– Check the engine oil level. ( p. 71)

– Check the fuel reserves.

InfoThere is no fuel reserve.

– Check the chain tension. ( p. 42)

– Check for chain dirt accumulation. ( p. 42)

– Check the tire condition. ( p. 55)

– Check the tire air pressure. ( p. 55)

– Check the front brake fluid level. ( p. 46)

– Check the rear brake fluid level. ( p. 50)

– Check the front brake linings. ( p. 47)

– Check the rear brake linings. ( p. 51)

– Check the brake system function.

– Check the coolant level. ( p. 67)

– Check the settings of all controls and ensure that they can be operated smoothly.

– Check the functioning of the electrical equipment.

7.2Starting

DangerDanger of poisoning Exhaust gases are poisonous and can result in unconsciousness and/or death.

– When running the engine, always make sure there is sufficient ventilation, and do not start or run the engine in a closedspace without an effective exhaust extraction system.

NoteEngine failure High engine speeds in cold engines have a negative effect on the service life of the engine.

– Always warm up the engine at low engine speeds.

100370-11

– Raise the motorcycle off of the stand and secure the stand with rubber band .

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 26

7.3Starting up

InfoIf your bike has lights, switch them on before riding. You will then be seen earlier by other motorists.When you are riding, the side stand must be folded up and secured with the rubber band.

– Pull the clutch lever, engage 1st gear, release the clutch lever slowly and simultaneously open the throttle carefully.

7.4Shifting, riding

WarningDanger of accidents An abrupt load alterations can cause the vehicle to get out of control.

– Avoid abrupt load alterations and sudden braking actions, and adapt your speed to the road conditions.

WarningDanger of accidents If you change down at high engine speed, the rear wheel can lock up.

– Do not change into a low gear at high engine speed. The engine races and the rear wheel can block.

WarningDanger of accidents Distraction from traffic activity by adjustments to the vehicle.

– Make all adjustments when the vehicle is at a standstill.

WarningDanger of accidents After a fall, check the vehicle.

– After a fall, check the vehicle as usual before putting it into operation.

NoteEngine failure Unfiltered intake air has a negative effect on the service life of the engine.

– Never ride the vehicle without an air filter since dust and dirt can get into the engine and result in increased wear.

InfoIf you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine and contact an authorized HUSABERG work-shop.First gear is used for starting off or for steep inclines.

TipOn difficult terrain, an increased idle speed prevents the engine from stalling unintentionally.

– When conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.), you can shift into a higher gear. To do so, release the throttle while simulta-neously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next gear, release the clutch and open the throttle.

– If you raised the idle speed to start the vehicle, push the idle speed adjusting screw in all the way after the engine warms up.

– When you reach maximum speed after fully opening the throttle, turn back the throttle to about 3/4 of its range. This barelyreduces vehicle speed but lowers fuel consumption considerably.

– Always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle – abrupt throttle opening increases fuel consumption.

– To shift down, brake and close the throttle at the same time.

– Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly and open the throttle or shift again.

– Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.

Guideline

≥ 2 min

– Avoid frequent and longer slipping of the clutch. This heats the engine oil, the engine and the cooling system.

– Ride with a lower engine speed instead of with a high engine speed and a slipping clutch.

– If the FI warning lamp (MIL) starts to light up during the trip, stop immediately. When the engine reaches idle speed, the FI warn-ing lamp (MIL) starts flashing.

InfoFrom the flash rhythm you can deduce a two-digit number, the so-called flash code. The flash code tells you which compo-nent is affected by a fault.

MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE 32

9.1Jacking up the motorcycle

100420-10

NoteDanger of damage The parked vehicle can roll away or fall over.

– Always place the vehicle on a firm and even surface.

– Jack up the motorcycle underneath the engine. The wheels must no longer touchthe ground.

Work stand (81229055000)

– Secure the motorcycle against falling over.

9.2Removing the motorcycle from the work stand

NoteDanger of damage The parked vehicle can roll away or fall over.

– Always place the vehicle on a firm and even surface.

– Remove the motorcycle from the work stand.

– Remove the work stand.

9.3Checking the basic chassis setting with the rider's weight

InfoWhen adjusting the basic chassis setting, first adjust the shock absorber and then the fork.

– For optimal motorcycle riding characteristics and to avoid damage to forks, shock absorbers, swing arm and frame, the basic set-tings of the suspension components must match your body weight.

– As delivered, HUSABERG offroad motorcycles are adjusted for a standard rider weight (with full protective clothing).

Guideline

Standard rider weight 75… 85 kg (165… 187 lb.)

– If your weight is above or below the standard range, you need to adjust the basic setting of the suspension components accord-ingly.

– Small weight differences can be compensated by adjusting the spring preload, but in the case of large weight differences, thesprings must be replaced.

9.4Compression damping of shock absorberThe shock absorber can regulate compression damping separately in the low-speed and high-speed ranges (Dual Compression Control).The terms "low speed" and "high speed" refer to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and not the riding speed ofthe motorcycle.Adjustments in the low-speed range have an impact on the high-speed range and vice versa.

9.5Adjusting the high-speed compression damping of the shock absorber

DangerDanger of accidents The shock absorber is under high pressure.

– The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen, so never dismantle the shock absorber or carry out any main-tenance on it yourself.

InfoThe high-speed setting can be seen during the fast compression of the shock absorber.

CLEANING 79

12.1Cleaning the motorcycle

NoteMaterial damage Damage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment.

– Never clean the vehicle with high-pressure cleaning equipment or a strong water-jet. The excessive pressure can penetrate electri-cal components, connects, Bowden cables, and bearings, etc., and can damage or destroy these parts.

WarningEnvironmental hazard Problem materials cause environmental damage.

– Dispose of oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning substances, brake fluid, batteries, etc. according to regulations.

InfoIf you clean the motorcycle regularly, its value and appearance are maintained over a long period.Avoid direct sunshine on the motorcycle during cleaning.Before cleaning, the intake flange and exhaust system must be protected against contact with water. To protect the intakeflange when the fuel tank is mounted, proceed as follows:

100457-10

– Remove the seat. ( p. 56)

– Remove the air filter.x ( p. 62)

– Close off sleeve of the engine vent and intake trumpet .

– Mount intake flange cover and fix with filter fixing bracket .

Intake flange cover (81206005000)

– Check that all closed openings are clear.

– Install the fuel tank.x ( p. 65)

– Clean the air filter.x ( p. 63)

– Install the air filter.x ( p. 63)

WarningDanger of accidents Reduced braking due to wet or dirty brakes.

– Clean or dry dirty or wet brakes by riding and braking gently.

– After cleaning, ride the vehicle a short distance until the engine warms up, andthen apply the brakes.

InfoThe heat produced causes water at inaccessible positions in the engine andthe brakes to evaporate.

Page 82: FE570EU FE570AUS 2009 - jbsracingpage.co.uk Owners... · owner'smanual fe450eu fe450aus fe450usa fe570eu fe570aus fe570usa 2009 art.no.3802014en

CLEANING 80

– Push back the protection covers on the handlebar instruments to allow water toevaporate.

– After the motorcycle has cooled off, oil or grease all moving parts and bearings.

– Clean the chain. ( p. 42)

– Treat bare metal parts (except for brake discs and exhaust system) withanti-corrosion materials.

Cleaning and polishing materials for metal, rubber and plastic ( p. 93)

– Treat all painted parts with a mild paint polish.

High-luster polish for paint ( p. 93)

(FE EU, FE AUS)– Lubricate the steering lock.

PROTECTION FOR WINTER OPERATION 81

13.1Protection for winter operation

InfoIf you use the motorcycle in the winter, you can expect to encounter salt on the roads. Precautions need to be taken againstroad salt corrosion.If the vehicle has been used on salted roads, clean it with cold water. Warm water intensifies the effects of salt.

– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 79)

– Treat the engine, swingarm and all other bare or galvanized parts (except the brake discs) with a wax-based anticorrosive.

InfoAvoid getting anticorrosive on the brake discs: this would badly affect the braking.After riding on salted roads, thoroughly wash the motorcycle with cold water and dry it well.

– Clean the chain. ( p. 42)

Page 84: FE570EU FE570AUS 2009 - jbsracingpage.co.uk Owners... · owner'smanual fe450eu fe450aus fe450usa fe570eu fe570aus fe570usa 2009 art.no.3802014en

STORAGE 82

14.1Storage

WarningDanger of poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.

– Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse immedi-ately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed, con-tact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel. Store fuel in a suitable canister accordingto regulations and keep it out of the reach of children.

InfoIf you want to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, take the following steps.Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs or replacements are necessary, youshould do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at thestart of the new season.

– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 79)

– Change the engine oil and oil filter, clean the engine oil screen.x ( p. 72)

– Check the antifreeze and coolant level. ( p. 66)

– Check the tire air pressure. ( p. 55)

– Remove the battery.x ( p. 56)

– Recharge the battery.x ( p. 58)

Guideline

Storage temperature of battery without direct sunlight. 0… 35 °C (32… 95 °F)

– The storage place should be dry and not subject to large temperature fluctuations.

InfoHUSABERG recommends jacking up the motorcycle.

– Jack up the motorcycle. ( p. 32)

– Cover the motorcycle with a porous sheet or blanket. Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping,thus causing corrosion.

InfoAvoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water vapor produced duringcombustion condenses and causes valves and exhaust system to rust.

14.2Putting into operation after storage– Remove the motorcycle from the work stand. ( p. 32)

– Install the battery.x ( p. 57)

– Refuel. ( p. 27)

– Make checks before putting into operation. ( p. 25)

STANDARDS 95

JASO T903 MADifferent technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles – the JASO T903 MA Standard. Ear-lier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specifi-cation. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the fore-ground for motorcycle engines. With most motorcycles, the gearbox and the clutch are lubricated with the oil as the engine. The JASOMA Standard meets these special requirements.

SAEThe SAE viscosity classes were defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers and are used for classifying oils according to their vis-cosity. The viscosity describes only one property of oil and says nothing about quality.
