought the bike home.
Now to stare at the snow and will it to melt.....
