Shop parts for a 2009 Husaberg FE570 Dirt Bike.
Keeping your 2009 Husaberg FE570 running at peak performance starts with a clean and well-maintained air filter. The FE570 is a high-compression (11.8:1), fuel-injected, off-road beast tailored for demanding conditions, making regular air filter maintenance critical for engine longevity and sustained power delivery. Below, MotoSport outlines a step-by-step proprietary process for air filter care, replacement, and unique FE570 considerations.
Why Air Filter Maintenance is Essential for the FE570
- Unique engine design: The FE570's 70-degree forward-tilted engine optimizes its center of gravity, drawing in air aggressively and making the air filter a front-line defense against dust and debris.
- High compression & fuel-injection: Clean airflow is crucial for the sensitive fuel-injection system and maintaining the FE570's impressive torque and throttle response.
Recommended Cleaning Interval
- Inspect your air filter after every ride in dusty or wet conditions.
- For recreational riding, clean the air filter every 2-3 rides.
- Always inspect before any race or extended ride.
Tools & Supplies
- Gloves
- Foam air filter cleaner
- Foam air filter oil
- Clean rags or paper towels
- Bucket or sink
- Sealing grease (optional)
- MotoSport replacement filter (if needed)
Step-by-Step Proprietary MotoSport Air Filter Cleaning Process
- Remove the Seat:
- Utilize the quick-release seat design – remove the rear seat bolt and lift off.
- Access and Remove Air Filter:
- Unclip the airbox cover, carefully extract the filter holding the filter frame and avoid dirt falling into the intake tract.
- Inspect the Airbox:
- Wipe the airbox with a damp rag to remove debris before reinstalling a clean filter.
- Clean the Filter:
- Apply foam filter cleaner, massage thoroughly, rinse in warm water. Repeat until water runs clear. Do not use gasoline – it can damage the foam and glue bonds.
- Allow to fully dry before oiling. Never wring or twist – squeeze to remove water.
- Oil the Filter:
- Pour quality foam filter oil evenly, massage it in, ensure all foam is covered for maximum protection but avoid oversaturation.
- Reinstall:
- Apply sealing grease around the filter base (optional for extreme dust), reinstall on filter frame, position in the airbox, and firmly clip shut the airbox cover.
- Replace the Seat:
- Secure the seat and verify properly fastened.
When to Replace the Air Filter
- If tears, splits, or worn spots are found on the foam or seams, replace immediately.
- If persistent dust bypass is evident inside the intake after filter servicing, switch to a new filter from MotoSport for optimal protection.
FE570-Specific Owner Notes
- The FE570's compact engine and unique angled design mean air passes over the filter at a steep angle, increasing dirt accumulation – be vigilant for clogging after dusty rides.
- The fuel-injection system can be sensitive to even minor dirt contamination – air filter neglect can lead to misfires or erratic performance.
- Original filter frame and rubber grommet ensure a tight seal – always check for a positive fit following reinstallation.
- Due to the FE570's off-road intent, an extra pre-oiled filter carried in a sealed bag can be a smart strategy for multi-day rides or races.
Expert Tip
Always clean your hands before handling the freshly cleaned filter. Oils from your skin can degrade filter efficiency over time.
