The air filter on your 2010 Husaberg FE570 plays a critical role in engine protection and performance, especially given this model's high-performance characteristics and unique intake routing. Keeping the filter clean and properly oiled not only extends engine life but also preserves throttle responsesomething every FE570 owner values on the trail, track, or open terrain.
Why Filter Maintenance Matters on the 2010 Husaberg FE570
- Unique Airbox Design: The FE570 uses a central air intake and under-seat airbox, which can make filter access and installation slightly different compared to typical motocross bikes.
- Vulnerability to Dust: The open nature of the airbox and potential for ingesting more dirt means filter maintenance should be done more frequently, especially if you ride in dusty or sandy conditions.
- Performance Sensitivity: The FE570's advanced EFI and large-displacement engine will suffer if airflow is restricted by a clogged filter.
Tools & Supplies
- Clean rags and latex/nitrile gloves
- Catch tray or cleaning tub (dedicated for filter use)
- Biodegradable or petroleum-based filter cleaning solution (match to your filter oil type)
- Contact cleaner for cleaning cage & airbox seals
- Filter-specific oil (spray or liquid)
- Replacement air filter (for swapping between rides)
Removing the Air Filter
- Remove the seat to access the centrally-located air filter. On the FE570, this process is quick with the simple seat latch under the rear fender.
- Carefully detach the filter from the airbox tabs and cage. Avoid dropping debris into the intake.
- Inspect the filter for tears, excessive dirt, or oil breakdown. If damaged, replace immediately.
Cleaning the Air Filter
- Gently remove the filter from its cage. Note the position, as proper reinstall is crucial.
- Using the appropriate cleaning solution, fully submerge and massage the filter until dirt and old oil are removed. Don't use gasoline; this breaks down filter glue and foam integrity.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Squeeze – do not twist – to remove excess liquid. Let air-dry completely, away from direct sunlight.
- Clean the filter cage, airbox sealing surfaces, and airbox itself with a contact cleaner and a lint-free rag.
Oiling & Reinstalling the Air Filter
- Apply a generous amount of air filter oil, working it evenly through the foam. Coverage should be complete, but avoid excess dripping.
- Allow oil to "tack up" for several minutesthis helps trap dust and ensures a proper seal.
- Remount the filter to the cage, aligning with tabs, and verify a consistent, tight seal against the airbox flange.
- Wipe any excess oil away from mating surfaces.
- Replace the seat, ensuring a secure fit.
Replacement Interval – Expert Tips
- Inspect and clean after every long ride or racesometimes more often in extreme dust or after water crossings.
- Always have a spare clean, oiled filter ready for quick swaps to minimize downtime.
- Consider opening the top or right side of the airbox for increased airflow, as some FE570 owners do, but be sure to match with even more frequent filter maintenance due to amplifed dust intake.
What Makes the 2010 FE570 Airbox Unique
- The airbox is known for effective airflow but can accumulate fine dust rapidly due to its unconventional positioning. Proper fitment and sealing of the filter are especially crucial on this model.
