hot

For those who ride slow technical stuff of sometimes sit in traffic, I highly recomment wrapping your exhaust with a thermal insulating wrap. I wraped mine with a DEI 1" wide wrap and SS ties. Then painted with the silicone spray. The reason for this started when I shot the engine case and...

Went for a long ride today Had trouble restarting bike twice after stalling and not getting it to fire on first try Not a battery issue as it turns over normally, just doesnt fire One time I was at the top of a big hill and tried to bump start it for about a 1/4 mile with no result Both times...

hottest day i have ridden yet, maybe 90F, and hottest i have seen my 2010 fe450 get has gotten me a little concerned. after about 8 miles technical woods/open sidehill trail, I stopped to consider a branch not yet ridden. I noticed bike was making boiling sounds in the radiator. I let it rest...

I have just bought a 2005 fs650e which has a full akrapovic system and whilst letting it warm up i noticed the header pipes were glowing orange ? Do all 650's do this ? This would suggest the bike is running very lean so I have tried to richen up the setting on the carb but had very little...

Have noticed during my first two races that when she's good and hot, the clutch makes a whizzing noise when I disengage. Am running Rotella T6 oil, full synthetic 5W 40. It's a favorite here in the states, but I do wish it were available with higher "numbers" since the manual recommends full...

Just did a carb clean and leaned out the pilot jet 2 sizes and richened up the needle one clip. the bike starts much better. 02 fe400. I Was doing a late night oil change and just noticed the headers glowing red. First time the bike has ran at night so not sure if it is normal or not. This is...

just started the bike up at -10*c today to see how it would start, surprisingly it didnt labor to crank and started up no problem. my question is if anyone has noticed their head pipe get red hot? it was allready dark out when i started the bike up and let it run for 10min to warm up the exhaust...

Ok, tried the other 570 starting issues treads, but did'nt find any like my prob. The case is: When pressing the starter button, the starter tryes to make the engine roll, maks about 1 turn, and stops, the battery Volt drops from 13V to 4-5V.. Thougth that maby my battery was dead, so tested...

Hey guys , I have a 2010 FE 570 and it starts fine until bike gets hot, then will not turn over at all , until 10 minutes and then cools down , i had even put a new battery in and did not help :roll: :roll: :roll:

I have had some dramas restarting my 09 570 the last couple of rides. It always fires first time when cold but there seems to be a theme developing that the bike will not start when it gets really hot. It has a brand new Yuasa battery fitted, that showed as putting out just under 14v at idle...

All the factory blue bits are hot...I'm in love. But about 20k retail in aus. 8O

I am a pround new owner of a 09 570. I am loving the first 5 hours i have been able to ride. The only thing is that i find is it runs very hot. In general just very hot. I can feel the heat through my boots. Even firing it up for a moment in the garage the exhuast and motor are flesh burning...

Hey guys i have a 2010 fe 570 with 600km on it. When it gets hot i start to drain the battery after two to three pushes of the start button the battery is flat or so it seems. I let it sit for about 10 - 15 minutes and the battery fires the bike up again. This has happened on the last two rides...

Hello. Im hoping someone can help. My 501 starts easy as anything when cold, but when hot it simply will not go... Unless you crank the throttle wide open and kick it like you want to kill it. And with my fitness, in a race that is half impossible. I have never needed to use the choke on my...

Hey guys, just picked up a 2010 390 on thursday and took it for a break in/ shake down ride last night. The bike is absolutely amazing but when it gets hot the motor knocks pretty loud.If i stop and let it cool down it goes away but as soon as it gets hot again it knocks and it is only at idle...

Greetings folks, I'm having some trouble restarting my bike when hot. Kickstarting finally works when cold (albeit not properly adjusted yet, still takes it's time to get going). When hot the kickstarter just seems to "fall through" most of the time, i.e. I get it to tdc or just past as usual...

Just went to a dealer,to get map reflashed ,which is now done, reason for flash,he claimed the standard maps have been modified to resolve the Hot-start problem or should i say the hot-start,not-start-problem. ] With my bike when hot, it was definately on the button once,for 0.5 sec, to get a...

I looked to see if there was a comparison or discussion about this and didn't find it. My seaching skills may be lacking. I am contemplating picking up a case of 10/60 AGIP full synthetic for hot summer riding. Ok, hot is all relative, especially for you Aussies. I'm saying 85 - 90 + F for...

I have a husaberg FC550 SM with a keihin FCR41mm on it. Cold it starts like a charm (2 kicks, no choke needed), but when hot i almost cant start it... Anyone have some tips for me? I have checked my valves by the 1/6th turn method and will post my carb settings tonight. I also have a Sparks...
