So after having my big 570 berg for a while and getting annoyed with how to change the rotary map switch settings i thought surely i could make something simple and effective. So after digging around my workshop and the electronics store i came up with the following. It was quite inexpensive...

Hi all, I have just converted my standard subframe into a tank on my 2010 fe450everything is nice and fuel tight . My question is when I fill main tank rear tank fills quite quick and once the levels equlize fuel is pushed into the vent line up to the fuel cap level. Once fuel is burned off...

My bikes currently broke with an electrical issue and I'm having to rely on forum members for assistance. I'm not the best with electrics but I have managed to make a pretty decent rear thumb brake. So I thought I'd share what little I can! I decided to fit the thumb brake as my right foot with...

I'm 6'2" and the bike has always felt very cramped for me. The pegs are much higher than I was used to on my old bike so this really put a lot of pressure on my bad knee. Seriously, I limped around for a week after getting into some frequent Summer riding just from having my knee bent so...

Hi. Just thought I'd post a few pics of my diy catch tank. This cos me £6 and took me about half hour. I got the tank from eBay, I had to drill the bottom and screw in 3/8 hose tale. This works great ☺

I am going to make myself some leg stabilizers to try to combat my arm pump issues. I find myself needing to sit often due to tired arms and hands. I have bar risers but they aren't doing the trick either. There are some commercially available options such as: STEGZ Moto Technologies -...

Hi, Who's had any experience fitting a radiator fan onto these models? I am trying to get away with this as cheap as possible, and have considered trying out PC fans etc. But am struggling to find much information on the topic... Has anyone done this themselves using a KTM fan, or...

Always wanted the pegs a lower as I've never come near bashing the bottom and would appreciate the extra space, lower C of G for the slow technical stuff that I like and I don't like the idea of spending $35CDN per mm on a Pro Moto Fastway pegs... I'll let you know how they work... The...

I need to change all the bottom end bairings on my fe400 big end, little end and main crank bairings, is it possible to do this myself? I have access to a press, but not much more bike related equipment. Is balancing essential? I'm doing the bearings then selling it, I've had enough of it now...

Hello, as the 70 degree subframe tanks are not available anymore, I wonder if somebody tried to do one from the original subframe, making it fuel tight? If yes, I would be interested to have some advices and information thanks

I had switched to a 17" wheel on my 11 FE570s and the mph was WAY off. Luckily, our 'wheel speed' calibration is adjustable. 1. Pull the headlight shroud and disconnect the 3 prong connection from the dash unit 2. Hit the o button until H is seen on the lower right 3. Hold down the o button...

blew the budget buying the love of my life so always interested in cheap arse mods. i was interested in the stegz pegz in particular as these middle aged fingers take a few days to recover after a solid day's ride. not to mention arm pump... credit to bowser over at dirt bike world for his...

After talking to some people on the forum I decided to build my own fan kit. I took pictured and wrote down the steps in case someone else wanted to wire their own.

The mad NAHA style hillclimb bikes almost all use 6-8 stainless self tappers each side through the rim into the tyre bead as rimlocks. Ive seen this setup firsthand handle 160RWHP driving 16 and 19 paddle scat track dominator tyres with bolts in deep sand. Im using this idea on my rear...

After spending hours searching for the right components, risking few hundreds of $ for stocking them, and then having the headache of selling them (running to FedEx every couple of days) I decided to give up. It just too much work for too small profit. Therefore, I'm rolling the ball to...

Im going to attempt to fit a DIY hotstart to my Dellorto. I have some 6mm tube and a tap type thing but I was wondering how you attach the tube/pipe to the manifold? Ta John
