Shop parts for a 2011 Husaberg FE570 Dirt Bike.

Keeping your 2011 Husaberg FE570 running smoothly means regular oil changes to ensure optimal engine health and performance. This guide, proprietary to MotoSport.com, details every step, tool, and model-specific call-out to help you get the job done confidently and correctly, without missing the critical details unique to this bike.

Tools and Materials Needed

  • 8mm socket (for oil filter cover bolts)
  • 17mm socket or wrench (for oil drain plug and banjo bolts)
  • Drain pan (large enough to hold at least 2 liters)
  • Replacement oil filter (KTM PN 77038005000 or K&N PN KN-655)
  • Quality engine oil (Refer to your owner’s manual for exact specification and volume – stock oil capacity is just over 1 liter, but be aware of custom modifications that may increase this volume)
  • Circlip pliers (optional, for filter removal)
  • Anti-seize grease (optional, for thread lubrication)
  • Replacement o-ring for oil filter cover (if needed)
  • Replacement copper crush washers for banjo bolts (if needed)
  • Clean rags or shop towels
  • RHK Oil Drain Tool (optional, makes draining oil easier without skid plate removal)

Steps to Change the Oil

  1. Warm Up the Engine
    • Start the bike and let it run for approximately 3-5 minutes. This will warm the oil, allowing contaminants to remain suspended and ensuring a more thorough drain.
  2. Position the Bike and Drain Oil
    • Turn the engine off, allow the bike to cool briefly, then place it on a stand or level surface.
    • Place your drain pan under the engine.
    • If you’re using the RHK Oil Drain Tool, connect it to the drain point and route the hose to your pan. This lets you avoid removing the skid plate and keeps things cleaner (recommended for 2009–2012 FE570, including 2011).
    • Remove the oil drain plug (17mm). Let the oil flow into the pan.
    • Also remove and clean the oil screen (use a rag or brush).
  3. Remove and Replace the Oil Filter
    • Unscrew the two bolts holding the oil filter cover using your 8mm socket. Carefully remove the cover—it will likely drain additional oil, so position the pan accordingly.
    • You may need circlip pliers to extract the oil filter.
    • Let all oil drain from this housing for a few minutes.
    • Clean the oil filter cover and its o-ring. Lightly oil the new o-ring and make sure it sits properly in the groove.
    • Install the new oil filter (make sure it’s the correct type for this bike: KTM 77038005000 or K&N KN-655).
    • Reinstall the cover, ensuring a proper metal-to-metal seat between cover and engine case.
  4. Clean the Banjo Bolt Oil Filter Screen
    • Locate the banjo bolt at the upper end of the exposed chrome oil line on the front of the engine (17mm).
    • Remove the bolt and carefully extract and clean the screen inside. This catches larger particles and is vital for long engine life.
    • Check that both copper crush washers are present and undamaged—one on each side of the oil line.
    • Reinstall the banjo bolt, being careful not to overtighten.
    • Tip: Loosening the lower banjo bolt (also 17mm) can make this process easier.
  5. Reinstall Drain Plug and Fill with Oil
    • Reinstall the clean oil screen and drain plug (finger tight at first, final torque after adding oil).
    • Fill the engine with the recommended oil type and amount (stock capacity is just over 1 liter/1.05L, but see model-specific notes below).
  6. Check Oil Level
    • Start the bike and let it idle for 30-60 seconds; then shut off and let it stand for a minute or two.
    • Use the oil level glass (located on the right side of the engine) to confirm proper level.
    • Top off as needed until the level sits in the center of the sight glass with the bike upright.
  7. Final Inspection
    • Check all bolts and fittings for any drips or leaks. If you used anti-seize on threads, wipe any excess.
    • Check function and clean up any spilled oil.
  8. Proper Disposal
    • Dispose of used oil and filters at a certified recycling center.

Model-Specific Call-Outs for the 2011 Husaberg FE570

  • Oil capacity: The FE570 holds just over 1 liter of oil in stock form. Some owners have performed aftermarket frame rail mods to increase oil capacity to over 2 liters. If your bike has this modification, do NOT overfill with the stock oil volume: consult your builder or refer to signs of a second oil inlet or custom oiling lines for confirmation.
  • Oil filter types: The 2011 model accepts both KTM and K&N oil filters, but be sure to check for correct gaskets with any aftermarket filter.
  • Oil screens and banjo bolts: This engine employs both a screen at the drain and a secondary filter in a banjo bolt—both must be cleaned at every change for proper lubrication and engine protection.
  • Drain plug access: The 2011 FE570 features a skid plate that often hinders access to the drain plug. The RHK Oil Drain Tool enables quick, clean changes without removing the plate. This is highly recommended for frequent oil services.
  • Reassembly Care: Lubing o-rings and using anti-seize grease on threads will make future service easier and prevent damage, especially considering the aluminum engine case threads on this Husaberg.
  • Sight glass: The FE570 is equipped with an oil level inspection glass—never trust dipsticks or other methods; always use the sight glass for the most accurate check.
  • Replacement part numbers (as per Husaberg FE570 2011 documentation):
    • Oil Filter: 77038005044
    • Oil Filter Cap O-Ring: 0770039026
