Changing the oil in your 2009 Husaberg FE570 is a key maintenance task that keeps your engine running smoothly and extends its life. Ensuring you follow the correct steps with the appropriate tools—especially for this model, with its specific oil screens and banjo bolts—is essential. Below, you’ll find a robust and proprietary guide created for MotoSport.com, with model-specific tips and best practices for your Husaberg.

Tools and Materials Needed

  • 8mm socket and ratchet (for oil filter cover bolts)
  • 17mm wrench (for banjo bolts)
  • Drain pan
  • Clean rags
  • Circlip pliers (for removing oil filter, if needed)
  • Replacement oil filter (KTM PN 77038005000 or K&N PN KN-655)
  • Replacement oil (1.43 quarts capacity) High-quality 10W-50 synthetic recommended
  • Replacement O-rings (for oil filter cover and drain bolt, as needed)
  • New copper crush washers for banjo bolts
  • Anti-seize grease (optional)
  • RHK Oil Drain Tool (optional, for cleaner/faster changes, PN RHKWW-25-B)

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

  1. 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

      .
  2. 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

      .
  3. 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

      .
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Model-Specific Call-Outs for 2009 Husaberg FE570

  • The banjo bolt oil screen is often neglected–don’t skip cleaning it

    .
  • Be careful with the O-rings and copper washers, as the FE570 can be prone to leaks if not replaced or seated properly

    .
  • Tilting the bike left during draining ensures the most complete oil removal from this engine design

    .
  • An RHK Oil Drain Tool is compatible and can save considerable mess and time by making oil changes possible without removing the skid plate

    .

Final Tips

  • Dispose of used oil and filters responsibly at an approved facility.
  • Keep a maintenance log–knowing when your last oil change was is crucial for engine health.
  • Check your owner's manual for any changes in recommendations or torque values that might be updated for your specific bike or operating conditions

    .
  • Inspect the condition of removed oil for metal shavings, which could indicate internal wear.
  • If you notice any slow oil leaks after the change, check all O-rings, washers, and mating surfaces.

Regular oil changes with attention to detail are the most important service you can do for your Husaberg FE570. Using the correct procedures and quality parts, your engine will perform at its best and last longer—even in the toughest riding conditions.
