Your 2011 Husaberg FE570 demands top-tier care, especially when it comes to air filter maintenance. Clean air is essential to keep your powerful motor running at peak performance, prevent engine wear, and maximize the bike’s impressive off-road capabilities.
Below you’ll find MotoSport’s exclusive step-by-step guide for cleaning and replacing the air filter – with notes specific to the FE570 and best practices for Husaberg performance.
Tools & Supplies Needed
- OEM-style or Twin Air filter cleaning kit (biodegradable or petroleum-based, depending on the filter oil)
- Plastic/rubber gloves
- Contact cleaner (for airbox and sealing surfaces)
- Clean, lint-free rags
- Sealing grease (recommended for rim of filter)
Key Note for FE570 Owners
- The FE570’s airbox design permits high airflow; many riders open the top and right side of the airbox for increased performance. If your airbox has been modified for airflow, perform inspections and cleaning more frequently, as the filter may get dirtier faster –especially in dusty conditions.
- Use care when removing the filter as the intake system is exposed directly once the filter is out.
Step-by-Step: Cleaning Your FE570 Air Filter
- Remove the seat. Access the air filter under the seat by undoing the seat fastener and lifting it away.
- Release filter cage tabs. The filter is secured by tabs on the filter cage. Gently release these tabs and slide the filter and cage assembly out of the airbox.
- Remove the air filter from the cage. Carefully separate the filter from the cage assembly.
- Inspect the filter. Look for tears, holes, or excessive wear. Replace if damaged.
- Clean the filter.
- Use a filter-specific cleaning agent (match biodegradable cleaner to biodegradable oil, petroleum-based for traditional oil).
- Immerse and gently massage the filter in the cleaning solution for about 10–15 minutes.
- Rinse with clean water until all dirt & oil are gone.
- Dry the filter. Squeeze out extra water and let it air dry completely (do not use compressed air or heat sources).
- Clean the airbox. Wipe the inside and sealing surface of the airbox with contact cleaner and a lint-free rag.
- Apply filter oil. Once dry, apply air filter oil evenly across the entire filter (massage it in thoroughly for full coverage). Let excess oil run out.
- Reinstall filter onto the cage. Ensure proper seating; apply a thin bead of sealing grease around the filter rim for best protection.
- Reinstall the assembly. Fit the filter/cage assembly back in the airbox, secure the tabs, and double-check the seal.
- Replace the seat. Check for any gaps or loose mounting before locking it down.
Replacement Intervals & Pro Tips
- In harsh or dusty riding conditions, check and service your filter after every ride. Under light use, inspect every 2–3 rides.
- Keep a spare, pre-oiled filter ready for quick swaps.
- Aftermarket filter screens and higher-flow filter covers are popular FE570 upgrades – but these can shorten cleaning intervals.
- Always inspect the interior intake tract and throttle body for leaks or signs of dirt; a properly serviced filter is your engine’s first defense.
Why Regular Air Filter Care Matters for the 2011 Husaberg FE570
