Title: 2009 Husaberg 570 Ride Report Post by: Paul Smith on December 26, 2008, 02,23:49 AM 570 Run in Ride
After an anxious wait, the boats trucks and aforlifts had finally done their bit to bring the bikes to the opposite side of the planet on the 23rd. Berg2 and myself loaded up with funds and went to the local dealer (Valley Force Husaberg) ) for a look-see and checkout and assisted wirth personalisation of the PD process. Having got the bikes home that night (10pm) I was keen for a ride the next day but all my riding buddies were too busy! Berg2 was finishing personalising his 570 and my other buddies were heading off for Xmas. Berg2 rang me on xmas day at 8am to tell me that he would sneak out later in the day for a run in ride sometime after 3pm. The game was on! We went out to our usual run in riding area thinking that nobody would be there. Wrong - there was someone else who had the same idea. We proceeded to unload the bikes and get the ride under way. Within the first 300m we knew that we were on something special. The ride out of the car park is steepish rocky hard clay, enough to make most bikes deflect. Not this one. As we got a bit further up the road there were some deep potholes so I figure I'd aim for them and see what happened. Nothing. I tried hitting the edge of the potholes to see if I'd get a kick - still nothing. These things track like they are on rails. Then on the side of the road was a long whooped out track in a bed of woodchip that extended for a km or so. The back went up and down as did the front. This thing was truly as stable as a battleship thanks to some excellent work at the factory. Further into the ride we sought some tight single trail to see what (if any - for the sceptics) difference the 70 degree engine would make. It makes a massive difference. The 570 turns in like a two stoke and the previously mentioned awsome suspension package has you attacking things that you would never have thought possible. The old chassis was a damn fine slider so we thought we better check out what this one was like. Being such a great turner we suspected that it might be a little less stable than the old bikes. Wrong ! This thing is perfectly balanced and has you dialling the amount of slide with your right hand. In summary these bikes do everything right. The suspension is the best by far of ANY bike I have ever ridden. The power is so linear and the suspension is so good that that you will find yourself going way quicker everywhere than you every thought possible. Some snaps for those of you who may be interested.

Title: Re: 2009 Husaberg 570 Ride Report Post by: Ken R on January 06, 2009, 08,57:34 PM Congratulations on your deliveries. The blue rims look better. Whats that stuck on the exhaust pipe? Dont tell me they still make bikes that burn your boots/trousers. Do I detect some rear sprocket size changing?
Title: Re: 2009 Husaberg 570 Ride Report Post by: Brad on January 07, 2009, 10,27:05 AM Peter and Paul,
They are two fantastic machines which I know you guys get the most out of, as per previous Marysville video footage. Showing my age refering to the "Seakers" with no intention other than the pun with name synergy. Cheers, Brad Title: Re: 2009 Husaberg 570 Ride Report Post by: Aaron on January 07, 2009, 09,15:05 PM Million dollar question: Can I have a ride on it?

Cheers, Brad Title: Re: 2009 Husaberg 570 Ride Report Post by: Peter r on November 02, 2009, 05,12:05 AM It's hard to believe that another Year has nearly passed all ready. That's makes my bike an oldy.
Title: Re: 2009 Husaberg 570 Ride Report Post by: Peter r on April 03, 2012, 10,53:11 AM So now i have had the bike for a few years now, here are the problems i have had!!
This excludes Consumables IE: Tyres,oil, Filters, Sprockets, Chains, wheel Bearing etc. I snapped off the oxygen sensor $60.00. "My Fault". Recently a new Water pump Gasket. THAT'S IT !! I like to ride it quickly and it keeps on running well and with about 6k on the clock it's still looking good. What i have done to the Bike: A60 Excel Rims Bull Dog Spokes " Stainless" Pain in the Ass, always busting Spokes on the Drive side. Talon Hubs. KTM PHDS Bar Mount "with the softest rubbers" (Green) Carbon Pipe Guard. Bark Busters. 70 Degree Sub frame Fuel Tank. Installed a new Spongerlating Gongle pod. Hyde Plastic Bash Plate. This bike is serving me well, and i would recommend this bike to anyone who wants a reliable bike that you can ride around on the back wheel for Hours !!! I will write another report this time next year.

Title: Re: 2009 Husaberg 570 Ride Report Post by: Peter r on April 29, 2012, 10,17:46 AM Yes the Rumour is true!!
I have been toying with the idea about a new Berg, and after doing some research and a few Phone calls, i thought it's time to update the Old 570 and step up to the 2012 570. There's not much difference from the 2009 to the 2012 except for the Closed Cartridge Forks, Yellow Frame and a few minor differences. Gay TM have Decided to drop the 70 Degree Motor and Fit the KTM 500 Block for the 2013 Model, so as this will be the last model, it was a no brainer to get one. The new 2012 seems to have a bit more go than the 2009" Not that you need it" and the Closed Cartridge forks are fantastic, as they keep the wheel on the Ground extremely well around rough Corner. I'm still trying to get my head around the new forks as the Bastards won't let go, the 2009 forks are great but the Newies are better than the old ones. The only issue i have with the Bike is the Sticker Kit. "Looks good" but someone forgot the apply the 3M adhesive and used CLAG instead, outta the Box the Stickers were peeling off everything so i decided to rip them off, otherwise the dust n dirt would of done it for me eventually. Husaberg will supply me a new set, but i will keep them in a safe place until they bury me, the Bike & the Sticker Kit. The 2009 FE570 has been a great Bike and i had no trouble with it over the past years, it's done 6.5k and i have heard that someone has done 22k on his without any issues at all. I will put up some Assembly photo's soon. Ride report soon as i get the bike sorted out . Title: Re: 2009 Husaberg 570 Ride Report Post by: Serge C on April 29, 2012, 11,27:31 AM as they keep the wheel on the Ground extremely Well You've never been able to keep the front wheel on the ground!
