Tools and Supplies Needed

  • Socket set (with metric sizes)
  • Oil filter wrench
  • Drain pan
  • Gloves
  • Rags
  • Torque wrench
  • Flathead screwdriver
  • New oil filter (Husaberg Part #77038005044 or equivalent)
  • Replacement O-rings for oil filter cap (O-Ring 39,34x2,62 NBR 70 SH, Part #0770039026)
  • Appropriate engine oil (check your manual for grade and quantity)
  • Funnel

Preparation

  • Warm up your bike for several minutes to ensure the oil flows out freely and carries debris with it.
  • Stop the engine and put the bike on a stable stand.
  • Clean any dirt from around the drain and filter areas to avoid contamination.

Step-by-Step Oil Change Procedure

  1. Locate Oil Drain Plug and Oil Filter
    The oil drain plug is found at the bottom of the engine case. The oil filter cap is located on the right side of the engine, secured by bolts (refer to your owner’s manual for exact positions if unsure)

    .
  2. Drain Old Oil
    Place a drain pan underneath. Using the correct socket, remove the oil drain bolt. Allow all oil to completely drain. Be careful if the engine is hot.
  3. Remove the Oil Filter
    While the oil is draining, remove the bolts securing the oil filter cap. Gently pull off the cap—there may be a little resistance from the O-ring seal. Remove the old filter with pliers if needed, along with its gasket.
  4. Inspect and Replace O-Rings
    Examine the O-ring on the filter cap and replace it (Part #0770039026) if damaged or worn. Lubricate the new O-ring with fresh oil for a proper seal

    .
  5. Install New Oil Filter
    Slide the new filter (Part #77038005044) into place, ensuring it is oriented correctly, followed by the filter gasket. Reinstall the cap and tighten bolts evenly and to the torque spec provided in your owner's manual.
  6. Replace the Oil Drain Plug
    Clean the drain plug, check or replace its crush washer, then reinstall and torque it to specification.
  7. Add Fresh Oil
    Remove the oil filler cap and pour in the recommended oil type and quantity using a funnel. The quantity is typically listed in your service manual.
  8. Check the Oil Level
    Start the engine and run for a minute. Stop the engine and allow it to sit for a moment. Check the oil level with the sight glass (right side of engine) and top off as needed

    .
