Hi!
I am building a bike based on a half-destroyed FE501, just finished repairing the frame and suspension and put in the new engine (it is a 125 two stroke). Dont worry, the original engine was total toast, a valve broke off and made some party in the cylinder finding its final resting place...
I have a fuel tank off a 2009 570.
Bulkhead fitting was leaking and I didn't want to mess with it.
Some of the bulkhead threads were no longer there, making it impossible to tighten the screws.
I assume someone could repair it, add an insert or otherwise.
Best offer if you want it, get it...
i have an old 02 470 with taffy's FCR jetting pretty much.....and ive got a notion to take it out into the desert around Moab. what do you think my range would be plodding along in 4th gear or so on fire road type terrain? also any ideas where i could source a big tank or an auxiliary tank?
Looking for some possible help here, I'm the original owner of a FX450, which developed a hard to no start problem. Now it's no start after sitting for a year.
Drained gas, nope
Valves, nope.
Spark Plug, nope.
Battery, nope.
Replaced the fuel pump (3nd one) nope.
It's...

found this in the pile of stuff I bought:
i have tried to put it on my old 1998 FE600e i have here but unless the exhaust is altered...I don't think so!
But i reckon it might be off a quad?
it has a curved underside and two screw holes separated enough near that curve to say 'inner mudflap'...
Having issues with TPS or so it seams. FI light flashes 6 short and 2009 570fe bogs intermittently, sometimes completely stalls. problem comes and goes, have replaced my TPS and have set with multi-meter. runs fantastic for a while then problem always comes back. Any suggestions?
The good news is that my subframe tank is now fixed. Dont ask how yet, i'll try to do a write-up when its properly tested. The bad news is that somwhere during the process the fuel line that connects the two tanks has been lost. The one that has the qick-connect in the middle and that is shaped...
FE450 2009 somehow breaths fuel inside the airbox.
There is also little fuel in motor oil.
Any idea where I should start working this problem?
Its not a leakage for sure.
Thanks for help!
G'day all,
I have spoken to Force Accessories about a tank/plate to suit the 70 deg berg.
I have one fitted to my 570 that carries 2 litres as it was a water tank but I want to carry some fuel and more of it. This is an ideal spot to carry fuel being nice and low and these bikes having the...
Hi all,
Have a '09 FE450 which wont start:
1. Checked spark - seems ok (have not removed plug, just checked on engine casing)
2. Checked fuel pump - pumps fuel OK (have not checked pressure but it primes & pumps when removed from tank)
3. Checked injector (removed & cleaned, can see it...
It has been happening like a thick fog now for some time, you just plough on and get the job done but I recently fitted a sprucwe up kit to a dell orto 409mm carb and to get thew float arms right I had to bend them up.
I have noticed this before and not thought too much of it but a job this...
Hello,
I am new to this so go easy!
My cousin bought a 2015 FE 450 on Saturday, it had done 50 miles from new, anyways drives it back (less than 300 miles now) all good.
Next day spotted it had been leaking, so he's started looking and took out the air filter and it looks like a mix...
My 09 fe450 runs fine from cold but when when it gets hot (Boiling rads hot) it starts to stall in low revs, like the kill switch has been hit for 1-2 seconds starts to die in low revs.
Today when out and the bike was warmish I stopped and it would not restart for about 30 seconds just had...
Hi all
I've tried searching the forum for my answer without any luck, so I'll try a new post :)
I'm having the fuel pump going bad and I have now ripped the complete fuel system out of the tank. I'm wondering is there is some way I could "bench-test" the regulator while I'm at it to see that...
FI warning light has been coming on after running bike for a few seconds for the past several months
Bike runs fine
Pump whirrs up normally on contact
Original pump was replaced shortly after purchasing bike in 2011 when it began stalling
No issues since
Bike is pretty stock other than 70...
Hi all, took my carb (FCR 39) off to change the jets as a couple were wrong.
Adjusted the float as found this was wrong too and set it to 9mm??
Put it all back together and now have fuel in the intake boot so adjusted the float back to see if that sorted it but still filled up! Could anyone...
Hi
This is the carb in my 1997 FE400
It's a VHSB flat side
By the locaition of the mix screw it should be a air screw correct ?
Meaning that turning in will enrich it and out will lean it ?
Thanks
Nuno
Hi
Anybody know where I can get a Zip-ty racing fuel filter from online in Australia.
I want to do without the little inline filter up near the injector as its a pain in the ass to get at.
I seen a video on the zip-ty filter and it looks like the best way to go.
Cheers
