Preparation
- Warm up the engine with a short ride. This helps suspend contaminants in the oil for a more effective drain .
- Ensure the bike is upright and on stable ground. Turn off the engine.
- Remove the skid plate if present, unless using an RHK Oil Drain Tool .
Step-by-Step Oil Change Process
-
Drain the Engine Oil
- Place your drain pan under the engine.
- Remove the drain plug and the nearby oil screen cover. Let the oil completely drain out .
- If using an RHK Oil Drain Tool, you may not need to remove the skid plate .
-
Remove and Replace the Oil Filter
- Use an 8mm socket to unscrew the two bolts securing the oil filter cover.
- Carefully remove the cover; more oil will drain. Tilt the bike gently to the left to assist in draining .
- You may need circlip pliers to extract the filter. Remove the old filter.
- Inspect and clean the filter cover O-ring. Lightly oil the new O-ring, or replace as needed.
- Install the new oil filter. Ensure the O-ring is seated properly, and restore the cover to a firm metal-on-metal fit. Don’t overtighten; torque to spec if possible .
-
Clean the Oil Screen(s)
- Locate the banjo bolt on the upper end of the chrome oil line at the front of the engine (17mm).
- Unscrew the bolt; inside is a metal oil screen that needs cleaning .
- Carefully pull out and clean the screen. Ensure both copper crush washers are in place when reassembling; replace if damaged.
- If you find it difficult to remove, you can slightly loosen the lower banjo bolt for easier access, but do not remove it completely .
-
Reinstall All Components
- Replace and hand-tighten the oil filter, oil screen, and drain plug. Tighten all bolts to manufacturer-recommended torque specs–for Husaberg, do not overtighten the drain plug or banjo bolts to avoid stripping threads .
- Put a small dab of anti-seize grease on the drain plug and filter cover bolts, if available, to aid removal next time .
- Wipe down any spilled oil.
-
Refill with Oil
- Remove the oil fill cap and pour in 1.43 quarts (1.35 liters) of high-grade 10W-50 synthetic oil .
- Reinstall the oil fill cap securely.
- Start the engine and run it for a few minutes. Turn off and check the oil level window or dipstick; add oil as needed.
- Inspect for leaks around drain plug, filter cover, and banjo bolts.
