Also worth noting that if you are doing the 1st oil change, it is quite normal to find visible chunks of metal on the magnet and screens. As the bike goes through the 1st few oil changes, you should see visible metal particles reducing as engine is wearing in.

Do not forget to slightly lube the oil filter seal before you push it into the place through 2" of oil! :)

Rocky I would crack open the oil plug to create a faster oil dump before opening the 13mm nuts. Also, change those gloves constantly before handling the filters going back in. -Gladis Kravits your nieghbor

Well I busted out the tq wrench and set it to 11.1 foot lbs and there is no way that’s tight enough. I understand it’s all aluminum and you can’t get carried away but as much as these things vibrate they would be falling out.

I have a brand new 2019 fe 501 with 2 hours on the motor and the check engine light came on. Is that normal as a reminder to change to motor oil after the first ride?
@rmatvmc5 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure if it's still a problem for the '19's but I know some of the KTM/Husky's had ECU problems that would cause that but it's hard to say. Since it's so new I would definitely recommend calling the dealer you got it from and seeing if they know what's going on. In the mean time, I'd even go over all your grounds and check that they're secure. Sorry that doesn't help much but be sure to let us know hat you find out!

I don't lay down the bike, I fill that hole inside the filter with oil and put it back. It does the trick.

That may be just fine; but a note to anyone else reading: the official husqvarna owners manual calls for laying it on it's side and 1/3 filled.

He is removing the bolt at 4:29 so that would be counterclockwise/left.

The service manual will give specifics for how often the oil should be changed. They will give a specific amount of hours before very change.

Wait ! They call this a dual sport bike? Change the oil every 15 hours ! ! ! So take this bike on a 3500 mile road trip and change the oil three times !!! So be sure to pack the oil and filters along with your sleeping bags and food ... I am impressed with the performance of the bikes and now I know why they are hi performance. HIGH MAINTENANCE !
