Great video. Well edited and some good info to boot. I just made a deal for a 2010 FE390. I've been dreaming about sweet wheelies since I test rode it 2 days ago. Thanks for putting this together.It sealed the deal for me.
Maroon Devils Network sweet! it will probably have all the usual mods done but here's a checklist i did a few years ago: www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=902781
Thanks for the list. Its well set up only lacking the weep hole mod which I will get to ASAP. I really meant what I said about enjoying your video. I work in the business and found it well produced and very entertaining to watch.
proud owner of 390 2010 radiator fan, exhaust & tank heat insulation, never had problems overheating. So far everything is perfect, except from the fact that it needs a touch of throttle to start when hot(from day one)
yes, mine happened in 200hrs, replaced with a pump from Yamaha Crypton X 125, cost 80euros. Also had the crankshaft sensor replaced and now bike start always first time.
I’m 14 and ride dirt bikes my self a lot I actually ride a crf125 but about a month ago I rode my dads 2012 husaberg fe 450 and omg it has like 5x the power of my bike like geeeeeeeez it sooo quick
Yeah mate thats it, came into my hands today, got the keys in my pocket. just need to head to my local store to pick up some parts and get her ready for boxing day fun!!
congrats alex, sure you'll love it. i'd suggest you've got the decent fuel pump and correct guage fuel filters just to ensure you get the main known issues out of the way.
Bummer. I figure a lot of the parts would be identical to KTM and still around? I was thinking of keeping mine forever, in which case I would have bought piston, rings and other stuff the old KTM RFS parts wouldn't suit.
Can you please tell me if there's any significant differences between the FE450&FE570's ergonomics ie is the seat height higher on the 570 as I'm over 6ft and am a stand up style rider.I had an Rmx450z but found it to low to grip well with legs while standing!
+STGvHaaren1 depends on how hard you ride it and the type of riding too. i took it easy with adventure riding and just did it every 1500km or so as per the dealer's suggestion. but hard core dirt riding you'd probably be looking at 500 to 800km?
hi I've just got into bikes and circumstances land me with a 08 450 fe haven't got much of a clue around maintenance I live in Ireland and be riding in wet mucky grass I like to go out around 3 times a week just taming the beast how should I go about maintenance with oil and filters etc thanks for any help and I'm just new to bikes sorry for sounding stupid lol
too many variables to even begin answering this, adam. all i would add is that a G2 throttle tamer can take the edge of big thumpers and make them more manageable....
Well, I study mechanical engineering for commercial vehicles. Maybe one day I am going to be able to plan such a machine and come up with a newer 70° design. Many parts like suspension, wheels etc. are available on the market. The engine is the most difficult part, but I think it wouldn't be impossibility to take things like the cylinder heat for example form a Kato or a Beta. That would also make the availability for replacement parts much essayer. In the end we`ll what the future comes up with :)
The concept is in the drawer. One day they come out with a new 70°. But actualy the Concern is to successful and dont need a new 70°. Other Brands don't have the Patent. I have a FS570 BlackBeaty , one of the first and love it so much. The Engine is also on Streets so reliable. I Love the Adventure OZ Blogs. Now I'am searching a FE 570 for Adventure.

great video. i have a fx 450 and i HAVE to agree with the hits. another id give, would be if you went out and bought the full akrapovic titanium/carbonfiber exhaust.... big waste of money, a mosquito his that thing its done. super fragile and overly expensive for the few horsepower gains and sound.
that being said. I LOVE MY BIKE, it is so fast and agile. biggest problem is the lack of a rad fan so when i get hung up in gnarly shit it over heats too fast
I'm ready to join the dual sport team and possibly supermoto. looking at a 2010 fe390. the guy mentioned it has around 4k miles doesn't know the hours. is it worthy buy?? it already has a new fuel pump w ifetime warranty, looks like fmf exhuast.supermoto wheels as wheel as dirt set up. is there anything I should look for at that mileage?? and worth the $4,400 price tag?
@@crosstrainingadventure Ima look that up. I’m shopping on a budget and was original looking at wr250r w sumo set up. Drz400sm and saw the husaberg. Just found the fe450 and the fe 570 at a good price. W sumo options. Under 5k. Would u recommend the berg? Reliability wise and power wise I’m going to be dropping it a lot. I’ll look up the beta and see if I can find one in my range.
Then the Ktm 520,525 or 500 enters the room 🤣 I've got a 525, rfs engine, bulletproof reliable and from what I've seen the ktm 500s are faster than these on acceleration, 570s most likely take it on top speed though
I know I'm a year late to the party, but I actually owned one several years ago. Often had carburetor issues, but when it was healthy...wow, there was some power.
Absolutely fantastic! These review videos are top notch!
always good to be reminded of the great decisions you make in life.
thanks!

+toulioss had the fuel pump warning signals at 200 hours, will replace the OEM pump
+toulioss That was a common problem right?

I had a 570,oh baby that bike was awesome,power,agility,mint

Its a monster i know :D i have 450 berg as a supermoto!
looking at bikes I can afford and looks what I find in the archives...nice
In the process of purchasing a '05 Fe 450 Berg!!
+MessyOg i never got to ride one of those but figured it would have to be a revvier version of the 570 and a bit less grunt?
Yeah mate thats it, came into my hands today, got the keys in my pocket. just need to head to my local store to pick up some parts and get her ready for boxing day fun!!
This is an awesome vid. Great footage and great info, thanks.
Great bikes! Some need upgraded fuel pump because the fuel gets hot and locks up oem pump.
Mine did :( ordered a better pump and works like a charm
would agree...best 4stroke to date
It still is 😍
awesome vid.. does it have heavy engine braking ? looking to find one
Plenty of engine breaking! Which I didn't mind as it helped prevent the bike ever flipping while doing wheelies lol.
@@crosstrainingadventure Thanks for your quick reply! love your Vids greetings from old Europe O/
was torn between the Yam wr250r or the husa fe390... mind made up thanks guys! the swedish supermodel is worth the extra $$$!
congrats alex, sure you'll love it. i'd suggest you've got the decent fuel pump and correct guage fuel filters just to ensure you get the main known issues out of the way.
BIG problem is can't get parts

@@crosstrainingadventurerecently I'm seeing lots of FE390, FE450 and FE570 for sale (and with low hours), don't know why or what that would suggest?
excellent video.
Thanks-great vid and write up :-)
Loved it.

I'm strictly talking about the 70degree engined last of the 'real' Husbergs!
identical except for the cc
how is the husaberg with oil changing ? how often does it need to be changed ?

As a novice rider is the 570 a handfull?
too many variables to even begin answering this, adam. all i would add is that a G2 throttle tamer can take the edge of big thumpers and make them more manageable....
Oh man...
I miss the 70° Bergs...
very sad to know there's little chance of them coming out again. :(
Well, I study mechanical engineering for commercial vehicles.
Maybe one day I am going to be able to plan such a machine and come up with a newer 70° design.

@@dereckrodriguez9688 it was so exspensove to make :( i have 70° berg btw ;)

LostEmpires yeah the price on those akros has always stunned me... :-o
i went on ebay and bought a stock slippon for a fe and ill be happy to beat the piss outta that
LostEmpires i just got a lexx pipe for mine, only $230 and worked great... still fairly quiet but derestricted the berg nicely
thanks for the tip man! just cant afford another akr pipe

This vid covered what we know about the Bergs, Derek. If you want something newer, look at the Beta RR390 too. A very sweet engine.

@@crosstrainingadventure also looking for street taggable options
As per previous comment Derek, we've covered what we know about the Bergs in this vid concerning reliability and known issues.
Then the Ktm 520,525 or 500 enters the room 🤣 I've got a 525, rfs engine, bulletproof reliable and from what I've seen the ktm 500s are faster than these on acceleration, 570s most likely take it on top speed though
are there big differences in the weight between the 390 and the 450?
specs show the same weight for 390, 450 and 570.
Thx ;)
What do you think of the 2001 470 husaberg?
never rode one, john 😢
I know I'm a year late to the party, but I actually owned one several years ago. Often had carburetor issues, but when it was healthy...wow, there was some power.
@@apulanta13 Thank you for you comment. I ended up passing on deal.
