Maintaining a clean air filter is critical for the performance and longevity of your 2014 Husaberg FE350. This guide from MotoSport walks you through every step - tailored specifically for the FE350 - to ensure your bike breathes clean, dust-free air ride after ride.
Unique Features of the 2014 Husaberg FE350 Air Filter System
- The FE350 uses a large, easily accessible foam air filter designed for quick swaps & cleaning. The filter box layout allows tool-free removal of the side panel for convenient maintenance.
- Owners often perform air box modifications, such as opening the top or right side, to increase airflow. If your airbox has been modified for power gains, more frequent inspections and cleaning are advised, as increased flow can draw more debris into the filter element.
When Should You Clean or Replace the Air Filter?
- Clean after every 1-3 rides in dusty conditions, or every 10 hours in light use.
- Replace if the foam is torn, brittle, or retains dirt even after proper cleaning.
- Any noticeable dip in throttle response or engine performance could signal a dirty or compromised filter.
Tools & Supplies Needed
- Motocross air filter cleaner or biodegradable cleaning solution
- Air filter oil (matching the oil type to cleaner is recommended for efficiency)
- Clean water & a non-metallic container
- Rubber gloves
- Rags or paper towels
- Filter grease (optional, see tips below)
Step-by-Step Guide: Cleaning & Replacing the FE350 Air Filter
-
Remove the Side Panel:
Disengage the notched fasteners and pull the side panel backwards. This reveals the air filter assembly, located on the right side. -
Extract the Filter:
Two opposing tabs secure the foam filter to its internal cage. Gently unclip both tabs and slide the filter out. -
Inspect the Filter Element:
Examine the foam for tears, excessive dirt, or aging. Replace if necessary. -
Pre-Clean:
Remove loose debris by tapping the filter or gently brushing. -
Wash:
Submerge the filter in cleaning solution. Massage gently under the liquid to work out old oil and dirt. Avoid squeezing or wringing, which can damage foam. -
Rinse:
Rinse thoroughly with clean water until all soap and grime are gone. Repeat wash if needed for stubborn grease lines. -
Dry Completely:
Allow the filter to air dry. Do not use compressed air or heat, as this can degrade the foam. -
Oil:
Apply a high-quality foam filter oil, ensuring complete but even saturation. Massage into the foam, then squeeze out excess. Proper oiling traps dust & dirt without choking airflow. -
Seal Edges (Optional):
Some riders apply a bead of filter-specific grease around the filter rim for extra assurance against dust leaks. While filter oil alone can suffice, a thin grease application can better seal the lip, especially for extreme conditions. -
Reinstall:
Align the filter, secure both tabs, and refit the side panel securely.
Expert Tips for Your FE350
- Label and rotate two filters—one on the bike, one clean and pre-oiled—to minimize downtime.
- Always inspect the airbox for trapped dust or debris before refitting the filter.
- Modified or high-flow air boxes on the FE350 draw more air while increasing the filter’s workload. If you have modified the air box for added performance, be extra vigilant about more frequent filter checks and servicing.
- Never run the bike without a properly installed air filter–engine damage can occur in minutes.
